They came they saw and they won with ease, congratulations to Leicester City on winning the league although maybe their fans need a history lesson, "Champions of England you"ll never sing that", at the ground of the team who were the first ever Champions.
Apparently the fraud in the manager has stated the players have not fully bought into what he is trying to do, judging by the reaction on Social Media last night vasts amounts have seen what he is trying to do and now want him sacked(yours truly included)
No goals in 6 of the last 7 games only the hapless Huddersfield have had to pick the ball out of the net. Our most dangerous player Millar playing right wing back given he's left footed and doesn't like playing wing back, Mads FJ dropped last week for the Merseyside Messi(Woodburn who last night didn't even make the squad) makes you wonder what goes through Fantastic's head.

At three down their manager was on his feet wanting more from his players, ours was sat down hopefully looking at the jobs vacancy column because that is where he should be heading. Stick with Fantastic we go down next season.

A unseasonably cold and wet end of April day, even the Cherry Blossom on Blackpool Road looked bedraggled, Foxes fans already arrived looking in hope for a pub anywhere near the ground, must be the only club in the league without a pub within a mile of the ground.
The first half was a training exercise for them, we had limited attacks otherwise we were defending our 18 yard line with ten men, to be fair they didn't create many chances but McAteer should have scored with a header at the back pust following a cross by the impressive Fatawu.
But just before the break they took the lead through Steptoe although get the feeling he mishhit the shot and it curved just far enough away from Woodman into the side netting.
From then on in we were never remotely in with a chance of getting anything from the game.
The second half was a stroll, the second came from some utter woeful defending, Faes picking the ball up in midfield literally ambles through our crumbling defence before firing a shot which hits the post the rebound is gratefully hammered into the net by Steptoe, game over, seven minutes into the second half people were heading for the exits.

Twenty minutes from time Fatawu ambles into the penalty area wanders past a defender chips to an unmarked McAteer four yards out, he heads home even more home fans leave.
Fatawu fires a shot which hits the post, Vardy had also earlier missed a one on one which would have given him a hat trick. All that was left was our likely departing skipper to be substituted in a triple substitution, to say he was unimpressed was an understanding, 400 plus games and not allowed to have the ovation he so richly deserved by the fraud sat in the managers seat. Fairly obvious the manager and the captain have long sincee being on the same page as each other.
At the end the players did a lap of honour must have be odd doing it in front of 5700 City fans.



Albion on Saturday what hapless crap will we serve up there and Hull fans thinking we are going to do them a favour, ain't happening lads we are on the beach.

Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe told BBC Radio Lancashire:

"It was tough. They are a good team, aren’t they?

“The first goal is hard to take when you are not far off half-time. We knew they would have large passages of play and control of play, and the first goal was a bit of a sucker punch.

“We asked the players to be a little bit braver in the second half, and get up a bit. But when you see the three goals, you can’t give a team like Leicester those types of opportunities because they can punish you."
