    Where's the fun in that?

    You take the rough with the smooth when it comes to football.

    Skylarker is the same. When Liverpool were dogshit 6 months ago he was still here. I just don't really have time for people like HIAB who can give it but can't take it.

    Yeah to be fair the miserable years we endured beforehand were worse.

    Losing at home and then having to listen to Hollowhead have a jolly with the press. Fell out of love with football for a while. League One was actually great. We played good football and won 2/3/4-0 every week.

    It was the same at Saints. The two years before relegation to League 1 were among the darkest in the entire history of the club. Playing ****e football with ****e players players on the brink of financial ruin. The following two years in league 1 were a very refreshing change and it was strange to be the 'big guns' with the highest wages and transfer fees with the marquee players winning regularly, despite the general standard of the league itself.

    It's mad when you think of the team Saints had during our stay in league 1. Fonte, Lallana, Chamberlain, Lambert, Hammond (who went on to play for yourselves after Saints and was a handy player), Puncheon and Schneiderlin.

    Were you cheering on Spurs, Fosse? It could've got a **** of a lot worse for you if West Ham had won. I bet your heart was in your mouth right to the end, mate.

    Yep, by a large margin too.

    No shame in handing your crown over to Chelsea or City.

    Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for Leicester...

    It's not the only thing from Leicester being labelled "a disgrace" tbf. Having said that, it's typical British press - build something up only to rip it apart later.

    Is it fair to call Vardy a one season wonder?


    Yes it is.

    Funny thing is though in that one season as a player he won a premier league title, which is more than what spuds as a club have achieved in more than half a century lolz
