Knutsen has done an unbelievable job at Bodo. But he's 55 and never managed outside Norway. Premier League would be a huge step up relatively late on in his career.

I reckon Reform have maybe a 30% chance of winning Boston and Skegness but that's it. The absolute funniest (unfortunately unlikely) scenario there is that Reform and Conservatives split the gammon vote and Labour squeeze through the middle.

David Platt is a strange inclusion in this list for many reasons, not least because he’s not from Leeds and has never played for Leeds.

What a fantastic interview. What a bloke. Would love to see him come back in a coaching role once he’s finished playing. Maybe as manager one day, who knows.

Outcomes in order of preference: 1. Enzo stays 2. Enzo goes 3. Enzo given new multi-year, multi-million contract We absolutely cannot have another Brendan situation where a manager holds us to ransom. He’s done a good job so far but no man is bigger than the club.

Hilariously that was true when the boundaries were confirmed. But evidence from the last set of council elections and YouGov’s MRP polls suggests the new boundaries actually might work in Labour’s favour.

Long story short. There was a boundary review during the Coalition years which proposed reducing the number of MPs from 650 to 600. That was ditched due to a Parliamentary rebellion because turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. The Boundary Commission went back to the drawing board but the number of electoral events between 2015 and 2019 (3 general elections and a referendum) meant they couldn’t get round to redrawing the boundaries. The last 3 or 4 years is the first opportunity they’ve had to do the work. So no it’s not normal to have this many boundary changes but it’s also not normal to have this long between boundary reviews.

Yep that’s a pretty safe Tory seat to be fair. I notice the boundaries are changing for this election but don’t know enough about the area to know whether that will shift the dial much. If they’re losing there then they really are on for wipeout.

If you don't mind saying, what constituency are you in? There may not actually be that many safe Tory seats in this election, so your vote may not be wasted as it might have been in the past.

Could be our first goth manager. Gerrimin.

Corberan I like but would want a clause in his contract banning him from wearing skinny jeans.

Will come back here with a prediction in about 4 weeks once I've done some canvassing (for Labour obviously, I'm not mental).

Get so emotional thinking about this bloke. He deserves all the happiness in the world. Grazie di tutto Claudio.

They had a good end to the season and Schumacher looks to have turned them round a bit. Their squad last season was better than their league position suggests and it looks like they're investing again this summer. I expect they'll be targeting the play-offs next season. And Coady wouldn't need to move house. It makes sense but, as others have said, only if Stoke are either paying a big fee to take him permanently or all his wages to get him on loan.

I thought our fans were bipolar but Leeds are on a different level.

Really not keen on this one, given his age and the suggested price. Would hope we can be more creative than just going for the bloke who scored most Championship goals last season. Evidence from our recruitment last summer suggests there will be other younger and less obvious targets.

Markets were fearful of a hike in US interest rates but the Fed held. European Central Bank hinted that it could cut rates next month. As a general rule interest rates down = market confidence (and hence stock prices) up.

Have done a fair bit of volunteering with homeless charities over the years. The difference between being homeless and not being homeless in my experience has very little to do with the choices made, but with having a support network when those choices are poor ones or they lead to bad outcomes. I made some pretty poor decisions as a teenager/young adult. The reason I didn't end up being turfed out my home and having to couchsurf with friends is that my parents loved me and I always had a safe space to go back to, no matter what stupid things I'd done. Pretty much every young homeless person I worked with in the hostels I've volunteered in came from homes where parents were either straight up abusive or just didn't care. Sometimes drugs were involved early on but often substance abuse came much later, when they became long-term homeless.

Want him to keep playing for us as long as possible. Mainly because he’s our greatest ever player and I love watching him in a Leicester shirt, but also because the more he plays the less he talks.

Can see our first XI looking something like this for the first game of the season. Mads Ricardo Faes New CB Justin Sensi Winks New CM Fatawu Vardy Mavididi Subs: Jakub, Coady, Nelson, Alves, Braybrooke, Cannon, Hamza, New Winger, New CM KDH to be sold, sadly. Vesty and Ndidi let go, Vardy signs a new contract. I'm not wild about Faes but can't see any takers for him and Enzo seems to like him. I think Nelson will be a regular starter by the end of the season.

He was. I was on the pitch and he was a few metres away singing along to “One Nigel Pearson”. Was a fantastic day out but more of a festival atmosphere than last night which was bordering on feral (in a good way).

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Steve Walsh returning from injury to win us promotion against our local rivals. An Australian giant distracting the Palace defence. Coca Cola and Worthington. On the pitch with Big Nige. Andrea Bocelli. A Tielemans arrow. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the Preston rain.

I’m not far off 40 and I think that might be the best away end I’ve ever been in.

Szmodics is 29 in September. Of those James is the one I’d want to spend money on. Good age and looks like he’s got all the attributes to be a good player at PL level.

Half time isn't long enough for those extended metaphors.
