If we play like we have been doing then we'll need lady luck to see us take any points.

His closeness is debateable considering there's another Bournemouth player in between sticking his leg up,

Yeah I know, sorry i was just trying to jokey about it although I'm sure that had an impact.

So probably sexist but I don't know where one draws the line but it made me and MrsG chuckle

If you've got a USA VPN it might work.

It's on the NBC highlights 3.45mins You'll need a USA VPN to view.

Because we spent the 2nd half camped in our half defending.

He ambles around like Soumare

Shame he found one to sign for us on loan

Very good defending but awful distribution gave the he ball away so many times.

I think I’ve just witnessed the most uninspiring and frustrating LCFC team I’ve ever watched . I’ve seen worst but so were the individual players but this squad of players has enough talent to perform and entertain so much more.

The bottom line for KPFC is they want to use their Community 'projects' to give themselves a respectable façade to the point where they treat the none match going community better than the match going fan. They don't want the fan groups belittling them and stealing their chance of glory. They are looking to say to all those that have no strong interest in football - Look at us, KP aren't we a wonderful company.

He's not even using Bilal El Khannouss that much.

Waiting for Cooper to be elbowed.

I was playing footy on Viccy Park in the mid 60s and a javelin landed between my legs. That’s not going to happen today. There’s always been bigger older lads giving it the big I am and flick knives were very popular along with knuckle dusters. You’ve probably got a greater chance of being hit by a car on the way to the park.

Leicester Memories Graham Hulme · 27m · An old postcard view looking along Gallowtree Gate from the Clock Tower, with the bank building on the corner of Horsefair Street seen in the far distance. The card was posted to the village post office of Chacombe near Banbury in May 1918. On the extreme right is the old Thomas Cook Building, erected in 1894, which still stands, though it now no longer contains the Thomas Cook & Son Tourist and Excursion Offices. The head of the firm at that time, John Mason Cook, had resolved to build new offices which would meet the firm’s modern requirements whilst also commemorating the origins of Cook’s tours in Leicester and John Cook’s father, Thomas Cook, the founder of the firm, who had died only two years previously. The new building was created by altering and refronting existing old buildings on a site next to where Cook’s already had offices, and was designed by the Leicester architects Goddard, Paget & Goddard. The left hand side of the new building was occupied by Cook’s, as well as the Midland Railway parcels office, while others tenanted the remaining parts. The ornate frontage is of buff terracotta with four commemorative panels depicting in relief important events in the company's history, including Cook's first excursion in July 1841 which was to a temperance rally in Loughborough. Next to the Thomas Cook Building can be seen the premises of the jewellers H. Samuel who are still existing on this site at present. The premises shown in the picture at 7 Gallowtree Gate was previously occupied by Cook’s until they moved into their new building. H. Samuel moved into the old building in 1900, though they had previously occupied 15 Gallowtree Gate since 1896. New, larger premises were built for H. Samuel on the site of 7 & 9 Gallowtree Gate in 1980, and on opening the building was advertised as a new “Jewel Centre” where customers could browse comfortably on three floors. On the extreme left of the picture the building seen at the corner of Humberstone Gate was the premises of John Allen & Co. Wine and Spirit Merchants. The old building was later demolished and a new store for Burton's the tailor was constructed here about 1926-27 - now occupied by HSBC. The Burton's building was designed by Harry Wilson of Leeds who was a chief architect to Montague Burton's vast tailoring company and he designed many Burton's buildings around the country. John Allen’s premises on the site went back to the early 1800s at least and had originally been the site of the business of a wine and spirit merchant named Henry Richards who died during the 1810s or 1820s. By the late 1820s the business was known as Messrs. Richards, Allen & Co., though Henry Richards had died by this time and his property had for some years been before the Court of Chancery. John Allen appears to has been living at the property by this time and running the business, perhaps for Henry Richards’ widow, and bought the property at auction in Leicester on 29th September 1829. An advertisement for the forthcoming auction appeared in the Stamford Mercury of 25th September which gave details as follows - “The following valuable freehold estates, late the property of Henry Richards the elder, of the said town of Leicester, wine and spirit merchant, deceased: that is to say - A Messuage or Dwelling-house, with Liquor Shop and Wine Vaults, situate at the corner of Humberstone Gate and Gallowtree Gate…A warehouse, stable and yard, situate in Fox and Goose Lane…A Garden or piece of ground, situate behind the last mentioned premises…A Messuage or Dwelling-house, warehouse, stable, garden and orchard, situate near the town of Leicester, adjoining the turnpike road leading from Leicester to Uppingham…A Messuage, tenement or cottage, garden, and several closes pieces or parcels of land…adjoining the last mentioned premises…and the Manor of the south end of Thurmaston, in the County of Leicester”. The Leicester Chronicle of 3rd October 1829 recorded that John Allen acquired the Humberstone Gate corner property for £5,300 and that this was exclusive of £550 for the yard, stable and warehouse behind. This is probably the same John Allen who is shown in the 1841 census as a wine merchant in Humberstone Gate. He was then aged 55 and had a son, also named John Allen, residing with him, who is shown as aged 25. At the time of the 1851 census John Allen sr. and his family are shown to be residing at 1 Humberstone Gate, at the corner of Gallowtree Gate. His occupation is given as a wine and spirit dealer, employing two men. His age is entered as 67 and his birthplace as Market Harborough. Residing with him are his daughter, Ann (unmarried) aged 38, also with the birthplace of Market Harborough, and his unmarried son John Allen, who is given as aged 34 and born at Leicester. John Allen junior’s occupation is entered as wine and spirit dealer “with father”. John Allen sr. appears to have died in November 1854. His son succeeded to the business and at the time of the 1861 census he is shown with his family residing at the 1 Humberstone Gate premises. He is shown as then aged 44 and his occupation entered as wine and spirit merchant. He married in 1856, the marriage registered at Lincoln. His wife, Charlotte, is shown as aged 27 and born in Lincolnshire. Three children are shown in the census, John V. Allen (aged 2), William Allen (1) and Charlotte (8 months). There were also four female domestic servants shown residing at the household - a cook, two nursemaids and a housemaid. In March 1870 a notice appeared in the Leicester Journal announcing the opening of John Allen’s “new premises” at 2 Gallowtree Gate. As this is on the corner where the business had already been situated for many years, it may have been referring to a rebuilding of the old premises, or an alteration of the existing one. The notice advertised the sale of “wines of various kinds and spirits of the best quality” which were to be obtained in any quantity from half a pint upwards. Also available were Bass & Co.’s Burton Ales and Guinness & Co.’s and D’Arcy & Son’s Dublin Stout in cask and bottle. By the time of the 1871 census the family had moved to Ashfield House in Knighton parish, as it then was, on the Oadby Road. John Allen is shown as aged 54 with the occupation of wine and spirit merchant and landowner. Charlotte is given as aged 36. The children shown residing with them are Helen (10), George (9) and Frederick (7). Their father, John Allen, died on 30th September 1873, having drowned while fishing from a boat on Saddington Reservoir, just to the south of Fleckney and Kibworth. The subsequent Inquest, held by the Deputy Coroner, Mr Reeve, at the Queen’s Head in Saddington, revealed that Mr Allen had gone there on a fishing trip with several friends. They took three boats out on the reservoir and John Allen was in one of the boats with a friend, Andrew Montague of Newton Harcourt. They had placed two chairs in the boat to sit while fishing but after several hours, their boat suddenly capsized for some uncertain reason and both Mr Allen and his companion fell into the water. The people in the other boats came over to help as quickly as possible. Mr Montague was fetched out but Mr Allen was underneath the upturned boat. When they managed to right it and fetch him out of the water Mr Allen was found to be dead. It was suggested at the Inquest that Mr Allen, who had apparently been looking unwell earlier, may have had an apoplexy and the balance of the keel boat was upset by a sudden movement. However, there was a lack of further evidence and the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

