adam Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 That's weird, because I'm sure we won four out of six not long ago. no points in cup games unfortunately.
AKCJ Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I'm in tears. That has caught me off guard. Brilliant.
Alf Bentley Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 It is morning in Bangkok After hearing about this reversal of events, I'll be banging my cock in the morning and I'll be thinking of the misery in the souls of the whingeing, short-termist haters while I do so....even if it does just turn out to be a stay of execution. It's morning in Bangkok.....and it's summer in Siam!

Kitchandro Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is literally the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Master Fox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This season's LA MANGA incident. Remember we went and won away at Birmingham when everyone was banged up in prison.
cjslcfc Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Look at the bit in bold. Seems a change of heart going by their story... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/08/nigel-pearson-sacked-leicester-james-mcarthur-incident?CMP=share_btn_tw An extraordinary chain of events at Leicester City on Sunday night culminated in the club issuing a statement to confirm that Nigel Pearson would remain in charge for the game at Arsenal, hours after the manager had been led to believe that he was losing his job. Confusion reigned at the King Power Stadium after reports started to emerge early in the evening that Pearson had been relieved of his duties 24 hours after the 1-0 defeat at home against Crystal Palace – a match in which the Leicester manager had become embroiled in a bizarre touchline incident with James McArthur. It is understood that Pearson thought that he had gone at one point, and other staff at the club also believed that to be the case, only for the 51-year-old to be granted a reprieve later in the day. After four hours of silence, during which the players were totally in the dark as to what was going on, Leicester issued a statement saying that the club “would like to clarify its position relative to its manager” and implied that Pearson’s future had never been in doubt. “Contrary to media speculation on Sunday evening, Nigel remains the club’s first-team manager,” the statement said. “Reports to the contrary are inaccurate and without foundation. Nigel, his staff and the first-team squad are entirely focused on Tuesday night’s trip to Arsenal and our continued efforts to secure our position in the Barclays Premier League.” It was a strange series of events to say the least, almost farcical, and that statement offered little explanation for what had gone on earlier in the day and why it had taken so long to confirm whether Pearson was staying or going. Pearson, make no mistake, had thought his time at the King Power Stadium was up. It is understood that the 51-year-old was summoned to talks on the back of the Palace defeat, which left Leicester anchored to the foot of the table and, following Burnley’s 2-2 draw at home against West Bromwich Albion yesterday, four points adrift of safety. News then started to filter through that Pearson’s second spell in charge at the King Power Stadium had come to an end, with the team’s poor form, allied to that incident with McArthur, in which the manager appeared to have his hands around the Palace midfielder’s neck at one point, prompting the board to decide to make a change. Advertisement While the McArthur flashpoint is unlikely to bring a Football Association charge, it is the second time in the space of a couple of months that Pearson has got into trouble in his technical area – a couple of months ago he was fined £10,000 by the governing body and given a one-match ban after an angry verbal exchange with a Leicester supporter – and it is understood that the board took a dim view of the latest indiscretion. For the moment, it is unclear whether Pearson has the job until the end of the season or if this is simply a stay of execution. Either way, the task of climbing away from the foot of the table looks a thankless one. After facing Arsenal at the Emirates, three of Leicester’s next four league matches see them visit Everton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Pearson is due to face the media to preview the Arsenal game on Mondayafternoon, after training a first-team squad that had started to think that they would be coming under new management. It remains to be seen whether he will shed any light on exactly what went on behind closed doors and why it took the club so long to bring clarity to the situation.
GloverFox Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 ... Half two in the morning and the sacking had really disturbed my nights sleep .....

Danizen Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 The funniest thing I've read over the weekend is, 'Dennis Wise 16/1'.
smudger63 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Having witnessed the grief and one eyed devotion to what can only be described as the cult that is nigel pearson on here last night, i think maybe it's time we had another vote on the name of the football club we all support. Should we remain Leicester City (my prefered option) or should we rename ourselves Nigel Pearson City!
LanguedocFox Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 It seems like Pearson has had the dreaded vote of confidence. He is hanging onto his job by a thread. This story would have never originated if that wasnt the case. Yeah, right. Everything you read/hear/see in the media is true.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I can’t fault most of what his has done. With great support by his employers he has created a fantastic infrastructure and base to build on. To question his ability to cope at the next level means you are a ‘Pearson hater’, this is bizarre and juvenile. It is screamingly obvious that he is out of his depth at the moment, anyone who thinks different is as deluded as he is. Results, most performances, team selection, tactics and signings suggest this. The signing we were all excited about he doesn’t know what to do with and suggest he hopes he reaches his potential. One for the future? I hope he can turn it around as I’m here for life, he may earn my love! I won’t disappear up the M1 and be set for life if relegated. Left it very late but getting a manager in who could make better use of the players doesn’t seem that outrageous.
Guest Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 To question his ability to cope at the next level means you are a ‘Pearson hater’, this is bizarre and juvenile. This is a bit of a popular myth. Criticise by all means. it's the people who have a clear blind hatred of the bloke, even before the current run of form, that aren't welcome and are roundly ridiculed.

Guest Bilo Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 The funniest thing I've read over the weekend is, 'Dennis Wise 16/1'. Same price as Laudrup.
Bettsj2 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 This is a bit of a popular myth. Criticise by all means. it's the people who have a clear blind hatred of the bloke, even before the current run of form, that aren't welcome and are roundly ridiculed. Equally there are people who seem to have loyalty to the man despite any wrong doing or poor form. Last night I was reading posts about people not going anymore in protest, boycotting the club, wearing Pearson masks at the unveiling of the new boss. Bizarre that he has such a split in the fans to such an extreme.
