Me too. First half he was excellent. He dropped off second half but he wasn't alone in that. He is living off scraps most of the time with a lot of high floating balls kicked vaguely in his direction, which for the most part he has to sprint after with little hope of winning.

Re: ⚽ Leicester City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Reading the OV it did make me chuckle that they were moaning about a great ball over the top for Bowen's goal. Ball over the top for Vardy to slot one in anybody?? When we do it it's hoofball, but when they do it it's world class football Modern day football fans, especially the armchair mob are a joke

Ha, absolutely. We' have millions and millions of fans. They'll be plenty calling for Moyes' head the moment our results properly plummet. I'm still convinced there's an anti-Moyes contingent who've been waiting patiently in the wings to (re)launch their attack. Hopefully, they'll still be well in the minority. Whatever happens, Moyes has, imo, earned plenty of time and patience imo to implement his vision, and the right to work his way through any imminent bad patches we have.Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 7:28 am You say that but many don't cut him any slack and we're currently 4th and still in two competitions including Europe.
I read earlier that he's another Allardyce :lol:
It's why I was shocked at the pressure Rodgers is apparently under this season given how superb he's been for them the previous two and a bit seasons.

Re: ⚽ Leicester City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Couple of favourites from the ov. West ham fans were quiet apart from the start of the game. All i could hear was west ham loud and proud for the whole game. Didnt hear a single thing from leicester for the whole first half other than the pen. Second was we only had 1 shot on target other than our goals, erm pretty sure leicester had no shots on target apart from their goals :lol:

For all the grizzling from some of our fans over missing out that Patson Daka, did he actually do anything? And that was against our reserve centre half pairing.

Re: ⚽ Leicester City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Just read that in 1927 the LMS laid on a special restaurant train for this match.
A seat in a dining car, a meal there and back and return fares were 10 shillings, which is around £50 now.
Left at 11.30 and returned at 6.
All I got was something from the trolley they called ‘tea’ and half of Luton in the carriage.
(we lost 3:0 btw)

Re: ⚽ Leicester City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Rightly or wrongly, I guess that's down to them being in prime position to claim 4th the past two seasons and bottling it in the final few weeks of each season.steveyrockstar wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 7:36 pm It's why I was shocked at the pressure Rodgers is apparently under this season given how superb he's been for them the previous two and a bit seasons.
Now all of a sudden they're struggling to even finish top half in the Prem, messed up the Europa League, and the fans have a sense of missing the sliding doors moment when they could have consolidated themselves as a top four challenger.
Lots of people on here have had the same sinking feeling about our lack of investment when the squad is so threadbare, but I think most of us would happily settle for some midtable mediocrity if we'd won the league and a cup in recent years!

Nah - expectations would go through the roof and fans would be calling for the manager's head on a platter as soon as results began to dry up.StevePottsGoalsReel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 2:23 pm

Sorry, was unclear - I meant that we'd take that from where we are now.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 2:40 pm Nah - expectations would go through the roof and fans would be calling for the manager's head on a platter as soon as results began to dry up.
Have no doubt that lots of our fans would be just as unreasonable as lots of Leicester's on the other side of it all!

Got a ticket for Liverpool away in the ballot but just seen it's in the restricted view section. Haven't been there since I was about 12 so can't remember how bad that is, is this representative of what it's like?

Sorely tempted to just give it the ticket away to a local hammer if the view is really that bad!

The camera taking that picture is held at over head height, so factor that into it.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 3:49 pm Got a ticket for Liverpool away in the ballot but just seen it's in the restricted view section.

It is a poor view from up close to the back.

Been stuck back up there before, really is a shocking view, not good if your claustrophobic either!
