drumbeat

Cags, that's school boy.

That was on n the cards. We just cannot defend set pieces at the best of times. Now we'll see what we're made of.

Always somebody else's fault isn't it Kasper? Maddison knows full well he should be 12 foot tall.

I wouldn't be swapping out any of our CBs. I think we need an extra body in the middle so I'd be looking at Nacho making way and try to play with a lone striker. Then Daka for Vardy later on. Thing is, I'm not sure who we have to add to midfield - KDH? The pace is electric and it needs to be somehow that can manage that. Hamza is too risky IMHO.

We're lucky. Some talking needed halftime. We're trying to take the pace out of the game, which is sensible, but we're getting caught in their press. We're loosing the midfield battle and they've been unlucky not to capitalise on that. That was some strike from Youri.

Soumare is not with the pace of this game.

WHAT.... THE... ****!!!

Yeppity yep yep yep - worth the selection just to feel the love on the forum alone. What'll happen if we get tonked is anyone's guess. I'd predict halt and catch fire.

Don't you just know it. Probably even worth a punt

Back in the 80s, I used to buy clothes in charity shops, from jumble sales too. I was partial to 'old man suits' (square cut, single breasted as a preference) but shirts, cardigans, jackets too. It was an affordable way for me to dress 'differently', back in the day when that mattered to me. These days, I buy only books or maybe the odd unusual knick-knacky thing. I don't think I've ever looked at vinyl records, much less CDs, even less so DVDs. I think I've nearly gone full circle, as I remember that as a kid I used to spend my paper round money on paperbacks from charity shops. It was a part of my Saturday morning routine; cycle into town, put some money in my savings account, maybe go into the library and then into the 2nd hand bookshop.

Another vote for screws, nails can lift/pop. I'd spend a bit of time checking for, and evening up, levels too, before laying boards. It can be a pain in the bum and take a while but it is worth doing, and makes laying the boards themselves a tad easier, and the finish is both more secure and more attractive. If screwing, I'd also drill holes first to avoid boards splitting. I've redone a few floors now. One, a group and floor, I removed the old ceramic tiles, dug out the floor, insulated, a new concrete foundation was pourded then I battened and boarded - at each stage, more and more precise levelling was done. You'll not get it 100% spot-on but as close as dam it. Worth it in the end (especially the insulation). An upstairs floor was on old wooden joists. There, I laid a particle board sub floor over the joists and screwed boards to that. The levelling on that took patience as the old joists had developed 'character' over the years! Edit: as I was drilling boards first, I had two cordless drills on the go, to avoid having to continually change bits. Then I'd hand tigthen screws the last bit just for the more accurate/sensitive feel. You can tell I'm no pro but I know it! I took my time and played safe because I'm not experienced, didn't know tricks of the trade.

No, not as I remember it anyway. I don't recall the logo being as big/prominent as that... but it was a long time ago and memory does play tricks. As a child, I lived in Glenfield. The house I lived in had a willow tree in the front garden (weren't we posh) and I remember it being big. Some 20 odd years later I went back to look... some bugger had chopped it down and replaced it with a much smaller willow. That was the only explanation.

credit to Brighton, they're going at it

Brighton playing some neat football, creating a few chances.

I had a rice crispies mug once. I grew very attached to it and I took it to work to use. The cleaner threw it out. I nearly cried, it was all I could do to not rebuke them in an expletive laden outpouring. Point is, I think I'd buy another if I ever saw one in a charity shop, just as a remembrance thing. Funny buggers us humans.
