Another two weeks of the group stage at this tournament. Feckin hell, could have done a Test Match World Cup quicker -
Lovely stuff inject it into my veins.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-66851790 19th September - Avanti West Coast (and Crosscountry) awarded extensions to their railway franchises https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67257969 30th October - Avanti West Coast announce emergency timetable on London to Manchester, a reduction of 40% on a line which suffers badly from passenger congestion.

When I worked for LCC, if anything the staff were so over cautious about accepting anything perceived a bribe by third parties that they wouldn't even accept a cup of tea. The perceived corruption because of a few bad eggs - it's worth remembering Leicester has 54 councillors in total. Equally the scare of privatisation is a total myth as well. Birmingham City Council privatised a number of their services - staff were TUPE'd over to private employers. They equally spent a lot of money on private consultants from very well established, world known consultants and companies. In the case BCC they put a full tender out for their Building Commercial Services - no organisation would take it as a whole. Was a financial loser yet the council still needed to maintain hundreds of buildings. As Finners says though, that's part of the Council what can make money and can deliver - but there are simply areas which need greater funding and they are simply part of a service we which contribute in tax towards.

Bottom 3 PL..How do LCFC prevent this , next season…

Spend very big on a mobile centre back -
Worth mentioning too Wrexham could potentially pull in 16k and 20k with their North Wales catchment area. You’ll have to do incredibly well outside of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen to get those numbers in the SPL

Anyway he needs time out of the game. Get himself fit and healthy. A backroom role would suit him now I think but he’s very much into leadership and team building
-
That’s bollocks cos if there was anything he was excellent at was the eye for a player alongside Steve Walsh.

A lot of those properties you speak of there is no market appetite for renting such space. Anything but warehouse space is struggling to shift at the moment. It’s a tough gig cos councils feel a responsibility to go below market rate to fill them but then get burnt in five years time when the market rents have increased. The majority of councils own city centre offices and retail units - which simply lose money currently without major capital investment to alter or adapt their use. Affluent town centres near where I used to live - Solihull and Sutton Coldfield look bad currently but other areas to those towns are flourishing. Some councils are far better at the commerical property game. LCC didn’t use their cash reserves appropriately in that sense.

If you are taking into account the income generating culture premises, you have to acknowledge Leicester also has three large museums which are free to enter. Plus a couple of significant landmarks which require maintenance but can’t even have anyone go in them. Throw in the huge museum stores at Freemans Common which require temperature control etc. Thats just one sector alone. Libraries another example of free service which costs to run.

Genuinely think he’s more of a rugby fan than a football fan from reading into. Edit: just read a quote that said he was a football fan first, so I’m wrong on that. the references in that sacking article gave me a wry smile, this is a club what have always struggled to get into the top flight, historically.

Him and Paal easily their most technically accomplished players
-
I suggest on the QPR to look at how they used Dykes and trying to pin the non inverted full back with a right wing getting forward a lot. Something RovRum did quite well with Hugill and their right side
-
Yep
-
Also can the club can explain why two blocks - one each in the upper and lower were completely empty at kick-off? Like it was clearly apparent it was a block booking for some sort.
-
Btw we have issues with teams who play direct. Anyone with a big twat of striker has caused us problems.
-
Btw Choudhury was total bobbins and he’s not suited to that role in the slightest as he can’t take the ball on the half turn
-
Huddersfield looked to play right into their hands on the highlights. Very dangerous on the transition with the quality to finish far better than most teams. I wonder whether Farke tries a lcfc 15/16 type tactic

One of those fouls like when Kane does his non jump for a defender to fall poorly on their shoulders or neck. The punishment isn’t as heavy as it should be. But agree in the current laws of the game, he doesn’t get sent off but it was dangerous -
By the way that noise down South Africa road on way to tube post match was impressive. Haven’t heard anything like that outside of a ground in a long time
-
Another set of fans QPR who sing nothing original any more, nothing interesting. Just rent-a-chants stuff. Actually think our song book is beginning to be far more diverse than most which I can’t believe
-
You ain’t heard the Christian belief stuff apparently he waffles on about in the changing rooms yet tho
-
Incredible to think Leeds got rid of that kid at left back for Ipswich
-
Most talented of the six for me. Was superb in Studio 60 in the Sunset Strip

I had two of the worst pints I’ve had in my life earlier. I have drank a lot less in the last life. So become a bit more critical when I drink. The warning signings were there at Battersea Brewery (next to the power station) when it became apparent it was ran by Heineken. The unfiltered lager was flat and had about as much life in it as the King Power in midweek. They’d ran out of Pale Ales, so advised on this Spiced Pumpkin Ale, it was rancid. 0/10 - one of the worst pints and worst establishments I’ve been in
