Re: Supporters Player of the Season

I think Bond's mistakes have proved far more costly.

Al Habsi for me. Won us more points than he's lost and comes across as one of the few players who actually give a shit.

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

Has he fallen off the wagon?

Never paid any attention to him since he made a ham fisted attempt to sound intelligent by comparing having a gambling problem with going to the hairdressers.

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

The other advantage that Leicester may have is that instead of just having a good season and finishing 6th or 7th with a couple of outstanding players they've made the Champions League whilst at least 2 of the really big spenders haven't. Hopefully it will mean that, along with the TV money, they'v...

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

The thing is, just like our 106 season, it's all about the mix of personalities and the team. I can't see many of them making that big a name for themselves in any other set up apart from maybe Kante and Mahrez. I think the key is Ranieri. Not only is he an excellent coach but he takes a lot of pres...

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

Considering Leicester's actions forced through a change in the rules regarding clubs going into administration, I'd suggest it's very reasonable to hate the player. Anyway, the rules have changed to prevent a club from doing it again and they are now showing that there is another way other to be suc...

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

But Leicester's administration was down to spending big in the Premiership, getting relegated but maintaining their Premiership squad and wage bill. There was no 10 point deduction at the time so they went into administration, wrote of the debts on stadium construction and used the money to maintain...

..and the big spenders will continue spaffing ridiculous amounts of money for ever diminishing returns and modern football could indeed end up eating itself.

Re: Are Leicester genuine title contenders?

It does stick in the craw a bit that they basically got their new stadium for free by mugging off their creditors but in the current circumstances, I'm prepared to overlook that for a season. Of course,the other irony is that with Leicester and Spurs all but guaranteed first and second and West Ham ...

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

The thing with Hillsborough is that the contempt shown towards supporters by the government, police, FA and clubs at the time was such that just about every active supporter had a "That could have been me at...." story and that is why it united all supporters in shock and condemnation of w...

Re: Back from the game - Palace

The whole Pardew thing is getting really boring now. It's not like he's done a McGhee and ramped up the antagonism prior to any games, he's always been respectful on his return and I think he knows he warrants some abuse and has taken it in good humour. I reckon he genuinely has a lot of respect and...

Re: Back from the game - Palace

Tells you all you need to know that in a game of very few clear cut chances for either team, the keeper from the losing side wins Man of the Match. Not a great advert for the beautiful game. Al Habsi, a couple of excellent saves and a few Hollywood saves but deservedly Man of the Match A solid enoug...

Re: FA Cup Quarter-Final MATCH THREAD: Crystal Palace (H)

Palace are just a yard quicker and a touch more incisive, without being overly threatening. We are showing very little going forward which is no surprise given our lineup.

Cue us having our best spell of the game so far.

Re: The Zenith Data Systems Cup

It's easy to forget that Luton won the League Cup a couple of weeks later, and I think they also made the semi finals of the FA Cup. They were a good side and fielded a near first choice team. Others are right, despite being a Mickey Mouse Cup, for a club of our stature as it was then, it was a huge...

Re: The Zenith Data Systems Cup

I was one of the few who bothered going to a near deserted Loftus Road for the 1st round game. I remember walking out after the 3-1 win and thinking what it would be like to get to Wembley and win the cup, before dismissing the idea as ridiculous. I was there as well. I have some misguided memory o...
