  1. No surprise. But the deadline day shenanigans - and the summer 2023 - prove that there are efforts to try and comply. We are 100% up shit creek if we don't go up tho - and I fully expect virtually zero signings beyond free transfers if we go up.
  2. I remember as a kid collections in town for the miners and even then, thinking it was odd since Leicestershire miners were at work. I googled the other day as to why Notts (and Leicestershire and I'm guessing Nuneaton too) miners worked when Yorkshire, Kent and South Wales didn't. Apparently twofold 1. They had a businesslike culture and working relationship with management to maximise pit profitability and shared in the financial success.. 2. Government had no Notts pit down for closure, so as to deliberately split the miners' unity
  3. Bookies just go whatever way the wind is blowing though. Like in game betting. Man U today statistically had a 12 % chance of winning, then they scored and hey ho, the odds changed to a 33% chance of winning Basically bookies never lose coz they just change their opinion at a drop of a hat.
  4. Tbh, you make a great point. Maybe the City's selling point is authentic world food cuisine as opposed to fancy gaffs Edit; any recommendations of places for east African here? I've twice in my life eaten at Ethiopian places (elsewhere) and loved it.
  5. Burnley look like.we.did yesterday. Predictable and clueless
  6. Blackburn when they beat us in the playoffs. Very similar. Huge budget. High profile. Cruising. Lost seven consecutive games at the end of the season and only a win on the last day scraped them into playoffs
  7. Agree. They are very likeable, always have been
  8. Badly worded on my part. I meant for Nelson's own protection and also, as talented as he appears to be, he's not the answer to dig us out of a hole. It's unfair to load that on him. We have senior pros paid a fortune that can get us up. Let them do what they are paid to do
  9. I'm wouldn't have Nelson anywhere near the team right now. There's a time and a place for blooding raw kids and blowing an 'unassailable' 15 point lead at the top isn't it.
  10. Good managers work with what they've got. And we urgently need a freshen up. CBA to think up of a formation but I'd be keen to bring Souttar, Doyle and Coady in for some muscle and freshness. Fatawu is too wasteful. Drop. Play Kels in a roving, wide ish second striker. All academic though. It'll be the same ol' same ol'
  11. I've slept on it and I think we are fckd for this season. We've blown it. and the reason is tactics..this time of year is about sheer force of will. Playing such a rigid style and a refusal just to do what needs doing will cost us. just a small example is Souttar. West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday hurling in those long throws, but he flat refused to bring Souttar on, and so nullify the threat. Sometimes, in any profession, .just do what needs doing, rather than doggedly sticking to the system.
  12. Funnily enough guillem balague was at restaurant 263 last night
  13. I've all but given up. Fourth it is and the play offs. It's all just shits and giggles in the end
  14. I think that's the likeliest scenario here. But right now,.it doesn't look as if we will ever win again. If we can't win when totally outclassing Leeds, and we can't win when playing poorly (like Ipswich do every week) ...when do we win?
  15. The irony is I'm not a massive fan. He's a steady Eddie. But an ultra experienced, natural leader is absolutely the type of fella you need to replace one of our best players. As someone else said, the decision to play a promising kid ahead of him is mystifying and to Coady,. insulting
  16. Those ****ing crosses send em crazy. If there's nothing on, just drill the fcking thing low and hard across the six yard box and see what happens As.for Daka, he was fine given his zero serves and support. Poor decision to hook him. He needed support, not substitution
  17. The refusal to be pragmatic is helluva gamble I've never been comfortable with from the earliest part of the season. I like his style and understand what he's trying to do. But a routine pragmatic system of over/under lapping full backs and a second striker would've ripped this division alive. However, the ,Enzo way' is far better to next season when teams go toe to toe with us - as seen v Leeds, Bournemouth and Ipswich
  18. Was a dreadful decision not that play him today. The views pre match were almost unanimous. We need his leadership.
  19. Just to expand, the difference between the relationships with the two briefs were night and day, all down to a bit of experience (and not being panicked to rush things. It a why proper criminals do so well, they aren't shy of having to do, say, a year on remand. Normal people are) With my second lawyer, I questioned why she advised to say (or omit) this and that to understand the tactics....made us both justify in our minds what the plan was. And remember, I was innocent! - but a skilled brief makes sure you are watertight and knows what the police are looking for. But despite the pressure, I actually found the whole thing quite interesting...almost cathartic (having played a good hand So badly when I was in my teens). Felt like I was somehow fixing that debacle at the same time!
  20. Fascinating subject for me. As I have been involved. My very quick take it's a bit of a game and largely down to your legal representative and your dynamic with them. As a teenager, rumble outside of the boozer. Arrested on the street. I didn't know how to play the game. Just wanted it over with. Told the police anything and everything (with no lawyer there, to try and get home before my mum and dad realised) . Belatedly got a brief ....my parents are old school, yes sir, no sir whatever you say sir type to 'better educated people'.... Long story short, ended up doing 8 weeks in a young offenders. Years later, was arrested the day after a shag. You can guess what I was accused of (total nonsense fwiw). Wasn't pleased, played it cool. Kept my head. Got a lawyer in station prior to interview and I effectively interviewed her before any police interview. Told her everything. Then asked her 'have I broke the law?' No. Can you get me off this? I should be able to. Cool. Over to you. Get me off this thing. Case dropped within 5 weeks.
  21. But they simply aren't that good. Decent yes. But last week proved they were outplayed. Other teams will pose different problems for them, especially when the pressure builds. They e had it easy on this run, everything has fallen for them. Let's see how they react when they hit a bump. Hopefully implode quicker than Stockton Rush's mini submarine
  22. Huddersfield away is kinda a Cov away for them. That said, that garbage could be three points offa us at 3pm (or worse at 5pm 😂) They are bound to drop points at some point..last week proves they are nowhere near as good as us, and we regularly drop points.
  23. All sorts of things interweave to create a very poorly supported food scene in Leicester. The city's brand image and self confidence is woeful. The amount of very poor immigration who'd never step foot in a smart restaurant. The appalling (compared with other big cities) transport infrastructure. Add to that a general snobbery of our wealthy areas....punters in the county prefer to eat in nice gaffs in mountsorrel, Woodhouse, kibworth etc
