Vardy's two goals took him above Gary Lineker in Leicester's all-time scoring list.

so many negatives today • centre midfield absolute liabilities both should have come off at half time • smith has lost all faith in his own ability sad to see what he has turned into • hamer woeful first goal was embarrassing • durms passing • mooys set pieces Positives • Mooy in centre midfield • Leicester’s supporters • towns responses to their chants Leicester supporters were really good. Many of them approached me in the Kings Head after the game and genuinely said how disappointed they were that Town were being relegated. They spoke with humility and affection for Town and Town fans. They said how much they enjoyed proper football supporters, a great atmosphere and terrific beer. (They might have, but chose not to, mentioned that they invariably win as well!)

I was born and raised elsewhere in a shit hole (no reflection on my parents, they worked their arses off) in the shadow of a now top 6 club Leicester fans are ok compared to the lot I grew up with. Although back then they weren't billy big bollocks like they are now

We were spanked by a much better side, better players, better tactics. It's not just that we played poorly, even if each of our players were at the top of their game, we are not a Prem side.that sums it up really..we spent how much to strengthen the squad from a top end Championship side to a bottom end premier League side ? £100m+ over 2 seasons ? Salaries of £1m+ a season for players...brilliant backing from the fans in a full stadium and away from home too.
Will we ever make a regular PL club without massive financial backing ? Burnley seem to do ok, brighton too but when I look at our performances this season we're actually miles away from being anywhere near a lower mid table PL side. We just haven't found any 'gems' in the transfer market, we haven't loaned any quality either... It's so sad to see the decline from last season,not only in performances but in the character of the team... Yes, bad decisions were made last summer, and throughout the season...we have been niaive and at team amateurish in our strategy. Feels like 1972 all over again, I just hope the board get a grip in the summer and we don't just disintegrate back to being a 3rd tier club...
All accepted and agreed. Bit harsh on Bacuna and Lowe though, the future starts with these guys

Hoyle might have appointed some poor managers but the appointment of Wagner makes up for them all. You cannot have a go at him. I'm doubtless in a tiny minority, but I wish he was still here.

The two saves by Schmeichel at the beginning of the second half were the key. 0-1 down and he stops that one at point blank range. Then they go up the other end and score. Then then second one saved with his right hand when I think it was 1-2. We get them we have a bit of momentum being on level terms. Apart from the keepers didn't think that they were that much better than us.

Deluded in some ways..Vardy, Maddison, Gray were light years better, there were others too... ...but you do wonder what would have happened if Grant had managed more than a toe-poke

Yellow card was correct. To be fair he was a country mile from the ball and lucky he didn't break Vardy's ankle. I think ones like that are massively open to interpretation and I think he took Vardy out because he knew he was tapping it in to an empty net, not trying to play the ball

I think ones like that are massively open to interpretation and I think he took Vardy out because he knew he was tapping it in to an empty net, not trying to play the ball Of course that was the reason he took him out, just like Zanka at the world cup and many other players this season. All you have to do is make it look like you're attempting to play the ball. He did, as did countless others, so they're all yellow cards.

Apart from the keepers didn't think that they were that much better than us. They were so much better than us. Faster. Quicker decisions. Constant movement of their players whilst we walked about when we were in possession. More clever. Stronger. Basically it was men against boys. although we did improve in the second half when Mooy was in charge of our play rather than stuck out on the right hand side. It was clear that our players are shot, deflated, and in need of the season ending and/or a move. We need fresh ideas with players who are prepared to graft and take on board the direction we're heading.

Leicester were one of the best sides I've seen at our place this season, including the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs etc. Maddison was superb, I thought. Horrible little fucker though

Leicester had a number of players who were able to run at us with pace and skill. We couldn't handle them. When they attacked with pace and intent they cut through us almost every time.
In contrast we were slow and stuttering in thought and deed. We huffed and puffed, and did create a few chances to be fair, but as usual we had no real cutting edge. Our chances were missed and Leicester took a good proportion of theirs. A depressingly familiar theme this season.
There were crucial points in the game where we could have put ourselves in a position to get a result, but in truth Leicester were better than us in all aspects of the game. Might have been a bit closer with a different starting lineup/tactics, but I doubt the result would have been different. The margin of the loss might have been tighter, but I suspect Leicester were always going to be too good for us.

Leicester supporters were really good. Many of them approached me in the Kings Head after the game and genuinely said how disappointed they were that Town were being relegated. They spoke with humility and affection for Town and Town fans. They said how much they enjoyed proper football supporters, a great atmosphere and terrific beer. (They might have, but chose not to, mentioned that they invariably win as well!) Shame they were total bellends during the game Couldn't agree more, TBWAH the decent lad who is a Spurs fan did say on here a few days ago Leicester fans were the worst for being the "only" team to have won the league, you can see what he meant. Champions of England, you'll never sing that ? You can get away with it at Hartlepool but it's a bit rich against a team that's done it 3 times, 3 times more than you have for that matter. It probably didn't help them when everyone joined in with Don't Worry......the Championship!s gonna be alright and everyone standing when they tried taunting Stand up if you're going down. They might have been a decent bunch in the pub but as a group inside the ground, first class wankers.

Yellow card was correct. Tbf they then showed one of Sideshow Bob at Arsenal, almost identical to Mounie v Brighton except he connected with the top of the Everton lads ankle/foot. Apparently it was only a yellow because he was pulling out of the tackle, well so was Mounie but that didn't matter then 😡

Only if you're going for the ball, if the ref thinks you're not trying to get it he can still give a red card

They have very short memories - they forget that it isn't too long that they were playing Championship football themselves and that they broke FPP rules to get promoted and that they were responsible for the 10 point penalty for going into administration.

How many games have they both played, I’d be amazed if Vardy has played a “lot” more games (for similar reasons that you’re surprised that Vardy has scored more goals, because me too!) Lineker played 190 odd games and Vardy 230 odd.
