Ric Flair Live & Direct on BSLB Podcast

[21st Century Fox]

Think Jake worded the physique question perfectly and GTF gave a great answer. Excellent pod as ever.

[BenTheFox]

Thank you for the therapy lads. Keep up the good work.

We might get cancelled if we let Marshy loose 😂😂

Marshy and Ric Swiggin is the spin off we all need right now.

[1884HF]

Great point that there should be protests before and after every game outside the reception, and to mirror and expand on what you said if your leaving games early consistently, if your booing, if you feel detached from your club which thousands of us are then you need to stand up and join the protests, the more of us the better, otherwise if you stand by and continue your silence then you just letting or even aiding this happen

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Brilliant pod as always 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Great pod as ever and honoured to get a mention 😊
 

 

Anyway here’s my song entry to the tune of this is how it feels by inspiral carpets 
 

This is how it feels to be Leicester,

This is how it feels these days,

From champions of England

To compliance case studies and hearings delayed…

 

This is how it feels when PSR’s knocking,

Points deductions in sight,

Checking League One fixtures

On a Tuesday night…

 

This is how it feels when Jon Rudkin

Picks another “perfect fit”,

Wrong gaffer, wrong signings —

How’s he still in charge of it?

 

This is how it feels when Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha

Says “trust us, it’s fine”,

We’re trusting points deductions more

Than a back four line…

 

This is how it feels when King Power

Feels heavier than the crest,

Not power on the pitch —

Just pressure on the chest…

 

This is how it feels, we went “global”,

Sold the soul, rolled the dice,

Hello BC.GAME —

Hope the odds are nice…

 

This is how it feels to be Leicester,

Laughing so we don’t cry,

From miracle to maybe League One…

What a time to be alive.

Btw, idea for the new feature for the pod,

 

Straight outta seagrave, 

 

take on NWA straight outta compton

I got you peeps.

 

You are now about to witness a lack of ball knowledge. 

 

Straight outta Seagrave 

Lazy motherf***er named Ayew 

From the gang of Playaz With Attitude 

When I’m subbed off, I slowly plod off 

Shoot the ball and them daisies get shorn off 

You too boy if you f*** with Vesty 

The staff are gonna hafta come grab the lead 

Of his dog, and take it walkin’ round 

‘Cause my slow Danish friend can’t turn ‘round 

Winksy starts to mumble, “I miss Enzo” 

My man’s cooked from commuting from London 

Goin off for a motherf***er like Faes 
With his arms raised he’s blamin’ yo’ ass 
So give it up dicks 
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a free kick 
Here's a dank rap from yo’ favourite chancer 
With a goal record like a Pointless answer 
2 in 27 is the rule 
'Cause I can’t hit the behind of a mule 
Me you can go toe to toe, so lazily 
I'm trippin’ players in tha box, daily 
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly 
Until them dumb protestors see clearly 
That I'm down with the capital KPFC 
Boy you can't f*** with me 
So when I'm in the first team, it’s dog muck 
Cause Ayew is lazy as f*** 
As I leave, I hear y’all complain 
But when I come back, boy, I'm comin’ straight outta Seagrave 

 

 

 

Bouba is his name, and he’s comin’... 

 

... Straight outta Seagrave 
Is a brotha that'll offer no cover 
And with a blood type of pure butter 

Midfielder, I move like a snail 

And if I ever get caught I just bail 
See, I don't give a f***, that's the problem 
I see an opposition player I just dodge him 
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while 
And when I play a shit pass, I smile 
To me it's kinda funny, the other team see a player reclining 
But don't know where the f*** I’m going, just rollin 
Lookin for the life they call easy 
Take all the cash, they never see me 
Toothless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark 
And when I’m in the team, won’t see me mark or jump without persuasion 
You’ll hear the scream of the fans who saw the last relegation 
Give a little shoulder barge and I'm splittin’ 
But leave a nightmare no one'll be forgettin 
So what about the b*tch who hit a shot? Missed ya! 
You think I give a damn on the pitch? I ain't a sucker! 
This is the autobiography of Soumar.E, and if you ever f*** with me 
You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who won’t cover 
Turd of the midfielders, straight outta Seagrave

Superb 😂

[Glasgowlestah]

Outstanding listening as always. I’m training for my first marathon and listening to the pod on my long runs so keep the longer episodes coming 🤞

We relegate any team and we're damn good. Perfect description of Top and Rudkin.

Agreed, phenomenal 

[BDW-11]

Not listened to all the pod yet, have it on in the car en route to worrk. But, listening to GTF talk about the team spirit and the demands they had for each other, work ethic that they pushed for etc. makes me so sad that we don't have those qualities in any of our players anymore.

 

No togetherness, no standards, not bothered are they not like what we had before. A team you could resonate with is all I have ever wanted, a group you can get behind and this lot are the polar opposite of the Lloyd Dyers, Stevie Howards, GTF's of previous years.

 

But on a positive note - the pod is genuine therapy for me so thanks Ric, Jord and Jake, legends! 👏🏻

We say we want a revolution, well, you know

You don’t wanna change the club

 

You tell us that it's evolution, well, you know

You don’t wanna change J-Rud

 

But when you talk about season ticket renewal

Don't you know that you can count us out?

 

You always think you’ll be… fine

Fine

Fine

 

You say you got a real solution, well, you know

We'd all love to see the plan

 

You ask us for a direct debit, well, you know

We’re not all KPFC fans

 

But if you want money to watch Jordan Ayew play

All we can tell you is you better sign JJ

 

You always think you’ll be… fine

Fine

Fine

 

You say you'll just promote next season, well, you know

You can understand our doubt

You tell us it's the fault of Covid, well, you know

We want King Power out

 

But if you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Top

You'll never realise this has got to stop

 

So is it really gonna be…

The calibre in this thread is extraordinary

[orangecity23]

This was my effort from the next win thread, after Pliskin mentioned free fallin by Tom Petty.

 

He's a good Top, but got fired by his mama
Bankrupted king power too
He's a good Top, crazy about Polo
Loves horses, and Jon Rudkin too

It's a long day, working at Seagrave
Yannicks dog running through the yard
I'm a bad fan, for missing midweek games
And Ayews dived and fell on his arse

And we're free
Free falling
Yeah we're free
Free falling 

We've lost to the team from The Valley
Sad fans walk down Western Boulevard 
All the bad boys are booing Jon Rudkin
And on Facebook, it's breaking Brock's heart

And we're free
Free falling 
Yeah we're free
Free falling 

Gonna glide down, lower than Oxford
King Power out, on a plane in the sky
Gonna liquidate, out into nothing 
Gonna leave this league for a while  

[ClaphamFox]

Listened to about half of the latest one so far. Really enjoyed the interview with Henry Winter, which reinforced the view that many of us have that we have basically fallen victim to the perils of hereditary rule. We had a strong and charismatic leader who died in tragic circumstances, leaving control to his decidedly less charismatic and far less capable son. Dynastic succession is no way to run a business, as the KP group discovered before they booted Top out of the CEO role there. However I also agree with Henry that Top won't walk away given his emotional bond with the place that houses his beloved father's statue and memorial garden.

 

An interesting tidbit on the appeal against the six-point deduction—Henry suggested there was a 'bit of tit-for-tat' going on there, which did not surprise me at all as I suspected it at the time. However it wasn't clear who he thinks is doing the titting and who is doing the tatting...

Incredible work once again @Anonymous F.O.X.  

 

Credit to @splinterdream for the suggestion as well.

 

Also - can we make it a new bit to have Ric's answer to the Dear Ric just to be "Get f***ing annihilated and worry about the rest later" every week, no matter the question?
