  1. Most people said it about Vardy too at first.
  2. Wouldn't even have needed to nick it. If anyone (especially Watson) could shoot, we'd have won 3-1 or 4-1. 3-0 or 4-0 if O'Hora doesn't do one of the worst passes ever seen. Fine margins and all that.
  3. That attempt was a right mess. Imagine the comments on here if Daka had done that.
  4. Any whose centre back rolls the ball gently to the other team, gifting them a goal for no reason at all, probably.
  5. Don't be daft. He's the only CB we have who can play the way Martin wants to play. Souttar's useless at it, Faes is the obvious choice. (And I shall stand by this even after he gives away one goal through a stupid mistake and then scores an own goal to lose us the game in the 96th minute. He's still the obvious choice if we're gonna play this way.)
  6. Just like I don't need to be a detective to know it can't be a coincidence that the hot summer this year happened after my cousin broke his wrist in April.
  7. Does someone have to buy both clubs? Or couldn't someone different buy Leuven as a separate club?
  8. Cuddy's great. I like The Gallows Pole a lot too. Recommendations for someone trying to get into reading? John Steinbeck's short fiction is great - try Cannery Row. All Graham Greene is good. Iain Banks - I'd suggest reading Espedair Street before any of his more famous ones, but you can't really go wrong. Of current authors, Sarah Hall and Elif Shafak don't put many feet wrong. Ditto Maggie O'Farrell. If you want something a bit less 'literary' but really well done, approachable and funny, Nick Hornby and David Nicholls are both great. Oh, and if you want something insanely literary, somewhat unapproachable, and often quite hard work, but also really brilliant, try some David Mitchell (no, not the Peep Show one!).
  9. I'd be surprised. The Vardy who finished here didn't look like someone who'd bang in 20 goals any more even then, never mind two years later and two years older.
  10. Not really. He's nineteen and has been in a new country for about a fortnight. No rush.
  11. Cracking resource. Shame we don't hear all the old songs so much any more. I always liked 'If I had the wings of an eagle...' Btw - the Iwan is a Welshman one is wrong on this - it was 'he lives next door to Joachim.'
  12. Genuinely...... is it actually? Can't think of any You've forgotten the Leicester legend that is John Farmer? More seriously, John O'Neill says hello.
  13. Not much money. And even if they turn out to be not much cop (too early to be sure yet) if they're a couple of experienced players who aren't twats to have in a squad with loads of promising youngsters, they're probably worth it. Say what you will about Russell Martin, he seems to genuinely want to use and develop young players, and also to want a squad that isn't full of negative influences.
  14. I take it you missed the last match when they were actually ok?
  15. All true, although of course some people obviously do have to be back-up players, you can't only have a squad of first choice starters.
  16. Honestly you're all as bad as each other. The people who say we'll definitely be fine because yesterday was loads better are as daft as the people who refuse to see that yesterday was loads better.
  17. Of course they do. Even the best keepers make mistakes. Schmeichel made plenty, including some absolute howlers. But not every game and not always the same mistakes.
  18. Fair play to anyone who has found that football isn't the be all and end all, and there is a whole life to be lived that doesn't have to revolve around LCFC. Good for you - there are indeed more important things than football. But all those people who are boasting about how they now chuckle merrily at Leicester's bad results - you're just being twats.
  19. He really wasn't. Are you thinking of Josh?
  20. Average in the air would be an upgrade on Yannik 1.0
  21. On the basis of his two league appearances so far this season he certainly would. First game he was a total liability, we'd have been better off with ten men, and yesterday was so far beyond a joke it went round the other side and became funny again.
  22. Of our current squad, in this division, he'd be my first name on the team sheet. I know that's a couple of low bars, but it's still true.
  23. I can. I can easily see them getting exactly ten goals between them this season. And being our top scorers.
  24. Villa did very well out of Youri. Got him for free and sold for 35M. We on the other hand won the FA Cup.
  25. 4-1 win. 1-0 down at half time and it's not looking at all good. Then Burns equalises, before Bristric comes off the bench at 60 minutes and gets a hat trick.
