Is Darren Grimes a Newcastle fan? Jesus Christ.

What about Nigel Kennedy?

We play at Walsall every year and have done for yonks now, and let them keep all the gate money. I hope that doesn't get binned because of this.

Ah, thanks, that makes sense. Before the PL was the best league in the world, it was definitely the best marketed one, and that's not changed since then.

I genuinely haven't had the impression there's any bitterness beyond that shown by Villa and Newcastle fans bickering on twitter and forums. 95% of both fanbases don't even know that goes on.

Is this part of some concerted Premier League US tour? We just announced obvs the match with you but also Fulham and Brentford in Orlando and Baltimore.

All these twitter kiddies arguing, it's bollocks. I've not encountered this supposed 'beef' in real life at all. Listen to this bloke talking for the minute or two here, this is the real general way people look at it here. https://www.youtube.com/live/lF__v0NT5dE?feature=share&t=1331

After Smith? He took Steve Bruce's absolutely rotten team from the arse end of the Championship, won ten games in a row, got us promoted, kept us in the Premier League in the first season and then had us mid table. We were right to bin him when we did, but lumping that in with Gerrard in terms of appointment is absolutely nuts.

Bailey is shit - he's absolutely no loss.

Also beat Man United, Spurs and Brighton (both away) though. Were also very unlucky against Arsenal. We play better against stronger teams, but ideally away from home, where we seem to find it easier to do what Emery wants. We've also scored in every game under him. Kamara is out, which is disappointing, but Ramsey seems to have dropped in alongside Luiz and McGinn pretty well. This'll be 1-1. I also reckon it'll be a good game. We're so, so much better against teams who have a go, rather than the likes of Forest who parked more than one bus last week.

Leicester are a club with a small number of games in which to save themselves from what looks like very possible relegation. Dean Smith, after the covid break, saved a club from what looked like absolutely certain relegation, in fewer games. He has done exactly what they need to do, in the last few years. I genuinely don't think there are many more sensible but - most importantly - achievable appointments they could have made, especially as it is until the end of the season. re John Terry. When he came to us, I was gutted, as I hated him as much as the next man, and thought he was just there for the $$$ and didn't give a shit about anything that wasn't Chelsea. Totally wrong on that, he was brilliant for us both on the pitch and as assistant manager. They're also taking Craig Shakespeare, who is still highly thought of at Leicester from his time there. I saw that smug fucking prick Barry Glendenning saying what an awful appointment it was. Who do they think Leicester City, in their current predicament, should have gone for?

I'd rather be playing a decent side like you than another Forest tbh. We're much better against teams that can play than dross that needs breaking down. Will be a change from the usual bottom of the table shite-fest of the last years.

So, if City win their game in hand, and beat Arsenal, they go top. If that happens, they're staying top. Arsenal were done today by blood and thunder and not a huge amount of quality, wobbling like fuck.

That is basically all Everton fans do, scream handball and penalty for 90 minutes. It must be a Scouse cultural thing. The only reason Liverpool fans do it slightly less is the higher proportion of the crowd made up of fat Irish blokes and Scandinavians in jester hats.

"He elbowed me in the face" Good, you fucking cunt.

Jesus, our match against you next week is going to have a ball-in-play time of about 10 minutes. El Shithousico.

Agree entirely, he's fucking hopeless defensively. Doesn't try half the time and when he does, it's so half arsed.

First 11 matches under Gerrard: 9 points, 6 goals. Last 7 days under Emery: 9 points, 6 goals. Gerrard - Proper Fucking Manager.

"There's only one Jimmy Frizzell"

Dunno but we've just beaten about 7 of the shit teams in a row, so it's not quite that cut and dry! It is more about against the shit teams we just go through the motions and come through whereas against the better teams, we pull out more impressive performances.

Not great performance today. Basically did exactly as much as we needed to and nothing more. The better the opposition, the better we play for some reason.

I was flicking between their game and ours today and they look truly awful. They're in big, big trouble, and most worrying for them was Harvey Barnes going off. They create absolutely nothing that doesn't involve him.

Amazing how Lampard is slotted into jobs he's done absolutely nothing to suggest he deserves. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Carpethead Gerrard roll up at Leicester next.

I thought this before this week, but especially after seeing him against us this week, I reckon Harvey Barnes would be a better buy than Maddison. I'm talking in general terms here, not in terms of what you need in your squad.

That is it. He's done this whilst instilling an entirely different way of playing the game, too.
