Commentary from BBC’s Owynn!

He’s rightly talked about Man City with glowing terms as he joins them (ignoring the 115 charges obvs😉but I’ve not seen a quote yet thanking the club he’s been at since he was 9. Have I just missed it?

Watching Leicester’s wingers in the past two seasons has been a truly miserable experience tbh.

That’s clearly not true. Rowett was worse statistically and visibly too. Remember he also effectively relegated Oxford in the same season. Top and Rudkin gave us less chance of staying up when Rowett was appointed.

He would’ve been aware he wasn’t staying. I certainly don’t have much sympathy for a manager who failed spectacularly in his quest to avoid relegation. His team earned significantly less PPG than the guy he replaced and he ultimately relegated two clubs from The Championship in one season. After that was he was doing punditry on the Championship playoffs as if his catastrophic season had never happened.

Facts mate. If the club is successful this season, there won’t be many season tickets available next season. The only way there’ll be opportunities to get season tickets is if the club has another rubbish season and more pre existing season ticket holders give up.

Those that have cancelled their season tickets need the club to continue to fail to enable them to get season tickets again in the near future tbf. If the club are successful next season then there’ll be very few season tickets available for the following season.

People make the usual mistake that social media reflects the majority of opinion, when online we all shout into an echo chamber - a bit like this thread!

It’s taken him this long and numerous attempts to (finally) successfully hit the post button on Instagram.

That’s Leeds Utd away

I think LOROS do a fabulous job providing hospice care. It’s a bit harsh to shun such a good local charity because they once decided that your mates mate’s album wasn’t financially worth doing anything with!

Now this World Class opposition has been announced, ticket sales will go through the roof. I thought they’d go for obvious class prem players from the era like Cambiasso, Maybe a Gerrard, Ozil, Lukaku etc but no these guys set themselves a bigger target and have only gone and pulled it off. What a fkin list of the absolute crème de La crème of elite ex premier league footballers. I’m particularly excited to watch a midfield built 100% on tricks and skills - The holy trinity of Gosling, Whelan and Houlihan are finally together and the football they will produce will be worth the entrance fee alone and hopefully some fabulous all stars merch 🥰

Yeh agreed. In those last 5 games he went from looking like a competition winner who had never kicked a ball in his life to a competition winner who had once had a 10 minute kick around at school at play time to make up the numbers but had never been asked again. Truly astonishing turnaround

Historic moment - we need to retire Ayew’s unique cement boots and put them in a sturdy display case at the KP.

Historic moment. We need to retire Patson’s unique 50p toed boots and put them in a display case at the KP in memory of those fabulous wayward finishes. Credit also needs to go to his 50p forehead.

The touch of a trampoline

I doubt he’ll go to Cov, otherwise that will be 3 seasons in English football and 3 relegations for JJ.

🤣

🤣

Great to look back at this thread. 🤣🤣

Similar when Praet left, they didn’t mention that pass he did that one time at Brentford away in the FA Cup.

Loving the commentary being slightly ahead of play on the bbc, it’s made an almost unwatchable game even less watchable

I don’t think that view is universal

Will Still will still be receiving compensation for his sacking, with that in mind will he still give evidence? There will still be relevant staff there recruited by Will Still though. Whether the spy, (maybe originally recruited by Will Still) will still be employed by the saints will still presumably be being debated by the club right up until the EFL make a decision. Still, Will Still won’t be involved in this discussion. I’m sure he will still have some passing interest in it though. It’ll be interesting to see if Will Still will still be willing to take on a new manager’s role elsewhere. Whether we’ll still be talking about Will Still in a year or so will still be open to debate.

They will have a choice to play first team football at Leicester next season or take the big risk of being swallowed up by a Man U reserve system that has progressed very few players long term into the 1st team in recent years. Before anyone says football is a brief career and they should move - these pair have potentially got 18-20 years left. Thats a long time in any career these days!
