Leicester getting to half time with 11 men

I had Super Striker. I think the keeper's arms extended when he dived. Luxury!

Leeds is the best of those cities. I was there last year and it´s the lack of greenery that made it a concrete jungle (like Birmingham). The indoor shopping centre, arcades and corn exchange are fine but the rest is a bit depressing. The nicest big cities in the UK are London, Cardiff and Edinburgh (Bristol has some good parts too). In general, the smaller British cities are more pleasant: Cambridge, Oxford, Chester, Bath, Lincoln, Durham etc.

It's a common change in UK cities. People have increasingly shifted to buying things on line or at large supermarkets. Now, in many cities there is a decent indoor shopping centre together with a small area of independent shops but the rest is fast food places etc. Leicester is one example. Others are Derby, Luton and Leeds.

I have a UK passport and the Spanish ID card for foreign residents. Perhaps It is a good job I haven't taken dual nationality. I can only vote in local elections, not national ones, but I can live with that.

I assume your daughter has dual nationality (you didn´t state it explicitly). If she does, then it seems she needs a UK passport to enter the UK. If she doesn´t then it seems she needs an EU (Bulgarian?) or UK passport. Is that correct? I recently applied for a new UK passport from Spain. It was easy and quick, but expensive. I don´t know the situation for children. I have a friend who lives in Sweden, as a dual national. He doesn´t have a UK passport any more and so can´t enter the UK. He has a Swedish passport but he can´t enter the UK with that (whereas 9 million passport-holding Swedes can!) There are some "ex pat" web pages that discuss these matters Good luck!

If he comes in and we finish 15th, we'll be running on the pitch to carry him on our shoulders, unless we get tasered by the KP ICE squad

That's what I expected 😃. I'll post again when the flak dies down. Is the problem that people have with Martin due to his playing style, his personality, his beard?

Based on his performance in the Championship (15th and 10th at Swansea, promotion at Saints), I'd be happy to have Russell Martin. Right now I don't care about the playing style, results are all that matter (although he did make a slow start at Saints)

A 3 points deduction and it's 50-50 whether we go down, depending on how the new signings do and when JJ returns A 6+ points deduction and it's Mansfield here we come. I hope I'm wrong

Peter Eastoe in 83-84. Newly promoted to the old Division 1, with about 2 points from 9 games before he arrived. Great ball control, back to goal. We stayed up with games to spare

A long time ago, but were they loans or signings? Both were quality players

The FA Cup game should be handy for trying out new players/positions/formations

I suppose that's what happened when we signed Cannon

Keith Weller

In the 70s, when we got our first phone, we shared a party line with the Christmas family across the street.

If Streeting or Burnham became PM then within a week people would be moaning they'd shifted to the right. The same would have happened if Corbyn had defeated May. Centre-left governments in the UK are under constant pressure from powerful lobbies, hostile media, the Americans etc. and often cave in on many policies

Is that Alan Waddle from the infamous 77-78 season? Who is his better family member?

The 1978-9 season, we nearly went down to old Div 3. It´s not a bad comparison with the current situation since we went down from Div 1 in 1978 with an aging, poor squad but stayed up in Div 2 wth a mixture of old and young. The following season we went up to Div 1! The difference is that the manager was Jock Wallace.

My brother´s plumber´s sister says she saw Allardyce in a kebab shop on the Narborough Road last night

A serious multi-million pound football club should have a permanent short list of potential managers to approach in case their current manager is sacked or poached. The sames goes for players. If a player is sold or suffers a serious injury, the club should already have a replacement identified. Does LCFC operate like that?

That MAY mean that he's going to sack Cifuentes

Do the home fans at other grounds applaud the away team's goalkeeper when he takes up his position before KO? This was usual, but doesn' t seem to happen at Leicester anymore.

Was Foster's a menswear "boutique", as they used to say in the 70s?

If JJ´s injury is going to keep him out for more than a month, they will HAVE to sign a CF and midfielder, to prevent relegation. Two new fullbacks would be ideal also. Unfortunately, I think the club is going to spend nothing, cross its fingers and hope we don´t go down
