  1. We are living thru the most glorious period in our club’s long history, and someone actually thinks a poll on “who’s to blame the most” is worth airing. Give yourself a good talking to.
  2. Did anyone notice that they were really quite good?
  3. Heads up son. We’re going to be playing all the good, and shite teams, twice this season.
  4. Once they scored the opener and then got very lucky with the second, it was always going to be hard to break them down with the players we had out today. Of course media have them as world beaters today, and you can buy that if you wish. If we played them tomorrow, I’d back us all day long.
  5. Left footed shot from outside box to top left corner.
  6. If he had gone to Arsenal, he would not be the player he has become. Arsenal is where promising players go to regress, whereas we appear to be exceptional at nurturing young talent.
  7. They have been reclaimed from an old building. Were any buildings damaged/demolished in the accident?
  8. It’s just simulation by Origi as it was by Sane. Neither contacts were sufficient to cause them to go over. Sane did it because he wanted a last minute penalty, Origi cause he had a heavy first touch. Not quite Karma, as neither should have been given, but I take great joy in their manager’s despairing outrage.
  9. Precisely. Both relatively minor non-malicious incidents that will occur in every game worldwide. Tielemans is simply putting his body across the ball which happens to involve his foot returning to the ground. It’s a standard movement, which is supported by the fact that virtually no one in the stadium responded.
  10. Bangkok goes straight to the Derby. Cue huge media interest, because of the tragic football related back-story.
  11. Wonderful to see the King Power horse “Fox Chairman” make his debut at Newbury yesterday, being heavily backed and bolting up, in the style of a proper future group horse.
  12. Just so special being by L1 singing this yesterday, especially when Top stopped to appreciate it/us at the end. As a tribute song I feel it gets lost a bit, immediately after “one of our own” with the next 2 lines having nothing really to do with Vichai. If we could swap in something like:- ”With Top by his side.... Our hearts filled with pride” before belting out out the “Champions of England, you made us sing that” it just makes it more about him, which I guess is the whole idea. ???
  13. Everyone seems happy, so best not to educate, by explaining the actual financial reality.
  14. There are no bargains once a player is well known. Agents are not idiots. Add up all the costs over the contract length, divide by the contract years, and you’ll find all similar players actually cost about the same per year.
  15. Simpson is a good right back. Amartey is young, quick, strong, cracking trainer and character, a better footballer than Simpson, just a little inexperienced. Maguire can play well in that position. Seems the club have this position in hand. Why do so many on here demand for multiple un-named solutions? How many options can you expect in a 25 man squad?
  16. Like many on here I am very interested in Harvey's progress so made the journey to Burton to watch Barnsley on Tuesday night. Despite scoring in the last couple of minutes he was very peripheral throughout and was a little bullied by Jake Buxton. He's a good clean runner, sharp, turns well, good control but a little lightweight as you'd expect for a nineteen year old and did not get involved as much as you'd like to see after a few "borderline" challenges from Buxton. He will have learnt a lot from the game and the manager obviously has a lot of time for him otherwise he would've been taken off earlier. The average age of the barnsley team was only 23 so I'm sure he'll enjoy his football there and I'd say that it's probably the perfect place for him for the year. I hope he goes on to be a superstar for us but despite his promise he a looked a fair way off the standard we need right now.
