Southampton seem to be high and well covered in all these stats but it's not working for them so far.

I know she's a singer who's getting loads of publicity and who the media seems to think, and they may be correct will massively influence every decision on the planet. Other than that I know nothing about her/them.

I wasn't being serious just that it was coupled in the headline news with the debate assessment.

Harris will win it now Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president moments after the end of Tuesday night's presidential debate against Donald Trump. The pop star made her announcement in an Instagram post signed as "Childless Cat Lady" - a reference to comments by Trump's running mate JD Vance.

The 11 new appliances will become a regular sight in the city centre in the coming weeks, Leicester City Council said. The fleet comprises “two powerful street washers, three fully-electric machines that can wash benches, bins and hard-to-reach places, and six compact street sweepers, complete with two heavy-duty scrubbing attachments”, the authority added. But the money to pay for them has come from the council's own coffers - at a time when the authority is strapped for cash. City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has been publicly warning since last October that Leicester is facing a financial “cliff’s edge” and is expecting to declare bankruptcy by the end of 2024/25 if nothing changes. In the firing line for cost savings are the city’s adventure playgrounds and future Diwali celebrations, with news coming last week that the lights switch-on for the Hindu festival will not be going ahead this year. Given the bleak financial picture, LeicestershireLive asked Leicester City Council why it had forked out hundreds of thousands on the new machines, and what would be happening to the old fleet. A spokeswoman told us the purchase was necessary as the former fleet was “approaching the end of its working life”, and the city council had a legal duty to keep Leicester's streets clean. She said: “The new equipment replaces machines that have been in constant use in the city centre since 2019 and are now approaching the end of their working life. Those in better condition will be moved from their shifts in the city centre to provide additional cleaning power in Leicester’s neighbourhoods and parks.” Keeping the streets clear of litter is “a statutory responsibility” for the council, the spokeswoman added. This means it is legally obliged to ensure rubbish is tackled. “We have to ensure that we have the equipment we need to maintain cleaning standards, but a clean and welcoming city centre is also something that residents, shoppers and visitors to Leicester expect – and that local businesses demand," she said. Over the coming weeks and months, the two new street washing machines will systematically clean every city centre street, removing ingrained stains and the thousands of pieces of discarded chewing gum that litter Leicester’s streets, the council said. Work started in the city’s Market Street, with the "time intensive" task taking around four days to complete, according to the local authority. They are now “methodically work their way around the city centre, until every street has been cleaned”. Meanwhile, the team in charge of the new sweepers are starting work at 5.15am each morning to ensure that any debris left behind by night-time revellers is cleared away by 8am, the council said. The sweepers are also able to clear weeds from the kerbside, while two scrub-deck attachments allow them to be converted into street-washing machines, the council said. Streets with the heaviest footfall, such as Gallowtree Gate, are cleaned at least four times a day, while all city centre streets get at least one daily clean, it added. Residents can also play their part in keeping their city tidy, the council said. Overflowing waste bins, dog fouling, fly-tipping and dumped waste can be reported online on the Love Clean Streets website and via its app. Deputy city mayor Elly Cutkelvin said: “In an ideal world, litter, chewing gum and food waste would all be placed in one of the 200 plus bins we have in the city centre, but unfortunately far too much of it ends up on our streets, creating stains that can be tough to shift. Keeping the city centre clean is a daily challenge, but with this investment in new, state-of-the-art equipment, I hope people will see that we’re committed to making the city centre a clean and welcoming place – and help us keep it that way.”

According to the Premier League website, Fatawu has won 12 tackles across Leicester’s three Premier League games so far which is matched only by Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson. Fatawu statistic shows he’s willing to make sacrifices for Leicester City Whilst just one statistic, this is testament to the character of Fatawu who is always willing to put the needs of the team ahead of himself. Fatawu is the only player in the top three who is considered an attacker, with Nottingham Forest midfielder Ibrahim Sangare, Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz and Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero all joint second with nine tackles won. Sean Longstaff and Kobbie Mainoo complete the list with eight, with both players centre-midfielders. The fact Fatawu is willing to roll up his sleeves and work so hard for his team shows he is fully bought into Leicester’s survival bid and this will be music to the ears of Cooper. Hmm does this reflect badly of Justin?

There's a alley way near me about 40/50 metres long and down one side in the grass and weeds coming through the fences I counted 7 drinks cans. As I said in the opening post of Is the City of Leicester a dump? We used to be known as the cleanest City in England and the second most prosperous City in Europe

It also seems to be legitimate for it to be left on the grass verges of footpaths which becomes a problem on narrow ones.

There's been a definite change of attitude towards litter, as for dog shit yeah the the number of people with dogs has rocketed, still no excuse. When I see litter bins with rubbish strewn around them with in a few feet I see the change. Mind you councils are not always efficient in emptying some of the more inaccessible ones. People emptying their cars of rubbish in the gutter is something I see at least once a month.

Examples please.

wow a new word for me - thanks

Most crosses are speculative and he was under pressure and had to release before he ran out of space but he hasn't created much for us although we don't often have a lot of players in the box for the speculation to work.

I'm sure it did it was always worse that end. The KP however is nearer to the water and has high stands but I guess the technology involved in it's pitch has moved on a lot.

and dog shit free streets, pathways etc
