    Has anyone got the contract expiry dates at hand of the players?

    Or was that on another thread?

    Transfermarkt has them listed on each players profile. Is a reliable source of info.

    He's a medium sized cockapoo. Looked online and it seems he's at the adolescent stage and will be barky for a while until he matures further.

     

    We hope.

    I have one, she’s not far off three now.
     

    Cockapoos are very vocal dogs, mine tends to squeak a lot when she wants something/is trying to tell me something urgent (like I need the bathroom), thankfully she only barks when someone is at the door or if she gets very frustrated at me holding onto her toys for too long and not throwing them (ie. telling me she wants something). Has never barked at another dog. She is still mental though, like an 11kg puppy. They are a damn cute breed, and very sweet natured for the most part.  Main behavioural issue they may develop (thanks to them being a cross of two retriever breeds) is resource guarding, best to trade them a treat for any inappropriate items they “retrieve” (steal) in early years to stop this from developing. Build a positive association for humans approaching them when they have a stolen object. They definitely know the difference between an item they should and shouldn’t have.
     

    Cockapoos are very curious and determined, so they may just be telling you they want something (I want to go upstairs/through the closed door, etc.), but if the barking is relatively new it might be going through its second fear stage, and the barking is therefore anxiety based. If that is the case, it should go away as that phase of their development isn’t typically very long (few months). You can use treats to create positive associations with the objects/places they are scared of and cause the barking if this is the case. 
     

    If you want some peace they absolutely love playing in water, being two different water retriever dog breeds (both types of gun dogs for retrieving game from water) combined. A paddling pool of water in the garden to splash in will have them entertained for hours!

    Being a combo of two working dog breeds means they are also very intelligent and high energy, mine has been up 10s of mountains with me in the Lake District and I take her on 5k runs, they are very capable. Though it’s important to wait for them to be fully grown before heavy exercise. 
     

    I have noticed in my case that her behaviour is significantly less.. chaotic/annoying.. when I satisfy her physical and mental natural instincts as a water retriever dog: to run, chase, collect objects, and solve puzzles (to get treats). Without that stimulation they can get bored and destructive, since they are clever and curious dogs and will quickly find the weak point in any object to find out what is inside 🤣 Petface brand latex chew/squeak toys are the only ones that last in my experience.


    I think a lot of first time dog owners get them because they’re cute, playful and hypoallergenic (same reasons my wife wanted one), but they aren’t the easiest first time pets IMO. They are high energy, vocal, gun dogs that need plenty of mental and physical stimulation daily.

    As ever in recent years, the manager is far from the biggest problem at Leicester City FC. There are far bigger issues above and below the manager.

    Agree we will be fine i feel,

     

    I think Top is running us into administration though and at some point he will be forced to sell up.

     

    The question is who buys us ?

     

    I think U.S. Investors or a multi-club ownership group will come in and save us.

     

    We need another Milan Mandaric.

    Enter stage left… Mike Ashley 

     

    Excited to get down the Sports Direct Arena for Leicester vs Bromley?

    If? We’re already gone!

    I agree it’s extremely likely, as said above, we probably need to win 3 of the last 4, which feels impossible. We have done less likely things in the past… but this group of players has absolutely nothing to offer, and won’t win a single game for the rest of the season, in my opinion.

    I honestly think we can get out of the bottom

    Haven't won in something like 14 games and people think we are suddenly going to turn it around, with the same group of players.  Woeful, home form.

    Accept we are down it makes it a whole lot easier.

    We beat Bristol 3 weeks ago, but before that you have to look back to West Brom at New Year…

     

    I agree we are going down, unless the form of Oxford drops off a cliff and Pompey keep failing.
