I wasn't far out.

[popillius]

They are going to destroy us.

 

[Micky]

Puel is clearly trying to do a Mourinho.

 

[camberwell fox]

****ing hell, that’s a disaster

 

[londonfox]

Hmmm, I wonder if Mahrez or Ihenacho will cause more damage to their former team?

 

[Polar Bear]

I'm depressed, I've got a Shakatak earworm and now this. What a shit day.

 

[FOX Franks]

We’ve already given them that one then. Why is Puel prioritising the league when we’re not going to get relegated and not ****ing win it.


Decision to not go down justified.

 

[Miles Away]

We are going to get battered

 

[Brown Nose]

Chucked my tickets in the bin.

Feck 'em.

 

[popillius]

Choudhury and Iborra. Christ. I mean, that's a ****ing disaster.

 

[Rock Fox]

One side seems to be taking the competition seriously... pity it's not us

 

[camberwell fox]

I'm depressed, I've got a Shakatak earworm and now this. What a shit day.

What the **** is that?

 

[Jeff]

What the **** is that?

Something he got down on the street.

 

[Lako42]

Nearly makes me happy that I'm shitting and puking at the second time

 

[City Fan]

We are going to get bum raped.

4-3-2-1 I guess? Finally something new from Puelis.

Maddison on the bench, Vardy nowhere to be seen. We have literally zero attacking threat in the team.
