Except we know he means it like he does and not how you do, so it's a very valid stick. I really do think he's made for Leicester. If he takes them up he's a miracle worker. If he doesn't, he was hamstrung by circumstances and they were doomed to failure. Even with a depleted squad ( and JV ) they'll do well.

Unlike Martin, I see no snake oil on him. He is beardless, appears to not vape and does look (as someone said elsewhere) like Tintin.

I think Leicester should look at it this way: Points deduction, fine, transfer embargo - no hope of going up, possibly down; who's the most deserving 'manager' you can think of to oversee that?

Where's the story of where he learned to tackle?

Gotta love a bone of Small. Which bone, I don't know, but I don't think it makes any difference either.

His decision-making is non-existent. As in, he doesn't know what to do with it.

YAY. (Because it's not with us). But congratulations to him, too.

I'm sure you know a lot of Southampton fans blame him for injuring Van Dijk which then equates to us having a poorer defence in the League Cup/whatever it was called that year and losing to Manchester Utd when we think we otherwise would have won. So he's definitely persona non grata in this neck of the woods. A few other places too: who likes a striker who scores goals against your team often?

I love people who say in the face of a myriad of articles and a fuckton of evidence that RM will never change that they'd be interested to see how he'd change. What's life like under Everest?

He's a West Ham fan which is why he'd like to manage them one day.

Actually. If you listen to his interviews, in one of them he had a difficult situation. The manager had left. He was put in place and had to get the team going again or they were relegated. They stayed up. His approach was to be pragmatic and work with what he had. It is out there, that information.

What's our record this season?

Expect that's a few more euros for Valenciennes then. Was nice to see Welington giving Ashley Young some gip. Was good to see Stewart get in front of his man and not get his header on target. He might be ok in the league below but I can't see him being a top level striker. Robinson looked to have a little about him. Liked Archer's defending and even a bit of something when he's given space (again, in a competitive PL game, I don't think he'll cut it. Looking forward to breaking more records in our last home game and the (I really, really hope) mass clear out. I'd say of the dross but that's rather a large proportion of what we've got. Let's hope Vardy gets his 200th goal and that's all that's talked about this season, while we go under the radar.

So, in other words - he's shit. Yep, I agree.

I can't run. Maybe I should ask for a trial?

I do have to interject at this point. You're talking crap, making an argument and trying to back it up with something that isn't the evidence and isn't any evidence.

Far too good for that rabble.

I do think he should get flak. For the season ticket pricing, for not coming up with something better regarding staged payments, for people losing credit. That's his brief and he should get a load of stick. Crap managers? He might be one, but I don't think he hired any of them directly. If he did, yep, another reason to sack him so he can get another overpaid job somewhere.

Insult to carthorses.

No. Just no. He is a terrible manager who got lucky. He won't get lucky again and I'd rather have Nathan PE Jones than him.

A la Nathan Redmond?

Rather than a 12th man, we're going to get a 12th point. I can feel it in my pint (number 12 so far).

I feel a u-bend coming on.

Ramsdale wasn't really a gamble though, was he? Nor was MF actually, but I recognised he might have some adaptation to do. Didn't realise it would be to how crap we are though.

Padded seats? Not rooms?
