Russel Martin is working his magic at Leicester. 4-0 drubbing at home to Oxford today. The tiki-taka tosspot has got them playing his usual route 101 football, which is so ineffective in League 1. Oxford chucked balls over the top, defence were hapless, constantly caught off guard. Even at the kick off for the 2nd half they messed it up. Leicester kicked it back to a defender, who under pressure kicked the ball at another Leicester player. It ricocheted & Oxford were through to score, but missed a sitter.

Football can be a cruel mistress when you've got a bad mixture of incompetent board and deluded manager. They spent £100m on a new training facility in 2020. One of the best in Europe, and they're getting battered in League One. Real reality check for them, and in their current setup there is no way of them getting out of this league this season. (Unless they get relegated!)

On behalf of all County fans, thanks a sodding lot.

The Rovers are having an inconsistent season. A potential free agent deal fell through at the medical stage, but Mowbray says if he can keep his current squad together and fit then they should have a decent chance at not getting relegated. I have a feeling this is Blackburn under Venky's now, steadying the ship in the middle of the Championship, bringing youth players through the academy and then selling them to pay off the owners' debts that they somehow owe to themselves. At least that's how it'll be until all the stuff awaiting trial in India finally goes to trial. That or some serious money comes along and buys the club.

What an absolute fucking embarrassment. This lot never seem to be ashamed enough of breaking shit records, losing to either of our biggest rivals at home in pathetic ways. 

City turned in a performance to be really proud of. Conversely, United's response was disgraceful.

This is the type of mental overreaction I get sick to death of seeing on social media. They only lost to an incorrect decision.

All due respect, Arch, I don't care. It's the second time in two seasons they've lost to ten men after the sending off. It was an incorrect decision, but they should be putting a ten-man team away, or at worst drawing - not losing after the card. 

And again: City showed a ton of heart, whilst United just went all over the place for most of it.

I agree, they should be. It's deeply frustrating, but 'absolute fucking embarrassment' just felt a bit over-emotional.

Yeh, fair enough. It was just after the match. I should've just taken some minutes.

Next United meldown is on the way. Appears JJ Gabriel is on his way out. Someone check on Mark Goldbridge.

I'd fully support United not taking shit from a 15 year old and his Dad if this was isolated but it's yet another shambles involving a the high profile United academy graduates. Garnacho, Rashford, Greenwood, Mainoo. The club just lurch from one own goal to another. Must be absolutely maddening when we're all old enough to remember it wasn't that long ago when they were the best recruiters, developers and sellers of talent around.

Apparently he was promised more game time and didn’t get as many minutes as he wanted during pre season and not named in the champions league squad against Sabah. Don’t care how extremely talented he is, we can’t have a 15 year old and his dad trying to call the shots. Allegedly, his dad is a fucking nightmare and the cause of this.

Watch next talented academy player Chido Obi be next to go when he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s already had a sulk.

Hopefully the same doesn’t happen with our two other best academy players - Kai Rooney and Jim Thwaites (which is such a pre WW2 players name)

Yeah by all accounts, knowing he's been in 4 top academy systems in 6 years or so does make it feel like he's getting some awful advice. 

Apparently Man City were interested, a move to them and he'll be out on European loan after loan the next few years but it'll bounce his wages and value up more than being bled into the United squad slowly.
