Disturbing report on ITV news investigating Islamaphobia in the Conservative Party. With the antisemitism in the Labour Party this is a dreadful period for our two mainstream parties and our national politics. I despair.

You thought Lineker had no pace?!?

All kinds of contributors at the time said it was around half that. I think @mad biker was one iirc. I think they said something along the lines of they get the 12.5 if he ends up our number one keeper and we qualify for Europe. Can’t remember exactly but that was the gist of it.

I know what you mean, I hope Boris has plans to invest in education in the North East. ?

You’re wasting your time mate, they were told last year that the up front fee for Danny Ward was nowhere near 12.5 million and was dependent on all kinds of add ons but it’s still been quoted ad nauseum all year.

You’ve not been round long enough to get our Owners. For all the lovely smiles, devotion to their King, nation, horses and Leicester City, the free t shirts, beer, donuts and beautiful buildings, they’re as hard as ****ing nails when it comes to business.

On that basis, there wouldn’t be a thread open ?

Yes sir

Reinhold Niebuhr. Nice one ?

Iirc it was said that qualifying and going as far as we did secured an extra £30 million.

I’ve known it intellectually for a while, but this morning it suddenly hit me at the very core of my being that in a months time our Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition will be led by two of the biggest arseholes in politics. I’ve never in my life been so despairing of our politics and future.

I know what you mean about the signings, but I know a fanatical Luton supporter very well and he reckons that their manager is the real deal.

No, but Charlie Hobnob did. Edit. Got in too late, the Nice one is much better.

I know? showing my age here.

Used to be the biscuit men when I was a lad.

Bloody hell, that’s a step up from Barnsley on loan ?

Having watched Pascanu playing so well last night, and seen how good Josh Knight is for our under 23s, I genuinely think we’d have been better with Knight rather than Tomorai last night.

He’s twice the footballer, not sure he’s twice the defender. Anyway I agree with the point that Maguire’s footballing skills make him very attractive to the top clubs and we should therefore be commensurated accordingly.

I think you’re right, though I’m not sure all of Boris’s misdemeanours are the invention of a closet media campaign ?

I really don’t think it will make any difference. Whatever he does, the Tory faithful will vote him in regardless.

Why on earth hasn’tAbraham played in front of Solanke and Calvert-Lewin?

Absolutely, no Hamza to ty and cover his arse this time

Does this mean I win the mug for predicting the first Leicester City of the summer on 19th June?

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Airports of Thailand Pcl (AOT) on Wednesday approved King Power Group’s $494 million (£393.3 million) bids for duty-free retailing at its major airports over rival contenders, including a group of South Korea’s Lotte and Bangkok Airways Pcl.

REUTERS/Jorge Silva The hotly-contested auction had lured international bidders seeking to benefit from Thailand’s booming duty-free industry on growing tourist numbers, and powered airport operator AOT’s revenue growth. Tourist receipts account for about 12% of the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia, making it one of the most important drivers of growth, and in 2018, the country saw more than 38 million visitor arrivals, according to Thai government data. Unlisted King Power Duty Free won two duty-free concession contracts and retail concessions at four major Thai airports, including the country’s main international airport Suvarnabhumi, AOT said in a statement. ADVERTISEMENT Its winning bids came less than a year after its founder Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha died in a helicopter crash in a helicopter crash outside the stadium of the Leicester City Football Club, that he owned. His death led to analysts questioning the future of King Power’s franchise. King Power, which retains ownership of Leicester City club, offered 15.42 billion baht (£392.3 million) in yearly minimum guarantee of revenue without tax, topping the Lotte and Bangkok Airways consortium’s 8.52 billion baht bid, AOT said. Another group - the Royal Orchid Hotel Pcl and WDFG UK, a unit from travel retailer Dufry — made an offer for 7.26 billion baht. For a separate concession contract for three major regional international airports in Hat Yai, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, King Power also outbit its rivals by offering 2.33 billion baht. ADVERTISEMENT It also won a licence to operate commercial services such as restaurants and shops at all four airports, beating local retail giant Central Pattana with an offer for a yearly minimum revenue of 5.8 billion baht. King Power’s current duty-free concession at Suvarnabhumi airport is set to expire in 2020, and the new concession will expire in March 2031. AOT, Thailand’s second biggest company by market value, reported a 13% rise in concession revenue to 16.7 billion baht in the last fiscal year.

Tomori escapes the firing line?
