1. Vardy back at the top of the goal scoring charts after the relegation season. Something relaxingly normal about it. 2. We had a wobble towards the end of the season, but we didn't capitulate and blow it. We rallied firstly with a huge late win against Birmingham, and then again to win three on the bounce when it mattered most. 3. As we achieved the above, Leeds United totally collapsing to assist us over the line. One of the most unpleasant fanbases in victory and in defeat. Delicious. 4. Fatawu. One of those players isn't he. Direct, pacey, strong, skilful, eye for the spectacular, personality, flair, and a big heart. 5. New grounds up and down the country. 6. Winks' winner at QPR. Cracking day out.

Schmeichel will very likely pick up his 100th cap for Denmark over this break too. He's on 99 caps and they've got friendlies against Switzerland and the Faroe Islands. You'd imagine Kasper plays the first game and maybe a chance for rotation to give Mads a first cap in the second.

Saw big Jannik at St Pancras this morning on my commute into work. Was catching an EMR train towards Leicester. Pleased to report he was on time and waiting in the queue. If he was late and had to run for the train, I wouldn't have fancied his chances of catching it.

I thought similar about Ward's potential next club being Wrexham. A few reasons it makes sense for them over any other club imo: 1) Their current #1 - Okonkwo - is on loan from Arsenal. They don't have a goalkeeper permanently on their books who is good enough for top end League 2 or higher. Howard is 37 years old and out of contract in the summer, Lainton is a sick note and out of contract in the summer, and their other goalkeeper is young and has never played in English football before. They'll need to do something there very soon. 2) Since their takeover they have made a big push to bring international football back to North Wales at the Racecourse, and put it 'on the map' for football a bit more. Signing a Welsh international would be a coup that continues that push. The Welsh international connection is the only reason I had any sort of optimism about the Cardiff rumours. 3) Ward is a Wrexham boy and was in their academy as a youth player before Liverpool. A return home might appeal. 4) Wrexham - if promoted to League 1 - have one of the more likely budgets to better bridge the financial gap between Ward's current contract versus what he'll be on when his time at Leicester is up. I agree with you that I don't see a Championship side or above taking him as a #1. Unless a bigger club picks him up as #3 for home grown GK cover, then I think he'll drop down to League 1. Wrexham standout as one of the sides who might take a punt. Feels like pipe dream stuff he voluntarily wants to go this summer and we can find a taker.
