I think we are privileged to be witnessing something quite special. Legendary even.

That's a problem, but not the fundamental one. The fundamental problem with team is psychological. They don't care and they are trapped in a spiral.

Is it possible that we appeal and they deduct us 9? I have heard that our 6 points was actually quite lenient.

Pound for pound, its not even close.

On the plus side, we're only one down. We might have one of our good (less bad) halves next.

No, because they have proven to play at a higher level previously. Weird and proud, dickhead.

We liquidate next year

You sound delighted. Nelson, like Jakub and like anybody you could put into it, has been dragged down to the level of this team.

If it was a horse, it would be shot

I make it that this team, even with loanees and academy graduates cost £115m, give or take. Scarcely believable that they could be this bad even if they were doing it on purpose.

Even prior to that, when we were good, we were still mentally weak, surrendering Champions League football when we were nailed on for it. TWICE!

yes

I think you're missing the point, this is not about being shit. Personally, I have seen many relegations and many crap Leicester teams, but never did it feel self-inflicted. Well, Taylor's relegation did, but I blame Taylor for that rather than the club. Anyway, our current situation has seen us drop from chasing Champion's League to trying to avoid relegation to league one due to a series of self-inflicted cock ups that continue to this day. The trouble is that no one has been held to account. The decision makers that got us into this mess are still making the decisions today and still getting it wrong. This is less about us being shit (which is a scandal, given the cost of the squad btw) but more about the ongoing governance of the club. Whilst they remain in charge the circus continues.

I suppose. And I know that it borders on blasphemy to be critical of shinji, I just never 'got it' with him.

Still amazes me that we won the league with okazaki as a regular starter. Yes, he worked hard, but there was nothing about his game that suggested a top six level player. He was a forward though and has said that it was a major gripe that he had to play in a more withdrawn role and that he was never really happy here.

Young players can be inconsistent. It's part of developing. I would say that a good prospect can easily have bad games, but a bad prospect is less likely to be able to have good games if that makes sense.

Getting off the tube at Wembley for the derby play off, mass brawl all around me that lasted about ten seconds. As the dust cleared there were bodies laid out everywhere. Don't know if they were Leicester or Derby. It felt like that scene in pulp fiction where Samuel L Jackson gets shot at, looks himself up and down and can't believe that he hasn't been hit. It seemed a miracle to walk through it unscathed.

We'll have to agree to differ on that one.

Just a nothing player as I remember and a crock at that. Another one of Taylors duds

Bit harsh

Not really, idiots tend to be very loud and conspicuous. It's not very often that you get a subtle idiot and you're definitely one of the first kind.

Depends. Ask Enzo, Cooper, Marti or Ruud. I think the original question related to last permanent manager who was an ex-player. Andy King being interim

Rumble's accidentally posted the first paragraph of his new novel. Like it.

You're right. We've missed a trick here. We should have gone for Ancelotti.

McLintock lasted a season.
