  1. Kingys gonna get relegated from every league he’s won isn’t it
  2. This football club is in serious existential trouble.
  3. Has anyone got clips of the goals?
  4. This is a quote from the club's statement after we won a case that proved that the EFL could not in fact charge us in the Championship for alleged breaches in the Premier League: "LCFC continues to try and co-operate constructively with both the Premier League and the EFL to reach a lawful resolution of any issues relating to PSR, in accordance with our consistent commitment that any charges against the Club should be properly and proportionately determined, in accordance with the applicable rules, by the right bodies, and at the right time." This is a quote from the club's statement after we won the jurisdictional case vs the Premier League in September 2024: "In challenging the Premier League’s attempts to charge Leicester City, the Club has simply sought to ensure (in the interests of providing consistency and certainty for all clubs) that the rules are applied based on how they are actually written." This is from the Premier League during the June 2024 commission over jurisdiction - which we lost and was overturned by an appeal board in the September of 2024: 49. The PL submits that the PSRs for a particular Season involve an accounting process and must continue to apply, however, long it takes for the accounting process to be concluded. It further submits that a breach of the PSRs in a given season has a detrimental effect on other clubs in the competition in that season, that effective enforcement of the PSRs is important, and that it would not accord with the purpose of the PSRs if they were construed in such a way that a breach "became untethered from the season in which the adverse effect on competition was felt or the PSRs failed to affect overspending incurred in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid relegation". This was the summer after they'd given Everton an eventual 6 point deduction for the 2021/22 season and a 2 point deduction for the 2022/23 season. And almost a year after they'd introduced the 12 week fast track rule that they'd tried and failed to use against us in the Championship that season. Everton served both of those points deductions in the 2023/34 season, instead of the 21/22 & 22/23 the breaches happened in or the respective seasons following those. Pretty bloody untethered. Leeds have already settled out of court with Everton for 21/22 back in September - they finished 1 point behind Everton in 17th place and lost out on the £1.9m merit payment the extra place would have got them. Burnley finished 4 points behind Everton and were relegated. They currently have a £50m compensation case against Everton, ongoing as we speak. If the Premier League had acted on Everton's case sooner, and either of their points deductions had been applied correctly in the 2022/23 season, in accordance with their stated aim keeping punishments deducted close to the season the 'crime' happened in, Everton would have been relegated and we would not. Our own 22/23 PSR case would have been held in 23/24 (the fast track rule came in Summer 2023 but was not retroactive) and we would have been deducted points as a Premier League club. That's before you even get to the absurdity of the Premier League's claim that we gained an unfair sporting advantage in a season in which we were relegated. We were at a sporting disadvantage due to the Premier League's failure to uphold its own rules. That also applies to the Manchester City case, which has had a direct and serious impact on our income and ability to comply with PSR, and which is STILL NOT ****ING CONCLUDED. None of our cases should have been heard before this one is concluded. The Premier League's behaviour towards us is outrageous and while people are right to be angry with Top and Rudkin for what's happened to us, they should be equally if not more angry at the Premier League for its failure to apply its own rules correctly and its repeated attempts to punish us under rules that either don't exist, rules under another organisation that they have no jurisdiction over, or rules that even they have stated are "far from well drafted". We had the right to fair play and we have had absolutely anything but. From Martin Samuel's article about us earlier this year: "... that’s what PSR does — it cements mistakes in place, with no second chances. So Leicester will be relegated, suffer a points deduction in the league below and conduct a fire sale of what little talent the club do possess, ... No one is arguing the club have not been run poorly, but PSR ensures they get no opportunity to change course. This isn’t double jeopardy, it’s quadruple jeopardy. It is almost as if the Premier League won’t rest until it kills a club, just to show it can." None of us should really have a problem with Leicester City facing consequences from breaking any rules. Every single one of us should have a problem with the Premier League's behaviour and be supporting the club's fight against them, based on the principles in the two quotes at the top of this post. TL;DR: **** the Premier League
  5. ¡Ándale, ándale! ¡Arriba, arriba!
  6. Strollin' Joe Aribo. ****ing hell.
  7. He could fail it on purpose to stay at Newcastle if he so wanted.
  8. Thank **** Dry January’s almost over there’s no way I’m doing this relegation sober.
  9. MASSIVE increase in manager confidence...
  10. Been waiting for a divine intervention.
  11. AYEW IS OFFFFFFFFFFFFF
  12. Ayew getting in the way of Page for what could have been a tap in. Useless ****ing twat
  13. **** OFF AYEW YOU ABSOLUTE ****ING TWAT
  14. ****ing disastrous.
  15. 10 minutes of stoppage time, but the LCFC steam says 9?!
  16. That's the problem. The enforcement of PSR has been so wildly inconsistent that the consequences have become a chronological mess
  17. Side note but I wonder if they saw the letters COP in Copilot and thought it was a genuine tool for police work?!
  18. Catherine O'Hara, aged 71. Perhaps best known as Kevin’s mum in Home Alone and more recently for Schitts Creek and The Studio.
  19. 4 Beatles films by Sam Mendes, all coming in 2028:
  20. Timing, jurisdictional overreach and selective enforcement. Really though it comes down to, who has the best argument? So far, consistently, that's been us.
