Plenty of those Inflicting W*se upon us Replacing Lennon with Junior Lewis Replacing Cottee with Benjamin Alienating quality like Collymore Allowing Guppy to leave Signing Lee Marshall Pursuing Akinbiyi for ridiculous money Wycombe Bolton 13 straight away defeats 3-0 at home to Palace in the League Cup Losing those three home matches against utter shite in April 2001 8 consecutive defeats Being beaten twice by a fvcking awful Coventry team Losing at home to Bradford who finished bottom 12 years should cover it- the time it took for us to recover. 2 3
StanSP Posted 4 May 2020 Posted 4 May 2020 Just catching up on the MOTD from the weekend, where Keown picked his top 3 games. Can understand the first 2 but I was surprised he picked the Chelsea 2-2 Spurs game. I get we were one of his former clubs but for all the success he had with Arsenal I'm surprised all 3 games weren't from his time there.

Well seeing as it’s the game spurs fans least want to see, I can understand why he picked it 2
Hollyfox Posted 4 May 2020 Posted 4 May 2020 Liverpool have been been the best by along way but the rest of the leagues 'top' sides have been poor. City have been poor and very beatable by the standards they've set in recent seasons. United and Chelsea have shown improvement but are in transition. Arsenal a shambles and Spurs have been a mess since last seasons CL final. Us, Sheff United and Wolves have been really good but not enough to challenge the very top. The scousers have benefited from a less competitive league than when we won it, imo 1

Chelsea and spurs was a thrilling game even without what was at stake. It was gonna feature at some stage. Leicester's story was never going to be glossed over.Especially not with Lineker.

Its been 2 games they played in and another one they just liked. Unless you mean any Arsenal game he wasn't involved in? Edited 4 May 2020 by Super_horns

They always pick a game they weren't involved in, it part the show. He was probably encouraged to go with that one, with them screening it on the 4th anniversary. 1

Unless you mean any Arsenal game he wasn't involved in? I'd have thought they'd be encouraged to pick a game involving teams they didn't play for, or it could get a bit samey, especially someone like Keown who spent so long at one club. You'd end up with 3 Arsenal games most likely. 1
Ric Flair Posted 5 May 2020 Posted 5 May 2020 17 hours ago, Webbo said: O'Neal only managed Collymore for about 6 games, with his injury and O' Neal leaving. Nobody can be certain that the relationship wouldn't have broken down if it had lasted longer. Collymore had a history of trouble even then. You might well be right, there's certainly no guarantee that O'Neill would have been the one to nurture him through his troubled spell but Collymore has gone on record a number of times to say O'Neill was unbelievable for him and one of the best, if not the best manager he's ever had. O'Neill also wouldn't have caused as much chaos and change had he stayed like Taylor did so it was the perfect platform for Collymore to become an influential player for us, Heskey had gone and the players we were being linked with before O'Neill left to join Celtic were of a much higher calibre than Ade Akinbiyi and Trevor Benjamin. Still to this day I've not seen a more complete striker on his day than Stan Collymore in this country. He was the English Adriano, his pace and power and technique was astonishing.

I'm not denying that Collymore was a brilliant player and Taylor was a crap manager. Just in this case it wasn't necessarily Taylor's fault. God knows we've got enough else to slag him off for.

Like he immediately wanted Cottee and Walsh out as well. He had his own ideas, which managers are entitled to but when things go as badly wrong as they did for Taylor then he deserves to be criticized for the decision making. He also didn't rate Steve Guppy either, it was all very bizarre.

Yes Posted 5 May 2020 Posted 5 May 2020 don’t know what we did to the Nigerians but they really don’t like us “For me it is a good move, what I always pray and wish for him is to sign for a big club not Leicester, his football has passed Leicester, I have been preaching this for the past few years.” 1

Bet he didn’t know who he was until we signed him from Genk, 3 years ago. It makes me laugh the way we’re spoken about. Mahrez ‘wasted 2 years’ here but he would have been wasting his career in Ligue 2 against ranchers and farmhands if we hadn’t have signed him 2

He couldn't pass a football or barely pick a correct outlet option with any consistency until Brendan Rodgers began coaching him. 4

Premier League clubs are beginning to recall players to training grounds, while maintaining social distancing guidelines, including Arsenal and Tottenham. Players with families abroad were allowed to spend part of the lockdown back home but are now returning to these shores, with clubs reporting giving out 48-hour notices to travel back. Fuchs is among them, having spent time with the Fox Soccer Academy in New York and training with his family and pets. Ahead of jumping on his flight, Fuchs posted a video of an eriee-looking JFK airport. Premier League clubs will again meet on Friday to further discuss options to conclude the season, with neutral venues being considered. Leicester City's King Power Stadium is reportedly one of eight stadiums in the frame to host matches https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/jfk-airport-empty-premier-league-project-restart-a4431006.html The passengers are all hiding behind the columns in case Fuchs takes a throw in.... 3

Sounds like a pished up glory hunter from down the pub Think he’s a former international but a former coach of theirs said the same thing about Ndidi, serious mentality problem when your coaches think you should go from a side 3rd in the league to play for just any big club, weird glory supporter logic.

Very sad to see anyone limited by mental illness, especially when you can clearly see what could have been. My god if we had kept O'Neil and Heskey... 1
