Looks like bad news for the foxes . probably a double dip down to league 1.
1.) 05 Feb 2026 19:33:26
6 points is a joke, should be 60.
2.) 06 Feb 2026 00:33:48
Not enough to send them down unfortunately.
3.) 06 Feb 2026 01:12:37
They're now just outside the relegation places having previously been comfortably mid table, so I think they'll survive. However, since we got a 15 point deduction for a similar infringement, I don't see why the should get away with losing only 6.
4.) 06 Feb 2026 07:05:18
Think mot was right. Anymore would have given us the opportunity to sue them and league.
5.) 06 Feb 2026 23:36:32
I think our 'infringement' was the double administration and non compliance with insolvency rules so not quite the same but was still much harsher than the one Leicester just got. Luton's 30 PT reduction was the largest deduction in football to date so we were still nowhere near that!
6.) 07 Feb 2026 08:57:05
Remind me what luton did Alf? That’s ridiculous. Prob knocked city out the cup or something ?.
7.) 11 Feb 2026 08:00:00
You wouldn’t want to be a foxes fan today. That takes some doing lol. At home too. Ouch. ?.
8.) 11 Feb 2026 17:55:21
Absolute collapse. Enjoy league 1 and thanks for James Justin ?????.
9.) 11 Feb 2026 18:33:00
Luton Town lost 30 points in 2008 due to a combined penalty from the Football Association (FA) and the Football League for financial misconduct, specifically for illegal payments to agents (10 points) and failing to exit administration correctly (20 points) .
21 Jan 2026 21:52:44
Well looks like Palace are falling apart, and maybe ready to join the relation party . Their only remaining forward now wants out . worth a punt to weaken an opponent?
1.) 21 Jan 2026 22:34:37
The market reckons Mateta is worth £40M, (the same as they say for Strand Larsen) , but as those allegedly chasing him include Aston Villa and Juventus he's likely out of our reach. However, Palace are only 3 points ahead of us, their manager is at odds with the club heirarchy, and they still have the UEFA Conference league to worry about, so catching them up has to be a real possibility.
2.) 21 Jan 2026 23:53:33
Ooh what's a relation party? Sounds incestuous.
3.) 22 Jan 2026 00:52:54
Only relatively so Alf. ?.
4.) 22 Jan 2026 04:55:29
Put it away Alf.
5.) 22 Jan 2026 09:10:46
Have we shown any incest in their players?

After yesterday's game, it looks like we are sorted at the back except for the GK and DM. I think it's fine. With Amps and AO and others to cover.
However we are still a toothless lion going forward. It's obvious we need upgrades in the AM and striker rolls.
DJ and Pirro are just not good enough and although I like Willy - not as much as ILK - he's not good enough either. I liked Harry and Boogle together seemed to feed of each others energy, and Tarik just stood out.
1.) 31 Jul 2026 20:58:20
Goals have been an issue for a long, long time now. I fully appreciate it's an unenviable task, but someone takes it and someone gets good money for that job.
We have to have a half decent striker this season, although I do also appreciate Wilson's supply route should help out big time.
26 Jul 2026 07:08:20
I know that was the first game, and a lot of those playing will not be on the pitch when the season starts. But not an encouraging start.
1.) 26 Jul 2026 08:19:03
Again, if Farke reverts this forthcoming season to his failed 4 at the back formation, then I'm not sure he will make November at the club.
Very interesting indeed that there is still no movement on a new extended Farke contract by 49ers.
This is his final year of Farke's contract, as things currently stand.
2.) 26 Jul 2026 08:44:17
Players are always rusty and unfit in first friendly. We only had Rodon in defense. These games have very little substance, more of a training exercise and working on tactics.
No surprise in Baz making wind stories about Farke getting sacked by November. It's repeat and rewind time again.
3.) 26 Jul 2026 08:50:25
5 at the back needed, OP.
4.) 26 Jul 2026 08:55:13
I think the formation and tactics were the worrying thing. Particularly the second half. As others have said. You can't play Bogle, Justin or Gabby in a flat back four. It will be disastrous.
And he won't make October, let alone November. Moving the ball was too slow. That's not fitness. That's tactics. Good teams will close us down and punish us big time doing that.
5.) 26 Jul 2026 09:07:11
Or perhaps rewind and repeat. For the discontented, they should start a big sing along of we don't want Farke, Farke Out. Losing or drawing just one game usually stirs up the anti Farke rhetoric.
