When fans of Coventry start taking the micky, then you know something is wrong at your football club. Some sympathy then for those poor Leicester fans who are slowly working their way back to the Championship? What do you mean, no!? Enjoy the latest edition of the OV...
"Worst performance of the season. At least with others we've had a decent first 10/15 minutes or a minor spell. We didn't look interested at all. I don't think West Ham got out of first gear all game, barely heard a cheer when they scored - fans probably not realising how easy it was."
- HybridFox
"Shit ground, shit pie, shit atmosphere, shit team, shit performance, shit exit from the ground. All those who didn’t travel made the right decision. Absolutely shit day out for the Leicester fans ."
- jim5000
"Watching Leicester is like having a Tesco Meal deal and buying a bottle of water, ham no mayo or mustard and ready salted crisps."
- teblin
"Genuinely, this is the first time in my supporting history (over 30 years) that I have ever been embarrassed. I am ashamed of the lack of effort, the lack of any inclination or desire to change anything, to try anything new. I have seen numerous relegations, but never have I seen anything like this. Utterly shameful. A disgrace, from top to bottom."
- Suffolk exile
"Losing is one thing. The gulf in class and lack of quality at this level is understandable given the awful investment in the team. BUT the lack of fight and visible effort is not acceptable. Just jogging about and trying to get to the end of the 90 minutes without doing anything spectacular is so puzzling to me."
- Eskay
"They say it's a thin line between love and hate. But it's getting a lot thicker for me as far as Leicester are concerned."
- trabuch
"Expectation is at an all time low and too be honest not watching this team is actually better for my state my mind, than watching them. Ruud has to go, as for Rudkin surely his position is untenable and this group of players, what can I say except I hope we have the biggest of summer clear outs ever experienced at a professional football club and barring a handful start again."
- Claudio Fannieri
"I'm dejected by everything this club now is. The team is shit, the manager/coach is shit, the owners are shit, the players are shit, the 'beer' is shit, the pies are shit, the toilets are shit, the security /stewards are shit, the turnstile ticketing entry is shit, the website is shit, the club shop is (not absolutely) shit but the merch is a rip-off. The announcer is shit and the goal music is shit (from what I can remember). What is there left to feel less shit about?"
- Parafox
"I'm actually quite enjoying it. No stress, no expectation. It’s like watching a school sports day when your kid is particularly shit. Maybe they allowed alcohol or you’ve got an unrealistic expectation you’re in with the hot mom. We all think we're Superman sometimes."
- Bibby
"We stink worse than an anchovy with BO on a maggot farm in July, just after Satan has broken wind, the night after he went for a dead rat balti and a gallon of IPA."
- Bob Weasel Fox
"If I was the owner, I'd sack the manager tonight swiftly followed by the head of recruitment and the DOF. I'd then call in each and every player's agent and tell them that they won't be playing for us again and to find their client a new club. I'd genuinely rather see the youth team getting beaten every week for they might at least try. The first team squad not only lacks talent but also lacks any essence of pride of playing for Leicester City. It is clear some don't want to be here and the sooner most of them leave the club, the better."
- Reynard
"Champions of England to Chumps of England in less than 10 years. Thanks very much JR, SW and the board of LCFC, especially for the so-called manager who stands on the touchline and gives no emotion and can’t pick a decent starting 11. Well done you fuckwits!"
- justfoxes
"Probably the most depressing experience I've had watching Leicester. Hate that stadium so much. Players simply do not care. General feeling of apathy throughout the away end. Grim."
- Bovril
"Those who travelled down have put far more effort in than the players. West Ham never got out of second gear and we played like it was a pre-season testimonial, absolutely prideless performance. West Ham did not have to create anything, we gave them two goals. Not sure where we go with RVN but you can see why so many managers will not touch us with a barge pole. I don't expect us to win every game but we do not put in any effort."
- katieakita
"An alarming lack of effort with the most strange tactics employed and two unlucky goals scored conceded. West Ham couldn’t be arsed second half and we still couldn’t get near them. Fair play to those that travelled."
- Bert
"People genuinely singing Millwall songs near where I was sat to try and wind the home fans up. Staggering levels of stupidity."
- FoxesTez
"Much like the Arsenal game, West Ham were there for the taking, outside of Southampton I think any other team beats them tonight. We offered absolutely nothing, we didn't fight, we didn't even try. Ruud just doesn't want to be here, I know the club let him down and lied to him, but what is the point in continuing with this charade. We can't have him in charge next season in the championship, so why carry on?"
- Iwebema
"Bloody sick of this. Feeling like shit after each game. Everyone here knew we would lose this but it still feels awful. I have to work with Coventry fans and all they do is take the piss now. Ruud Out. Rudkin Out. Drain the swamp!"
- Vaz
"I’m pleasantly surprised with a toothless, zero effort, 2-0 loss. Much better than I was expecting."
- Death by Football
"I’ve been exchanging messages with a West Ham-supporting friend. He’s a very nice guy, not at all given to ‘banter’, and has always been very positive about us in the past, even when we’ve played poorly. Tonight he texted me after the game: 'Jesus Christ mate, that has to be the worst away team I’ve seen in 45 years of watching West Ham. Do your players not even WANT to stay up?' I had to explain to him that sadly, no, they don’t."
- ClaphamFox
"West Ham are gash, we are just much more gasher. They have had a poor season generally, we made them look like Top 6. I used to be show some kind of emotion when we lose, now I just seem to have stopped caring. Away Spurs win aside, 2025 has been a disaster."
- Bezzanator89
"That was/is worse than 2001/02 against a bang average West Ham team. I can’t believe that this time last season we competed with and beat Bournemouth away in the cup with our reserves."
- Parker Pen
"They looked like it was a training exercise for them in the first half but heard plenty of their fans saying how poor they were. It was an absolutely dreadful game of football and they scored two dreadful goals that were gifted to them. It was basically a case of two awful teams matching up but one of them saying they will do the basics like pass and move, run off the ball etc, whilst the other team couldn't be bothered to do anything."
- dmayne7
"If you were were a West Ham fan you would be a) glad that there's dross going down to keep you in the division and b) not too fussed about watching the 'highlights' of that game, as most of the commentary was about just how utterly abject Leicester City were/are."
- Vacamion
"Pretty sure Soucek is a robot."
- Muzzy Elliot
"West Ham looked terrible. They played in second gear, never really threatened, and didn’t really attack very much. It’s just we are so diabolical teams don’t even need to turn up to beat us. Two bobbles goals given free of charge tonight and game over before halftime"
- jim5000
"It wasn't lack of quality that was the difference tonight, though there is a gulf in that department, it was just lack of effort. Basically a training game for West Ham. Why are we the first team in the division with our flip flops on?"
- Number 6
"A lot of the guys round me spent most of the game goading the WHU fans including Millwall chants (bit weird, but each to their own). It was quite a strange atmosphere at least where I was."
- bovril
"Potter will have to get his players in for extra training tomorrow."
- Number 6
