Some of his flat gags since that that have gone viral have been superb in all

Charlie Nicholas' end-of-season Premier League grades

Leicester - B

At the start of the season, you'd say if Brendan Rodgers could get Leicester into Europe he'd be sitting there thinking that's pretty good. Jamie Vardy obviously got his award, but in general terms, I thought Leicester deserved to get into the top four. But football's cruel at this level.

Jamie Vardy wins Premier League Golden Boot

Leicester 0-2 Manchester United - Match report and highlights

Before the lockdown, you could see they were questioning themselves, James Maddison went off the boil, Vardy wasn't getting the supply, and I think when I break down the defence he had, he deserves a lot of credit for his style. I like it a lot.

But he does get lucky most of the time with injuries - but on the last day it pinpointed to me with Wes Morgan coming in, he's hardly used any defenders. Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira get injured and they suddenly look all over the place. Have they got enough? The fact of the matter was, Leicester's squad has been too small.

But overall, for the season people might say they blew the top four. I never anticipated them being there. I thought they had a chance of the top six or seven, but fifth is a very good finish. It's their own fault, they blew it, but if you said to them if they'd be happy with finishing fifth next season, I think they'd take it again.

 

 

What grade does YOUR Premier League club get this term?

LEICESTER
First half of season: A+. Second half of season: C at best. They missed out on Champions League football on the season's final day and that will hurt. But the Europa League is not a bad consolation prize.

Grade: A-

I'm pleased he didn't veer from his standard phrase....

Intellectually subnormal Glaswegians involved in football but with an eye for the ladies are a comedy staple up here.

 

The comedy show Only An Excuse had a long running Frank McAvennie sketch.  It's painful to watch now because it feels like bullying...

We're getting bantered off by United fans all over social media. I mean, I dont really care tbh but we deserve the stick we are getting.

Oh no. Life cannot go on.

United fans back a manager who supported a rapist the horrible little weasels

It’s great. We matter. Little old Leicester City shook up the footballing world again. It’s respect in a way. 

[Guest Manini]

I stopped giving a shit about what United fans said when I realised, they are all, to a man, *****. I’ve never met a sound manc and I’ve never met a sound united fan.

Mancs are usually pretty sound.

Problem is the vast majority of Man Utd fans live in Kent or Cornwall and are glory hunting ***** in my experience.

Agreed about united fans. 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Mancs in my experience can be sound, but they can also be pretentious and cynical.

 

Man Utd fans don't necessarily mean Mancs of course 😆

In comparison..Spurs fans are our best mates....The mind boggles..

Awarning and message to all moaners on foxestalk....

Is that your ambition,to be like Manutd  > Entitled Shallow pricks <...

Harry Maguire’s brother getting involved as well.

 

Said it yesterday, any United fan who’s team spent over 200m on their first XI saying anything about creeping into CL spots looks like this:

 

 

Paraphrased, they’re sad glory hunters.

 

They’ll get pasted in the Champions League and this season was a false dawn. Their squad looks like an imbalanced patchwork quilt and their manager is fvcking naive. Worst United team in my lifetime. Don’t care what that says about us.

[Harry96]

Will be funny watching maguire come up against Mbappe, Neymar Messi etc if they get past the group stages that is. 

[urban.spaceman]

I hate Manchester United there I said it.

[HybridFox]

let them believe the hype next season. might just be their downfall

[Spudulike]

They were nervous before Sundays match. Neville admitted and reaffirmed it during the second half before they got the penalty. Who'd have thought it? The mighty ManU scared about playing against a depleted Leicester City. The times they are a-changin'. Lovin' it.

Yeah I mean there are obviously good lads and girls that come from there I was making a sweeping statement. A few I have met can be a proper set of patronising bastards when they want to be though - certainly some sort of complex about them based on the city they come from. 
 

Stick by my comment on united fans though they are all scum.

I don't think they were particularly worried about us as opponents, more just what was at stake, knowledge that Chelsea were winning and that at 65mins it was still in the balance, with us arguably the better side. 

[Nalis]

The fact they are making derogatory comments about us and arguing about how they are better than you, as opposed to a patronising pat on the head when they beat us, just shows how far we've come.

[UniFox21]

Maguire's brother is a proper weirdo, mocking the club that took his brother from a relegated prem player to an England regular and now a United player. Makes no sense. 

[Legend_in_blue]

Garth Crooks has Maguire in his team of the year. 

 

At least Vardy made it in.

Very well put. 
 

None of this ‘you played well’ nonsense
