I'd prefer Lee Parsley

I just don't think you can rush to judgement. He is still developing, still improving and has a good goal scoring record. He might make it, he might not, but he still has a long way to go before he reaches his ceiling.

I know. That :who would you get' crowd are terrible.

I came across this Character the other day whilst walking the canal towpath near Foxton... This is Graham, and he is a year into a truly epic journey, living wild, cycling the 5,000 miles of the canal network in aid of Cancer Research. The Endless Journey as he calls it. This is his page for donations on the Cancer Research website: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/.../theendlessjourney I spoke to him for ages and he has a fascinating story but he has been grounded of late, temporarily stuck here with mechanical problems, however his main problem is that he is rubbish on social media. I mean hopeless. He just isn't being seen, so I told him that I would share his story here in the hope that the good folk of Foxes Talk might either get their hands in their pockets for a great story, a monumental undertaking and a fab cause, or at least share it on his behalf.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him

I'm not sure that this is true or fair. A fox that breaks into a hen house for example, will kill more than it can eat but left to its own devices, it would return for the rest of the carrion over time. People, clear up the mess and decide that it is is a wanton massacre and the fox is maligned as a killing for killing sake.

Of course we can't sell those that don't want to go, but surely, when it became apparent that Youri was going to run down his contract we could have found suitors that would have been attractive to the player. At that time, pre relegation, I think there might have been interest from better clubs than Villa. Those that don't want to go are usually those that we want to shift but are not daft enough to turn their backs on a Rudkin golden contract that they wouldn't get close to elsewhere.

I think that we were well used to selling assets and many of us understood the model. It was when Rodgers changed that model that we had problems.

If a player, especially a valuable asset, doesn't want to renew, then he needs to be sold. I'm sure we could have got takers for Youri after 21/22 that would have suited both player and club. Allowing so many players to run down contracts and leave for nothing is rank incompetence, only surpassed by putting average players on massive contracts so that we can't get rid of them. You get the worst of both worlds with Rudders.

Calm down. We have spent precisely one year out of 141 in the third tier.

Couldn't watch. Just too stressful I walked the dog instead.

Absolutely. I would much rather live with the occasional howler than live with this cursed VAR killing the spontanaety of the game and chalking off goals for a hairs breadth. ... Except in cup finals of course

I just don't understand this idea that the club doesn't promote youth. In this era, we have seen Chilwell, Barnes, KDH, Thomas, McAteer, Choudhury, Stolarcyk and now actual children in Monga and Evans breaking into the first team. I have never known so many youth team players breaking through in 45 years of supporting LCFC. Of the players you mentioned, Nyoni was poached and Braybrooke and Alves had long term injuries, are now on loan and likely to be in the next draft of academy graduates along with Nelson and the two schoolboys, if we can keep them. Genuinely baffles me how we seem to have collectively come the conclusion that the club doesn't promote youth despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Like it, but how do you pretend to drive a tractor? ... Unless you make the noise like when you were a kid and played war, pretending to be a tank by going tankety tank, tankety tank with you arm stretched out. ... Tractor, tractor, tractor, tractor...

Plus the club could make a fortune out of I blame Wellens merch.

He died nearby and his body was found here, but he's hardly one of our own. Daniel Lambert and Joseph Merrick are ours. That's the Leicester gene pool for you.

He was also fictional so it doesn't really matter where he didn't come from.

We didn't beat Ipswich

That is the result of 20 years of hurt. You are suffering the release of 20 years of frustration and pain. The pain of their having to watch us lift the title, win the FA Cup, play in the champions league, even winning those league cups and EFL titles, all the while with their noses pressed up against the window, curtain twitching, whilst the world moved on and quietly forgot about them. ... But of course, they don't care about us do they? No. Of course not.

More than likely, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to keep him and promising him a first team role for next year to try to tempt him.

I don't think anyone is expecting him to be a saviour but he is clearly a talent and potentially a huge asset. In order to stop bigger clubs cherry picking our youth, we need to play them. It's possibly our only chance of retaining him.

I think when things reach a certain nadir, gallows humour is all you have left.

I know that Castagne translates as chestnuts, that doesn't make it right or proper. You don't translate people's names, particularly if it becomes so mawkish that it makes your teeth itch.

I think we should have tried to keep Iversen as back up to Jakub if Mads and Ward go.

'Vesty' sounds to me like an affectionate pet name, a term of endearment that he hasn't earned. I will stick to the long version.
