Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but apparently the contenders for Premier League champions are down to six now: Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Palace, us and West Ham. That is according to the statistics quoted in this piece: http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2015/10/16/then-there-were-six-city-arsenal-united-head-title-race-161001/ Load of old pony, of course, but nice to be in with a shout!

I know it's silly, but that is so cool!

Can't see that at all. Most pens he gets are as a result of his speed and defenders being unable to handle it - and over the past year or so, I've seen several occasions when he's been taken out and not got anything for it (against Spurs away last season, for example). OK, the pen on Saturday was a bit soft, but it happens - Liverpool won one last season in almost exactly the same circumstances when Nugent didn't clear quickly enough. Vardy wins pens for the same reason as Mahrez does - because he's too good for most defenders.

Astonished that Hughes is only 32 - so he was in his early 20s when he played for us? Such a sad story.

Love this post. The teams he talks about as being nothing special are in third, fourth and fifth places in the Prem. Norwich are 13th. I think they will survive without problem, because they have a good manager, but have lno respect for self-deluded fans of any club.

I like this: http://sabotagetimes.com/football/why-i-hope-leicester-city-beat-arsenal-tomorrow

Thanks very much for this list. I have Kodi installed on my desktop PC, really just so I can watch City games (yeah, sad old fvcker) and there are some great links there. Saved me searching though all 16 pages, so thanks again.

Got Phoenix as well now. Must be able to get something for Satdy, FFS!!
-
I've enabled P2P-streams, but not Phoenix. I got as far as installing it, but it wouldn't allow me to enable. I haven't tried uninstalling/installing that one yet. I might have screwed up my Kodi installation, because I now have two File Manager windows, marked A and B, each containing "Profile" information. God knows how I managed that. Thanks for your help. I will have another go tomorrow, but I have high hopes of getting something to watch on Saturday.
-
Thanks for the links, Webbo. I've followed the instructions for both, but when I get to the bit where I am supposed to install the video add-ons, nothing happens. It seems as if the files are enabled, but there is nothing on the list of video add-ons. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I have uninstalled and installed twice to try and make it work. I did manage to install SportsDevil, so I am hoping that works, although i will continue to try with Zeus and the Robin Hood Project. Presumably it doesn't matter how many add-ons I have? Thanks again for your helpl
-
Thanks Yorkie and Webbo. None of the streams you mention are on my list of video add-ons, so presumably I have to load something first. Is there an easy step-by-step, or do I just google it?
-
I'm hoping for advice to save me looking through all 16 pages - I only just noticed this stream. I've got Kodi on my desktop PC, and I used to watch Premier League games on an NBC Sports video add-on before it was disabled last season. Can anyone help with advice on add-ons to enable me to watch City games? Thanks in advance.

He's still only 25 as well. He must look at where we are and think "I was a youth player alongside Andy King... I could have been in the same squad as him now. How much of a pr1ck was I?" Well no. He is probably incapable of such introspection.
-
Only if he'd been caught on a video.
-
I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. He was on our books for three years and never kicked a ball in anger. Well done him though.
-
I misread that: I thought you said it was no-one's game of the season, and was about to write a fook-off response to the Daily Heil. Mind you, that paper seems to like us more than any other, so not surprised we are Number One.
-
Speaking as someone watching from afar - I've managed to see practically every game this season thanks to the interweb - I think the atmosphere these past few matches has been incredible. It makes me jealous because when I used to go regularly the last time we were in the Premier League, it was like being in a fvkin morgue half the time, but just watching and listening these days gives me goose-bumps. The tifo for the Newcastle game looked amazing and that, along with the noise, must have contributed to City's performance. Brilliant all round!
-
Next season promises to be so much fvckn fun.

Well, I'm well old enough to have enjoyed the wonderful Matt Gilles seasons in the late 1950s/early 1960s, and as far as I am concerned, Pearson is easily one of the best managers we have ever had. The squad we have now is brilliant, and will only get better with a few judicious additions in the summer, and I believe that Pearson can take this club further than it's ever been. I just hope I live long enough to see it!
-
That would be absolutely insane. If we stay up, Pearson and his players (and they are, almost to a man, his players) will have learned a lot from a hard-fought year in the Premier League, and players like Vardy, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez and Schlupp will be ready to push on to the next level - just like they did last season. Players like Kramaric and Ulloa will only get better, and we have some great talent coming through the Academy. Keep Pearson and we will be up there in the top half all season.

InThe Guardian's football email, The Fiver, there has been a recent exchange of letters about the best white wine to drink with turbot (don't ask, it's too complicated). Anyway, in response to someone saying Chardonnay is too sweet, there was this letter in yesterday's edition: “If Roger Perry really was a sommelier pedant he would know that Chardonnay is always dry, and never sweet – if you will, the Nigel Pearson of the wine cellar – and would go very well with the inauspiciously named turbot” Now there's someone who knows his wine, and his Nigel Pearson.

In the late, great Douglas Adams' book The Meaning of Liff, he defines a Tooting Bec as "A car behind which one draws up at the traffic lights and hoots at when the lights go green before realising that the car is parked and there is no one inside." Similar thing, really.

Sex...? Sex...? I vaguely remember something about it...

My 58th anniversary today. I first went to Filbo on 26 January 1957, to see us play Grimsby Town. We won 4-3, and that was it. I've not lived in Leicestershire since 1967, and not lived in England since 2006, but I'm still hooked. And despite McClintock and Pleat, Levein and Holloway, and god knows how many lousy players abusing my support, I'm still like a big kid (my wife's words) screaming at the computer (listening to the Radio London stream) when we do something like we did on Saturday. Ye gods...58 years. I'd have got less for murder.

Like a City old-boys' club with Lloyd, Michael Morrison and Gary Rowett. I wish them all well.
