Collymore

I know it's a funny time on a Sunday but there will be someone there that can print it, as long as you can show the confirmation. My tickets hadn't arrived for Tranmere and Leicester somehow messed up sending them to Tranmere! They didn't even want to see my confirmation, just printed me some tickets off and it was sit where you want! Having said that, Blackburn will be sit where you're allocated but I can't see it being an issue. I'd just take some ID just in case they're really picky.

Sorry pal - already going. Hope you shift them.

Too late. I've already photographed them and printed them off on some card. I'm looking forward to tomorrow now.

Absolutely - wouldn't be surprised if he was a plant!

I think this is managing him. Don't tire him out with any extra travel, have a rest midweek from intense training and he can go easy on any match day red bulls!

Souttar out of the cold is a massive shock. Didn't see that happening!

Fixed for you. Not many clubs who can play two big sea creatures on both wings.

Not to forget Alves and Braybrooke.

We seem to have had this discussion for years. It's an absolute joke.

I feel if you're 40 odd there seems to be nothing in-between. Radio 1 just full of people trying too hard to care about crap new music and Radio 2 feels old fashioned. The rest of the commercial stations are the pits. Sometimes there's some amazing content on Radio 4 if you can find a topic that interests you.

1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

I think you're underestimating Nige. What I took from his press conference was that his philosophy changes depending on the squad he's got. It was almost a CV statement for when he takes over us again (I think it's destined to happen) Nige wasn't going to get drawn talking about a set style or strategy. "You have to play to the squad's strengths" That may sound simple but I witnessed BR basically get us relegated because he couldn't utilise the squad properly as was unable to adapt his methods to suit the strength of the squad, albeit it was hard to see any strength after he had lambasted them publicly and destroyed all confidence. I would argue that Nige offers something more than just football tactics. He almost seems like he's on a spiritual journey at times, maybe that's why he's rocking the bracelets and jewelry. He is everything Brendan Rodgers isn't. Bristol doesn't sum up his career, they're a mid table championship side hoping to join the lottery of the playoffs as that's what club they are. Put Pep or anyone in charge of them with the level of investment and inability to hold on to home grown talent and they'd do no better. I believe Nige when he says he's enjoying his time at Bristol but there were some interesting 'throw away comments' that on the surface seemed innocent but with that Nige smirk told me they'd been decisions at board level that he was probably not happy with. Nige as always let's us know in his unique way, unlike someone like Rodgers, who would go bitching to the media with the "poor me" putting his reputation above anyone else. To me it's clear he absolutely loves our club. I can just sense it. We fit each other like the perfect most comfortable silk glove. Of course we're backing Enzo 100% but mark my words: One day Nige will return as Leicester manager.

Really annoying how they cut straight back to the studio with mundane robot man after full time when it would be nice to see the players interacting with Nige etc. Surely someone somewhere should be aware that that's interesting for the fans. Also I thought the commentator was out of sync at one point but realised it was a case he was just way behind play! Couldn't speak in real-time for some reason. It's all a bit crap that coverage.

Another Nigel or football manager?

When I listen to him talk I really do think there is. He's so unique. What a man.

I clicked on the pre-match press conference hoping for my love to have waned only to witness: Microphone that you wouldn't dare to bring out on your own in the dark let alone on an official occasion being shoved in Nigel's face. Background that looks like it's been knocked up quickly by the local infant school Being interviewed by someone in a lumberjack shirt from an awkward angle who's obviously invading Nige's space that Nige seems to take particular displeasure for. Arthritic/African warlord bracelet on manly god-like right arm Watch halfway down the forearm on the other manly god-like arm Extremely salty difficult answer response for the first stupid question after 1 min about away from. The only thing missing was a pair of ice white's in shot. What a man, I can't describe how much I love him. Jokes a part this is really good conference where he delves into quite a bit of his thoughts about us and building up clubs. You can see we are so important to him still and evokes so many emotions in him.

Yeah it was like a switch. Some sort of beast mode out of no where.

Nah, that 30 mins v Cov was still the most dominating from one player I've seen for quite a while. He was unplayable.

Some of his football has been ultra-safe. A bit better tonight.

Brimming with confidence and I saw an interview of him on YouTube - he seems a lovely grounded lad. Looks sharp and has physically developed a bit like KDH did that season.

Really really like this player. He was so unlucky to get that handball call when it hit his head - we'd have had a resulting 100 yard run and goal no doubt!

There was a turn he did first half where he actually deceived the Norwich midfield, our players and the cameraman. Obscene speed he turned at!

After reading your first sentence I was hoping you were going to give some reasons to reassure me but you then go on to give pretty fundamental serious problems if he's not suited to the league and has language barrier that's getting in the way. He was better tonight, more combative but looks nothing like the attacking wide player I thought he would be at all. Seems like a kind of old style wide midfielder to me. I put his safe performances before tonight down to confidence, hopefully not a mentality from a different league and not understanding those around him, otherwise he and us are f**ked!

It's called playing at a level totally below what you're really capable of. We still need to beat who's in front of us though and Enzo is guiding us well.

I looked at Norwich and I thought I'm really glad we're not in their shoes. Sky doing their best to dress them up but they've got giant shithouse Ashley Barnes up front with no other players of note. Their fans just ooze that really crap Championship mentality when they cheer something really crap because a player won a throw or closed someone down and somehow they see it as something bigger than it is. Took me back to our days of being stuck in the division and I hope we go up straight away because I'd hate to be stagnant in this league again. We looked much better than them and didn't get into top gear. I think we're going to take bodies away from home this season especially.
