Paninistickers

I agree. Dunno what the answer is, but the economy is gonna need a reset at some point. We keep importing 500k per year from the third world to do deliveroo and Amazon warehousing....which increases demand for housing (even allowing for the fact the immigration is living in squalid multi person households) This status quo suits.immigrants, suits landlords,.suits unis, suits uni accom providers, suits house builders and property developers..which suits our private pensions ....but destroys our landscape, our health service (thro.over.demand), our culture,.our quality of life,.our kids' ownership prospects

Classic Rudkin playbook. 1. Identify foreign player 2.Put in low ball bid, with every man and his dog knowing we'll increase 3. Increase bid to reasonable. Selling club rejects. 4. Put in bogus bid for similarish profile player at similarish club,. everyone knows it's bogus 5. Capitulation and pay selling club way over the odds and pay player around double what anyone else was going to, (who's then bullied by his agent who are on a massive whack from us, and player reluctantly signs for us) Good ol' Rudders.

Never quite know why Argentina speaks Spanish. The country has so many ties to Italy and by far the greatest immigrant group was Italian. Look at the surnames, Cambiasso, Maradona, Messi, General Galtieri!....all Italian family names

I could have had Picasso talking to me 24/7 about art but I still wouldn't know my arse from my elbow about a painting's artistic merit or value.

Hahaha. I'd imagine I've forgotten more games than Top has ever seen. Experienced more? We've all played at school, played five a sides, played Sunday league, watched the kids, managed kids teams, referred games, watched thousands of games on TV over a period spanning decades and watches hundreds of not thousands of professional games live. Watched YouTubers, listened to pundits, read messageboards, chatted in pubs and on holidays to total strangers about the sport. All of that versus Top, who, from a standing start, has chatted to Rudkin twice a week for half an hour these last 10 years

100 percent this. I recall persuading a bunch of lads abroad to drive me to my gaff for 10 euros as I hadn't enough for a taxi and once in the car, thinking, fck, this might not be my wisest idea. Plus, every year there's a lad or two that dies in Magaluf or somewhere doing some absurd balcony jump or whatever. Young lads make absurd decisions. Period. I think the Michael Mosley decision making was.far.more bizarre than Jay Slater's

I find it hard to process that Top wants a certain kind of football. Firstly, Top's football IQ is going to be far far lower than a good 75% of the posters on here. This is a man remember that outsources his multi million horse racing operation to a football academy director. Far more likely that Top has been convinced (talked in to) that the Pep/possession football idealogy is fashionable and it'll make him look as if he knows what he's doing. No different to an art curator at a gallery or Michelen chef chatting to Top....he's hardly gonna start lecturing the chef how long the beef should be seared

82 was the first tournament I managed to follow. It was a high water mark..an extraordinary tournament. Argentina (Inc Maradona) v Brazil near war in that second group round. West Germany France semi. Northern Ireland beating Spain. 2 or 3 thousand hard core hooligans following England. A banned Paolo Rossi making his comeback. The 'evil' communist Soviet Union..Poland protesting against communism with a solidarity flag. The West Germany v Austria scandal. Kuwait walking out of a game. Honduras losing 10-1 The best ever. Edited to add, all played only 30 days after the Falklands war for us, the jocks,.northern Ireland and the argies.

Lost to college boy USA amatuers

Agree . 82 was perhaps out fairest outcome. Wins v (what turned out to be 2 years later a brilliant) France, recent euros winners Czechs, draws to hosts Spain and an awesome West German team (Keegan missing a.sitter 10 mins from time to send us through) 86 we were garbage. 88 garbage. 90 largely outplayed by Cameroon. 92 total garbage. 98 unlucky tbf. 2000, 2002,2006, 2012 and 2016 garbage.

Millwall's old ground wasn't it? Cold Hard Truth Lane.

Right now, we have no other choice other than to work with Daka. Vardy cannot possibly play the role of a modern PL striker leading the press. And Cannon hasn't got the pace (and his fitness/stamina level is unknown) Edit, made same point twice!

I'm far from convinced, however if the new manager could get him 1. to relax , stop trying too hard and use his instinct a bit more and 2.maybe connected with trying too hard... work on his balance I think there's still a player there.

Shots came from the side, he clutched the correct ear. Very probable that the assailant missed and a bullet grazed him.. His reaction - shock,.pain, duck - looked instinctive to me.. He will love this though

Used to get a birthday card form players back in the 80s as a junior fox. When enrolling, you filled out on the form who your favourite player was. Mine was Alan Smith. Birthday card was personally written by Alan smith and added a signature from 10 or so random players. The great Jack Curtis in those days ran the junior foxes as if it were the most important thing on earth . No player would've dared disobeyed him.

I'm expecting Cooper to be far more tactically flexible. Something weve rarely had ( Puel demonstrated a.semblence of invention - tho limited to the big teams only -.... ....Rodgers only bothered v Man City with an 11 man low block. With the personnel we have, I can see 343 and a 4231 or even 433 (with false nine) ...I also think we'll see far more of the fit players and use of finisher subs. *Hamza and even McAteer may well have key roles for their fitness. Edit; *cooper at forest never used to panic at 1 or even 2 -0 down, instead concentrating on stability and staying in the game and to finish strong. I can see Hamza and McAteer used to run hard for 70 mins

Agree. I wish England well and hope they do it . However, genuinely, personally I get more joy from a tight away win at selhurst or goodison than I would England even winning the WC. Leicester is part of me. Whereas I am only a part of England,.if that makes sense.

Soumare. Silva. Tete.

I've given up trying to work out how the club works out it's finances. The bizarre purchase of Tom Cannon tells you everything we need to know about their approach. The club is bipolar and has these manic episodes

. Daka basically is the only one who's equipped, physically, to play a solo role up front. There is nobody else capable. Which,.I wonder,.there may be times we forgo entirely a man up top and just play a false nine and the three lads - Stephy, Fatawu and this new lad high and play on the break

Tbf, an absolute white elephant. And a track donkey's years out of date. However, at the very moment cycling became mainstream (previously the sport had been largely been pursued by middle-class bachelors) , yup, Leicester got rid. Funnily enough, our loss meant Derby then built a state of the art velodrome which has since put a whole new.meaning to the word white elephant. I think the athletics at saffron lane is in similar disarray (if not already demolished)

So far so good for investments under a stable government. As vanilla as Starmer is, the markets.kove Vanilla. I'm up 4% give or take since last week. Not in one big spike either. Been a steady % point most days, with the occasional blip. Which I feel is better than one big artificial bounce

She looks hot. Get her in the birds off telly thread

Was it perhaps a normal length and we as a club had the option to extend? (Which we probs did to protect his sale value)

Just something about having a British manager who looks / sounds like a coach I like it. Rodgers always seemed to be on the sidelines watching and giggling Maresca bogged down with theory and not articulating himself quite well enough Puel could barely speak English. There are shades of shakey that worries me a bit, but Cooper's pedigree is way above shakey.
