The composition of olive oil, and some other oils, is healthier than that of lard and dripping. Partly to do with the polyunsaturated fatty acids content and partly the content of phenolic compounds. The downside is the cost, so use it in moderation.

Don't take the p out of Skipp

You got there before I did 😃

1. I don´t think we deliberately sat deep and tried to hold onto the lead, we were just unable to keep the ball for more than 5 seconds, allowing Boro to dominate possession. This from a team of experienced players. Example: from the free kick after their man was sent off, we (Ayew) had lost the ball within 5 seconds. 2. Do they ever practice throw-ins? Other teams, like Boro, take a throw and 3 seconds later they´ve got the ball under control and are building an attack. Nine times out of 10 we have lost the ball within 2 seconds of taking a throw. Can they not make runs infield to receive the ball or to leave space for a ball to feet? 3. What is wrong with Mavididi? In the 92nd min, his stupid attempted back flick to Daka on the half-way line (instead of controlling the ball and running with it) went straight to their centre half, setting up their next attack. He seems to have lost all confidence and interest.

I understand, you want to be there for Daka's testimonial season 😃

Both of them played for us, Wayne played under Pleat I think
-
Basically, if they can't beat a mediocre team like Blackburn at home then the future looks bleak. I was in block H, among the booers and the clappers. I did neither

TV punditry, World Cup next year

I agree with your statements and your ideal team. Perhaps the model to follow is that of Sunderland (without the relegation to League 1!). They brought through young players while challenging for promotion to the PL. They had to sell a couple to balance the books but are now seeing the reward. Easier said than done of course.

It began in the 60s when some blokes used to sing it in a pub before the game, and then started to sing it in the ground. I think I read that in the 5000-1 book from 2016.

Daka's lack of improvement in 4 years also reflects very badly on the coaches and managers who've been at the club in that time
-
I hope I´m wrong but perhaps we are skint and had no budget to pay for Kone or anyone else, so we just signed loan players.

His right foot is fine so he should go down the outside occasionally

I've not heard anything, just the sound of silence -
Perhaps the only good thing about Hamilton is that he signed Steve Walsh
-
Just checked, Bright signed in 84 and Sealey in 85.
-
I'd forgotten about Moran. Alan Smith had signed for Arsenal and stayed til the end of the season, but perhaps mentally he was already at Highbury
-
To be fair to Hamilton we´d sold Gary Lineker the previous summer for 800,000 (but we replaced him with Tony Sealy for 50,000)
-
For me (born in 1966) it´s probably Bryan Hamilton (1986-7). He inherited a decent team from Gordon Milne and took us down to the then Division 2 and had us in the relegation zone there the following season until he was replaced in December by David Pleat. McClintock was our 2nd worse manager. As commented before, Taylor started very well but it fell apart after the Wycombe game. Pleat was great in the first half-season but the defence became a shambles and he had to go to prevent relegation to Div 3. In a couple of those cases the fans wanted rid of the previous manager (Bloomfield before McClintock and Milne before Hamilton) even though they´d done pretty well.

How much money has King Power invested in LCFC?

Thanks to everyone who has contributed some facts here. The situation is clearer now for me.
