and West Ham

Exactly. Some people think the objective was not to lose by too many. There me thinking that you would want to try and win a trophy. Would rather lose by six trying than lose by a single goal defending. Though in saying that, when I watched back the final years later I was surprised at how good we were that day. Always had the impression on the day that we were not up for it and a dull performance but it didn't actually play that way, we should have gotten level.

I dont think a spontaneous reaction is time based mate

To be fair, he has nailed you on that. ???

is the Chelsea game on the semi final weekend then?

when are we playing Arsenal now?

this guy cant be trusted to give any guarantees, its just BS, haven't even listened to it because it will be the same old cliches.

Inthink you have to realise on how things are edited and twisted, which is not the fault of the interviewee. Also I am sure ML was discussed, but his (Cortese) quotes were simply not used in that respect. I mean the MLT line about the book makes out that they were best buddies, we know that is not true. Unless you see a line by line, quote by quote interview, you never really get the full picture.

its not Idris Elba

I guess you haven't heard Idris Elba too much.

why not?

or lots of people from Somerset

Ok, maybe i havent read it right either, or replied properly. Basically, I would have thought most proper Leicester fans would have taken a **** season for a good crack at the CL, personally i would take a final chance and relegation and that is what separates the PL fans and the real fans, real fans do not say ' would rather stay in the PL than win the CL', IMHO anyway.

If you really believe that then I guess you must be a new generation Premier League fan.

I don't know mate, have you not stood in the Itchen North lately? It's a bit like that there ?

it wasnt thrown, but he hardly set out to win it.

Yeah, I wonder why. Shame the people who lived with us in Div 3 don't get priority. Reading the thread about dads and kids who deserve to go, but, hey they haven't actually been to any games this century, don't sit right. But thish is futball. I mean people hoping it gets down to 2 home games, FFS it reminds me of Eastleigh cup runs. I'm from Eastleigh and I hope they do well but I'm not one of these who just wants to jump on their bandwagon every two years when's a big game comes around. Can't and won't do it unless I take up watching them on a proper basis. Got to have principles and stick by them. Anyway, anyone got a spare for my mate, he supports Bournemouth but he's never been to London.

I still find it strange that some people think that players will stay because they are loyal, ****ing madness. If Bertrand was to get an offer from say Liverpool, in the summer, do you really think he take into account how it went at Chelsea and Villa? No, he'll take into account 'whats in it for him now'. Sorry mate (dont hit me for it), but even the new guy will be off in the summer if he carries on like this. This clubs overriding policy is to buy low and sell high and to be fair, its working. Of course, eventually we'll be found out.

Good post. Palace turned him down but we can't sign him quick enough, what does that tell you?

you can see with your very own eyes how different we are under the last three managers. We don't press at all under Puel (except the Liverpool home cup game for some reason).

good, I'm sat next to you. you in block 134?

What surprise me more than anything is the amount of 'know it all's' on this forum that can't get an automatic ticket. Which tells me that they don't even go to many games but yet on here play the big man.

he's coming home..

Gareth Bale has been spotted in the Zara shop in West Quay, make of that what you will.

sounds like we wouldn't let him go before the August deadline when maybe Man Utd did want him then, clearly they are not interested now and that left him with palace or wspam. Think his pride wouldnt let him go back.
