  1. Exactly this. It's a great post. They are too frightened to go develop a niche. the Box Park thing as you say,.looks good but it's copy and paste. Same as the calls for an arena. That ship has sailed. Examples of niche; Why not rebrand the market as Britain's biggest farmer's market? LA style. Make the city a champion of local sustainable produce. Why not heavily push the smart apartments around curve as a commuter space to London, low rent / high quality / 70 min commute / 5 mins walk to station Redevelop the Corah space - maybe as a clothing industry hub - and in doing so, connect Abbey Park and the Space park back to the city centre Flood the Curve area with artists, living and working with subsidised rates and flood a redevloped Corah with clothes designers and shared manufacturing, studio and design equipment Allow super cheap rent and rates in the arcades for independent businesses. The city centre is dying. It's needs a radical rethink, not a paler version of a Leeds or Manchester
  2. Annoying but maybe, at seven games out, it's still too early for the (almost) inevitable Leeds wobble. It'll come, it'll come. And hopefully late enough that the wobble is terminal
  3. They make me sick Totally outplayed as per
  4. That's absolutely par for Ipswich. #9minsinjurytime #deflection #doubledeflection
  5. Was Ok today for the early leavers. A good 90% there at the end. The difference it makes if strictly come dancing isn't on
  6. Yeah, but Leamington doesn't have the size or energy of a city. Listen, I think Leicester is dire compared to equivalent cities, but the point t I made earlier is that, if you know the place and show a visitor the best bits, it can actually come across quite well. The example I have earlier was we sat in the exchange, busy independent bar in a cool flatiron building with a view of curve, hundreds heading in there for an event...and the Art Deco Athena overlooking us too. It looked and felt good, even to me Edit; thinking of all those punters heading to curve, the difference it would.make to the city nighttime economy if the De Montfort Hall was in the city centre in addition to curve. Pity really.
  7. Think it's harsh. Thought he put in a real shift.
  8. Be interesting to see stats of km covered today.and sports and recovery runs..all seemed well up.. However, there was a 10 minute vacuum between 67 and 77 mins where we needed to keep that intensity by bringing on JJ (who I thought was excellent in his cameo,.away from that shit how of a lcb role he's asked.to perform) and Dennis and Hamza and Vards. Shout out to Daka today who had a thankless role leading that press.
  9. Subs were all correct but each introduction was 5 mins too late imo.
  10. Interesting wasn't it? Same personnel, same tactics but the players upped the intensity big time...the opening goal forced them to. Exactly what we need to get out of this mess is that the players learn how to find a way,. mid game,.to win matches. It takes fight and hard running in addition to ability and tactics
  11. True, tho that was the aylestone side of the monsell, ie this side of glenhills boulevard.
  12. I get it. I'm a huge critic of our city can't find its niche. But, Leicester has it in patches and never underestimate the power of something new Last summer I had two mates.from Cov and Leamington over for a drink. Started at the exchange (next to curve), that other boozer (Manhattan,.now changed name) chutney Ivy, walked up.over Charles at up belvoir street, drinks bottom on new.walk over to st Martin's finish up on high street and end up jubilee sqaure for kebab and taxi home. They thought Leicester looked and felt fantastic.
  13. I agree. But, tbf, a waterside port city is always gonna have an edge on an inland city. Plus, it's a regional capital. You can drive 2 hours north, south or east and only find places like Dorchester, Swindon and Yeovil as an economic and social 'competitor'
  14. Surreal, if he said that.. Bit like a pilot saying that Michael O' Leary at Ryanair doesn't expect him to land the plane safely. Fair enough. But the passengers do!
  15. Was all a fake/front anyway, set up in response to the expose of illegal immigrant Indians working in Leicester sweatshops for about 4 rupees a week. Nobody ever worked there
  16. I take a fonder view. There were moments provided by Madders and Youri that were magical. I can't stand Evans now, but he too had moments with us that were fun (him telling players in 88 mins at Southampton to get on with it and get the record, putting Kane into Row Z with a fair tackle) It's all fun in the end
  17. That is never ever ever a foul If anything, Gordon fouls Kalvin Philips
  18. Am I imagining this, or did Birch once dress up as Winston Churchill and gave a speech pre match?
  19. The squad Is clearly miles above the standard needed to go up. It's nonsense to claim otherwise. Is it delusional to believe that Kels is, if utilised properly, a better player than George Hirst? Yet Hirst was lead man for our biggest rival. You reckon Kieran McKenna, in an ideal world,.would've signed Kels.or Hirst this summer? Or that Souttar was signed last season as essentially the top championship centre half....yet our manager refuses to play him. We also signed another proven top championship player, Doyle, who the manager asks to perform a role he clearly isn't equipped for. There's three players, all of whom deemed not suitable by our manager, who'd more or less walk into any team.in the division. How about KDH, who most people freely admit is the best player in the division. As for your jibe at Wilf, he's been largely outstanding this season. Another level.
  20. Oh for Mike Stowell right now!
  21. We couldn't buy a win. However, Pearson (always tactically clueless) kept shaking the team up, changing formations and personnel in a desperate hail mary to stop the freefall. It didn't work til Forest away. But, I guess, at least he tried to arrest the slide.
  22. The absurdity is, Enzo himself has said on a number of occasions that the opposition 'played how we expected' after a win or 'didnt play as we expected and I had to fix the issues at half time' ....yet we play, as expected, every single game.. Had it not occurred to him that other managers react to us too?
  23. Leeds aren't that different to Ipswich. They kinda just hang on in games, don't do a lot except wait for that break. It works. It's infuriating. But grudging respect
  24. I think it's dawning on us that we might have to suffer agony before we can move on. If we are to be promoted,.it's a prolongation of the shambolic, messianic running of the club. A points deduction,. minimum three seasons in the championship and financial ruin might be the only way route back to the PL under a new, open, fresh and collegiate ownership.. The North Korean style 'our dear leader' MO has run its course.
