Going to Chesterfield is no excuse to leave early!

The classic 22:06 to St Pancras. Everytime I take it it seems to be late and merges into the next one so nobody knows which train they have tickets for.

Awful people. In my job (Leicester fan) I meet a lot of them unfortunately.

It's an Anglo-Saxon country at the end of the day so they need to constantly rank things in a quite autistic way.

Yes but with association football when Marcin Wasilewski crunches into some poor winger just out of the youth team we don't sit around stroking our chins and saying what great "football IQ" he's got

I know the Americans like to intellectualise their sport but I am sorry, you don't need an incredible amount of intelligence to play defensive tackle.

In football, any code of football, I would say skill entails doing something with the ball. I believe kicking a field goal takes greater skill than blocking, though that's totally subjective and we're getting into semantics. But as you said, there are "skill positions" in gridiron football which are not the lineman. Agree to be honest that NFL kicking isn't that hard either considering it's always from the same place and usually not that far out.

True, forgot about that in my tiredness this morning. Still, game could've panned out differently from there.

My tongue is not in my cheek. I don't doubt that the lineman put everything physically and emotionally into a game, and I accept they are maybe the most important position after the QB, but there's no real skill involved.

Kickers were great. 3 50+ yarders including a record. Some good punts too. I know it's not quite as hard as rugby kicking but still think they deserve more credit considering they are (I think?) the highest scorers on the team and are obviously more skilled than some huge guy that's good at falling on people.

I quite enjoy it at times, but it is absurd how little actual play you get. I think something like 10 minutes in about 3-4 hours all in all.

Me usually: The US is far from perfect but I'd much rather have it as the global hegemon than any of its rivals, and I appreciate the security that being part of NATO brings us. Me when I go on a UK newspaper's website and read "Taylor Swift introduces Jason Kelce to Ice Spice after jetting in from Tokyo":

Pretty common I imagine. I remember reading that when they were searching for remains of the shuttle that burned up over Texas in 2003, they solved two unsolved murders cases.

Headline makes it sound like he did it in one game.

I'm glad I can rarely understand what he's saying because the stuff I do understand is about as funny as a house fire

Thought it was a pretty perfect performance away at a relatively good side until Winks' mistake.

Concourse shop was a bit of a letdown. Ran out of pies before h/t ffs

Lord give me the self belief of Scousers.

There are penalties and penalties. When I think back to Nugent's it was like the goalkeeper dived out of the way for half of the ones he scored. Daka really buries them.

Yeah fair point about United. Though there was a time when it seemed like we always lost to them. And I think the win in 2011 was the first at Bramall Lane in decades.

Never confident when we play a team from Sheffield

He's so good. Sure he's not perfect, like any other player. But everything he does - passing, positioning, blocking, finishing - he does better than anybody else on the pitch. And as others have said he also seems like a top guy. I love him and I love that he plays for Leicester.

Thought Ricardo was great as ever. Privilege watching him play for Leicester

I think both teams are far enough ahead of the others that they'd win the playoffs.
