The Fosse Way

We’ve got Alves! (Alves!) He plays a Brazilian’s game But with one syllable in his name Not unpronounceable But hard to believe it

That was our fans singing that.

It's almost like the Positivity Army didn't notice De Cordova-Reid in the third year of his three-year contract stinking the place out up front on Saturday. It's blindingly obvious why so many people don't want us dishing out long contracts, because we hardly ever get rid of anyone before they end. It was the same with Daka. It's the same with Luke Thomas. Faes is still here for god's sake.

You can't even tell if posts like this are satire any more.

Full of positivity about this. Signing a couple of big lumps up front will be good prep for when Martin's sacked and we can play them together in a 4-4-2 to rise to lower mid-table.

If by "amazing physical tools" he means "feet shaped like feet" then that's one over on Okoli already.

Losing far too many club legends in one window here. Woyo is where I draw the line.

Particularly rough week for the Necessary Transfer Activity : Nonsense In The Transfer Talk Forum ratio. Begging for that glorious blank space to appear for a split second before being replaced with a Percy tweet about a striker incoming, or a ball-playing centre-back on loan, or Luke Thomas being fired into the sun.

George Worst

No stone unturned

If he's 6 foot 3, Kasey McAteer might be 6 foot 4 after all.

Almost spat out my quinoa and kale wrap reading that we're signing this fellow.

Fair play to him blaming relegation on being "an incredibly young team" with a straight face. Absolute biscuit whisker.

We've appealed and he's been downgraded to Michael Bronzeing

Plus his dad played for us.

Well, we can all just make up names. Have we heard anything from Ludovic Splaz, Destiny Moopflugel or Kasper Flobgren?

Well, we had a friendly in this country against opposition from the same league in August 2021 but not quite the same vibe...

So relegation to League One coincides with two people holding similar job roles and the more senior, experienced staff member leaves while the more junior, newer and presumably lower-paid staff member remains to do the job... can think of another situation where that might be a better idea.

That first LCFC XI hits like crack. Gets to the point where the team and year comes up and you know it's a waste of time looking. Ian Walker Frank Sinclair Michael Keane Damien Delaney Mike Whitlow Harry Winks Matt Oakley Mark Davies Riyad Mahrez Jason Wilcox Emile Heskey Finished 6th.

Rare to see such a well-used analogy. Hats off to you.

The birthday announcer might discover at the first game that Cifuentes married Brenda Nout over the summer and took her surname

Sounds ideal, if he can cut out the starting well.

We’ve posted a three-part review of the season over the past three days - the final part is here: https://thefosseway.net/2026/05/28/the-big-leicester-city-women-2025-26-season-review-part-3-looking-to-the-future/ It’s interesting covering both the men’s and women’s teams. The numbers are pretty small in terms of interest in the women’s side but even running the site, it’s been tough to find the enthusiasm to watch the games or read the contributors’ match reports sometimes when it’s another chunk of the weekend dedicated to watching a Leicester defeat. We’re going to try to keep it going next season though, as outside of this thread there’s very little critical thinking about LCFC Women out there, even when it seems like a parallel of the kind of lazy approach to scouting and strategy that’s affected the men’s side.

Frankly, they deserve to be in a catch 22. What we're seeing here is Leicester fans demonstrating we still care what happens to the club in the present and the future, that we're not content to wallow in the past as if it doesn't matter what happens from 2016 onwards. It is insane to think tens of thousands of fans are choosing not to go to a charity anniversary match for the greatest sporting story of all time, but the club is 100% responsible for that - particularly around the lack of consistent communication. If there was humility in their comms, accountability in the decision-making or clarity around the long-term strategy, a lot more people would be willing to entertain attending this match. There were numerous ways to avoid this - don't get relegated, ensure the big names can be there, have a very public survey about how fans would like to celebrate the anniversary, announce it further in advance, get better guests - but what we've ended up with merely reflects the state of the club at the moment. It's entirely fitting that this is a mess.
