  1. One day, my daughters (who have spent the last 2 hours running around with the flags from today) will ask me who the best player I've ever seen play for Leicester was. I'll tell them stories of the Great Escape season and the goal against West Brom, how our club did the unthinkable, that goal against Liverpool. How I was there for the first game and goal, and how I was there for the last.
  2. Both. Statue and the 'Chat Sh*t West Stand' has a ring to it.
  3. From me he got a middle finger. Few others joined.
  4. This is how you know you should NEVER buy or read the Leicester Mercury. They gave Thomas a 5. The same rating as only one other player. Daka. Those journalists don't know what they're doing. Local journalism is dead.
  5. Give me one more tenure Big Nige.
  6. From where I was, the protest/chants after the game when Vardy was asked for final words was fantastic. Looked over to L and K block, heard the chants, saw the banners. Well done people.
  7. The scenes in L1 and K block when that protest took place when Vardy was asked for any final words. Magic lads. Well done. Co-ordinated and got a message across.
  8. Can't believe they didn't have Pearson on the pitch, same for Kasper. Benalouane and St Ledger but not them?
  9. The speed of that run to track back when Faes won the ball. Winding up the away fans with the speed of his throw ins too. Quality.
  10. The academy question isn't very valid. I taught a lad who was on the books for Leicester for a long while. (Was his form tutor, and had to do all his paper work) Academy prospect, striker, thought he was going to make it. Leicester converted him into a centre back, then released him and he's now playing in Burnley's U-21s. The academy up there doesn't develop players well as they go to other clubs in the local area. There's bigger pulls than Burnley and the club suffer because of it. The lad in question still hasn't made a senior appearance and was loaned to Marine where he got an ACL. The point is they have to take others cast offs rather than develop.
  11. Bit more traction about this picking up.
  12. These games are more exciting now we're confirmed relegated. Just a bit of a laugh and a bit more enjoyable.
  13. Intercepted by Rudkin's agents who work in the postal service. If you know you know. Get the tin hat.
  14. Love it. Pissing on their parade. Some result today considering what we're normally like at the City Ground, especially considering the gulf in league positions.
  15. Get Jako back. Came in handy as a bin bag after that season.

    VE Day

    Grandfather on D-Day was behind the wheel of an LCT's dropping Canadians onto Juno Beach. He recounted a story about how his vessel dropped a tank into too deep water and that another tank drove straight over the top of this tank storming the beach. I've since read about this specific event in a very famous Historian's work on D-day. He had a long involvement in the conflict, serving on the Arctic convoys too. My great grandfather also was involved in bomb disposal in Africa. I've got a great picture of him sat on a 500kg German bomb he'd diffused around El Alamein.
  17. I said a few weeks ago that there are reasons for keeping him. The big one for me is the fact he's evaluated the squad and will challenge the 'boys club' mentality. It's been clear this season we've not had the quality to compete. I'd probably keep him, and let him build. He'll be able to attract a better calibre of player and working with the younger players who respect him would be good. I do think he'll walk though.
  18. Fatawu without a doubt takes that award.
  19. Go pinch Doughty from Luton now they're relegated to League One...
  20. Actually looking forward to this tomorrow. Might see a goal.
  21. I'd honestly back myself for this. When Meslier came onto the scene, he was incredibly highly rated by Leeds fans. Then spent most of the end of the season when they were in the Prem picking the ball out the back of the net. Hermansen had a few good saves this season against high profile teams, but in the games that's mattered he's been nowhere. He's a player we should 100% cash in on, rip another team off for a decent whack of money and use Stolarcyzk.
  22. I was only jesting. I've been in town earlier and did consciously look for bin men and thought 'I wonder if it's that intern.'
  23. Put a proper structure in place at the top underneath top. It's that simple. Choose football minded people, ship out those responsible for farces like Rudkin and Whelan.
  24. Best thread for a while on here.
