I'm assuming you won't be wanting the singing section or next to the away fans... Among the quiet people everyone moans about sounds best! Also if you think you might need the sensory room, somewhere near that (I have no idea where it is but I assume somewhere in the west stand?) The west stand blocks towards the corners are fairly restrained in my experience, and probably a good bet for your situation.

If you're lucky enough to have a dentist...! There's more to life as a football fan than the standard of play and the level of success! It's just different now, is all. These days you pay a fortune to sit in your own sheltered seat, watching phenomenal athletes who are all ridiculously skilful; back in the day you paid pennies to stand in the rain behind a giant, trying to watch two bunches of cloggers kick lumps out of each other. Who's to say if one is better than the other? But they're certainly very different experiences.
-
Well I was probably at most of those, and nowadays it takes me a while to persuade my aging limbs out of my seat! Seats themselves are probably the biggest difference. Being in a bunch of excited people on a terrace is a very different experience to an all-seater ground. It's sad that younger people will never know that experience of being able to rock up, pay on the gate and find the spot on the terrace where you want to be and with the people you want to be with. Also it probably costs about ten times as much to go to a match now, so it's hardly conducive to younger people with less money. Basically modern life is rubbish.

185. It would have been 186 but we'll get a penalty deep in stoppage time in the last game of the season and his last act in a Leicester shirt will be to blast it absolutely miles over the bar. It'll make that one v Everton in 2016 look like a good effort.

On the whole the big clubs pretty much always have remained the big clubs though. Nobody's ever been able to join their big club club without finding a sugar daddy. Once upon a time the sugar daddy would be a successful local butcher or builder, now it's more likely to be a dictator from an oil-rich state, but it's still the same setup, even if the numbers involved have got a bit bigger.

Just imagine if Mavididi, Fatawu and Daka could all shoot as well as they can do other stuff...!
-
It certainly will. Talk about end of an era. One statue wouldn't do him justice. FOUR huge statues, one outside each corner of the ground. I suggest these classic Vardy poses ...

And quite possibly doing exactly that deliberately. They don't want peace any more than Hamas do. I said earlier that we need the people on both sides who want to find a solution to be the ones in charge. The situation at the moment is the opposite - the ones in charge on both sides are the ones who want to wipe the other side off the face of the earth. With either Hamas or this Israeli government in place there is no chance of peace, as neither of them want it - unless it's achieved by having completely removed the other from the equation. As far as I can see they're both as bad as each other (the governments, of course, not the ordinary people). A plague on both their houses.
-
Absolutely. No chance. Or indeed while this Israel government is in place. They've both made it very clear that they want a one state solution. Sadly the people on each side who do want to find a solution aren't in a position to make the decisons. Hopefully that can change.
-
Barring injuries you might be right. And without wanting to be too insulting, I'm not convinced he's got a reliably quick enough football brain to play Enzoball, certainly in midfield...
-
He's just classy. Him and Ricky P really have no business being at this level; they're ridiculously better than almost everyone else in this league. Probably say the same for Faes and Mads as well. Maybe KDH too. And Vestergaard. That's over half the team. No wonder we're doing ok. So far.
-
Obviously I love the guy, and he can do no wrong, but if Vardy is one of our best two options in the Premier League next season then we'll have problems.
-
Is it ok if I convert to Enzoism, or would it make me a heretic?
-
Such a shame he's gone. He'd have been perfect for Enzoball, what with his reliable passing and unflappable composure in tight spaces...
-
Hideously. But there are people on both sides who want to find a solution. It'd be nice if those people were in charge on both sides at the same time. Then there might be a chance.
-
I just wish we'd try to finish games off sometimes instead of sitting back to defend 1-0 leads.
-
Well, they would if they were playing for Man City or Liverpool. But probably not if they were playing for Rotherham or QPR.
-
I think we as fans easily underestimate how important this is. We (naturally) look at defenders primarily as defenders (well I do, anyway), but I genuinely suspect that for Enzo defending, while obviously not unimportant, is kind of a bonus, and he'll accept some defensive deficiencies if the ball-playing stuff is good enough.
-
I guess if he could finish as effectively as he does other stuff, he'd be at a much bigger club than us!
-
You could just remove the punching people in the head bit. You'd still keep all the skills and techniques, you'd just avoid the risk of massive brain damage. No, me neither. It would appear to need a pretty fundamental shift in what's allowed. But then they seem to be moving in that direction, and it's still rugby, so I'm sure it's doable. Exactly. So it's pretty clear that we have to look very seriously at adjusting sports to remove the clear risk of what is avoidable damage.
