I’d heard that it would cost us £50m to get rid but couldn’t quite believe it, with the rumours that he accepted a reduced compensation deal to get out and assuming the £35m is correct it was quite possibly and staggeringly true after all.

First too replies

Just sitting here thinking saints are shit and there’s no way they win today then pop up with a second. They need to sort out this playing around at the back as they are absolutely going to get caught out today. Nearly caught out a few times already.

Quite possibly true. Many years ago a man u fan I know wondered into the pub with his tigers shirt on. Said hello to him and noticed a man u pin badge on his tigers scarf. Asked him why he supported tigers to which he proudly proclaimed “it’s my local team” I then pointed at the man u badge and asked why the fvck he supported them them. Obviously he had no answer and mumbled spluttering into his beer.

Hubris. They've become so full of themselves thinking they can just knock the ball around and win matches, believing their own hype so much that they've taken their eye off the ball while other teams have been working us out.

When a young boy my parents used to go church and me and my brother would go Sunday school. For the first part of the church service us kids in the Sunday school would sit in the church before going back in to the hall to draw and paint and make things. One day the Minister at the front stopped his sermon and asked the kids for something to pray for. Numerous hands shot up including my own. While he listened to a list of kids wanting prayers for their sick pets or grandma’s operation I patiently waited my turn. Eventually he got to me and asked what I wanted to pray for to which I replied “can we pray that Leicester win the league”. I can’t really remember too much about the incident but when my parents told me the story I think they were proud. Took a while but the big man got round to my prayers in the end.

Aldi do a nice coffee stout, also a biscotti ale. They used to do a toffee ale which was nice. Also last summer they did a peach and elderflower summer ale which were really nice on a hot day, especially the peach.

That banana bread beer is lovely, especially on a hot day, I rarely go in Asda now but when I do I always have to go and get some.

Pay them in all your small shrapnel, then take as long as you like while they count it. #getridofallyoursmallchangeatthesupermarketsoitgivesyoutimetopackyourbagswhiletheycountit.

What a load of bollocks. The cynic in me feels that it’s a desperate attempt to generate a fear that “only the tories can quash” and swing back lost votes ahead of an election that they’ll get hammered in if they don’t do something desperate.

The year after we won the league I used to love walking down towards the ground and seeing the big long champions banner hanging from the side near the family stand. You could see it from the top of the road as you turned the corner. Would be great if we replaced it with one of Wes lifting the trophy.

If it wasn’t for some poor refereeing and terrible finishing that would have been one of the most comfortable victories of the season.

Sublime assist from Daka, Vestergaard has been superb. Need to make those final balls and through balls count. The officials are cvnts.

I’m not that far in yet but it is certainly bleak, the writing really evokes feelings positive and negative towards the characters, and the scenes set are grim.

Listening to this audio book on BorrowBox. Really enjoying it so far, the author sets the scene and develops the characters wonderfully in a poverty ridden Glasgow broken by thatcher.

Wouldn’t this come down to the catering company they use, compass I think it is. Also I take it the advertised abv on the menu boards isnt 2.8%. If so would it give the club reason to get rid of the shit caterers and set something decent up in replacement?

“Sometimes we use the ball to defend” This is what I found so fascinating about the second half on Tuesday. The first ten minutes of the second half wednesday came out the traps and tried to apply pressure, watching how we eventually managed to slow and kill their momentum by winning and keeping the ball was great to watch, along with the work rate (especially Mav and Fats) to win it back.

Agree, my daughter is coached to play like this, to be technically good in tight areas and play through the press. I think they’d rather them play like this and make mistakes instead of panicking and booting it long, giving away possession repeatedly.

It's like the opening credits to scooby doo were the ghosts hand reaches out from behind the curtains to grab shaggy just as he walks away from him.

They have to stand in a wheelie bin while the opposition substitutes throw rotten tomatoes at them for ten minutes.

This, inform clubs over the summer of what will and won’t be tolerated and enforce them from the first whistle of the season. There may well be a flurry of red and yellow cards the first couple of games but it will soon change when clubs are missing players through suspension and managers start to insist they behave.

They did this some years back but it seemed to get forgot about halfway through the season and refs just stopped doing it. I agree though, however I’d make the slight alteration that the ball can be moved forward up to 10 yards. For example moving the ball forward from 28 yards to 18 from the goal may not be such an advantage for the free kick taker being so close, so if the player chooses he can bring it forward just 5 yards for example to 23 and giving him a better chance of getting the ball up and down over the wall.

Sounds good in principle until you get rat face fernandez chasing and harassing the ref all game with no punishment only for the ref to then blue cards winks the first time he questions a decision.

I don’t want to put the cat among the pigeons, and I can’t remember which game it was, but Enzo was clearly heard shouting forward earlier in the season.

I was talking to a stoke season ticket holder last week, he wasn’t looking forward to yesterdays game , but he said that the atmosphere isn’t anything like it used to be, really lacklustre, they get about 22k but everyone tends to sit back up in the stands so it always looks empty on tv.
