Imagine getting a stadium ban for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. 😂😂

 

What makes me laugh is our end wasn’t even that lively, but he was clearly getting wound up by us. Ran the whole length of the pitch and managed to get to us for quite a few seconds before security tackled him to the ground. If he was a braver boy, he could’ve easily jumped over and started swinging. 

Highlight of the game!!

What a complete d1ck!

This is why we should follow Qatar and ban alcohol  from stadiums!!!

This kid will be in tears today when he realises what a tw@t he made himself look!

[Raj]

I liked the ground and the amenities around it.

Our fans must have been dumbfounded by the return of football as it was luke a morgue 

[TJQuik]

I'd absolutely love to see us win this again at some point. If we did, hypothetically, would that finally go some way to stop us being reduced to a mid table footnote accompanied by West Ham and Wolves?

Naa, it was a run of a mill fixture versus a team which barely threatened. In a city which has no history, no heritage and perversely no grit. 
 

When you say amenities; you mean the restaurants and cinema right? Because even those for me could have been positioned in any city on any retail park.
 

It’s not like when you go to the north west where you can get a good pie and chips from an independent chippy or you go Newcastle and you have all the same restaurants but with a buzz that an actual football game. You have something which attaches to where you are in the country and with a local pride too. 
 

When I visit a football ground, they all need a sense of location. Something unique, something tangible to make it rememberable. As nice and shiny as it is, Stadium MK has none of that. The city itself you have to visit the villages it swallowed up to find a pub which isn’t a harvester or a Wetherspoons. 
 

Sorry Raj, seems like I’m having a go at you here but just forwarding my dislike of the ground they have. I’ve done 91 out of the 92 and a trip to MK would rank in the bottom ten for me.

Great ground, as good as any in the premier, good job done last night.

What would you rank as best you e been?

And how low would you rank our own generic bowl in a lifeless area where you can buy used cars but nothing else nearby except Morrisons, two non independent pubs and a half hearted "hotel"!!

Spot on. Bizarrely the closest thing we have in Leicester/Leicestershire to Milton Keynes is Beaumont Leys. Similar planning periods and concepts, as Beaumont Leys was initially going to be a non-descript town of 40,000(much smaller than Milton Keynes of course). There’s a reason the plans were shelved.

 

I wish to cause no offence to anyone from or living in Beaumont Leys. But I think you’ll agree that plans to move the football club in 77/78 to the area, were thankfully left.

Our stadium isn’t great. But it’s middle of the pack as you can take a train and get to a city centre within 15 to 20 minute walk. 
 

As a pure stadium, Spurs is the best but the transport links are the worst in London by far.
 

Newcastle is probably the best combo of the two. Fulham, the Sheffield clubs, Villa score high for me. 
 

L1/L2 - Charlton, Pboro, Orient and Wimbledon’s new one I’d rate

I literally described it as that last night to my mates.
 

Having gone Boggie Fleas School, those underpass walkways last night brought back the memories

Yeah underpasses are a great example of idealistic town planning done by those who have and never will live in the areas they are put in. 

[FoxinNotts]

would love to win this.

Complete the domestic collection, within a decade.

Vardy, Amartey and Albrighton to complete the domestic quadruple with the foxes.

It would actually put us one major honour above Forest too! 

[Ric Flair]

Got to give Rodgers plenty of praise for bringing Alves and McAteer on last night, could have been easy to think more established 1st team players needed minutes such as Ndidi and Mendy but it will have done Alves and McAteer a world of good.

In which case why did they pay money to the club they think is a stain on the game?

 

Make a protest? Make a proper fvcking protest by withholding your money. Anything else is complete bullshit.
 

This is up there with waving signs asking for shirts. It’s all kinds of embarrassing.

How dare you call out UFS on here?

 

So glad someone said it.

This is a nice idea and the right sentiment but given the fact we sold out (as we did in 2009, albeit a smaller allocation), conducting a boycott of any size in order to actually be noticed is pretty much impossible. 
 

Calling lads embarrassing for directly airing their views on this in the stadium is very much ‘…yet you participate in society, I am very intelligent’ meme vibes.

Fyi, ikea cafe was not a prematch boozer no beer and it was like a school or prison cafe, (meatballs were OK but wtf was I  supposed to use lingonberry jam with)

Someone needs to stick a pub on the corner of that estate. Would make a killing

Good professional win, I wonder whether playing away helped as Wolves and Southampton struggled.

[JonnyBoy]

First away game in years (I’m a sh1t fan) and it is very noticeable now sh*t the atmosphere was v the championship days. Maybe there was a lot of new fans with tickets or something but it was dire. Even the left side/right side chant was rubish - nothing like the left side ride side chant at white hart lane v spurs in the cup a few years back that was magical

Braybrooke injured, can only assume so as I was under the impression he was going to be starting?
