And it's very funny.
City and Newcastle were always likely to win. Villa beating Brighton is net a better result for us, I reckon (although I like Brighton more).
Just a shame about Southampton.
...and it means that we have effectively closed off a top seven finish....with astle vanilla only a (very) outside chance to catch us. Barring disasters, it will be at least top six, and some form of european tour.
....who are one point from ensuring that derby are still the (joint) worst team in 'ship history. Two from keeping derby the only team on that mark.
I was hoping it could be done this round. Looked good for a long time.
Leicester last scored a league goal on the 26th January. Last scored a home league goal on 8th December (2024). I blame Steve Cooper.
Do we need a dedicated Leicester thread?
Percy: Excl: Ruud van Nistelrooy axes Harry Winks from #lcfc squad in row over 100-mile commute. Winks refused a demand to stay for one night a week at club’s training ground and was excluded from squad for match at Man City
Lucky for Ruud, commuting from Nottingham is allowed.
lolz. I mean, honestly, it's pretty reasonable request.
There's a 40 Winks joke here somewhere.
Not sure why it took 15 minutes to agree on a clear offside. I guess because Chelski….
Fun fact: Our Driver in these here parts was also the driver for a certain Roman abramovich. Said the weirdo liked to go to remote islands in the Adriatic and electric bike around alone. I knew he was a wrong ‘Un.
Chicago: A man of many contacts.
Typical Spuz.
I’m fully aware of the whole “if you sit down for dinner with 11 Nazis, there are 12 Nazis at the table” thing but football people haven’t really moved to Bluesky (yet?) and it is a bit of a left wing echo chamber - I do like to hear some reasonable right wing opinions as a sense check.
I heard it as, if you've got a Nazi at the table and nine people talking to him, you've got ten Nazis at the table.
"Echo chamber"... Sure. It's a place where people can agree on basic facts, or you can choose to block them. There's plenty of disagreement on "the left" without introducing lies.
I said in c.2007, on these here pages, that I couldn't see the point of Twitter when we have specific thread for posting about mundane shit rightbhere on Talkback.
Anyway, I never did bother as I couldn't really be arsed at the time.
