The shitness of modern football

FA Cup draw on a Monday night. Half an hour before the round's final game, on a Monday night. Fuck off.

 

Cheer yourself up with some more smiley training pictures from Spain instead.

 

I for one wont be bothering with any cup auto scheme next season if the attitude of the club has gone full Newcastle and fuck the cups, why should us fans bother?

  Really is getting close to the day for me of saying fuck it. If all that matters is getting trillions from a league position and cup run's mean nothing what's the point?

Its tonight from ewok park isnt it not Monday?

Yep, blue cunts v red cunts. One for Isis to attend.

Hope Arsenal put 10 past them and I wont be making any attempt to watch that game at all now.

Disgraceful treatment of ranieri...he leads a perennial yo-yo club to the title - a feat beyond their wildest dreams and then when they are performing at their usual level he gets bin bagged.

 

I hope they get relegated and plummet down the leagues.

True that, just seen it on the Guardian's website and this thread was the first thing I thought of.  They have been gash this season in the league, no denying it, but as well as the not insignificant feat of winning the title last season they've come out of a tricky away leg in the last sixteen of the fucking Champion's League with an away goal this week, decent performance at home and they could be in the quarter finals.

 

Leicester fucking City.

 

Unbelievable Jeff.

[manwiththestick]

Every manager that has won the league since 2012 has been sacked.

[Carvalho Diablo]

It's a disgwace.

My first thought when I heard the news.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Apart from Baconface.

It's fucking disgraceful.

I've only just heard - it's a disgrace

[Kevin D]

I guarantee that Putin is up to his neck in this.

[El Rojo]

Ranieri is a great, great guy sacked by FAILING soccer club The Foxes. SAD!

[Section_31]

Most pathetic decision I've seen in football for years.

[G Richards]

Yep. Ranieri is a gentleman and a true football man. He's been all over and seen it all, and then later in his managerial career he managed Leicester to a league win they will never repeat. He goes down in history for that. Their true level is somewhere nearer mid table, and they've been below par all season. But as was said above, he more than deserved the right to keep leading them in the battle to stay up, and if necessary to lead them in the fight for promotion.

 

A lot of the goodwill Leicester have generated just evaporated with this.

[Alan Sex]

They dilly dinged him out on his dilly dong.

Leicesters true level isn't even mid table - they are a perennial yo-you club and their treatment of Ranieri is a disgrace.

 

They have spent 11 seasons in the premier league since sky invented football.

 

I hope they are relegated and plummet down the leagues.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Seems a weird turn of events, most neutrals were rooting for them to win the league this time last year as it represented the last semblance of simple romanticism in football - that the underdog could achieve great things without CL money; now, most of the same people will be hoping they go down, for cementing just how entrenched in the cash cow of the league and safe mediocrity the game really is.

 

Hope we destroy them on Sunday, they go down, we sign all their best players, then loan them back once we've turned them to shit.

[Tony Moanero]

Had Leicester fans turned on Ranieri?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Had Leicester fans turned on Ranieri?

 

Not as far as I could tell, they were still singing his name recently.

 

There's a rumour that some of the players might have stuck the knife in though.

[an tha]

We really need to bum them dead hard on monday

[The Golden Eel]

Had Leicester fans turned on Ranieri?

 

Based on what I have read, I would say most of them thought it was the right decision.  There certainly isn't the outrage that's all over the media and that's being proffered by non-Leicester fans.
