Are people really worried about reform taking seats? IIRC UKIP got 4 million votes and only managed 1 seat. I know the tories are crashing and burning but I'd be surprised to see Reform getting any genuine traction.

I didn't see this but I assume you found the clue I'm annoyed I wasn't closer on 5, I thought I was going to be within a hundred metres or so as I was there a few years ago.

I was thinking breweries with taps. Shame if there aren't any, thought they were becoming more popular in general as there have been quite a few pop up in Liverpool in recent years.

Anyone got any recommendations for any brewpubs in Leicester?

I wonder if we're returning to the days of us, West Ham and Everton constantly being linked to the same players..

Taking us on is a free hit for a manager. Go down swinging on somewhere around 35-45 points and there likely won't be any reputational damage. Keep us up and it will be heralded as a great job with a club with potential.

Have I missed something or is there a managererial version of Iheanacho who wears shiny white reeboks and tells fans to FOAD? Sounds glorious.

I'm pretty sure there were articles at the time Potter left Chelsea about how he wanted a little break after the Chelsea job because of the impact of the spotlight/press shenanigans.

My sister just booked flights from Aus to come home next week for 2 weeks - buzzing to see her! First time she's come back since she moved out 6 years ago and only the 2nd time I've seen her since then!

A bet is a bet. Have you performed the op yet?

Thoughts on it?

I think they've made that up. I'm pretty sure Potter said when he got the sack he was taking time off because of the impact the Chelsea gig had on him and his family. Potter never struck me personally as someone that arrogant but surely no-one thinks they are entitled to a national team job like that are they.

When he was describing it I couldn't help but think he remembered an awful lot of detail, not usually what you expect from someone denouncing something like that...

Was never a fan of RVN when he was a player but now he's got rid of the floppy locks, got a beard and wears nice glasses I think I like him. Would rather we rolled the dice a little than went with one of the usual suspects

That's not going to happen is it though, the points deduction isn't going to be decided when we start pre-season and we can't afford to wait. Also, I think from a managers point of view the upside to taking us on is that it is a free hit reputation wise. Keep us up with the squad we have, minimal budget and a points deduction and you will be widely heralded. We go down and it is probably framed as unfortunate but not a failure and it's what a good chunk of the fans expect. No doubt its difficult and there may be more enticing jobs out there, but what is there to lose?

I'm disappointed as I wanted to see what we could do with Enzo in the PL. What concerns me is our next appointment and the fact that we don't have continuity, which I think is an often ignored or downplayed aspect of things. That said, maybe with the compo and an opportunity to reutilise some assets who haven't had much of a chance under Enzo we can manage to survive.

I would strongly recommend taking a leap of faith and telling your partner. In my experience, people were without fail more understanding and accepting of how I felt than I thought they would be, even if they didn't all "get it", exactly. I obviously don't know your partner but I'm sure she would want to do anything within her power to help you feel better. You're stronger than you think you are mate, persevere and try and find an outlet for your feelings. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

I don't think many people are really clamouring for him to be 1st choice CB but Souttar was only signed in January to a team in turmoil. I think it's pretty harsh to judge him on the small amount of playing time he has had in such circumstances. The other point is that we need to be frugal, and every new player we need comes with the difficulty of paying a fee. We're already tied to Souttar for the time being, I think people are just advocating we utilise our existing assets as best as we can and perhaps give the lad a proper chance.

I absolutely loved cars as a kid. Whiled away many hours on my bedroom floor making engine noises whilst moving my matchbox collection around. If I won the lottery one of the first things I would buy would be something very fast. That said, I drive a 57 plate golf with 107k on the clock and unless it fails me (electrics most likely) I doubt it'll be replaced for some time. I don't know what I will do when I have to either, I drive less and less these days and live in a flat so electric may be a struggle.

There have been articles about this before, sounds like more of a cash flow issue than a PSR one.

I bet it's terrible.

Congrats. Freecycle - you need to be on it regularly to get anything good but I've had a few bits over the years. Depending on what your taste is and how quickly you want to get everything sorted it might be worth looking for local antique type/second hand warehouse places.

I think this is the key thing. Way too much being read into all this press/pr stuff, most of it is just noise.

What an incredibly satisfying goal. The simplicity, the noise of the kick and the header, the cleanliness, Huth's technique. It's brilliant, before you even touch on the circumstances.
