    No it means I'm fed up of seeing bandwagon jumpers talking about things they know little about, stating it as fact to slag off my club :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Maybe because Ranieri told them nott to press and Shakespeare told them to go back to what they were good at last season. Just saying like

    I've seen it mentioned in a number of places mate.
    Obviously wasting my time as most people have decided just because Claudio was all cuddly and lovely in camera that he can't possibly have contributed in any way to what's happened. Clearly all the fault of the players, owners, fans and everyone but claudio

    I know what you mean, that pleb @AKCJ is the same. You know, he virtually lived on our board last season. You boys will get pelters when you have clueless mugs like him talking bollocks about other teams.

    That's the way the cookie crumbles in this jungle.

    ^^Translation: All those meanies on the PL board are being horrible about my team when we were the darlings last year. It's not fair <wah><wah>



    Have a word mush, I'm not a 'bandwagon jumper' just calling a spade a spade. Did the same with Chelsea last year.

    For the record, I'm not slagging off your club, got nothing against Leicester at all. Just the players have behaved disgracefully that's all.

    Yeah the man who won you the league, with the greatest achievement in the modern era, told Vardy to stop running <doh>

    Ok genuine question the . Let's say you are right and they 'downed tools'. Has anyone asked why? Why would they after last year. I expect it'd come back to what I'm saying that Ranieri changed too much and they became void of confidence. I'm guessing your reply will just be that they're ****s

    No in seriousness, you're making a mistake and assuming that everyone thinks Claudio wasn't at fault.

    That's clearly not the case, of course he had made mistakes this season but instead of sticking with him and trying to fight for him, they thought it would be easier to down tools and throw him under the bus.

    There shouldn't be a why, unless Ranieri decided to stop attacking I can't see how a long punt and chase could be removed from your team...every team has that option available to them, it's not genius and Lesta are tops at it. Plus you did fine in the European games in between, maybe the players fancied it a bit more? Proved themselves in the Premier now want to chase another goal? Really you think that is impossible?

    Playing Devils advocate John, don't start cursing Harry Kane for it.

    I just don't think professional players would deliberately try to get the manager sacked and I don't think it's so black and white. I would argue all day that a lot of it is confidence and maybe subconsciously it could be effort but I am adamant that they did not intentionally play badly or play to lose. Who would?
    Most people are also refusing to blame Claudio could be in any way responsible so good to see you achknowledge that as they all need to share blame for the season so far but unfortunately, you can't sack a team. If you can a manager. That's the way it goes and we aren't the first to do it so I've just been fed up seeing all the hate

    Dear LCFC, ta very much for meekly handing over the 3 points when you came to St Mary's this season, that was much appreciated at the time, especially given our own indifferent form.

    However, now that we know your players have all been acting the **** and basically not trying all season, I am a little disappointed that we only took a point off you at your place last September. A missed opportunity there for us, I feel.

    I agree with your point (if I'm understanding it as I think ha).
    On the plus side, there was barely any punts from the back today so they can play it out

    Liverpool sacked Brenda Rogers only to replace him with Klipperty Klopp, for what, what's changed ?
    They're still shipping goals left right and centre !
    Wasn't it about fifty last season , 33 and counting so far this ?
    Maybe our lads didn't up their game, maybe the opposition were just that fookin shlte and as bad as we have been lately, the shower of scousers made us look world beaters..... we'll see on Saturday ! <laugh>

    I heard someone on the radio say something which really hit home....

    "If Leicester had finished 16th last season under Ranieri, he wouldn't be being sacked now." I think that's a pretty good shout tbh.

    A night of mixed emotions at the KP ... wonderful heartfelt tribute to Claudio reverberating around the stadium in the second half ...brilliantly energetic and purposeful performance from the team (Ndidi my MOTM) ...

    Two things clear tonight ...if we maintain that level we won't be relegated ... Liverpool look light years away from a first EPL title ... we'll likely get a much sterner test from Hull at the weekend... :)
