The People's Hero

I agree that this is probably how it would look (maybe £25m), but this does make me wonder if MCFC would also go back and negotiate with Burnley.

Are you insane? Look at the basic standard of intellect here. The Foxes Trust is (depending on day of the week) a trumped up quasi-mouth-piece of the club, a news aggregator, regurgitating stuff from the football world and jumping on trends about 4 years after they began and 3 1/2 years after they became irrelevant or chief-information disseminators in stating the bleeding obvious, but the average foxestalk poster they ain't. If Mark ever put in to place my favoured approach of an IQ test on membership application and then Foxestalk Junior for those scoring poorly and Foxestalk Senior for those amongst us who aren't complete blathering idiots, then maybe you'd have a strong point here, but all the while we are dragged down by the dullards, then.... no.

This has got permanent deal with buyback clause written all over it.

Has Oscar Bobb gone anywhere this window or featured at all for Man City in pre-season? I felt that he and Doyle were a no-brainer. Maybe MCFC didn't want Bobb to go, but I can't see that just playing for their academy is his best bet?

I've had a tuna wrap, which was a bit of a palaver because we're on holiday and in a lodge thing and I had to walk to two separate shops. It was a really good tuna wrap though. And I did it for you lot because it guarantees that Nacho scores. Remember that before you ban me again. Does this mean I accept a ban if Nacho doesn't score? Perhaps it does. Anyone got any tuna wrap recommendations? This is what I went for: - Tuna steak in sunflower oil - Smoky mayonnaise; from Forager fox or whatever, thinks its made from Avocado. Really lovely. Fell in love with it in keto days and never went back - Tabasco sauce - White pepper - Green peppers - Cherry tomatoes - Cucumber - Celery - Red Onion. - Wholewheat wrap. Served with a nice wedge of aged Red Leicester, a pork & pickle pie, some artichoke and some large spicy pickled onions. No wonder I'm fat. If Nacho doesn't score, I'll change up the recipe, but I have to say, it was a lovely lunch so if you take nothing else away from today, at least you have a great meal. And if we DO win and Nacho scores, then I want us all eating it. I wonder if @Ric Flair could work on a 'Nacho' inspired pizza working with the above. I'm sure he can. He might not want to, but the gauntlet is down, Ric, and I've never known you pass up a gauntlet. Peace out brothers and sisters - and for later on, when I express my opinions on the match, please remember that opinions can't hurt you and you don't all need to rush to the report button to get me banned because I don't have the same man-crush on your crush (less competition right?) or because I think differently to you. Variety is the spice of life, as we all know - so for the butter chicken boys, just hover over the button until you feel suitably 'manned up' and powerful and important and then don't actually click it, which actually is the real grown up thing to do. I'm now wondering how many people will report this; I bet I can name at least three. Enjoy the game boys. OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH IWAN IS A WELSHMAN

Before I run out of posts ( I get 8 or 10 a day ) or get banned ( I’ve not been banned in about 6 days so overdue ) I want to put on record that I like Maresca. I’m prepared for this to be quoted back at me by a spotty incel in 2029 when we go on a 4 game losing streak.

Your disapproval of my opinion probably sees me receive another random undeserved ban. Cheers maaaate. seriously though, you think he’s been good ? I mean I’m just holding him to the same standards as his team mates and his professionalism is not in question.

Albrighton - worrying signs. Doyle - looks a real player Nacho - get him committed +4 years

I’m squinting really hard and I still don’t know.

ND10?

Maresca’s magic wand.

Yeah this is also my takeaway so far.

Someone said to me last week ‘I wish I had a pound for everytime you have a beer’ and I said ‘well, so do I’ and she said ‘well I thought of it first’ as if a) it was witty b) possible and c)exclusive. don’t worry love. I’m not making it a 50p each thing. It’s just a think people say. also I now realise that when I said ‘so do I’ I could have been wishing she got a pound. Not that I got a pound. If there is some genie/ god out there I hope I’ve not wasted by one chance.

