Despite them both absolutely hating being here, this is true. 

IF Harry is staying we have to get him onside, he came on for a few mins last week, and just added a level of calmness and quality to the proceedings and I have to say he looked bothered on the pitch, he had one great run near the end to keep possession, when thats what we needed, he's top level at this level.

Skipp is shocking and Soumare plays in fits and starts (more fits) but has no "football sense"

A player of Winks quality would be a major negative if in the squad and not playing IF here till the end of the season.

Is it just me who thinks that Birmingham have been a bit hypey, spent their way out of League One and have actually started a bit slowly? They'll have depth to do well this season, but that number of players probably won't know each other yet and playing them early in the season might be for the best. 

 

I think we'll huff and puff a bit due to a complete absence of viable attacking options, but I don't think they'll bum us as suggested.

I mean no one is in for him in the next 3 days let's be honest, the links were agent work off the back of him not starting games at the start of the season.

8-0 win to the fabulous foxes.

 

Some of you bed wetters need to do a little something called "backing the lads"

[EnderbyFox]

Got an idea to get our Harry back on side, chant as follows; 

 

Harry, Harry winks

 

To the tune of Danny, Danny ward

Big old media darling Birmingham vs an in turmoil Leicester- that’s the story - what a load of crap - 11 v 11 - Birmingham are bang average - this league is cr*p - no excuses not to win the game - just find a way to win and repeat

Yeah, but, but, but, they might overrun us in midfield 

Or, we could make some noise and make Monga, Page, Stolly, Fatawu and Mavadidi feel about 10 feet tall.

 

I don't doubt this one might be tight / difficult, but isn't a competition what people want from football. Let's give it some rather then whine that it might be a bit difficult. 

Basically you are saying GERRINTOEMFECKEMUP

Everyone said a decent draw on the opening day against Ipswich but Ipswich haven't been great yet (who loses at Preston!?) and other than that beat two sides who will be in a relegation battle at the end of the season.

 

Be interesting how they are against us tonight. We're not great but it's their first "tough" away game on paper.

 

To achieve 111 points in a season is superb at any level, I'm not knocking that, but they paid £15m (I think it was) for Stansfield. That sort of money in the third division is staggering. They should have won the league spending that amount on one player alone.

[Quorndon_Fox]

As much as I hate the way this club is being ran at the moment the Birmingham owners are probably the most cringe c***s ive ever watched. Tom Brady comes across as a right dickhead on the doc. The absolute opposite of Rob and Ryan at Wrexham.

 

 

[TheGoldenGod]

I'm more pessimistic about the result today than others it seems. We'll have no chance if we start as slowly as the last 3 games. Any danger of a rocket up the arse from minute one?

He comes across like a right dickhead because he is, basically, a right dickhead.

Not to add, he's also handsome, wealthy and American and is, by all accounts, a bit of a fan of the NFL. Which never helps either. 

[lgfualol]

Hate Birmingham and Wrexham, please shit on them. 

 

Think we’ll get a pasting though and Faes and Winks will join the Birmingham players in celebration when they score their 4th

His veneer has been shattered so many times, and yet it never sticks for long. Leaving his partner while she was pregnant, shilling shady health supplements, plus every scandal surrounding his team in his playing days. Somehow he’s currently a part owner of an NFL team, while earning nearly $40 million annually as a match commentator. Wrexham may be popular to dislike, but Rob is a far more normal human and a passionate fan of his teams, not the robotic personality always looking for an angle.

I'd take Rob over Brady a million times.

 

Let's be real, IF (big if) Wrexham got promoted to the prem, they'd probably be the most likeable owners. No dodgy state sponsored sportswashing, asset stripping, dildo brothers nonsense. 

[OntarioFox]

Yeah you know what, let's twat these please

we always back the lads through the good times and the bad

We’ll twat these. 3-0. Phil

[CosbehFox]

I know it’s more nuanced but I do laugh at LCFC fans whom have issues with PSR yet think Brum & Wrexham are hated

They have 7/9 with the draw coming against the favourites for the division. The hype is justified given they broke the EFL points record too

[Raj]

We should be fecking these over good and proper.

We are Leicester ffs.

 

 

0-1!

Big question is why have we not got any bodies through the door before this

Wonder if Cifuentes is proving to be easy to palm off on this, let's see how his demeanour changes over the coming months.
