Or, two players (Lemina especially) who have been utterly woeful recently have finally put a shift in.

What we're up against is Bournemouth rolling over against Swansea before we even kick off.

I thought it was all an exercise in futility?

Do world class managers settle for a top ten finish and then switch off, job done? I'd always associate world class managers with having a little bit more drive than that.

I've no doubt Vardy was playing out of his skin for a manager he worships like some kind of god.

For a result that is utterly irrelevant to us staying up or not?

Drab draw, or a flattering victory which becomes meaningless when other results go against us.

Adkins make barely even cryptic comments about his own job security post-match. It was obvious that day that he wouldn't last long in the Prem and so it proved. Match was live on BBC1 too. It's a shame the beeb haven't got that little TV deal next season.

Has been interesting to follow the lunatics on twitter. The secret barrister has been doing fantastic work.

Isn't it about time for someone to remind us that people wrote off Sadio Mane to begin with?

Matt Targett isn't better than Ryan Betrand who will be challenging for a starting position at the world cup. You'll have to remind me of the players we have spent multiple millions on to play reserve left back. I thought we just had Sam McQueen as back up. Who else is on loan who is better than our first team? We are currently rubbish but it ain't because we have got some army of world beaters playing in loan elsewhere.

The idea that Koeman leaving us to go to Everton is entirely "Les Reed's decision" is just horsesh it. Koeman was offered a pay rise to stay, he refused and off he went. Not letting Koeman go into the final year of his contract without extension was the correct decision regardless of Puel or Pellegrino. People like you would be moaning like f uck if we'd done that and grizzling about Les's decision to not try and tie him down. But you're right, we'll never know but my advice is in those situations don't assume everything thing would have been better, which us what you seem to be doing. Maybe reference Koeman's second season with Everton which was a bloody car crash. Something people like you were not predicting this time last year. Most were saying how Everton were going to invest and build and grow and grow and build and invest and be be challenging for the top six.

We were never ever going to let Koeman do that, quite rightly. Not least because we would have had an entire season of fans moaning about "why didn't clueless Reed tie down Koeman earlier we knew his contract was running down etc etc". Or, if the season went badly they'd blame Reed for not extending Koemans deal so the club was allowed to drift and lacked leadership etc etc. Letting Koeman go into the final year entirely on his terms would have been a disaster. And anyway he would have gone to Everton anyway for the money. And, he did.

Yes it does. Only the truly unhinged Nordic nutcase can read an article like that and decide that it's a Les Reed puff piece based on a throwaway line about how we used to be good at transfers (spoiler alert: we did used to be good at transfers). No one is reading that article and thinking, ain't that Les Reed brilliant.

Quite a lot of unnecessary fuss really. It's not like the FA have always owned it - they didn't own it when Euro 96 was on, let alone when world cup 66 was on. At the end of the day it's just a venue and perfectly normal for that to be owned by a private business. The FA Cup final will still be there as will everything else because, funnily enough, what venues want is events to put on.

They haven't been particularly ambitious in their managerial appointments - promote the assistant, then Puel. Ranieiri worked but he wasn't a blue-chip appointment, most people thought they were mad. It certainly wasn't the equivalent of recruiting Emery for example. Leicester have done well on player retention, that's for sure.

You actually think we're going to get to 39 points? Jesus wept.

If Leicester don't dither about like we did, within one year.

It is over. We are down. If we beat Bournemouth then all the Cherries need to do is roll over against Swansea the following week and boom. We're relegated and Hughes knows it and the players know it too.

Looks like they're considering replacing Puel with an alternative world class manager.

It is nothing like that. It might not turn out well, but bears zero resemblance to SISU whatsoever.

So you think Chen still holds, present tense, a realistic ambition that in the here and now we are going to be top 10 Premier League club with this perfect management team? Seems unlikely.

Leviticus Chapter 7, right? Great stuff.

Wide range of roles - not purely football decision making. If he's talking about the club as a whole he is probably not wrong - we do have a fundamental structure in place that is sound. Doesn't mean Les has got a job for life or even a job in June.

Have you actually read those tweets yourself? They don't contradict the implication of the first one.