Jimmies rustled.

I’ve heard he’s injured. I heard it in this thread ( I read every post aloud in a different voice for each poster ) and I thought I’d share. So could be injured. You heard ( if you also read every post alloys) it here, but you definitely didn’t hear it here first ( unless you’re talking about the first reply ). He’s our very own VK blue and VK blue is horrific. Bin. Injured.

Agreed Do we think Stolarczyk on bench is indicative that Iversen/Ward are off or purely that Maresca favours him ? Also- it’s good to be back. Whoever just keeps reporting my perfectly reasonable posts to get me banned, please get a life.

'ello mate! How's things in Grebland? Hopefully no wildfires over there. Keep safe, Grebby. Might visit in November.

Kit looks nice though, so its about medium overall?

And was incorrectly flagged offside when about to score.... so yeah, swings and roundabouts eh?

Hopefully Enzo has now had a long enough look at Vestergaard. Can't even win simple balls in the air against tiny forwards.

You're spot on here mate, especially if we're zipping the ball about quickly as well

Pre Season Friendly and all that, but Vestergaard has just been beaten in the air by Jota.

I have been known to sort insurances for our players including one icon who remains at the club. I always place insurances for one of our current player’s cousins who is a broker. I’ve also looked at our own club’s insurances a few times. Insured Ian Holloway’s son’s tattoo parlour. Wasn’t on it when he got tied up and it got burnt down but I wasn’t fair off. Spoke to Ian a few times. From memory he had just relegated us. I didn’t mention it. Upset Peter Canero at a player of the year do by asking if he goes to many games or something like that. He had to explain he was Peter Canero. The lads thought it was hilarious which I suppose you would. Went drinking with a few of the guys after that event most of the years I went. They were generally nobs. Levi Porter, Jordan Stewart and Ian Walker stick in the mind as wallies. Steve Guppy extremely quiet. Steffan Freund hugely delighted about just existing. Also got a surprising distance with Les Ferdinand’s player of the year trophy before being asked if I’d mind giving it back when outside the stadium. Have met and had a few decent chats with Tony Cottee who has some excellent stories about his time at our club and is a gentleman. Same with Paul Konchesky although he’s a lot less interesting, intelligent and not so much of a gentleman. Never meet your heroes guys !!! Met loads of our current players and ex players ( you’ll know the mob I mean I’m sure ) at horse racing. The unlimited booze area bits. The current ones had loads of security/ minders and kept themselves to themselves. The older players got absolutely blind drunk and were having a wonderful time. No woman in there was safe to be honest. It does seem though that most young ladies maybe don’t know who 45+ year old ex lcfc players are. Similarly I met Leon Osman at a similar event who was brilliant and stayed after his mates went and drank then danced with us. That was actually a really good day. I had been sick that day and was ‘comforted’ by Alan Pardew who had the worst clothes on I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of this velvet / suede get up needed a bit of a dry clean after that as he got a bit too involved. It was about 35 degrees that day as well. I don’t know what he was thinking. Alan Pardew is NOT a fan of Brendan Rodgers. My mate is a Newcastle fan but pretended to be an Everton fan and I think leon Osman and he even stayed in touch for a bit. I’m still sticking with Phil gee’s brother as my lead story though. Owns or runs a shop somewhere near some overpriced and shit holiday house or resort I stayed at in the UK. I’m going to say the new forest but could easily be Devon or Cornwall. It would be good if he could post on here to clarify. I cringe at pretty much all of these. Thank god I have no energy any more. I could do a longer thread about county cricketers past and present but I think I need a lie down and to have a proper think about that first. Leicestershire wise I have an almost unbelievable one.

I call BS on this. Doesn’t sound like Lennon at all ? Unless you didn’t have a wee ?

I met Phil Gee’s brother once when I was on holiday. If anyone can top that, I’ll be very surprised.
