I reckon 8 points. They'll want to show other clubs "don't even think about trying to compete"
-
It should be noted that Wrexham were basically cherry picked. The TV show (of which I've seen a few episodes but it's very sanitised) was part of the deal. Whoever Rob/ Ryan picked to buy would have received the rocket boost, as the whole thing was geared around commercialisation. They are very much an outlier and it's important not to compare to them. The "business" is the commercial aspect and getting the big sponsors because they will instantly be on Disney. The club could be any team of any sport.

The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
fox_up_north replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
Runners I know swear by Garmin. Seems everyone has abandoned fitbit, at this point. -
One broken elbow and repeated trapped nerves in shoulders mean I have to be selective in my shoulder exercises. On a very good day I can do a few sets of bent over row but maxing out around 50kg. Just one of those things
-
Same for deadlifts as well. Today I did 2 sets of 3 pull ups then 2 sets of 5 chin ups with neutral grip, just to give it all a rest.
-
Been working on pull ups and chin ups, to really build shoulders of late. They're an absolute ballache. My best, thus far, has been 3 sets of 4 pull ups. Right at the start of a session. My aim is to get to 3 sets of about 6.

What year did you finish high school?
fox_up_north replied to beastfootballx's topic in General Chat
My English teacher flunked me in junior high. Thanks a lot; next semester, I'll be 35. -
Ahahahaha of course

Slimier than a slug that's been through a gunge tank at Noel Edmund's house

He stayed at Forest. He'll stay here until he's given the boot and a nice payoff. He gets to commute home every day and he comes out looking good anyway. The wider footballing world will see him as the valiant but unfortunate manager of little old Leicester.

Worst season in the clubs history incoming.
fox_up_north replied to Allenho11's topic in Leicester City Forum
Talk of this being the worst season is hyperbole. I live in the north west and have seen Macclesfield and Bury physically close, as well as the absolute catastrophe that is Oldham's ownership. That said, I do feel that this will be our last season of top flight football for a while and it will not be a pretty one. Coupled with the club management taking a real left turn over the last few years and it really turns me off. The price rises, the sponsorship, the lack of fan engagement - feels like we've turned the corner into Everton territory. -
Paris Olympic Games 2024

Just seen her on the news. What a G. Puts footballers to shame. Every single Ronaldo wannabe should be made to watch her marathon on repeat until they grow up. -
I'm of the opinion that Banksy, like Robin Hood and Jack the Ripper, isn't one person. Just a name assigned to a collective of people. More likely to capture public imagination if it's one mysterious person than a group of organised individuals. Addendum - see also W. Shakespeare.

Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)
fox_up_north replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Yeah, it's huge. It's basically Manchester, Liverpool and then pick 2 of the London teams. I wasn't a big follower of the EPL when we were out of it and it seems to have gotten once. Genuinely ok with us going back down to being a championship team. -

Wolves absolutely not going to be that low -
This idea that Top will "come of age" is unrealistic. He's nearly 40. He's not some young upstart. Mark Zuckerberg is 40, for comparison. Bill Gates was 40 when Windows 95 released. Top is a billionaire playboy who should be nowhere near the head of the company.

Why not both?

Glad you're all watching this for me. You are the heroes we don't deserve.

Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)
fox_up_north replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
From a logistics and environmental standpoint, it makes sense because we're close by and shipping is less of an issue. Not bothered. -
I think I would have had similar expectations of Maresca, once all the points deduction talk started. Instantly it's a black mark against the club and it makes it hard to bring anyone in.

fox_up_north replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'm not that bothered. He made his choice. We got a combined £40+ million for him and KDH, who was always going to go. It's more let's laugh at Chelsea than Maresca, for me. -
Now look what you've all done

Sod it, these lads want to do something to be proud of their country; don't send them to prison but get them cleaning up the streets and sorting the mess they made. Whilst wearing big bright pink jumpsuits.

Once this is all over, can we actually have a grown up conversation about immigration, culture clashes and integration please? I really hope this doesn't give licence to just point the blame at the twats of the country and continue ignoring an issue that has been a concern for donkey's years.

Soumaré - Sevilla currently - They have no cash
fox_up_north replied to Sly's topic in Transfer Talk
Oh yeah. He's famous for it. Running. Muscling. Etc. Top lad. Be gutted to see him go.
