🇦🇷 Games 🧵
Game one: Velez Sarsfield 0-0 Argentinos Juniors
Not a classic but first game in this beautiful country. Decentish atmosphere and home side had a goal ruled out for offside but not much else
This is a strange take. Having someone like Louis Tomlinson taking up-and-coming talent on tour and giving them a platform to play in front of larger crowds at big venues is exactly what the industry needs. He and so many other artists are doing a great job at promoting new music
Forced out by the incompetence of those above him. Won’t ever have a bad word said about KDH. One of our own, stuck with us through good and bad and was meant to be here for much longer than he was made to. This one really hurts
Martin Tyler’s comments about us prioritising another competition over the Premier League sums up modern football. Prioritise trying to win a trophy, a European one too, or finish in the top half of the league for the sake of a few extra quid? Trophies all day, every day
Another brilliant job from a great group. Other clubs would dream to have displays as good as that. Worth noting it’s made entirely by fans, not printers
Won’t get bored of watching this. They really do care. Back them, cherish them. This is a special group of players. Thank you for making my weekends this much fun
You wouldn’t think we’re 10 points clear at the top and playing good football. More people stayed to clap off a team full of players that didn’t care and got the club relegated last season but can’t stay and support this likeable manager and good group of players when winning 🤷♂️
Getting relegated was such a good thing for us. The swamp was drained, the culture was reset and a set of players and a manager who want to be here are around and the feel-good factor is back again. Good times to be a Leicester fan
Absolutely love that from Maddison. Shows the unity and belief the lads have in each other that will make us a successful side. Spot on about Wilf too. One of the most important cogs in our team and doesn’t get enough praise from non-supporters of Leicester
#LCFC
One of them where we win that on any other night. Bring on next week. Also, hearing ‘When Your Smiling’ again was one of the best moments of the season. The Leicester
I’m struggling to find a player I’ve fell in love with as quickly as Harry Winks. The ultimate professional but, away from football, just seems like a lovely guy
I’d love one of the players to come out and call out this atmosphere. The arrogance of the fanbase to expect us to roll over teams is disgraceful. Sing up and back these lads, it’s the least they deserve for how good they’ve been this season
Being out of the Premier League makes you realise what a bitterly depressing league it is when you’re not one of the big six or fuelled by endless pots of money
Grown ups are genuinely getting wound up by this. Ranieri grew up supporting Roma… Of course he’d trade that to have won a league title with his boyhood club
Monday will be toxic, make no mistake of that, but there’s only one group of people that need to hear that. It isn’t Steve Cooper and it isn’t the players, it’s the ones upstairs who have been getting away with this for too long
Looks like this is it then. It is time to move on but don’t let that take away just how brilliant this man has been on and off the pitch. From league wins, to cup trophies to risking his life and more, he’ll go down as one of the best to wear the shirt. Thank you Kasper ❤️
🚨Info : Accord trouvé entre Leicester et Nice pour Kasper Schmeichel 🇩🇰.

■ Dernier détails à regler entre les Aiglons et Schmeichel 🇩🇰 qui réclame 3 ans de contrat.
■ Quand tout sera OK, la visite médicale aura lieu dans la semaine.
Jesus lord the gods are on my side. Passport collection from 9:30 in Liverpool and 5:55 flight from Manchester to Rome booked. Birthday saved. Anyone know how to ask for a venom in Italian?
🔵🇨🇿 Hoffenheim have hijacked deal to sign Adam Hlozek, as exclusively revealed today!
Medical tests booked and deal almost done, as Leicester City were waiting for green light from player’s camp…
…and Hoffenheim got it done. ⤵️👀
This is the worst performance I’ve ever seen from a referee. First goal wasn’t a free kick, pulled back a free kick when the advantage led to a goal. Doesn’t excuse the poor showing up top but referees again at fault
#LCFC
What an absolute farce and a waste of time, all for the sake of a PR stunt. The hierarchy seem to be so out of touch with everything right now. Those ‘fans’ greeting them at the airport nowhere to be seen in the stadium. The people of Thailand aren’t as interested as they think
Was very impressed watching Notts County tonight. Dan Crowley is way too good for League Two and it seems like once it clicks, Stuart Maynard’s style of play will be a handful for the rest of the league
Everybody above the manager should hang their heads in shame. He’s galvanised the team and papered over the cracks that the lot above have created. Rudkin has no business being at this club and if Top can’t see that then question marks are raised about him. Feel so bad for Enzo
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse are the perfect duo. I have no interest in fishing at all but watching two mates travelling here, there and everywhere, just chatting is so comforting and peaceful
#Gonefishing
Claude Puel could win us the FA Cup and he’d still be a fraud in some people’s eyes. Get over it. New season, new start. We have a decent squad which has good long term potential. If you don’t like it, don’t come to the games otherwise get behind the team and manager

