Sheff Utd abhorrent. Arsenal look like they can score at will. 0-5 at HT. Let's hope not, but a right possibility.

Depends on your budget. If you can afford perhaps £70-£80 I'd say ASICS are the most comfortable IMO. On a strict budget you can pick up a decent pair of Kelanjis from Decathlon for £20-30 that do the job.

Yes. These are the estimated contracts before any relegation release clause. I'd imagine that you could take 30% off all the wages on that list but then still question where this data has come from. I also don't think Winks would have been given such a big contract at the start of a Championship season either.

I know this will be controversial but I've actually missed VAR, there's been too many times we've been on the wrong end of very poor critical decisions this season.

I think the atmosphere now can be traced back to the fan base we gained from 2016. We have a large group of fans (I doubt many would post on here) so if you have been supporting us pre-2016 and would consider attending an away game, this probably doesn't apply to you. These fans got caught up in all the hype surrounding the miracle, probably enjoyed the following Champions League year and FA Cup win, but now the reality of supporting Leicester is kicking in they realise they'd prefer to browse Tiktok or spend 50 minutes in a cold concourse supping on battery acid and queuing for overpriced junk. They wouldn't know what an away game is and would have never considered going - that's why there is such a huge difference between our die-hard away fans. Singing a song is way down on their list of things to do - trust me! I see the same family all over the KP. There will be 3 or 4 kids messing on with each other, not paying attention to anything happening on the pitch. Dad will go off on 35 mins and return on 65 with about £80 (no joke) worth of food and drink, dish it all out not paying attention to anything happening on the pitch. It's such a weird mentality and it's something I never saw in the past. We all probably know a family that has suddenly become 'fans' since the miracle. They have a distorted understanding of the reality of football and Leicester City. One benefit (and I'm struggling to think of many more) of suffering for a bit in the Championship would that a lot of these 'fans' or better described as 'visitors' to the KP would get recycled, a lot like the squad of over paid rubbish would too.

It's a funny one in the sense that usually when someone doesn't play like this, when it's obviously crying out for them, it's down to something behind the scenes that we will never learn about - a bit like Cags with Rodgers. What's bizarre is that we know Coady is the ultimate professional and Enzo had already noted this when Coady was travelling with the squad to away games when injured. Every time I see him on the subs bench he looks 100% committed to the cause and behaves in the way you'd expect from him. The only thing I can put this down to is a bit of inexperience on Enzo's side. Perhaps he's been so focused on stats and his philosophy he's totally not considered the thing that is hard to measure - having leadership and experience on the pitch.

I've just fired up the boiler. Seems to work ok if anyone needs to use in here tonight. Got a plenty of beers in the fridge, help yourself and also the spirits cabernet is full.

The 2 ribeye steaks for £8 are the only meat that I'd get from Asda that seems pretty good value -they're normally tender. I think the best value steak is the £3 one in Aldi, usually very consistent in it's quality. I don't know if anyone else is in to their steaks, but you can get some right tough steaks if you're not careful. Aldi do this giant 16oz rump that I couldn't cut with a chain saw.

There's a term for it that I can't recall, shrinkflation maybe🤔 but I have noticed at Asda that things such as grapes for example are now down to about 350 grams when they used to be 400g. Go to other supermarkets and most of the grapes are 500g but a bit more expensive so Asda might seem cheaper on fruit but you're getting 30% less grapes per box. A lot of the big brands have done it too. They just reduce the amount of chocolate in the bar or take out some biscuits out of the pack and sell for same price and most people don't notice. Sneaky as ****.

Can't believe this has more rep than my original love affair with Enzo 😂

Sexism is ok in this thread because I'm not offended by this.

I feel these last few weeks have been a massive eye opener to the sheer class of Enzo compared to the last 2 years or so from Rodgers. You don't always judge a man on how they are when they win, but more importantly how they hold themselves when they lose. Enzo could have easily called the players out V Leeds or blamed the board, but no, he remained calm and measured and we oozed confidence tonight and the players looked so focused in the final part of the game. Do you remember how nervous we became under Brendan after he called them out? I also thought to myself how fit we looked even deep into extra time. Just as I was thinking about how unfit at times we were under Rodgers, I see Vestegaard gallop up the pitch from end to end and nearly dink one in! What a goal that would have been! Imagine if someone had told you last season that in a year's time we'd be playing a premier league team and Big Jan would be charging up the pitch with 110 mins in his legs tearing the opposition to shreds! Vestegaard really does look like a new man, I'm really starting to believe he could do a job next season and this mainly the confidence Enzo has instilled in him. Add to all of this it was at Bournemouth where we propper bottled it under Rodgers and we never seemed to recover from that day. It's been a very interesting few weeks I think and makes me realise how lucky we are to have the great Enzo Maresca

So much confusing opinions floating about. You go on the Wednesday forum and a lot of their fans think it was some of the best away support of the season. They also claim we're the quietest they've come across. People on here claim Wednesday were quiet and we actually were decent tonight. Think it points to one thing - the terrible and inconsistent acoustics at the KP. If you're in the family stand all you can hear is the away fans very loud you can't hear anything else at all. When I sat near the singing section a few weeks a go it was very loud but you don't hear really much else, even if the away fans are having a good day. The sound just doesn't seem to carry at all anywhere.

