Mate. That's magic. Post of the year contender

It's not about desire. He isn't good enough. I feel awful - as I'm sure many do - for being so blunt about a nice Leicester lad whose family are on here too. But to me,.from day one, he's never looked good enough. There have been moments I've wobbled and seen him put in really intelligent performances, but then, next game, he'll be the slowest, weakest,.least skilful player on the pitch.

Those who walk out are buzzed by strictly or ant & decs takeaway. That's where their passion lies. Effing and jeffin at Craig revel horwood

Go down a Launderette? Aren't the cylinders massive there? Stick it on a cold / gentle wash

Batmanjelly gone. Presumably will be cremated - along with about 10 million quid stuffed in every gown

His set up v us a few weeks ago was staggering in its naivety. They 'had a go' which caused us to break sweat in fairness for the opening 15 mins, but it was pure luck in the end that Brum didn't get bummed by 6 or 7. It was tactical suicide and played directly into our hands.

Even better!

True. But you can't coach lack of pace though.

Yup, on paper it's ridiculous. But our full strength side is possibly lower mid table PL standard but with the added weight of confidence. It's not absurd to imagine Brighton, Palace, Everton, Wolves getting to a final. Tbh, I'd play a massively rested team but so will Millwall and I'd love us to have a pop at this. By the time the business end of the competition comes round, we will be as good as up anyway

Another one to echo the view that JJ is really looking mustard atm He's out best defender, the recovery run pace, the delaying tactics and at championship level, I'd go as far to say he's almost unbeatable at one on one defending Pity he's had his attacking wings clipped, us having dispensed with full backs.

Noticed M1 today was 90% full at the end, rest of the ground had lost 25% Season ticket holders need.to recognise their responsibility to 'the cause' and not just go through the motions (me included)

On that note, when's Jewry Walk due for reopening? Places like Bath (admittedly pretty spectacular) and York make a whole industry out of their roman/viking history....so far as I know, we are the only big UK city with extensive Roman remains and it barely gets a mention.

I'm glad to hear it. Though I've read many people describe him as rude or standoffish in the past, which I find hard to visualise. I wonder if it depends on how people approach him? Maybe interrupting for a selfie whilst he's having a nice meal brings a different response to a polite 'hello gary'' on a chance meeting out and about

I just looked at same thread, 2023. I didn't have a good one resolution wise. Got two (the easiest ones) of the five ticked off. Thanks to @Nalis for leaving us some fanny, I really got to actually talk to birds (without actually trying to pull) and bin off dates via dating apps. And yeah, I know I know, calling em birds is part of the reason I'm single blah blah To take a couple of gambles this year. I sway from periods of being ultra risk averse to taking calculated risks in life. Last year was far too risk averse.

Yeah, I agree. His overall schtick is self deprecating and the gentle ribbing he gives his co hosts on motd, all part of his style.. It's just that, in City's case, his overly modest, overly grateful style doesn't do us any favours and reinforces the old Leicester perception

Assuming you are flying into east mids the bus into Leicester is two quid a pop. Takes about an hour. Plenty of casual but glitzy looking restaurants near to your hotel (up from the station) for a new year's eve out. Mainly indian, Turkish type gaffs but enough to feel as if it's a night out for your lad. As for game, yeah, 25 mins walk max. Either via the city centre / de mont uni /river (nicer walk) or walk via the inner ring road towards tigers ground (less scenic!)

It's stark, isn't it? We've elevated away from the West Brom / Middlesbrough / Norwich type perception to a whisker away to a West Ham / Newcastle / Leeds / Villa level. Add Gary Lineker, bless him, who also still thinks we are punching and as such makes constant self deprecating remarks - well meant modesty, I guess - but bad for business.

JJ is starting to find his peak form. He's quietly going about his business defensively - to the point he appears to win every duel (stats people feel free to correct this!), win every footrace. I'm unconvinced Enzo fancies him though. Luke Thomas is rightly finished. I'm interested in VK next season. We will have every contractual right, and the financial comfort zone, to pull rank and insist he's part of the squad. It's possible he may fancy it, having seen the project and re-enters pre season training with the camp in positive mood.

He has a terrific ability to take the ball on at full speed and collect it in his stride. Peak Vardy style - no higher compliment. Even better, when the ball is awkward, he can sometimes bully it to get it under control - last night's first goal being a good example..

Singing advice isn't my speciality, but last night lacked a lingering 10 minute simple call to arms... In the old days, midway through second half you'd have a 10 minute rendition of 'brian littles blue white army' ....Leeds do it with the champions of Europe thing and forest I hate to say do that fckn everywhere we go (which tbf at our place last year we humiliated them with a counter version when 4-0 up)

I'd suggest that Ipswich would have to replace all eleven players - and us none - if they were to even have a chance to overtake us in the PL, style suited or not

Then the formula is far too basic. For example, KDH's one on one with a defender chasing alongside was rated as 0% xG yet would ordinarily result in, say 25% tackle / 25% save / 25% goal / 25% foul (75% chance of being given, and then a 75% chance if that being scored)

If your mate is happy to give you the tix, can't he lend you his ID too? Ask your Mrs to pick up your ticket with your ID. All else fails, walk into the Cardiff ticket office with your booking confirmations and say that City have ballsed up your tickets. I kinda enjoy a good blag to get in. A deadly cocktail of politeness and persistence tends to work! (Except with city ticket office staff)

Fair enough, I just checked Wikipedia. Last 51 years, 15 in the top flight in one single stretch from the mid 80s, 27 in the second tier and 9 in the third tier. Still pretty ordinary.

It's like the Freemasons down there. How does that help a tourist? Family member visiting from out of town who fancies it as a one off? A family in, say, Kettering or Peterborough that doesn't have Leicester connections?
