There's an interview with Albrighton somewhere, he was at home watching with his family then made his way to Vardy's but needed a police escort to get through the crowds.

Remember Amarety and one other turning up late via a car that needed a police escort to get through the crowds. Can’t remember the other being Albrighton but it was dark and they didn’t come over. We were standing on the wall to see who it was going through the front door.

 

If remember rightly it was reported Kasper was at home and didn’t wven watch the game until his mrs told him it was 2-2.

Big Dan turning up late, I remember a blacked out car turning up and the window rolling down to reveal a smiling Dan Amartey. That night outside Vardy's was madness.

It’s been since he left really, I’m guessing when it all started to go wrong at Chelsea. He just posted a lot of quotes on his stories about being low and stuff like that. You could tell him being frozen out was getting to him, it would affect anyone. I feel bad for him, he could’ve gone about leaving us better but we all make mistakes.  

Yeah I can imagine it's tough mentally despite what everyone says about their wages. Think Simo started to unravel a bit towards the end here as well didn't he, although he seems to have picked himself up (and is getting Kingy for company soon)

I'm sure I recall an interview in which he said that he wanted to be at home with his wife and family - because his wife (and him) had gone through something of an emotional rollercoaster since the Tunisia holiday horrors... Felt for him and thought what a thoroughly top bloke - something we all know for sure now...

I'm sure he had problems when he was with us as i seem to remember Pearson comment on him having difficulties.

Fans around the Country are so hypocritical,have little are no Knowledge of the individual players Thoughts ,problems or personal worries.Even promises,or exchange words between club/manager with players.

 

Money is not their measure,But the success in their careers and lives,Family or otherwise...They have put themselves in the public domain,and if they Enjoy

the plaudits,the have to learn to Take the flak....But it seems the biggest Psychological barriers ,are fans hurt,emotions und often frustrated opinions,on their

Clubs ex-players.The "Schadenfreude" is or becomes quite pathetic .  Players careers and lives ,like any clubs fans,have their twists & ups n downs.

Depression,illnesses,injuries or pure Luxury of a Smooth uncomplicated path with only just a few aggrevations...But it aint money,that uncomplicates any of the individuals shit..!!! 

 

In Football or Any sport,modern group Mobbing from so called fans,is a General pastime and for some an enjoyable hobby.

I am an hardened experienced individual,and have rebuffed ,laughed off the negative vibes if Any was thrown in my direction,but also Listened and taken on critic when sensible or even irritatingly put in Front of me...I was also known in my Friend und Working circles,that I Never got involved or allowed others to demean colleagues or Relations in my presence. When in management or in other relationship I would First speak to the relevant person,before taking Action or Build und discuss an opinion...I find One finds out more about or over the Person themselves who does the criticising,than Any interned target...

 

There are obvious instances,where judgement or analysing individuals,even personally has its place,but still feels awkward,that is when One is responsible for

staff assesment at Any level.

Any Professional sportsman/women even the younger ones,throw knowingly their wares,with their facade character into the ring.All of us to some degree have to sell ourselves and what we have to offer,so again we have to Take the flak as well as the plaudits. To me it seems Too many of the 'whole' Take the Social-Media

Anonymous right to Mob and demean the individual for some pathetic self gratification,often Based on a real Lack of Knowledge on the full or even half of any given situation,and then if on a  shakey /incompetent base,egoistically create und Build a Platform of pecking, but unvalid opinions. Some actually trying to make  out its so obvious..( Unlike me ) worse than Now we look at Sports journalists...This forum has history,of being Short on understanding & patience towards their players...

 

If Rodgers and his team,can help to develope further, Soyuncu,Maddison, Praet,Tielemans ,Choudhoury careers or Rekindle Chilwell,Gray,Nacho shakey performances...a 75% success,then BR + team for me have earned their success & have earned their recent given belief & payrise ..

Yeah, I think you’re right. It obviously got worse when he left. I think he’s probably regretting it, regardless of the money. It doesn’t always make people happy.

He wouldn't get anywhere near our starting 11. Not on ability and not on form. Maddison and Tielemans are CL level players in the making, Drinkwater never was and his talent never suggested he would ever be.

Apart from when he played in the champions league and made the quarter finals. With Leicester.

A 6 month good form in 16/17 doesn't disprove my point. Albrighton also had a decent CL campaign. Does that make him more talented than he is?

 

Maddison and Tielemans are much better than Drinkwater.

Great video. Look at the Kop 

 

Also at the very end of the video, above the double decker there are two tall buildings, are they the cooling towers from the power station that was on the site of the current ground?

Getting the air out of a regular tent is a bastard. That looks like it would take forever.

If they're walking backwards then they won't see it as quickly, buying you more time to take it down before they notice
