A weekend for extra time

No but he would have offered something different and surely MacManaman and Becks played on the wing so weren’t really rivals. Most pundits and many fans didn’t think Gerrard and Lampard were good together.

PS - Just an excuse to post Muzzy's goals

Every PL goal. What a player, so versatile long range, headers, penalties and a dynamo in midfield. So reliable and vastly underrated by England and the media. The type of player that's hard to replace it at all possible. However could Jordan James go some way to emulate him or at least come very near?

I think it's missing a few sheep.

Norwich City have sacked head coach Liam Manning following a seventh successive home defeat, which has left them second bottom of the Championship.

He didn’t have a good day today gave the ball away a few times. Struggling to get his tackles in.

Are you watching USA? (hopefully this is not fake) Mr Commonsense · Follow In 1901, Dr. Allan Warner of Leicester Isolation Hospital took a photograph that would change how the world saw disease. It showed two 13-year-old boys — both infected with smallpox on the very same day. At first glance, they looked alike: young, pale, frightened. But the course of their illness told two entirely different stories. One boy had been vaccinated as an infant. The other had not. The difference is brutal and unmistakable. The unvaccinated child’s body is covered in swollen, pus-filled lesions. The vaccinated child shows only a few faint spots — mild, quickly healed, almost serene by comparison. Dr. Warner published the image in The Atlas of Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology and used it to teach doctors and the public what science had already proven: Vaccination didn’t just lessen illness — it spared lives. That single photograph became one of medicine’s earliest visual arguments for prevention over fear. It captured, in two faces, the cost of doubt and the power of protection. And more than a century later, its message hasn’t aged a day: Vaccines don’t just change statistics — they change fates.

Another first for Leicester back when we were seen as an forward thinking city. History of Leicestershire in Images Mervin Wallace ON THE 8th NOVEMBER 1967 BBC Radio Leicester (the first of the new breed of BBC Local Radio stations) began broadcasting at 12.45 p.m. from a transmitter located on Gorse Hill above the city centre. Radio Leicester opened with speeches from the Postmaster General and the Lord Mayor of Leicester. Following a preview of forthcoming programmes, came Insight: The Fire Service, For Children, The Leicester Scene, At Your Request, Termtime – about education in the area - and then, before the news and weather, highlights of the Lord Mayor's Lunch. The significance of the launch was underlined by the fact that the listings were featured in the national press.

that's not what he's saying though is it, it's his subtle way of saying he doesn't want a squad of players that are technically average and mentally buggered that he seemingly has to play. I'm sure he'd love a 25 man squad with the the main group of experienced quality mentally up for it players supplemented by a group of upcoming youths that he can give the appropriate runs in the team.

Aye who/what can you believe these days but still rings true.

Leicester City Football Club Following a medical emergency during Tuesday night’s match at King Power Stadium, we’re pleased to share that the supporter involved is now sitting up, talking and recovering in hospital. He’s asked us to pass on his heartfelt thanks to the medical staff, stewards and his fellow fans for their quick and caring response. On behalf of everyone at Leicester City, we send our very best wishes to Paul and his family as he continues his recovery

Just wanted to say I read through this thread and am blown away by how thoughtful and well-articulated it is. I know it has led to it being locked in the past but I believe it has resulted in raising the standard and fewer altercations. It’s such a refreshing change from the way the media usually paints football fans—as beer-chugging, dim-witted troublemakers. This kind of discussion proves how wrong that stereotype is.

John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent · Follow A Glimpse into Leicester’s Past In 1839, the Leicester Union Workhouse opened its doors following the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. Designed by local architect William Flint, it was originally built to house 650 people but later expanded to hold over 1,000. Life inside was tough — residents wore uniforms, ate plain meals like bread and dripping, and faced long hours of hard labour. The workhouse was deliberately harsh, intended only for those in real need. In later years, the building became Hillcrest Hospital for elderly care before being demolished in 1977. Today, Moat Community College stands on the site, with just the old gateposts remaining as silent witnesses to its past. It’s a powerful reminder of how Leicester once dealt with poverty and hardship — and how far the city has come. #LeicesterHistory #Workhouse #VictorianLeicester #LocalHeritage

It always has been the same pot of money being moved from one group to another depending on the politics of the government. Unless the country can generate more money to share we're stuck with that.

This is why they'll be allowed to continue to dominate the PL - the so-called “Big Six” benefitting from structural advantages or tailored conditions set up to maintain and support them at the expense of the other 14. Watch the Women's Super League go the same way.
