Popular ≠ funny

But what I'm saying is was it that funny in the first place? A resounding no from your boy I'm afraid.

Was it really "so good?" I say that as a fan of the first two series. I just think the club doing an OTD tweet of Vardy saying something you'd have no doubt heard in bloody offices / pubs / parks / gyms up and down the country for years and passing it off as HAHA LOOK BLOODY GREAT, DANISH FRIENDS AHAHA LEDGE !!!!!! is a bit bloody painful tbh but each to their goddam own my brothers

Nah

Convinced Allegri is the Italian Alan Curbishley (16-1)

One of the most pleasing parts of his game today was how he didn't hide after a dodgy touch or pass (pitch his side first half was understandably playing up) - he was still looking to make things happen and get forward second half - really feel like playing with Barnes helps him too, similar backgrounds, and they have really, really promising little flashes together. Thomas seems quite a quiet lad, hopefully with more experience he has a Barnes-esque boost in self-belief because he's certainly good enough. Even in Harvey's interviews these days it's clear how much more confident he

He was a footballer though my brother, can't have him in this.

I think the commentary team were likening Fernandes' impact to how the club shifted when Cantona arrived - they'd not won a league title in 25 odd years before he joined. They were League champions when Ronaldo signed, and were still pretty bloody decent (FA Cup holders) when they got Rooney a year later - so the club was already in decent nick.

Luke Shaw wears ludicrously big shorts

The corner was sloppy and there was a back pass that I think was made to look worse thanks to the coverage (Ward always seemed in control of it) but that aside he was perfectly fine - not his best game by any stretch but he's our fourth choice centre back, certain posters seem to revel in any mistakes he makes to the point of obsession.

Weirdly I didn't think he was as imperious as suggested today. He was fine but looked (understandably) rusty to me, then again virtually everyone was off it first half.

Great to make so many changes and still put out a side that very much feels "involved," if that makes sense. Every member of the squad offers *something* at the very least - changes today didn't just mean a load of ressies that aren't good enough getting a kick. We've got the best part of 20 very good players all capable of stepping in and doing a job. Need to sort those corners, mind.

What game have you been watching brother
