I´m writing this after just a quick look at the previous comments, so excuse any repitition. The atmosphere at the KP depends a lot on where you sit. I`m usually in block H (quite good). I´ve also sat diagonally opposite, where there is virtually no atmosphere. I imagine that safe standing, on the Kop, would improve the atmosphere I don´t like it when our fans taunt the away fans after a goal, rather than celebrating. When we won the league I never used a clapper, so that turned into a superstition (it´s not working any more though!). They should ditch the clappers, flags and pre-match pyros to save money. They don´t boost the atmosphere - it just peters out in 5-10 mins. I don´t go to away games but the points system means that it´s the same 1500-3000 people every time. When I see our away fans on TV they look older and less excitable than the fans of other teams.

I think we´ll go 0-2 down then win 3-2 thanks to a Daka hat-trick and a penalty save in the 99th minute by Danny Ward. Oh good - the nurse is coming with my medication.

I posted yesterday that the fans who still go to away games (I don´t) could boycott them once we´re down. The club doesn´t lose any money and there´s nothing at stake (except perhaps 1.5 million per place in the PL). If anyone wants to spend 50 quid so they can get laughed at for 2 hours by the Forest fans that´s up to them.

Perhaps they think we´ll never play in the Premier League again. Once we´re down I think there should be a boycott of away games. Who would pay around 50 quid for being laughed at for 2 hours by the Forest fans? I haven´t been to an away game in 20 years and I understand that some fans enjoy the day out, but I´m not sure how at the moment.

The mystery is why we signed him. They spent the pre-season of 2023 trying to get rid of Daka and then signed Cannon even though he was going to be out injured for 3 months. Once he was fit and had played several games, they preferred Daka for the rest of the season. Who decided to sign him? He always looked miserable last season whereas Daka, for all his shortcomings, at least looked happy when they won, even if he hadn´t played.

Now Friar Lane & Epworth F.C.

Is it Friar Lane OB? Passing by on the train it seems reasonably close

In his first book, Claridge says that he refused to to Greece pre-season as the hot sun affects him badly and when the season started Ian Marshall was picked ahead of him. Claridge never really got back consistently in the team and left for Wolves, and then for Pompey etc. etc.

Thats what he said in his book "Tales from the Boot Camps", which is an excellent read. His follow-up book is a bit tedious.

He´d probably drop it

It might have been able to hold onto a lead.

Let´s see if they waste a few more thousand taking them to the Alps for a week pre-season. Perhaps they should go back to the sand hills of the Jock Wallace era.

One cutback they should make is NOT to go to the Alps pre-season, spending thousands in the process. They have a state of the art facility at Seagrave. At best, a few days in a training camp at Skeggy.

This team was coached?

Occasionally, regardless of the score, I´ve had to leave before the final whistle (usually to catch a train). Leicester have never conceded a goal after I´ve left, so perhaps I should leave in the first minute! On Friday I left after the 4th goal.

We´re not the first PL club to decline very badly and very quickly: Derby, Portsmouth, Leeds, Luton, Bolton etc.

"spiritual"

Does his spirtual/business view of the world differ from that of his father? The legal action brought recently in the case of the fatal helicopter crash includes a claim for loss of income due to the death of Vichai, stating that KP has suffered as his heirs are not as good as him in business terms.

Many of the goals we have conceded this season, like the 2 yesterday, came from poor marking in the penalty area. For the 2 goals yesterday we had more than enough defenders in the box, but Faes (1st goal) and Kristiansen (2nd) were ball watching. Goals against Crystal Palace (H) and Brentford (A) come to mind also. They defend with numbers not intelligence.

I think any boycotting of games should take place once we´ve been relegated mathematically (hopefully we won´t be but it looks pretty certain). For example, the Bournemouth and Forest away games.

I would give the 3 promoted teams a bigger share of the TV money and/or less strict financial rules for 1 year

My parents´ house, built in the 90s, has one. Their previous house and those of my grandparents had "coal houses", built onto the house to store coal

The little numbers in matchday programmes to collect and use to get priority for Cup games. "Silk" scarves Leicester having a white first strip Rattles The home fans applauding the opposition goalkeeper when he takes his position

I live in Spain and come over for 7-10 home games a season, sitting with my brothers. It´s a help when there are 2 in 3-4 days, like Palace and Fulham (oh dear...). This season is a disappointment but I still love the atmosphere and (occasional) excitement.

It´s a bit strange. They bought him even though he was out for 3 months injured, then from mid-January onwards he was kept out of the team by Daka, who they´d spent the previous summer trying to get rid of.
