I see the programmes, flags and clappers are working their way onto eBay now. Best one I saw so far is someone has printed off the photo took by one of the press, framed it and stuck it on Ebay for £40

He can finally hook up with Preki. It was all written in the stars.

Was really hoping they were retiring the #9. Wonder why they decided not to.

Damned if they do or don't in this case though. If they didn't mention anything or do anything to acknowledge it people would be kicking up a fuss. All they are saying here is their mid fan zone will be open, the shop is open, you will get a flag and to stay after the game. Hardly forced fun to have the players do a lap at the end of the season, this is just the same but will have something for Vards.

Went into the game thinking we didn't really stand much of a chance to be honest, but if you don't buy a ticket... Hoped for the best and kept the usual supersticious routines. When Tielemans scored, I can't remember much. I was off the sofa and next thing I remember I was in the kitchen . Same happened the night Hazard scored for Chelsea, only difference was that I scared the F out the cat and she didn't come home for a day. Chillwell boiled my piss with his celebration. I was so happy once it was twigged as offside. It's always the same with VAR. It's shite when it goes against you or wastes time in a game, but when it goes for you it's the best thing ever. And then the following season on the same day we were getting stuffed 3-0 by Liverpool at home on our way to relegation with Dean Smith trying to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.

I would be surprised if he did play. Only way I think he would is if he didn't score on Sunday. Then again, with Ruud, it is 50/50 he picks him for Sunday.

Wasn't it around this time last year he released that random statement that the ref was a fan of the other team? That statement is something up there that Trump would have his guys write. Hope Chelsea or Villa get that 5th Champions league spot. Let them play in the Europa farmers league and watch him soon get bored and sell up or crash the gaff

The fact Danny Ward is not on this shortlist is a goddamn tragedy

Chindits rings a bell. Thanks for that

My great grandad on my mums side was in the royal navy and served on the HMS Glenroy on D-Day, which I was able to see delivered soldiers to Gold Beach for sure on the day. My grandma says she remembers him telling stories of having the yanks onboard and them turning their hammocks inside out. He recalled everything from his navy days even after his mind started to go, even to the point of remembering that on D-Day they had to be towed back to Portsmouth as they hit a mine. I did some digging and found out that apparently a torpedo may have missed the front of the ship by a few feet and could have changed our family history entirely. My grandma was born 4 days after VE day. My mum said apparently my great grandma was slightly annoyed at that as she would have got a free pram if it was on VE day itself. I believe I have the telegram that was sent to my great grandad letting him know his first child had been done. I 100% have a photo of it, along with a lot more of his navy day stuff. My dads side is harder to trace as my dad was the youngest of by some distance in his family. My cousins are 20 odd years older than me because of it, so they died when I was still rather young. My dad says one of his uncles was deployed to Asia, dropped behind enemy lines in the jungle and told to just disrupt and cause havoc as much as they could. I can't remember the name for them.

Why?

I forgot we were playing until the club text me asking me to buy tickets. Tomorrow I may watch the Championship. 2 doors down is a Derby fan and his little snotnose kids were screaming with delight in the garden the other day. I want to hear them cry tomorrow when all the results go against them. Apart from that, F1 is warning up nicely and I am sure my wife will find something I have forgot to do for the past 6 months that needs doing.

He did it according to the BBC

Leo and Shinji benched for Youri. Like it.

Wrexham will go for him for the name and the revenue from shirt sales only. It will be the enterance into that Hollywood story BS and make a good episode of Welcome to Wrexham. It wouldn't be for footballing resons though. He may get a sub in a game, but they will not bounce into the Championship and be in the top 6 like Mac probably thinks they will. 18 in the Championship 2 seasons ago doesn't mean he will get 18 this season. If he wants football, Wrexham isn't the place to go. Would love to see him go back Fleetwood, but I know it will be Wrexham or Birmingham as they will throw money at the wall for him.

"Opposition fans, naturally, are somewhat less enamoured with our No.9. His 148 goals for us have come against 48 different clubs, at home and abroad, and he’s always let them know. " Proof reading not part of Sam at LCFC's job I see. https://www.lcfc.com/pages/en/media-article/jamie-vardy-speaks-leaving-leicester-city-lcfc-striker-premier-league-goat

I await the abuse, but retire the number 9 shirt after him. I really, really hope he doesn't go Wrexham.

After all the complants about ticket prices at the start of the season and believing they could get away with it, it was good to see that even with tourists in the home end and playing the champions elect, there was still swathes of empty seats. People eventually paid PL prices for Championship football last season as we were winning. It shouldn't be near £100 to take me and daughter to a match. People are struggling to pay their energy bills or make ends meet and to watch their team it is either pay through nose for tickets, pay crazy prices for Sky Sports or know how to/know a guy who can help set up IPTV. But at least the last 2 games are cat C and its only £69 for me and my daughter to go.

From previous experience we are all running a fools errand looking at people we have heard of. Has anyone checked the Ukrainian 3rd division to see if any of their coaches are looking for a new challenge?

Personally it's not have my weekends ruined any more. If we all of a sudden went on a winning streak it would probably piss me off more. Would like to see Vardy make 200 though.

It was Corbyn. It was a policy to throw at the wall in the hope to win votes. Same as when Richi promised National Service to get a few more from the right on his side. Either way. I am prepared for this thread.

Leicester were relegated last weekend after their 1-0 loss to Liverpool, with the Foxes having suffered 16 defeats across 20 league games since Van Nistelrooy was appointed manager in late November 2024. And the dire situation at the club has forced bosses to compile a list of potential replacements for Van Nistelrooy, with Sky Sports reporting that former interim England manager Lee Carsley is a possible candidate alongside Danny Rohl and former Southampton boss Russell Martin. It is believed that Van Nistelrooy will likely remain in charge until the end of the season, though there are doubts as to whether either side wants to continue after the end of the season. In addition, any pay-off made to the 48-year-old in the event of his sacking could cause Leicester difficulty in meeting their PSR obligations for the current financial year, with the club having sacked Steve Cooper and his staff in November. At the same time, it is believed that the Dutchman is reluctant to walk away from the club having signed a deal that runs until 2027. Reflecting on the season, Jamie Vardy has labelled the situation a “total embarrassment”, with Leicester having lost 12 of their last 14 matches in all competitions. The loss to the Reds also meant that Leicester became the first team in top-flight history to go nine consecutive home league games without scoring. “No words I have can ever express my feelings of anger and sadness with the way this season has gone. There are no excuses,” said Vardy, "Collectively, as players and as a club, we failed. There is simply no hiding, and I refuse to entertain any suggestion of doing so. "Having been at this club for so long, we've experienced so many highs and successes, and this season has been nothing but miserable, and for me personally, a total embarrassment. It hurts, and I know you're feeling it too. “To the fans: I'm sorry.”
