I’ve never liked going to Leicester since they won the league and got above themselves. And those horrible happy clappy things too.

I've never gotten over that 4 nil in 2011. I can't hear Fire by Kasabian without thinking about Jensen's 'perfomance' that day

Leicester’s master plan to play a centre back who can barely move doesn’t look to be paying off.

Look like they have no fight in them Leicester. Reminds me of some matches when we had Laws in charge.

2 shots, 2 goals, I think.
Jones is becoming a top player and not just because he’s bagged two.

Could get embarrassing for Leicester. Looks like one from Leeds, Everton and Forest to join Southampton and Leicester.

Evans’ foot looked to be playing him well on to me.

My first thought was offside but you’re right, it’s Evans playing him on.

Leicester players and crowd haven't woken up to the fact that they are realistically about 45 minutes from relegation

Absolutely shocking

Surprised at the booing and general lack of patience from the Leicester fans. They’re **** and playing Liverpool, what were they expecting?

They won the league in a freak season where their squad played out of its skin and the usual challengers all had off seasons/managerial issues. I’m not downplaying the achievement, it was absolutely unbelievable but there were circumstances to it. I find it baffling the change in entitlement since that freak season that the fans have undergone. They’re slowly making their way back to being what they’ve been pretty much all of my life (barring that 3/4 years under O’Neil and then the 3/4 years under Ranieri/Rogers) - a yo yo club with similar ambitions to ourselves.

The booing is ridiculous. You have to wonder what planet they are on. They’ve overachieved for a few years and the expectation level has gone through the roof.

The free kick was just a short pass, then TAA scored a curler from that pass.

I can't stand Leicester but I do appreciate how the owners have refused to throw good money after bad.
It just shows you what happens when the money runs out.

Tbf they had a brilliant squad when they won the league, a group of players who all peaked in the same season. Slowly got dismantled and replaced with squad fillers and aging players. There's only one way they could go , hastened by the owners lack of cash.
Just gone through the motions this season.

Similarities with our friends down the road for Leicester? Main benefactor dies, club gets passed down to family who aren't really interested.

They’ve no money to throw at it apparently. King Power took a huge hit through the pandemic.

They made their money via airports/duty free wasn't it?

The pandemic wiped out business for two years pretty much

Yep, duty free. Prior to this they’d been very generous owners and very much part of the community.

Leicester fans booing and showing pretty much zero support, Arsenal fans walking out yesterday despite a young side having an incredible season. No concept of what being a fan is, bunch of wankers

Or, if they have, Leicester are not the priority at the moment.
International air travel is, generally speaking, getting back towards pre pandemic levels.
It will be interesting to see when and if the considerable funds required to turn this mess around are found in the next few seasons.

I watched something about the owners the other night that suggested they have severe problems and are struggling (all things are relative) to keep all the balls in the air.
