For the blind faith you always showed in old 50p boots you should receive a percentage of his wage.

Masterclass from Patson

That’s ELK gone then.

Can’t believe the amount of Schlupp haters. In a transfer embargo situation he’s a solid free transfer.

I remember going to the toilet at half time and being amazed to see an old guy with a face mask on. Little did I know that for a time they’d be an additional fashion garment often worn pointlessly by people under the nose. Now worn predominantly by lads driving illegal electric bikes at 40mph on pavements.

Ruud ignored Buonanotte, Mavididi, McAteer whilst obsessing with Ayew and BDCR as non functioning wingers. He became obsessed with a midfield with absolutely no creativity in Bouba and Ndidi who also lacked the collective discipline and consistent effort to be a solid defensive pairing and bomb squaded the only creative centre mid in our squad (Winks) and gave up on Hamza despite his ability to play Ricardo’s inverted role amongst a number of other defensive/midfield positions. For those bizarre and self destructive prolonged actions he deserves to go. Sorry Ruud.

Step forward Danny Ward….

Ruud has so blotted his copybook with that ongoing losing run featuring no goals and no creative players on the pitch that even Martin feels like a step in the right direction. Maybe he’s learned from his Saints nightmare. Playing risk ball from the keeper requires top level players and as we’ve all seen, as soon as you try doing that against better, fitter, cleverer footballers you quickly get found out - as Ramsdale, Bednarek et al discovered. If he does get appointed we won’t fully find out until the season starts but one thing’s for sure, if he selects BDCR on the wing then we know we have truly jumped out of the furnace and into the fire.

Winks is technically our best and most creative midfielder whether many on here like it or not. Ruud found a way to not play him as he found a way to not play our other creative senior players Mavididi, Buonanotte and Kasey McAteer when we still had a chance to stay up. RVN’s treatment of these key players whilst obsessing over the none contributory PL experience of BDCR and a midfield of no creativity in Bouba and Ndidi is probably why he’ll lose his job without too much to complain about.

Taking the fine and points deduction this season and starting fresh next season presumably with certain high earning players also moved on from the squad and a significant change at boardroom level makes every sense…. …..so we know it won’t happen. Instead we’ll fight it into next season. Receive a fine and points deduction then, keep the same overpaid failures in the squad and give Rudders a wage rise, a new tracksuit and more responsibility.

Strangely enough only a selection of the ex players were read out not all of them that were on the pitch tbf. I put that down to our new announcer not knowing who everyone was. He continued to call Wes ‘Wesley’ throughout his interview earlier even though he was always Wes (or Big Wes) at Leicester so I’m guessing he hadn’t done enough research to identify Nathan Dyer et al.

Same here. Judging by the comments there should’ve been an option for Futacs, he clearly had some fans at the time 😂

Still annoyed at the commemorative Vardy programmes being sold out 1 hour before kick off and then seeing blokes old enough to know better with stacks of multiple copies that they’ve been allowed to buy. My 9 year old missed out. It should’ve been one per ticket. There’s none online left with the club and there are loads on eBay for 10x the price ffs.

Liam Moore

Waggy was there

Benalouane was on the pitch too. Forgot him. I know James and Kasper were there too but I didn’t see them on the pitch

Tbf he was good today, playing more centrally behind a main striker seems to be his best role.

On the pitch was defo De Laet, Waggy, Simmo, Nuge, Conrad. Schlupp, Sharkey, Big Wes, Dyer, Benny Hamer, Drinky, Shinji, St Ledger, Wasilevski, Liam Moore. Winksy was there too in his casuals.

Anyone else get a different flag? I’m absolutely fkin raging

Definitely more outrage was always going to be directed at a potential £8m spent on a declining 33 year old squad player than it was on a potential £7.5m for a 24 year old player that was visibly unlucky not to start many more games under Enzo.

It’s absolutely true. Monga’s game time on the right has only increased since RVN hasn’t been able to pick Reid in the squad due to his timely injury.

I liked Yunus and thought he was a bit harshly treated by Enzo, perhaps because he preferred to be more central as a 10 rather than the 8 that Enzo preferred. I thought he would’ve been one of those players who could step up and shine in the more technical premier league. I’d have him over this season signings Ayew, Reid and Skipp every day of the week.

Monga’s only getting game time because one of Ruud’s favourites - ‘The Ghost of Bobby de Cordova Reid™️’ is injured and thus not able to haunt the right wing

Wouldn’t it be great if all international kits were fitted actually with capes? Tbf fashionista Chilly wears some rascal outfits, I wouldn’t be surprised if he owned a feminine cape or two now he’s a London boy,

Assistant referees can still flag straight away if they are confident the player was offside.
