Good. Another that’s just moaned about everything he could do during his time at Brighton.

What were they

They’re the best team in the playoffs but they’re outsiders. Make it make sense

2016 actually

First season back up, we just need to be better than 3 teams, maybe 4 over the course of 38 games.

Which was fine because we didn’t try and dominate the ball and leave the centre halves exposed and instead sat deep and played on the counter. How many times this season were we playing and Vestergaard was the deepest outfield player, and he was on the halfway line? Plenty. You only need to see the two Blackburn goals as a prime example. Enzo must find that way like you say, but if this season is anything to by with his comments, that’s unlikely to change any time soon.

Gomez looked offside there for me with the naked eye.

Both been dreadful games so far

The build up to the euros 😍

Apparently so…. Personally I think 8.

Apparently can’t be 9 as that’s what you get for admin.

I’m very against us travelling halfway around the world during pre season but with our situation we find ourselves in, if it’s gonna pay then so be it. Take me back to the days of Penzance away.

He’s a Forest fan, always going to have a bit of bias.

The players usually are all there and in by 1130. Last time I went (QPR Home) I got there at 10am, and every player walked down the line and had photos and autographs, bar 3/4 that get dropped directly at the player entrance. You can stand at the barriers in front of turnstiles 1-6/media entrance rather than the car park. Obviously you can wait post game too, but the crowds are a lot bigger and you may miss out, which is why I prefer going before. It’s a lot more relaxed.

Far from perfect, far from holier than thou. I judge on what I see with my own eyes. Everyone has a choice whether to take drugs or not take drugs. Lived on an estate for 27 years, with many friends or people I knew that have lead themselves down the wrong path, I just chose not to go down that path.

Fair play but I hope they lose one game because you’ll never hear the end of it

They’re easy to get if you go pre game. Been a few times this season the players will happily stop for photos and autographs. But only Saturday 3pms as any other time they travel from Seagrave and get straight off the coach.

In!

It’s fairly easy to tell. Plus walking through the town a hell of a lot, you get to know the ones that are drug users.

If there’s someone that’s genuinely homeless and sleeping rough, I’ll chuck them whatever loose change I may have or even in the colder months get them something from Greggs. But for me the dregs of society who have brought on the situation they find themselves in by themselves I have zero time for, as well as them being quite unpredictable in regards as to what they might say or do and that’s me being quite streetwise. But imagine an elderly person on their own who they would see as an easy target would feel quite intimidated. Walking home from work last night, I crossed the road and the girl that walked past me used to live next door to me. She was lovely, actually quite attractive too. She’s now almost unrecognisable to the person she once was, she’s aged about 20 years, lost her teeth amongst other things. All for the sake of drugs. It’s such a sad and sorry state that some people find themselves in and I do wish that there was much more support and help out there for these people, but the problem is that they don’t want to help themselves.

Oh, I’m fully aware of that. But I’d much rather go somewhere else where that’s not going to happen and currently you don’t get that at Fosse park and it has pretty much everything there that the town centre has.

Had my AirPods in and could still hear the whole conversation. So annoying. Some people are so oblivious.

I hate people that speak on their phones using loudspeaker in public.

I used to love Leicester, partly because it was very easily accessible for me, and still very much is. But if I was going to shop, I’d much prefer Fosse Park now. Walking from the train station just 20 minutes ago, I walked past two blokes splitting whatever was in their little bag, with a bloke fast asleep next to them outside the Sainsbury’s. Then as I ventured down towards the council offices, one bloke is half way into a bottle of corona whilst two blokes are having a shouting match across the street at each other. Then as I walked past the metro bank one man is flat out on his back. All before 9:30am. It’s an awful place to walk through, let alone for people that might be vulnerable or have kids with them. It really grates on me that you cannot walk through the place without someone (usually an addict of some sort) asking you for money.

And this was the sole reason why we persisted with him for so long, we knew paying him off would have a major impact on the finances. Only getting rid when it was too late - I think had we sacked him even 4 games prior we would’ve stayed up. Yep maybe we would’ve been hit with a sanction but at least we’d have still been in the prem and not lost out on extra income we would’ve received this season. Then there’s the potential of keeping Barnes too.
