Holding down the goalie rush button on FIFA

Let them have their sulks for now. Get it out their system. If they even have goals to not celebrate then they're doing more than last season. Hopefully if we can get some results, after a few weeks the mood will start to feel lighter again.

On the positive end I miss a Christian Fuchs shootout penalty. Possibly the most cultured man off the pitch turned into peak Sean Dyche from 12 yards.

Roasting hot at Kibworth today but a great day out and a thumping win.

I might be wrong but for the majority of first team fixtures at Filbert Street you would have had Mel Pace ("Hello everyone..."). Brad did reserve games and was back up for Mel until the move to Filbert Way where he got the full time gig.

A number is a position on the field, not a man. Simple enough for you?

Why not just line up with 10 players all season then? After all, who's fit to occupy a space on the pitch if it's not the GOAT? Vardy's legacy isn't diminished by the fact we've given our centre forward the shirt number a centre forward should wear.

Ultimately if Ayew is our starting centre forward and 9 is vacant he can have it. I've watched Carl Cort and Geoff Horsfield wear it, let's not pretend shirt numbers are in any way sacred.

Seen so many on the Narborough Road pubs after games our fanbase is almost Hull levels of weird these days

Evening, Jon.

Also I found Ricky Sappleton's water bill dumped on the floor by the letter boxes once.

I miss living in a city centre flat half an hour's walk from the ground. Turn that into a 5-6 hour round trip driving from Manchester and it's no wonder it's started to feel like a slog.

Expert positioning of the fielding helmets that ended up giving Derbyshire a little bit of help with the 5 penalty runs.

So who do we think man of the match was?

Of course Rehan gets 2 wickets while I'm around the back of the stand taking a phone call about a possible job offer

Did we sell Derbyshire our old scoreboard?

Gonna be on our second innings by the time I turn up to the ground tomorrow morning.

It's quite fun watching Weller at the same ground he produced such a moment of magic, in similar pitch conditions do something like that.

Mark de Vries for those two games where Martin Allen somehow turned him into prime Yeboah

Carl Cort v Wolves in 2007, I think he blocked three goalbound shots like he was still playing for them. Not a full fixture but v Hinckley in 2008, Lathaniel Rowe-Turner might be the worst professional footballer I've ever seen.

His picture will be in the dictionary the day they add "Nepo baby"

When I got a survey asking me why I don't use the LCFC app I told them since it comes from the club I was worried it would set my phone on fire.

This is why culturally Maresca was so much more than his brand of football. Leicester need a no nonsense tolerated manager to function. If Rudkin likes someone it's probably a total non-starter.

Jannick's dog had it.
