I'm in the 4th season of a save with Leuven currently. Doing Top proud with 2 league titles and now in the Champions League last 16. With Leicester down in the Championship, surely I should now be the parent club! I usually do 20+ season saves at one club but probably won't be doing that here. The starting squad needed a lot of work and was a fun challenge early on. Sadly as I've got my team a lot better, everybody else has got worse. Anderlecht have had huge financial problems and have moved on a lot of players. They are 15th on the current table. The other main clubs have also sold a few better players each every season. I will look to move on when a club make me a job offer that interests me. Screenshots are where we are just ahead of January 2024 and our CL group table this season. To be honest, the league is just too easy for me.

If a team is doing really well then the manager gets linked with jobs. If a team isn't doing well then he's linked with the sack. That's football. I know which rumours I prefer.

Watched Slavia Prague play in this competition a couple of years ago. They achieved the almost impossible by beating Sevilla over 2 legs. Sadly they've lost a few players since then but still deserve some respect.

Got to say I'm delighted with the performance and result. I'm usually optimistic but I was worried ahead of this game mainly because our 1st choice back four were all absent. I clearly shouldn't have been! What made me most proud was the team ethic and that was the simple reason why we were so good in this game. The players deserve total credit. I've always liked Fuchs but this may be his best ever performance for us. Played well, did everything to help Thomas, showed true professionalism and his experience was crucial. Mendy was everywhere. Tielemans looks a few levels above last season. Under totally unselfish and intelligent. I could go on. Praise is due to every man tonight.

Already has more skill than Afonso Alves

Jamie Vardy has equalled the record with goals in all 5 visits to West Brom. Van Nistelrooy scored in all 5 visits to Newcastle.

So we should have released him and spent money on someone else to sit on the bench for most league games? It's nothing to do with ambitions. There are just bigger issues that do need spending money on.

Apparently we will look for clarity tomorrow. We will find out very quickly because we have a game on Wednesday and a weekend home fixture. ESPN have also suggested that we may have to play home matches at neutral venues.

If next season needs cutting back a bit then European competitions won't be those impacted. The money involved is so high. UEFA will be desperate to keep them normal. It's a lot more likely that FA Cup replays get scrapped and the League Cup doesn't run for a season. If a bit more time needs saving then the UEFA Nations League could possibly be cut from the schedule as well to reduce international breaks. In Europe, there could be a smaller winter break just covering Christmas and New Year. Nothing I've said is perfect but everybody may need to sacrifice a bit to get the season played and to help the calendar return to normal.

Can always trust our club to do the right things. Great to see that the NHS and local charities will get support from the club too. LCFC isn't just our club, it is a big part of our community too.

Had £5 e/w on Leverkusen to win the Europa. They were 25/1 before the last 32 stage with most firms. Thought it was a great price.

Benjamin Mendy of Man City is also now in self isolation after a family member was admitted to hospital showing symptoms. Surely the league has to be suspended asap.

The names that have come back to me are Soyuncu, Amartey and Perez. The guy who told me is usually spot on with news but that said it hasn't ever been coronavirus.

Ryan Bennett was a regular for 1 and a half seasons for Wolves in the Premier League. We all know Wolves have done well since being promoted and surely he contributed to that. Bennett can't be as bad as many on here seem to think. This is a loan deal and we should be open minded. Let's see how he does. We might be surprised.

Really hoping it is Coventry that we play. Both sets of fans would be up for that. I have also missed our derby games since returning to the Premier League. There has been such a lack of them that we've had to endure Sky inventing rivalries for us.
