I think that is true. Like you, really liked him and still do. What is definitely true is that his philosophy and motivational quotes would have annoyed a lot of fans if he didn't achieve what he did. "The man in the glass" stuff would not have been quite so effective if we were bumming around mid table League One.

I don't know why you are pretending that the approach/mentality/ambition of every football manager on the planet is some unique thing attributable to Russell Martin and/or Southampton. Maresca and Kompany aren't at Leicester/Burnley because they love the city or the club, you know.

Two games in a row. Very solid/effective. Looks like Flynn Downes brother as well so really has slotted right in.

Really good performance all round. Great to say that such a strong performance was masterminded by a young British manager.

That's no way to talk about Peter Sellers.

Except it was Russell Martin that introduced the concept of "....if I was Spanish", so he's the "abhorrent" one, yes? Your avatar and and username is, like, now. Today. "Abhorrent", right?

Just to recap, your avatar is Peter Sellers and your user name is based on a figure of fun character based on xenophobic stereotypes. Peter Sellers himself famous for playing on xenophobic and what these days would be seen as racist characterisations. "Abhorrent" indeed. Goodness Gracious Me, what an absolute plank. https://youtu.be/DUZCXaStvnc?si=W69x27fOSWIhWAAH

It's not Hallowe'en if it's on a Sunday. It's the day after.

He just needs to remember he has achieved absolutely jack shit as a football manager. 13th with MK Dons and 9th with Swansea was not a track record deserving of the job he's got. He is incredibly lucky that the visionary/trendsetter/too clever by half SR leadership have landed on him as their third attempt at a managerial appointment. Stop spouting off like you're gods gift to tactics and maybe start realising this teams potential.

You're just jealous you didn't go to that tactical masterclass fans forum the other week.

Not sure he's got the two full seasons needed for the players to learn it.

Oh, I do too. I've really enjoyed watching Leicester this season.

Let me know when the "good football" starts, cheers 👍

I notice you skillfully avoided mentioning the team that was 5th with 21 points after 13 games last season - Queens Park Rangers. I don't think anyone us saying we can't make the play offs. It's highly likely, but any team from about 17th up can go on a run to the play offs, big deal. After 13 games Burnley had lost once. Once. We've already lost four in a fucking row. After 13 games Burnley had conceded 12. We've conceded double. We conceded 12 in September alone. Give it up on the "we're just like Burnley" routine. We're not. The foundations are don't concede and don't lose. Martin is pretty incapable of sending a team out to achieve the first, which is why we've lost more than Burnley did all season already.

We are very likely to make the play offs. This will be despite the manager not because of him. He's a non entity promoted far beyond his ability.

I can't wait to see this team when they have completed all of their learning of the system. It's going to be immense 🤩😍🤩😍

This - Brave is brilliant at killing pop ups.

Apart from the whole "not giving the home team a handball penalty" thing.

The clean sheets is ON, people.

Right, that's me done on the granny porn. Any goals yet?

This game is so exciting you just can't keep your eyes on it.

This is going to be a routine victory.

I have every confidence SOG will be able to name one immediately, but have there ever been any Jewish extremist attacks in the UK or mainland Europe?

We're going to London as a family next week and feel more trepidation this time than the last few times we've been. It only takes one nutcase and there's enough material for them to feed off right now.

How many points would Leicester have if they didn't have all that relegation scar tissue?
