But according to your location profile, no alarms and no surprises.

But my car has an alarm so it's alright to have at least one surprise in it.

Pundits can go and do one, MERSON , supporting his playing buddy Pearson as the only one to be able to get us out of a mess, and says most neutral fans want city to be relagated, CARRAGHER having a verbal battle with danny simpson on his own medal winning , LE TISSIER taking it upon himself to speak for 95% of Leicester fans and saying they wanted Ranieri to stay , SAVAGE now jumps down the throats of any city fans who speak on his shows. OWEN, SHEARER, the list goes on and on, to many are supporting the clubs they played for rather than being neutral and giving a fair reflection, The world and his dog wants to talk us down at the moment. 

Merson could hardly contain himself when Hull scored. He let out a childish wimpering noise but it clearly delighted him.

Why are these idiots who butcher the English language given air time?

Him, Nicholas and to a lesser extent Phil Thompson are appalling.

Merson definitely has it in for us though. His begrudging praise of Fuchs goal ("not used to seeing good football from Leicester") was an insult. Who the fvck does he think he is? Twat.

I thought Graeme Souness was the dourest, sourest and most stubborn of them last season, but granted, I didn't see much of Sutton.

Souness was one of the few who said it was the correct decision to relieve Ranieri of his duties just after it happened in all fairness.

Though he may have done that just to swim against the tide as he clearly loves both arguments and himself.

I don't really understand why these ex-player pundits are even allowed to collar so many media football jobs given that I doubt they have any journalistic qualifications.

 

Presumably it's for their specialist "expertise" but most serve to bring the very term "expertise" into disrepute.

 

You don't ever see a fan as a pundit. For me it's just football protecting itself and keeping comment in house. 

 

One day there'll be a big investigation into the running of football and not before time. And I hope it includes the collective crucifying of our club with absolutely no justification or damningly defensible evidence I've ever seen.

 

It's time television got some genuinely independent commentators. You don't have to be a footballer to understand football any more than a somelier to comment on wine or a highways expert to debate the frustrations of traffic chaos.   

 

   

Sky were running out of Scottish female football reporters to employ and started recruiting ex players.

No real fan ever buys a half and half scarf a pure give away. This is what $ky and the media whores want to do. If I were the owners I would ban all media from the KP for the rest of the season the backstabbing *****.

The mass media have long ago stopped reporting the "truth" or giving a fair balanced two sides of a situation.  This applies to sport as well as to politics.  They present lies as truth and one side of an opinion as the only side.  Beneath contempt most of them.

I think in our case it's less a case of lies (though that is in effect what they are when people spout non-truths) and more a case of lots of people with misguided personal opinions.

Fvucking clueless.

 

Wonder if they get on board with the rebirth of the soul of football, I very much doubt it.

 

Bunch of c@cks last year when they were bum licking, bunch of c@cks this year when we were struggling and they will be a bunch of c@cks now we have seemed to have turned the corner.

 

Ultimate fvck you from the players, the club and the fans this week.

 

We are not so fickle always be fans, you will always be c@cks

Thought Ian Wright of all of the so called expert pundits last season was reasonable to us particularly in his support of Vardy on the 606 shows. Overall the press and pundit pack really didn't like what happened last season with us upsetting the big boys. They were choking on their predictions for us to go down and taking them away from their myopic tributes and news time for the so-called "top 4" . You can add Spurs too (as the top 5) to that lot given many believed that they would be their saviours and would overhaul us in last season run-in. How satisfying that was to pull 10 points clear of them last season.

 

This season you can tell they have been waiting for us to take a fall and have been ultra quick in sticking their boots in regarding the Ranieri sacking. They hadn't suffered the absolute dross served up over December, January and February in the league and our slide down the table. 

 

Maybe now with Craig Shakespeare, not the sort of guy who is easy to dig,their view may change so it will be interesting to see what happens.

 

What I would really love is for us to knock out Seville and Arsenal and Man City to crash out meaning we are the only Prem team left in the Champions League! What then boys?

It can't be argued that Jeff Stelling is the best person for the Soccer Saturday role on Sky Sports.

He knows how and when to be funny, serious etc but also possesses a caring and respectful attitude towards the panel he's with and other match commentators from across the leagues.

Just happened upon the BT Sport lynch mob all still banging the same "shameful Leicester players got lovely Claudio sacked" drum.

 

What is the matter with these people? Why doesn't even one of them have the courage or intelligence to engage his brain and even entertain the possibility that our sudden resurgence since Ranieri was dismissed might have had something to do with the fact that the manager himself was the problem.

 

And to think that these numbskulls actually get paid for ignoring the evidence and pedalling this biased, bandwagon-jumping, agenda-driving bullcrap.

 

For the sake of justice I hope none of them ever gets to serve on a jury in a court of law.

Very funny Chris Sutton. State of our pundits 

 

 

What an opinionated arsehole he is. Imagine finding yourself sat next to him on a long-haul flight... or Merson, Carragher, Owen,Savage or any of that rabble...

Hypocritical arse wipe. He was one of the pundits calling for Ranieri to go.

 

Shit pundit, shit failed football manager, just a big shit really.

The irony is of course not a single one of these players has had a similar situation when the faith is lost in the manager. 

 

Neill Collins, ex Wolves has wrote a good blog about the players getting the blame and he's pointed out most of these ex Pro's are hypocritical, in fact a lot of it stems from bitterness that an 'average player' has out trumped on success.

No he shouldn't be called that. Unfortunately, people listen to these moronic, baseless opinions and take it as gospel. We've got no idea how much Shakespeare was doing behind the scenes or how he was going about his work and to call him a snake, questioning his motives and his practices, is an absolute disgrace.