I was going to suggest Eiderdowns + Blankets being replaced by Duvets but it seems you can still buy them.

Fact Slap · Fact Slap Westminster Airport. In the 1930s, air travel was really beginning to erm well take off. It was decided that London needed an airport in the city to be part of this new transport boom. A few ideas were submitted from putting a landing strip on the roof of Waterloo Station to a huge cartwheel airport built above King's Cross station. Another idea was to fly seaplanes off the Thames in the docks but due the amount of shipping this would be problematic. The solution? Go up river and build a huge structure straddling the river that could operate without disrupting the vital docks. Amazingly the best location found for this was just outside the Houses of Parliament where the river is straight. The design was simple, a huge flat top supported like roof structure with a hangar deck beneath, huge lifts inside the legs would take passengers up from the ground or river terminal up to the departure lounge, then board the aircraft and that would then be lifted up by elevator to the flight deck for take off. Not surprisingly, the idea was abandoned due to objections from MPs and new airfields at Croydon, Gatwick and Heathrow were identified were identified as better potential. Had it been built it's likely it wouldn't have survived WW2 and if by some miracle it had survived it would have been obsolete due to its short runway. It wouldn't be until 1987 that London got an airport near the city, built on the very docks that caused the Westminster Airport to be designed in the first place.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-cooper-wont-rule-out-9597216 Steve Cooper won't rule out striker change with Leicester City needing to address hidden issue Deadline-day loan signing Odsonne Edouard is waiting for his first Premier League start for Leicester City, with Jamie Vardy still the main man up top for the club ByJordan Blackwell 05:00, 2 OCT 2024 Steve Cooper would not rule out starting Odsonne Edouard alongside Jamie Vardy in a strike partnership with Leicester City needing improvements in attack. Edouard very briefly played alongside Vardy in the final moments of City’s 4-2 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday, but was not afforded enough time to have an impact on the game. For his debut the previous weekend, the Crystal Palace loanee came on for Vardy, while he then made his first start in last week’s Carabao Cup tie at Walsall, struggling to make himself a threat. City's struggles in attack have been a hidden problem. They have scored in all six of their Premier League games so far and there are only seven clubs who have netted more often. However, that's been due to the quality of their finishing, rather than their creativity. It seems they're not fashioning opportunities at a sustainable enough rate to keep up their scoring streak. They’ve had the fewest efforts on goal in the division, while their shots have come in from the furthest average distance too, with getting into the box another issue. Vardy has only had three shots all season, and only one since the opening weekend. That’s fewer than seven team-mates, including defenders James Justin and Wout Faes. Cooper’s system looks to only have room for one striker for now, but he did play with a pair up front at times during his spell in charge of Nottingham Forest. It’s not out of the question he tries that tactic again, although he needs Edouard to shake off the rustiness. “If we want to play with two strikers, I don’t think you should ever say no to anything if we feel a game needs that, or we feel we need a change in a game,” Cooper said. “That’s why you’d rather have too many strikers than not enough, or too many wingers than not enough. I wouldn’t rule that out. “We’ve been talking about the final third and service, and we’d like to have been sharper around him (Edouard) to give him more opportunity. But there were some decent flashes, and some little bits where you could see he hadn’t played for a while. We’re really pleased he’s here, we’re really pleased he’s played his first game, and he’ll be in the mix now going forward.” Edouard scored seven Premier League goals last season, his best tally since coming down from Scotland. However, most of those came in the first half of last season. This calendar year, he’s only netted once in 22 competitive outings.
