Pick your favourite Nazi

I know someone (mutually) relatively close to him who, a few years back, said he couldn't sleep knowing he was (potentially) coming up against Harry Kane. And I think that's the biggest issue with him. He's in his mid 20s now. He's not a kid. But he looks scared all the ****ing time. Get Aluko in

You don't have to do that much man

I'm your age, never been arsed about heart rate in the slightest.

No one will disagree with this.

Looks like he's playing football for the summer holidays

Had some great ones with Tilley ex of this Parish today, about 14 pints all in all. Hopology is really nice imo

I'm not an expert man so I don't necessarily have the answer there and I'll probably articulate this terribly. But it doesn't feel like there are any spaces / any amenities to drag a casual punter down there away from the city centre at the moment on the off chance. It's just pretty run of the mill housing and little else. There are opportunities for some really nice communal spaces by the canal for folk / families that might not live in the development, spruce up that towpath between North Bridge Lock and Abbey Park, but it doesn't feel like an exciting regeneration of what could be a really cool area with nods to it's past. Something like a (very) Diet Kelham Island is what I have in my mind's eye but maybe it's just not viable in Leicester. It just feels like they've had a bit of a sweep about and plonked some fine but unremarkable houses down. Maybe it'll come in time and the area by proxy will get more of those amenities and feel a bit more like an extension of the city as people settle there. Can't remember if you were a planner / architect by trade so keen to hear your thoughts tbh!

Ey

AND ONE THING I WILL SAY

Oh and DeMontfort House is the ugliest building the city has by a country mile, get it flattened

I remember the original renderings for those white flats on Bath Lane being on the front page of the Mercury in 07 (I think, or around then) and they looked very un-Leicester like – they almost looked a bit like the towers in Deansgate Square in Manchester. I'm sure someone on SkyscraperCity or something will have planning docs but like them or loathe them they at least looked different over a decade later we got this

Categorically not a 'dump' as such but I walked through it for the first time in a year or so last week — good grief the Waterside development around Frog Island feels like such a missed opportunity to create something fantastic for the city.

An uninspiring development? In Leicester? I'm not having it

Sorry, that was in reference to the convo above about him, I don't think that my post is a hot take by any stretch aha

"Out running" yeah alright pal tell it to the magistrate

Soumare doesn't have any football intelligence and he moves like Henry VIII. I can't wait until he's gone

Way to butcher this meme format

There's "not handling the pandemic well" and making honest mistakes – then there's taking the piss out of the general public and being the antithesis of leading by example. They made a litany of self-serving decisions, they weren't just simply out of their depth or inexperienced.

I weirdly quite like it I think, at least its half different Always thought our expansion renders just looked like a big blister

Early morning bit of jam on toast for me and out the door

That Dortmunder stuff is such a nice pint to rattle through pre or post train in the Rutland, so easy going

Barnes would be 100% withdrawing from squads due to injury after the World Cup if Scotland called him up. The timing of him suddenly fancying it is hilarious, not even trying to hide barely being arsed, fair play.

I wasn't around for this but I didn't think they got that nickname because of a "cool style," I thought it was due to the weather – and Peter Shilton would have a job leading a team to cup finals in 61 & 63 considering he hadn't played for us at that stage! John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent needs a brush up imo!