My theory in all of this is that the Russians have known Biden is mentally gone for a long while, even the average person will have realised this if you've watched him over the last few years - the decline in mental ability has been fast and heading only one way. The mainstream media are only reporting this now - I think that plays into the Russians hands as if he had to be replaced earlier they'd probably have seen someone much stronger campaigning against Trump. So to lure people into a false sense of security they made out Putin to be ill and on his last legs, the western media jumped on this and this took the pressure/focus off Biden (the Russians wanted him running for the next election remember) We have it all coming out now that Biden is pretty much f**ked and has pretty much no hope of getting re-elected and there's no time to sort it out for the Democrats. Putin is looking like he has made a remarkable recovery from all the ailments he had at the start of the war! It seems all the legal stuff Trump is going through will end up in Russias favour too and he'll be the next president. Trump has said that he can stop the war in a day. I'd imagine that will mean not forecably telling Russia anything, he'll tell Ukraine that they have to give up some land and give some assurance about not trying to join NATO. If they refuse, America will stop funding the war which will ultimately mean Europe picks up the tab and with the current economic situation in countries like ours, I can't see public support for the war lasting long.

I'd imagine any half decent candidate would be chomping at the bit to run against these two. I'm not clued up with American politics but I think they're crying out for a young, smart modern and forward thinking president. Not sure if there's anyone in the shadows that fits the bill?

I remember when we were doing well in the Premier League and you'd hear the derogatory saying with quite a few of our unconvincing players "he's bottom prem/top championship standard" in other words "sh*t!!!" Only "sh*t" relatively to what we were trying to achieve though... So now we find ourselves at the top of the Championship where he's doing well, and all of a sudden people seem to think it means it works the other way! He'd be a decent Premier League standard player now! Yes, Rodgers messed up massively with him and drained all confidence but I'm not convinced, even with the new found confidence under Enzo he'd be less of a risk he was last time he played due to his glaring lack of pace and physicality in the top league. He's been caught out a bit this season too but the Championship strikers are such dog turd it's all forgotten. I mean this is why he's a Championship standard defender! He's been pretty sensational this season though but it's hardly a surprise.

Foxestalk is the best place to find anything out Leicester City. Anything half true will come on here and then we all decide if it's worth the energy or not as the threads sink or float.

What's all this end of career nonsense. He's come out recently to say how he loves the game more than ever and and has no thoughts of retiring. He'll be scoring goals for us next season, I'm sure of it. Thought he looked sharp against Stoke, had a bit of the pace back. Think he's had a little niggle that's been slowing him down for a while but he's looking really good recently.

I think for me the football isn't boring as it's interesting to see how we build and reset but it has been at times frustrating when the ball is played back to the defence when there is an obvious attacking opportunity. For me it's the more intelligent footballers, Ricardo, Justin who are the worst for it. It's as if they've bought so much into Enzo's structure that they're seeing the game in a different way. It's as if they're not as alert to random opportunities that may come about and have lost a bit of instinct. I would say that game against Stoke was the best performance, not just the scoreline but playing on instinct mixed with control. I hope this is ultimately what Enzo wants.

I can see us Leeds and Southampton this second half of the season absolutely motoring a head and I predict at the end of the season there will be a gap from 3rd to someone like Ipswich in 4th of over 15 points. We could see the three of us all over 100 points but it's crazy that one of the teams, I have a feeling it'll be Southampton, will have had an unbelievable year but see themselves in the lottery of the playoffs. Yes, the third team does of course have a chance of going up via the playoffs but the playoffs have a funny way of levelling everyone so it'll be an exciting watch this year no doubt, especially (finger crossed) us well out of the way watching stress free. I'm really interested to see, if say Southampton, have an amazing season, finish third, mess up the playoffs to see how they react next year? Do they have to sell in the summer, do they struggle next year even if keeping the squad? It'll be a good case study. What a league the Championship is, you'd think anyone down to say Bristol City has a chance of 6th and could find themselves in the Premier League over one of the big three.