6.) 26 Jul 2026 09:18:03
I watched the game live, and, as probably expected, we looked very rusty, especially at the back. Longstaff was our best performer while he was on. I did expect, with the players we had on in the second half, us to go on and win the game.
But we didn't really create much, and there were a lot of loose passes. Farke will be expecting to see improvement, as will us fans, as we play more games.
7.) 26 Jul 2026 10:23:51
Rusty? I see Wrexham must have played a few games then. If Daniel Farke goes back to the disastrous back 4 formation, he deserves everything he may get. I am not saying sack him, as, under the circumstances, he has done a good job and deserves to stay. Good luck, Daniel Farke, using those tactics; you will need it.
8.) 26 Jul 2026 11:11:14
Wrexham were on their third game, Oldbri. Polish side TS Wisla, 0-0, and Man Utd won 1-0. Regarding formation, surely he will stick to the same that served us so well from half time at Citeh.
9.) 26 Jul 2026 11:53:46
Perspective, fellas, perspective. Our first friendly, we started with young Alfie Cresswell and Linoe in defence. Rodon, only recognised cb.
Cairns in goal, who looks destined to remain a 3rd choice keeper.
Matty had a strong game, and Wilson played as a 10 when coming on.
Piroe missed a pen, but scored one. James had some good moments, and not so good.
Oh, and we flexed between 3/5/4 in defence.
It's predominantly about fitness at this stage of preseason. Worryingly, DCL is not ready as yet and remains on his "personal fitness programme", which, to be fair, worked well last season.
Priorities remain as keeper/striker and left sided lb/wb.
10.) 26 Jul 2026 09:31:21
Opti, Leeds played and we are debating the game tactics and result. Taking into account preseason and fitness.
We got undone by Wrexham. And although they are probably fitter than us, with the players on in the second half. We should of won.
11.) 26 Jul 2026 12:04:11
Reading the "banter" above reminds me of that Harry Enfield character Angry Frank, who imagined a problem and then argued how it should be solved. NOooo!
It was our first game and it showed. Longstaff was our best player and was head and shoulders above the rest. Rodon was at the other end of the performance pendulum.
Things I took away from it:
Wilson is going to be alright and will be a danger from set pieces, and will allow Stach to be in the box for corners rather than delivering them.
Goalkeepers, do you actually need them? I don't care how good they are [or not]; they are helpless if the defence is hopeless, and ours was last night. I am not sure either of our keepers actually touched the ball with their hands?
Longstaff was good and composed and got another good goal [even if it was in a friendly].
Most of the "kids" did ok, especially in the first half.
Hopefully, we might see a more likely starting 11 next time out and then it will be better to judge. NOooo!
12.) 26 Jul 2026 13:39:28
Ani lurve it. Some of Harry Enfield's characters are absolute genius.
Now, who is it that reminds me of Angry Frank?
13.) 26 Jul 2026 14:10:45
Suits you, sir.
14.) 26 Jul 2026 14:39:07
Classic Aus, their best ones ..
15.) 26 Jul 2026 19:51:20
Baz, with regards to the Farke contract, I would think it suits both parties. At the time, he's looking to see if the owners play ball with his wishes. No rush on both sides; if they don't, he will leave at the end of the season.
Also, if, as you say, he doesn't do the job, they can cancel his contract. But both sides are too busy sorting out all the other things on both sides, mate.
16.) 26 Jul 2026 20:31:50
Good post Whitey.
12 Jul 2026 20:39:31
64 team World Cup, just insane - there are countries that just don't need to participate and be humiliated.
Put money grab.
1.) 12 Jul 2026 21:15:57
Just include all the countries and have done.
2.) 12 Jul 2026 22:22:37
That would take about 4 months to conclude and 8 host countries.
3.) 13 Jul 2026 12:18:05
What has dodgy Infantino been on, I wonder?
4.) 13 Jul 2026 14:11:20
It seems his greed for money or massive brown envelopes knows no bounds. Also, the distasteful wanting to place himself in the limelight.
Makes Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini look like rank amateurs in FIFA's endless corruption trail.
08 Jul 2026 18:26:28
Great to see an announcement on Harry Wilson, but do we need the entire Wales team playing for us?
And what does that mean for DJ, is he moving on?
