The Doctor

looks like it's only if they've played any minutes, presumably to prevent another smithies situation. In which case it has to be Aribo or Richards

who we all voting for to spoil, for them to then just make up a random recipient (zero chance Iheanacho actually was voted PoTY in 22/23)?

made it to all season ticket holders without selling out a single block yet

I mean the odds were 5000/1 for a reason, any owners, any manager, any team to win the title from literally nowhere (we'd spent 1 of the previous 11 years in the top flight and were rock bottom for 75% of it) requires a huge amount of luck. The bigger question is incompetence and no one could seriously claim they were incompetent under Vichai. He wasn't infallible, he made plenty of mistakes but no company of any sort gets 100% of decisions right, success comes from recognizing where you've errored and course correcting - Vichai did, Aiyawatt hasn't and has doubled down instead.

I mean I love the man but there is one statue we should have, and only one, and it's Wes and Ranieri lifting the trophy together

6-1 defeat that killed off Sousa and capped the abysmal start to life under King Power coming full circle. (honestly I'd take getting punted 6-1 on national tv if it meant Aiyawatt and his little Renfield left this summer)

something very funny about "no club has ever been relegated from this league with that many points, except this one that did". Took several reads to realise you meant finishing on exactly 53 points, even though going over is always treated as reaching.

kinda is. "legacy fans" as they put it aren't buying a ton of merch and food/drink. Day-trippers are. Of course they're a bit too stupid to understand you're not gonna get many day trippers playing against Cheltenham and Mansfield rather than Chelsea and Man Utd.

I'd be up for it. I'm about as mobile as Ayew these days mind

yea, I'd sooner they had deals with local independent businesses like this than market a film of fatawus ACL recovery, like it was a Jesus level resurrection and not a relatively common injury

ngl, I'm tempted particularly if we're down for a full 90 minutes of yelling abuse at those gutless twats

this is genuinely where I'm at. Survival isn't happening so let's get relegated by as many as possible, take excuses away from the idiot son and his inept butler

right, because fundamentally there's nothing wrong with being hands off, just sign the cheques, so long as you appoint the right people to run the day to day, and are ready to act when those people are no longer the right people to do it. If he was hands off but had appointed a good dof, by luck or judgement, there wouldn't be a particular issue with him

bold to think they'd be that good

or the Chinese super League this season, 9 of 16 teams started on negative points

copyright is a bit wooly on this tbf. Parody is protected as fair dealing, and artists have made entire careers off it, but it's generally don't use more than you actively need to to make the parody point, and even then if it can be considered harmful to their image it can be disapplied.

this is it, I enjoy our away ends, the home ends are usually a lot sat in silence, or moaning about those standing and singing (I've had more than one occasion this season someone buying a single ticket in the safe standing section around me then moaning that people are stood up, ****ing room temperature IQs on display there), and having the season ticket rather than hope it gets to general sale is really the last remaining justification

enough has gone on now that no one can reasonably say we just need rudkin gone, very clear that he does not go until the nepo baby does

gonna end up keeping mine more for the away tickets than anything at this point. I end up resenting every weekend I travel to Leicester to watch, but there's a decent number of Lancashire and yorkshire teams in league one that I can get to fairly easily

fair point, what is Jordan Rhodes doing these days?

there's a shocking number of people who think that being a fan is cheering your team no matter what, and that by clapping that they're better fans than people demanding standards and effort.

he was shit. I have a small degree of sympathy given the stuff that came out late last year about the players refusing to do anything as basic as strength and conditioning training, and I respect that he tried to drive some of them out of the club, but while I will at this point tolerate a below average manager who bullies this squad of pricks out of the club, below average is a pipe dream he can only aspire to

man thinks a wetherspoons 'fried' breakfast is the peak of cuisine, let's be honest

give it 20 minutes and @Libertine will have a version of Out Of The Woods in the BSLB thread - Out of the Club

tbf, convince her fans that Rudkin is has harmed her career in anyway and they'll cyberbully him to the point of retiring within a day. might be more effective that the protests have been
