Vacamion

The first 30 minutes of that was dreadful. The following 15 minutes were just intermittently horrid. Ewwww. Miracles can happen, otherwise we wouldn't watch, but I really can't see us getting anything here today.

COYB

Can't believe this thread has been going as long as it has and not one a single post highlights the obvious and number one way to improve Leicester City's fortunes on the pitch Just get the opposition fans to sing bad stuff about Jamie Vardy's wife.

That Connor McGregor bloke seemed so nice, so I'm shocked. /s

Have we already got their money, or will we be reverting to King Power / No sponsor mid season?

John Souttar MOTM, I think.

3-1

Change of gear, but this was the weather forecast on my local BBC news (Reporting Scotland) earlier: Interesting that the towns of Tongue and Wick were highlighted. Kenneth Williams' head would have exploded.

Twitter was full of unwanted views, bots, porno content in replies to stuff that was nothing to do with porn, unwanted ads and, towards the end, lots of Musk appearing on the timeline tweeting "Hmm interesting" in response to posts by users with names like "MagaRussian8764987" saying weird stuff like "Maybe the USA should buy Australia and nuke the moon". Doomscrolling that shit was unhealthy. I deleted Twitter and went over to Bluesky last month. Now I just doomscroll FoxesTalk.

Ref has a bit of main character energy.

Too big for Cov

Cov fans threatening to rip up their season tickets about the prospect of Lampard in charge is quite entertaining.

I thought there was a recession on? People been setting off fireworks all around my house without much downtime for a few hours. My next door neighbour's dog, poor thing, has been barking its head off after every bang and crash for hours without pause, too. The last 3 hours of my life can be summarised by: BANG WOOF x a million

Football, she is a cruel mistress

Peter Drury's technique at key moments of simply shouting out the name of the player doing stuff instead what they are doing, or how they are doing it, leads me to conclude that when he and Mrs Drury are in the boudoir at Drury Towers, and reach the height of their passion, he just yells out "PETER DRURY", and because of this, Mrs Drury secretly hates him, along with the rest of us.

Two things that are dissimilar can be true at the same time. It can be true that Soumaré had a decent game the other night, running, tackling and laying it off like a real baller... At the same time it can also be true that Bouba has generally been a crushing disappointment in a City shirt, largely characterised by him walking about looking disinterested, whilst opponents run past him. If Cooper has found a way get a regular tune out of him, it will be very much to Cooper's credit.

I just want to add that I never realised that when people talk about "The Pyramid" at Glastonbury, they were not talking about the stage. Or so I found out when opening the door to the portacrappers there in the 1990s with 3 days worth of full guts.

From The Times' report of the match, they mention JJ three times: Goal one: Goal two: Goal three: Not quite the way Justin wanted to see his name in lights, was it?

Second string team for understandable reasons, but we concede soooo many chances and goals. Many of our new signings look nowhere near it. Sigh.

Looked like Justin was playing in attack the last 5 minutes of the half

Told ya

We are back, baby

Bouba liked Dalot's work so much he gave him a pat on the back.

Ripped to bits, there.
