Paninistickers

Thing is in Loughborough, same as Melton, the forest filth that are about feel the need to wear forest clobber 24/7, artificially increasing the profile as City fans there don't tend to wear fox leisure 24/7 I was the same in Nottingham TBF. Dated a bird there for a while and when I'd go for a jog in the morning,.I'd always pop my city.top on

Loughborough changes with the wind. They had a forest spell but it's now swung firmly back on our favour. I'd say to the tune of 60%, 40% big teams and forest

Bosworth we compete with Tigers (who I'd say are dominant)... likewise any other posher county town; Oakham, harborough, uppingham

I'd say our strongest outside of county towns are Kettering and Nuneaton. Castle Donington I'd nuke. Derby stronghold, weirdos (tho that's coz it's derby people escaping, rather than Leicestershire folk supporting them)

Second dates are much harder than first. First the bar is low. if you are anything above a complete social inadequate, you can do OK. The second - where expectations have grown - is where any stunning lack of charisma and limited knowledge on item outside of war, football and lockdown loophole stories become startlingly obvious We shan't be meeting again

How comes I am only just starting to appreciate the back catalogue of Squeeze? Always kinda considered them a workmanlike but likeable outfit. But I'm learning their stuff is marvellously crafted. And ageless. How hard is that to consistently write songs that don't age. My fave, funnily enough one of the few without Glenn Tilbrook on lead vocals

I don't think our tactics take into account the opposing team's mentality. We can be (seemingly) cruising at 1 or 2 up and the opponents can often be quite content with that and basically then give it bash in the last 15 mins. Even v Brum, cruising with a 2 goal cushion and an opponent totally out of their depth against us, shithouse a goal late on and it's game on.

I do. He's stinging. I like players to have a mean, mardy side. Winner's mentality

If there's one criticism you can make this season, it's that one single incident seems to derail us. Middlesbrough were hanging on for 0-0 for dear life yet won off a worldie. Today's sending off after a textbook first half. Leeds had 0-0 written all over it. Sheffield Wednesday almost complete dominance playing at 20%. West Brom one lucky punt. Ipswich fluke double deflection. It's no use just being better than the opposition. You have to run their nose in it too.

Fcks sake. One of those days. How the fck do they keep doing it? They're nothing other than huff and puff

They're not. It's normal. I remember boneheads - maybe 40 or 50 - at our gaff chanting galatasary v Leeds years ago. It weren't me, nor the 28k other city fans in attendance that night.

Maybe related to big Malcolm Allison?

Just kids having fun

Ipswich haven't got a chance of staying the distance. They are a bog standard championship team, nothing more or less. Us and saints will occupy the top 2 places easily

Saints ground almost completely full...but just scored their fourth on 84 mins!. Same thing at our gaff would have thousands bolting for the exit to get back for strictly without so much as a round of applause for the players.

Saints are miles and miles and miles ahead of Ipswich. It's a freak situation that Ipswich have accumulated as many points as they have. They aren't even as good as Cov, let alone saints

Totally agree. It was a textbook 'going to plan' performance as could've possibly have been. In fact, even at 0-0 on 40 mins I was relishing the second half, such was the control we had

I can't work out if it feels worse to have a game spoiled when had absolutely everything going to plan .....or if I'd be more annoyed if we'd have thrown it away second half in a normal 11v11 Either way, it feels shite - and feels as if the Cov public have been short changed but not seeing one of our masterclasses!

Didn't like the tactics tho. I wanted us to carry a threat. They had carte blanche to concentrste on attacking....Go 4-1-3-1 .... Usual back 4 and Winks, KDH/mcAteer/Praet and maybe mavdivi up top

I don't want VAR but it's cost us at least a point today and 2 at Ipswich

Agreed. It was a bit Brendany just to hang on

Yeah, same. I wouldn't moan at the ref publicly but if I was a player, I'd just say 'you've spoiled it mate' as I was coming off

Can you imagine this at any other business? What if Susan Whelan was the CEO of Ryanair....would she install this same policy? If she did I'm not sure Michael O'Leary would be too happy Me: Can I buy 4 x 50 quid tix to Alicante please? Ryanair: Are you a Ryanair member? Me; No Ryanair: Then you need to buy a Ryanair membership first at 100 quid Me: Well, I dunno if I'll use Ryanair enough to warrant that Ryanair: Then, fck off Me: but I know someone who flew from east mids last year with you Ryanair: then get them to buy the tix for you Me: I don't know them that well Ryanair; like it or lump it pal. Either pay membership or get this acquaintance of yours to buy it Me: can't I just buy the tix myself Ryanair; nope, because, tbh, you might commit violence on the plane. We can't take that risk. Me; but if acquaintance buys them, or I buy membership, you then think I won't commit violence Ryanair: correct

Whoever dictates ticketing policy down there doesn't need sacking. They need psychiatric help. It's absolutely insane

It's totally bizarre. Borderline unhinged. They run the place like the Freemasons. Family from Oakham who've never been before - **** off you cvnts. Know some old codger from the Saff who's been down for years? - yer in.
