Nice to see Skipp and Okoli up for the challenge in those final minutes

Arsenal are going to win the PL because all the other big teams are rubbish Sounds familiar but I bet we don't hear that said.

My brother and i had a competition with a couple of gals as to who could get to Doncaster from Leicester, they beat us by about 3hrs.

Baileys for me saw Love Affair as they hit the No! spot. Even the Corn Exchange had a few decent bands say The Spencer Davis Group as they hit No1? with Keep on Running

Football.aug · Follow Claudio Ranieri: "I remember my first meeting with the chairman when I arrived at Leicester City. He sat down with me and said, “Claudio, this is a very important year for the club. It is very important for us to stay in the Premier League. We have to stay safe.” My reply was, “Okay, sure. We’ll work hard on the training ground and try to achieve this.” Forty points. That was the goal. That was the total we needed to stay in the first division, to give our fans another season of Premier League football. Perhaps you have heard their names now. Players who were considered too small or too slow for other big clubs. N’Golo Kanté. Jamie Vardy. Wes Morgan. Danny Drink water. Riyad Mahrez. When I arrived my first day of training and I saw the quality of these players, I knew how good they could be. Well, I knew we had a chance to survive in the Premier League. This player Kanté, he was running so hard that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts. He never stopped running in training. I had to tell him, “Hey, N’Golo, slow down. Slow down. Don’t run after the ball every time, okay?” He says to me, “Yes, boss. Yes. Okay.” Ten seconds later, I look over and he’s running again. I tell him, “One day, I’m going to see you cross the ball, and then finish the cross with a header yourself.” He’s unbelievable, but he is not the only key. There are too many keys to name in this incredible season. Jamie Vardy, for example. This is not a footballer. This is a fantastic horse. He has a need to be free out there on the pitch. I say to him, “You are free to move however you want, but you must help us when we lose the ball. That’s all I ask of you. If you start to press the opposition, all of your teammates will follow you.” Before we played our first match of the season, I told the players, “I want you to play for your teammates. We are a little team, so we have to fight with all our heart, with all our soul. I don’t care the name of the opponent. All I want is for you to fight. If they are better than us, Okay, congratulations. But they have to show us they are better.”" #football

Look where you could get to by train from Belgrave Road Station

Yeah Ian Allen LMS Region My brother and I used to visit siblings in London and take in all the main line stations. Another popular destination was Grantham.

Was there quite a lot myself used to sit on the upper ramparts/parapets or whatever they were called of the bridge and also sneak down to the Roundhouse to 'cab' all the engines that were there.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alves-torments-comeback-provide-exciting-10754995 Will Alves 'torments' on comeback to provide exciting Leicester City reminder The 20-year-old made his first start in four months on Tuesday night as Huddersfield beat Rotherham 3-0 in the Vertu Trophy, scoring the first and setting up the second Jordan Blackwell 13:18, 14 Jan 2026 Updated 16:53, 14 Jan 2026 Leicester City's Will Alves scored for loan club Huddersfield against Rotherham on Tuesday night Will Alves showed what he can do and what Leicester City could get back in the summer with a goal and an influential performance in Huddersfield’s 3-0 win over Rotherham. Making his first start since September after recovering from a foot injury, the City loanee looked at his free-flowing best on Tuesday night, dribbling the ball with speed and close control, with the Millers unable to keep a handle on him. Starting in an attacking midfield role with the freedom to drift left, Alves had the end product too, and it ensured Huddersfield comfortably progressed to the last eight of the Vertu Trophy. For the opener, the 20-year-old received the ball with his back to goal, took a touch inside and curled into the far corner from 18 yards. Potential Wout Faes transfer fee emerges as Monaco confirm Leicester City clause Leicester City's transfer to-do list may have fourth task with duo's status pivotal For the second, he received the ball out wide near the byline, spun his man, and raced into the box. His goal-bound shot was tipped onto the crossbar, with Terriers team-mate Lasse Sorensen gobbling up the rebound. Now he’s back in the starting line-up, the aim will be to keep his place and help Huddersfield’s League One promotion push. “He’s tired after the game of course, but it’s significant minutes and I really enjoyed the threat he caused in the first half,” manager Lee Grant said of Alves. “I thought Cammy (Cameron Ashia) and Will in the first half really tormented the full-back and the defender on that side. So that was really pleasing. I thought Will was really productive in those moments. “Will’s closer (to starting league matches) as he’s been exposed to it longer. He’s also got youth on his side. He’s really pushing and we’re really excited about that.” Discussing his return to the side and his impact on the ball, Alves told BBC Radio Leeds: “I’m delighted for myself to be back out there, but winning is the main thing and being able to help out with a goal and creating the second one, I’m delighted. “It’s just my instincts. When I’m in my own flow, I don’t think too much. I just move with the ball, it’s what I’ve done my whole life.” It was only Alves’ sixth appearance for Huddersfield since joining the club on loan last summer, but performances like that will earn him plenty of minutes in the second half of the season if he can stay fit. The Terriers have lost influential Chelsea loanee Leo Castledine, who has been sold to Middlesbrough, and so there is room for Alves to make the attacking midfield spot his own, improving his game before returning to City in the summer.

Wise definitely Keown comes very close. 99% of the rest mentioned were mostly crap players so blame the managers who signed them.

Just been shouting at Reeeeeeeves on BBC Breakfast sitting there talking smugly about the Northern Powerhouse.. Even the titbit nod to the midlands/central England was the mention of the Oxford- Cambridge link.
