Against West Brom at home the season before last, when he blocked 2 shots on the goal line, one with his hair
-
and 3) We played Ipswich and Southampton and both had a man sent off, enabling us to get 4 points No club has snapped up Cooper since November. Perhaps he´s happy sitting at home with his cash from the 2 sackings

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff
DJW1 replied to davieG's topic in General Chat
I only come to Leicester for the football. Of the three East Midlands cities, I think Nottingham is the nicest (sorry), then Leicester then Derby. The proposed market development looks quite nice, but let´s see how it turns out. Leicester market isn´t too bad, despite the bowl system of selling the produce (is it legal?), but could now be housed in a smaller site. -
My first game, aged 5, against Newcastle in 71. Many memories, including Keith Weller in his wife's tights against Norwich in Jan 79. And of course 5-2 against Shrewsbury in 82

Stephy Mavididi (no real rumour, some clubs "interested.")
DJW1 replied to Tuna's topic in Transfer Talk
At the time Rodgers suggested that Lookman was mentally weak, perhaps explaining why they didn't sign him -

Back in Spain, he's done very well. It seemed to me that they signed him without thinking where to play him. He would have done better in a front two. -
Yes, next season may well be a rebuilding year, hopefully with the introduction of younger players brought through the ranks and perhaps bought from the lower divisions. A promotion challenge would be a bonus, but I could live without one so long as progress is made. I only hope the fans don´t start getting on the new players´backs if they make mistakes that cost us goals or points. As for a new manager, I have no suggestions, but I think there needs to be one to give the fans (and players) some enthusiasm. Imagine starting the new season with Ruud in charge and Daka up front.

These days Remembrance Day has become Remembrance Month (and even Year, for the people who have a big poppy on their cars all year). In the case of Pride, like Christmas, Halloween etc., it´s probably a case of getting people to spend more money.

I never really liked Vardy (or Dickov or Savage) The football we played under Maresca was not boring
-
It was fitting that Walsh got the winner after battling back from his ACL injury early in the season. He was my hero, not just because he was a big tough (and sometimes nasty) centre half but also because he was brave, having to have many operations just to keep playing. He actually wrote in a matchday programme that he couldn´t stand Derby.
-
He also picked Choudhury at CB one game. The decline started 8 days after we won the FA Cup, when we lost to Spurs and so didn´t qualify for the CL. Poor summer signings and then a loss of interest from Rodgers seemed to cause a general malaise to set in among the othe rplayers and the fans.
-
I think they should play games only in the UK: 1) so they don´t reward the players for last season´s shambles with a week in the Alps, and 2) to reduce costs Next season, also to reduce costs, get rid of the clappers and the pre-game flame throwers

Fans’ heroes through the ages (well from 1966).
DJW1 replied to OnlyOneCity's topic in Leicester City Forum
Andy Lochhead, Weller, Peter Weir, Walsh, Matt Elliott, Gary Mac, Rooster Russell, Izzet, Lennon I suppose Norman Leet was a cult hero The late Kevin Campbell was only here a few months but became extremely popular and did a lap of honour to a standing ovation after his final game. -
Vardy, Ward and Iversen to leave at the end of the month.

That would have been a good photo for the spot the ball competitions (do they still exist?). Nobody would have got it right -
Thank you Odsonne, wherever you are

I was a season ticket holder but after the infamous Sheffield United game I gave up hope of going up and booked a holiday in Spain for the play-off weekend. Serves me right! I was there at Hillsborough though when Super Steve´s other volley won the League Cup
-
At Aldershot (I should know, I´ve read the book 3 or 4 times! Highly recommended)
-
Funnily enough I think they won the play-off final 1 year later, against poor old Sheffield United, with a goal in the 88th minutes
-
Well said. We had a great time in 1996-2001 and even better in 2015-2021. This club has been run badly in the last 3-4 years but look at other clubs of a similar size that have been shambolic: Cov, Derby, Sheff Wed, Birmingham etc.

Premier League has charged LCFC with an alleged breach of PSR
DJW1 replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I know nothing about business, but the concept of LCFC being a subsidiary business of King Power seems a bit strange. Let´s say LCFC makes a profit of 10 M excluding sponsorship, but add on 10 M in KP sponsorship to make a profit of 20 M, which finally goes back to KP. So that 10 M is just going round and round, to and from KP. To my mind it might as well be 50 pence or 50 M -
He had to take his dog for a walk
-
I thought that KDH might have come seeing as he only works on Thursday nights
-
The last time I saw him playing for Palace he was in central midfield. We could do worse than sign him in the summer, given his versatility
-
Was that him with the shaven head?
