  1. What's quite hard to tolerate for me is how big a flakiness this has exposed in this club and fanbase in general. It's the same at Southampton as well but that isn't really any consolation. To me it's the length of time that the piss taking culture has actually gone on for. There is simply no possible outcome at Everton for example where this could be allowed to play out. They've had some dire teams, turned in some hilarious and embarrassing results, but as low as things get at that place, there is something, somewhere, that puts an end to it. The players know that they can't get away with taking the piss there. Whether it's the fanbase in general, fan groups, people within the club, god, even local bandits. There is at least at some point fairly soon into any shambolic period for them going to be a force that puts an end to it. What has been exposed at Leicester is that we don't have this. Where is it coming from here? You have a small minority of fans trying to do something about it. Clearly nobody at the club truly cares much about it - regardless of if the reason is because they don't want to upset Aiyawatt, nobody is putting their head above the parapet and doing something about it. The players clearly don't care. The fans for the most part are happy to tolerate this. The entire thing boils down to the way the pride in the club itself has been eroded in the past decade or so for me. You see signs of it on here even with the whole "we need to get at Top, Vichai's dream is dead". This club is bigger than Vichai. Yet a large proportion of our fanbase subconsciously act otherwise. I never liked the KP worship even when things were good and I could never truly articulate what it was. It's become easier now things have objectively gone to pot, but something in my gut knew it was wrong. What that worshipping did was lay the foundations for exactly what is now happening, to happen. And I really don't know how you fix it.
  2. Watching us get relegated to League One with a team I disliked a lot less than this one.
  3. Can anyone suggest if there's any potential motive for this? I'm not disagreeing either btw. This is the most astounding incompetence I've ever witnessed. To a point I'm 99.9% sure I could run this club better than our actual owners. If I was sabotaging Forest I genuinely think I would struggle to pull it off this effectively.
  4. It's gotten worse on the pitch since then. Go as hard as possible. History won't be on the side of the facebook divs.
  5. It would be extremely easy to prevent happening. The problem is because we've already had one promotion out of that league, they will just assume it to be a foregone conclusion again and continue their coasting. That would be in-keeping with the behaviour we've seen in the last few years. The difference this time is that we won't have the biggest budget in the leagues history and have a fairly comfortably worse team. We may luck it on an appointment again but I wouldn't even put it past that idiot owner to stick with this bloke. I wouldn't call back to back relegations likely, but I do think if it could happen anywhere, we are right up there. The club absolutely stinks. From top to bottom it's disgusting. Without substantial change at this club, the decline will only continue.
  6. You just cannot believe the decline. I think if Newcastle had some sort of disaster which wiped out their entire squad, a Chapecoense like incident I don't think they would fall as hard as we have done in the last three years. I've seen some bad fall offs but this is just beyond anything you could believe possible.
  7. This is in my opinion the worst team to play at this level since Derby, and in some ways it's even worse because back in Derby's day in this league teams had a lot less mercy. While we're only losing games 2/3-0 that is largely due to energy conservation. Newcastle could've easily had 8/9 tonight but just thought better of it. The Southampton thing is a total freak. We're on 17 points, probably lucky to have even half as many as that, have been second best in I'd say probably all 31 games we've played this season (including Southampton which the officials won us the game). I used to have a bit of a chuckle when people said we could go back to back for relegation but with the arrogance of this board and the delusion that surrounds the club you really do wonder.
  8. They've exposed us for what we really are.
  9. Thaike Ashley out!
  10. How we react at board level in the summer will determine if I put money on straight relegations or not. The club is in total freefall.
  11. Embarrassing result for Newcastle.
  12. The table absolutely lies.
  13. I think since he's taken them over they're actually top of the form table - which is mental really.
  14. 100% true. Realised this beyond any doubt under Maresca.
  15. Man City a disgrace. Essentially had midweek off and they serve that up. Manchester derby the most overrated there is.
  16. I expect tomorrow to be our lowest PL attendance probably since this stadium opened.
  17. VAR and PSR have killed what little romance was left in the game.
  18. An extremely forgettable Premier League season.
  19. Of course. I'm buzzing for that first 20k crowd next season.
  20. No fan of his but anyone slating the current state of LCFC is obviously correct.
  21. We don't even attempt to attack. It's ridiculous. It's not even bad variance - we just don't attack whatsoever.
  22. And we're easily bigger than Blackburn.
  23. Away support in general has shot up though. I remember us taking about 800 to Cardiff for a 3pm game in the year we made the playoffs (2009?). Last season we took 3k on a Friday and would've easily taken more. Got to be applied with the context of how much away support has increased in general.
  24. If we had Ben Marshall now we'd cling on for five years, loan him to whoever and then release him for nothing at the end.
