Crap like that The Pardew 5th season was a complete outlier in his career. Rodgers has had one poor season for the first time in ages and they still got to the semis of a European competition (albeit not a high tier one)

Rodgers career beyond Celtic (one of the easiest jobs in world football) has been the master of being a bridesmaid. 

Why are you so more informed than Leicester fans, from what I’ve seen? 

Not sure how it’s so different, just at a different level. He’s won one FA Cup with them and fucked up top four twice in two seasons, they’ve regressed year on year with him.

Trying to claim the Conference League as a pro is laughable. It’s barely the Intertoto Cup. They fucked up the Europa, again, under him.

Daka has scored about 6 goals in the league this season, hardly set the world alight. He was anonymous against us

What’s your point? That’s probably because of the lack of run of games he’s had. Shock horror in his 2nd start in 17 games he wasn’t prime Messi.

Wasn’t that anonymous against us in the away game, with a goal and assist.

His tally isn’t bad considering how in and out of the team he’s been. 5 in 6 in the Europa League.

They shouldn't realistically be in the conversation for champions league football though should they, an FA Cup win and 5th place finish is brilliant for them man.

Why shouldn’t they? 4th spot is (and has been) wide open for years.

Again, your post as condescending to Leicester as people used to be with us with Pardew, Bruce etc.

In fairness, Rodgers transfer spend has largely been offset by the sales of Chilwell, Maguire and Mahrez.

I meant he had money available to make signings and reinvestments, not that it isn’t held back considering how much the training ground has cost them.

Spent £30m on Daka and never seems to give him a run of games, despite always scoring whenever I’ve seen him. Seems a strange one.

They'd be mad to sack Rodgers even if they've been underwhelming in the league

 

They won the FA Cup this time last year

Pardew got us 5th once. Mad that people forget how annoyed we got when people sprouted crap like that to us when we were understandably annoyed at the performances.

Rodgers has failed to get them CL Football twice in two seasons after they collapsed spectacularly from January onward. 

This season they’ve been crap and have been getting worse and worse. The FA Cup win masking a lot of failings.

Should they just keep him on and carry on deteriorating? It’s not like he hasn’t had time, or money.

Leeds full on activating relegation mode now.

What kind of injury did Mina suffer?

Embarrassment from the defending for the Leicester goal I think.

Mina off injured, Keane on… leerrrl. 

Leicester equalise.

Leicester are fucking bobbins.

Suddenly realised that when we've been bemoaning the death of the game, some of us have been talking about different things.  

 

I fucking hate all that fan experience shite. The Germans have it right, that's the direction I'd want the game to go in.

 Dilutes the atmosphere and attracts a different kind of fan, imo.

In terms of quality there's not too much of a jump from Conference to League 2, and from League 2 to League 1. Biggest jump imo is League 1 to the Championship. 

Conference is a nightmare to get out of because there is only two places, one of which you have to potentially win three extra games to get there.

Quite a few of the teams in the top half would do well in League Two, just very difficult to get there.

Gerrard wearing a jumper over a shirt and tie. A sartorial horror.

Since when did this become a fashion faux pas?

Just like the takeover wrong again sold out.

 

One look at this years attendances would tell you that they don’t operate at 37k capacity.

I would just give up Fanny 

 

 

They did incredibly well to get 38,234 two years after the game I quoted then and 38,256 in the same season…  twat.

Exactly…

 

In all seriousness my context to this was a mackem on RTG claimed they and Sheff Wed could have sold 60k plus last night. It’s simply not true and for all it’s a great crowd for league 1, the simple truth is the likes of us, Leeds, Liverpool, Everton, Villa and Salford would have sold out last night in the same circumstances.

 

They’re a big club just not as big as they like to think they are.

 

“Cold hard facts”  

Real facts: Leeds United playoff semi final in League One attendance: 36,297 - just over 1.5k below capacity.

It's set up nicely for the neutral, but advantage Sunderland now. Sheff Wed 11/10 to win at Hillsborough, so presumably Sunderland will be something like 4/6 (and definitely odds on) not to lose, and even if Sheff Wed were to win in 90 minutes, they are still not certain of progressing, whereas Sunderland, with their lengthy unbeaten run, know a draw will definitely be enough.

 

Sunderland have come into 13/8 to be promoted, pretty much joint with Wycombe. Sheff Wed out to 10/3 at places.

 

Sheff Wed are 23/20

Draw is 12/5

mackems are 12/5

Expecting a home win, which based on form is probably about right.

I think Sheff Wed will be relatively happy with last night. The tie should be over because they were crap for 70 minutes.

Just now, Whitley mag said:

Not comparable to us Fanny and that was my point.

What is our comparable attendance in League One, Keith?

If you were Mike Ashley right now would you be kicking yourself at only selling us for 300 million after seeing this?

It was only 12 months ago we were all complaining that Ashley valued us too highly and was pricing buyers out of the sale.

Take away 2000 Yorkshire twats and not that great from the massive lads fans. Roles reversed and a trip to Wembo at stake you wouldn’t be able to get into St James.

 

They’re a big club no doubt, but it’s all about levels when compared to the North East’s big boys.

Full of shit, as always.

40k+ in League One is an incredible attendance, lets not pretend otherwise.

The Mag really needs the plug pulling. Embarrassing.

Footballer says something thick during an interview shocker.

He’s not wrong, but shouldn’t have said it. Smack on the wrist and some piss taking in training is fine as punishment.

Like him or loathe him, reaching the Conference Final obviously means a bit to Mourinho

 

 

Absolutely love the bloke. 

Shite from Sheff Wed but equally shite from the mackems only taking that 1-0.

Sunderland looking a bit tired and disjointed atm. 

The team aren’t playing particularly well either.