1.) 08 Jul 2026 20:04:25
The more Welsh lads, the merrier, CA.
Hands off DJ.
And, let's put in a cheeky bid to Wrexham for Lee Chapmanesque striker Kieffer Moore.
2.) 08 Jul 2026 20:07:48
And yes, a great signing for Leeds United is Harry Wilson .. potentially could be our best signing of the summer.
If he has even half the impact Gordon Strachan had for LUFC, he will be ace.
3.) 08 Jul 2026 20:52:39
Great signing. Hopefully, this is the first of a few quality additions.
4.) 08 Jul 2026 21:42:07
Imagine the upgrade we are gonna see with Wilson playing over Aaronson?
5.) 09 Jul 2026 00:27:54
Imagine the outrage if Wilson is on the bench and Aaronson starts. Haha.
6.) 09 Jul 2026 01:03:41
Aaronson will go, I think. Would like one of Dj Gnonto to go too. Keep large.
7.) 09 Jul 2026 07:07:37
Please, not Kieffer Moore. Apart from a big presence at corners, etc., because of his height, he's a donkey, and, since he'll be 34 when the season starts, a very old donkey.
8.) 09 Jul 2026 08:49:41
Come on, JR.. Kieffer is quality. ?
9.) 09 Jul 2026 14:33:03
Quality Baz, what at cos it's not football. Like I said hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw.
10.) 09 Jul 2026 20:36:26
Well, one is as good as gone! Maybe we can PX DJ for someone on a lower salary?
23 Jun 2026 23:38:53
Giana played well, but England were a long way from being good - played way too slow, and Jude played the missing man role really well. A few others were astoundingly terrible
Come on Canada.
1.) 24 Jun 2026 03:02:13
England were ponderous, and Ghana parked the bus in defence, so they couldn't find a way thru. Their right back Senaya was particularly impressive, seeing off Gordon, then Madueke, then Rashford. Were we looking for a RWB, I'd maybe take a closer look at him.
2.) 24 Jun 2026 12:09:02
Anyone else not rate Bellingham that much. Morgan Rogers should be getting more gametime.
3.) 24 Jun 2026 14:48:01
Bellingham is over-hyped, overpaid and sadly over there.
It makes me so angry when he is in the team; his attitude stinks on and off the pitch, and he really isn't anywhere near as good as he thinks. His brother is bang average, but he's better than Jude.
At my age, it doesn't pay to get so invested in the hope that we might actually achieve something at a World Cup, but I don't think I have been so utterly depressed by a performance and a team. 20 minutes in and Shearer was waxing lyrical about how good England were playing [tip-tapping sideways and back constantly], little did he know that that was the blueprint for the rest of the game.
At 20 minutes, we had ~300 passes to 32, but the same number of touches in the final third!
Thank goodness, Ghana had no ambition, because our back line was a basket case last night [rather than just Pickford].
The most amusing thing about last night was Pickford telling everyone to "calm down!" As if England could have actually played any slower!
4.) 24 Jun 2026 15:17:19
Ha, enjoyable post, Ani. I agree with your sentiments about Bellingham. Definitely overhyped.
5.) 25 Jun 2026 08:24:04
Bellingham has that air of petulance which is driven by him thinking and believing that he is better than he is.
12 Apr 2024 20:52:36
no deductions this year as it's the EPL not the EFL.
29 Jun 2026 21:28:49
Corkey, did AO do something to you in a previous life. Give the lad a break. There have been worse plays from worse players during our regular season and you don't jump on them as hard
They all cry now. They all are astonished when they miss, and they all roll around the ground when they get touched anywhere near their head - state of the times, bring back '70s footie when men played the game.
21 Jun 2026 16:51:05
The Ref warns the player, raises his arm, and starts counting on his fingers.
20 Jun 2026 02:06:06
When it's not raining - lol.
19 Jun 2026 15:59:09
The law says, Serious Foul Play: A challenge using excessive force, endangering the safety of an opponent during active play.
When the contact came, the ball was gone, the contact was late and deliberate - he went through the standing leg from the back.
It started with a yellow and got upgraded to a red when the VAR looked at it.
So, yes, it was deserved. Pity that it broke Kone's leg, yes, it was a weird break. Still deserved a red.
12 Jun 2026 16:18:56
World Champions - because they only play with themselves.