EXCL: Mike Bassett is in advanced talks with Leicester City and is now the front runner to replace Enzo Maresca. His appointment is expected to be announced in the coming days

🚨 Doing that thing where I once again post a semi-serious journalism update 🚨
Delighted to say I’m joining the team at
@GRVMedia
as a senior sports writer.
Really excited to get underway in my new role on Monday so keep an eye out for my work on our sites 🙌
Delighted to say that after three great years at
@StaffsUni
I’ve graduated with a first in sports journalism! A lot of hard work has gone into it and it’s the perfect way to round off the best three years of my life where I’ve made some mates for life. Roll on the next chapter!
Nine points off the play offs with 38 games to go and one of the Championship’s biggest spenders in recent years. They’ve been underperforming for years, it really isn’t one of football’s ‘greatest moments’
So excited to finally announce that in the next couple of weeks I’ll be starting my brand new role at
@SportsJOE_UK
. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me
Be excited
@ChesterfieldFC
fans you have signed a striker who will give you his all. Had the pleasure of watching him rise to this level and there’s nobody who deserves it more. Good luck Shawey thanks for the memories
A big milestone for me today after having my Premier League and EFL accreditation accepted for
@VAVEL
. Really looking forward to hopefully covering
@LeicesterVAVEL
from the press boxes this season
Actually baffles me that some people want Puel to walk and leave still. The man is in the middle of preparing for next season, bought in two very good signings and working on new signings. Have a day off and get behind him
#LCFC
Officially been at

for 2 years today. In that time I’ve:
✍️ Written over 3,000 articles
🎤 Spoken to names such as Tyson Fury, Eddie Hearn and the first exclusive with the World Cup guy
🏆 Covered several major sporting events
Excited to see what’s next
Delighted to say that as of today I am now one of the new executive editors at

People are pointing out the experience, or lack of experience rather, problem. The exact same manager he would be replacing had no experience of the Championship or Premier League. Tactically very astute manager who likes to attack but also has a plan B up his sleeve
😢 "Take care of yourself, and take care of your life, and live it. Bye"
🗣️ Sven-Goran Eriksson delivers final goodbye and admits how he wants people to remember him
A lot of people criticising this but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. Fans deserve to have their voices be heard and I do think that players do sometimes forget just how much a club means to someone
I’m pretty gutted I can’t lie. In all my time watching Leicester, I can’t recall many other managers being so thankful to the fanbase. Just feels like he’s going to end up like every other Chelsea manager and his credibility is going to go down the drain
Enzo Maresca is Chelsea's No. 1 target as new head coach. Chelsea have today asked
#lcfc
for official permission to speak with Maresca over the job. Now appears v likely to happen this week. Story with

Dundee have agreed a loan deal for Leicester City midfielder Sammy Braybrooke.
Braybrooke is predominantly a defensive midfielder and is an England U20 international.
The 20-year-old has two years left on his contract at Leicester.

Can’t understand why anyone would knock this? The atmosphere in 90 per cent of Premier League grounds is dreadful and if this was anywhere else in the world, people would be saying they wish it was like this in the UK. Good on them
Casemiro surely has to go down as one of the signings of the season? Everybody knew about his quality but the way he has transformed this Man United side from being fragile to having that winning mentality is incredible.
Every day my hope in us staying up fades away a bit more. Clubs like Fulham are making signings like Smith-Rowe while we seem incapable of giving any of our managers the tools they need
Final long piece of the year from me. There’s no doubting that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time, but the final few chapters of his time as a footballer are going to make for nothing more than grim reading:
2023 is coming to an end and as someone who is the most self-critical person in the world, I wanted to look back on some of my highlights to remind myself that I am actually capable of doing this job 🧵
Actually quite proud of myself. Been doing my Duolingo pretty much every day for a year now and for the first time was able to actually to direct someone using their language. Albeit very broken and can’t say it rolled off the tongue but so buzzing it’s actually paying off
Daring to dream is not the reason why we’re going to be punished. The reason why is because of the failure to abide by the rules and allowing those behind it to remain at the club and rewarding them with more power than ever. Stop the victim card and take some accountability
