All bottom six teams are involved against one another on 20/21st April. Not often that happens around this time of the season.

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
StanSP replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Also Everton are playing mitigation again and admission of guilt to try and get a lesser punishment. That doesn't bode so well for us in some respects... -
Yeah anyone can see the form has been crap. But now it's improving and at just the right time, albeit perhaps a game or two late. Two wins in a row, capitalising on the rivals dropping points. We as fans can't change the players we have right now so not worth focusing on that (for now). Main thing is backing the team to get over the line, even when we're not playing that well.
-
What do you mean 'happy clapping' though? We got the job done. We got the 3 points. Surely you see that it's the points that matter at this stage of the season? What makes you think fans are 'happy clapping' after a deserved win over Birmingham? Or can you only be supportive and vocal when it's a resounding thrashing? What's the barometer here...?

I thought he was pretty good. How long has he been doing it? He certainly had the knack of commentating like an actual commentator and not straying away from his job to let emotions take over or be over-excited like other commentators.
-
Are you stuck in a different era of football? You're thinking his job is only to save shots. Sorry, but in this tactic and setup, he rightly has more than that as his job. And based on the whole season, he's saved us more points than he's lost. I can only presume you have memory loss and are now only choosing to pounce on him after one mistake. You also don't allude to the fact he's played his part in squeezing the opposition out when he does 'emulate an outfield player' so that we can execute a move that leads to a big chance or better still, a goal.

Forgive us for trying to support the team to get over the line

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
StanSP replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'm guessing Everton will have theirs deducted by a point, and in their best case scenario quashed to 0 points. Apparently they'll appeal based on the fact that they've had two breaches amounting to 8 points deducted, whilst Forest's breaches were 'worse' and only got 4 points. It just smacks more of PL not really knowing what to do with their own rules in their own jurisdiction. As if they're totally out of their depth like @urban.spaceman alluded to. They've made up a set of rules that was meant to 'level the playing field' but in turn it's just complicated matters even more so that when a team has seemingly breached them, they've not been prepared enough to indicate the necessary punishments for the level of such a breach. You'd hope independent regulation outside of the PL will smooth things up. -
Armstrong Rutter Vardy Whittaker Chaplin Not difficult.

Not bothered about the mistake yesterday. Not as much as several others anyway. He's been key to some really good moves and sometimes goals, let alone probably saving us points far more than losing them for us. Some examples below... Not everything will always be perfect. There will be mistakes along the way. Learning from them is the main thing.

There's a Joe Kinnear somewhere.

We did it last Monday!
-
So many players get away with it, more notorious than others.
-
I'd love for referees to get tough from day 1 next season and continue it all the way through for abuse of refs. The amount of abuse they get that gets caught on camera (not that that should matter) is obscene.
-
Sargent?! Is that a joke?!
-
And their youngster Jordan James.
-
Yeah just saw it back. Thought refs were meant to be tough on that. Wood misses a sitter again!
-
Second yellow for Yates for why?
-
Maddison stupid to do that. Remember Dele Allo got sent off off for that in our title season.
-
It was meant to be tomorrow but there were strikes (so would have been worse than today). So moved it today so fans could have access to and from London. But then strikes got cancelled anyway! Getting to Spurs is bad enough on any given day anyway.
-
Arguably a red considering he's flown into that tackle.
-
Idiotic from Wan-Bissaka.
-
Yes I put Winks in initially then realise I had too many players and took him out instead if Ampadu. Arguably Ampadu could still go in at CB instead of Rodon. Simms has only just found form. He was fairly poor first half of the season.
-
Also, if it pans out this way, it's great to have games that mean something at both ends of the table on the final day... Birmingham vs Norwich Coventry vs QPR Ipswich vs Huddersfield Leicester vs Blackburn Plymouth vs Hull (ideally there's nothing riding in our game!).
-
That's the ideal hope isn't it. Same with Hull playing Ipswich in the penultimate weekend. Hull play Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Arguably want Middlesbrough to win so they're closer to the playoffs as they play Ipswich and Leeds in their two games after that.
