Maybe, they don't normally go there, the game hasn't started, they're checking out what the views like and the actually safe standing structure.

I accept the injury but not his age or experience as an excuse when you look at Buonanotte's age and experience he must have been playing in the Argentine top league at 17ish and there are plenty of example of younger players being given much better opportunities than Alves and even Braybrooke who seems to be the only cover we have for Winks. This leads fans to think either we don't want to develop him further and hope he leaves for a few £s to help the budget or they don't think he's good enough. He's not even getting a decent run out in the pre-season games to see if he's ready. Braybrooke is nowhere to be seen. That's not even going into the crazy idea of developing competition players. I guess the Liverpool lad will be the next transfer in. I think loans between clubs at the same level should be banned.

Buonanotte is a 19year old attacking midfielder/winger. Will Alves is a 19 year old attacking midfield/winger Sure Buonanotte has more experience but how is Alves going to get his if we keep putting obstacles in his way? Have I misunderstood their relative situations?

Concerns about the direction of the club

There's always a reason/excuse given for not playing academy players. Going for Promotion Going for Europe Trying to avoid relegation Needing to finish as high as possible for the extra £s Going for a cup Too young Too inexperienced Not in the PL to much of a jump. -
Maybe finding it a bit stressful or maybe didn’t like my company he didn’t explain any further, that’s how I remember it was a long while ago. I feel he was much maligned unfairly on here in my opinion. People make judgements on little information.

No, I went to a few away games with him, he said he didn't want to drive anymore and I didn't so never went or saw him again.

Faes only played for the first time this pre-season on Saturday, in the 1-0 defeat to Augsburg, with the Belgian afforded an extended break after his involvement at Euro 2024, and then suffering a minor toe injury on his return. He has a fight to keep his regular spot from last term. Conor Coady, captain in City’s early pre-season games, looks to be in favour with Steve Cooper, while the club have paid £15m for Caleb Okoli this summer, with both able to make an impression before Faes and Jannik Vestergaard returned to training. However, last season’s regular duo at the back will still have a strong chance of starting against Tottenham, as Cooper has been keen to ensure there is a fair amount of continuity from the Championship-winning campaign. Centre-back is the one position in the squad where City are well-stocked. They’ve now let Harry Souttar leave for Sheffield United on loan, while Ben Nelson could also depart, with plenty of Championship loan interest in him. Faes told the club: “It’s exciting. Everyone’s excited to get started again in the Premier League. Everybody wants to show their qualities to the new manager and the new staff. “Everyone’s on a clean sheet, let’s say, and that’s a good thing. There’s a lot of competition in the group which will push everyone higher, and then it’s up to the manager to make choices. “It’s amazing (being back in the Premier League). That’s where all players want to be. It’s a big achievement to be back straight away, but we know we have to be competitive at that level as well, so we’re working hard to be ready for the Tottenham game.” With Cooper’s set-up in defence mirroring Enzo Maresca’s, with one of the full-backs dropping in to form a back three when City are in possession, it’s likely Faes is in direct competition with Okoli to play in one of the wider roles. Then it’s between Coady and Vestergaard to take on the role in the centre. The club's final pre-season friendly against Lens, a dress rehearsal for the new Premier League season, should reveal more as to Cooper's thinking. There remains a slight chance the manager could opt for a back five, with three centre-backs and two wing-backs.

Make any male rioter share a single bed with one of their male cohorts. That'll put the willies up them.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leicester-city On the latest episode of BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, fan group Union FS discussed the growing success of the singing section at King Power Stadium, which has been running for two seasons: "It's come on a long way. You can really tell that there's been an improvement in each season. "At the end of last season, it was quite telling with the amount of time Enzo [Maresca] and the players spent with the section during the trophy lap of honour. That was quite telling of how much of an impact it's had on the pitch. "It's not just off the pitch, it's how it translates to the players and the fact we've had appreciation from them shows how the section has gone and how it's been received. "Other fans have probably seen that and maybe made them appreciate it more and want to get involved more. If the players clearly appreciate this then that's how we can help them. "That was the aim of the singing section when we set it up, to increase the support for the players on the pitch and moments like that are just nice. "It's been a much more enjoyable way of watching and it can hopefully carry on next season." Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds

Some say we're planning on being relegated, i don't think we are but I think it'll be plan B or will need to be because we are being forced that way as we can't get our first choice options to enable us to stay up and seemingly can't offload our Championship players to fund more purchases. -
These were two consecutive posts on my Facebook page Ahh at last - an amazing image tonight of what it really means to be proud to be British Taking back his country...one Gingerbread man at a time.

Maybe because older Britons are more likely to use/need the public services which are overrun for whatever reason and I'm sure there are many.
-
hence why i said 'too many'. Hard to define what is too many.
-
Only if we're not losing too many games.

I don't care anymore, I may regret this feeling but felt the need to air it.
