It’s painful because as a club we just exist. For a lot of our fans just being in the premier league is the be all and end all. For me that’s pointless. I’d happily swap a couple of European campaigns and cup finals for a few relegations and promotions. Few years in the premier league then go down, come back up again after being a big club the championship for a few years, then repeat. There is very little pleasure in starting every season with the sole ambition to still be in the same league at the end of it.

Tremendous defensive record, must be that settled keeper and defence....
-
Our worst run since 88/89 under Nichol?
-
Jesus wept.They’ve got a £40m centre back who Would get into most others teams in europe As fourth choice. Yet they don’t really rotate their keeper
-
I never said it had anything to do with tonight’s result. I’m really not sure why you’re saying it is. Simple Point is look back through history and in general teams who are successful with best defensive records pick the same keeper and centre backs every week. Of course there will anomalies to this like a team who can afford a £40m centre back as fourth choice.
-
Well people questioned Ron Greenwoods management at that time due to his rotation of them, so I guess you’ve kind of proven me right 👏👏👏
-
You’re twisting what I’m saying. I’m not for one minute saying we’d have won had McCarthy played
-
Yeh England smashed it during that era 🙄
-
Must just be coincidence that when we’ve had our best periods we’ve played with the same goalkeeper and centre backs week after week after week
-
We’ve been trying
-
Isn’t it now as bad as it was when Pellegrino got sacked?
-
That’s the problem we’ve got 3 average keepers earning £200k + a week between them.
-
City are probably the exception because they are the only team in Europe with a second eleven as good as their first choice. They don’t rotate their keeper every week though and also look at how they performed without Kompany in his prime. Look back through history the best teams always had a keeper and two centre backs who only didn’t get picked if they were injured or suspended
-
It’s a fact. The best teams have a settled defence and keeper
-
Doesn’t make SKDs point incorrect though
-
He’s talking about the defensive unit as a whole. Not his fault you didn’t under the point. He’s right, the changing of keeper is odd, unless it’s to give them both a chance to stake a claim for first choice next season. The best teams have a settle keeper and back four, which is the point being made
-
Yep. The chances Adams and Tella had 2 of those 3 are in the net if they fall to Ings. Two soft goals conceded as well. We looked a good side, some good performances, quality moves, just lacking a bit of quality with final pass and finishing
-
Yep he’s got that build that will bulk quickly. Pace and power for a striker 👍
-
Agree. We’ve looked a good side tonight, final ball been lacking a bit of quality a few times though
-
Sims always looked a bit too small and weak to me. He had a few good games off the bench but when he started he struggled. Tella is stronger and has an impact when he starts
-
I really like the look of Tella, final ball lacking but has got something about him
-
It was a tough chance, Addison was right on top of him, best option was probably to hit it hard and low hope it went though his legs but was far from an easy chance. Shake Redmond shot weakly straight at keeper in the follow up too
-
Leicester imploding for the second season in a row when on the verge of something big. Just like Liverpool did a few years ago, one thing they both have in common, who was manager?

Booking to the Faroe Islands are though the roof this evening. Most of Europe on amber travel zone ffs

I like it. I also like the ones How the Chinese invented a virus to bring down the west, yet unbeknown to them a western multi billionaire, former owner of the worlds largest software company Had invented a vaccine with a microchip in it to control everyone Which he delayed releasing until the virus was out of control. Meanwhile corporations And governments were waiting for this moment to bring down the worlds finances to turn us into a cashless society.
