Imagine a footballer who, at 23, was playing in the depths of England's sixth tier, while his peers were dazzling on the grandest stages. Jamie Vardy, a name synonymous with the miraculous Leicester City triumph, is the epitome of an underdog story that will be told for generations. In 2010, while the likes of Cesc Fàbregas captained Arsenal and Lionel Messi had already claimed his first Ballon d'Or, Vardy was with Stocksbridge Park Steels. Fast forward to today, and Vardy's journey from obscurity to Premier League stardom is nothing short of legendary.
Vardy's rise began when he moved to Fleetwood Town in the Conference Premier, quickly showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. His leap to Leicester City in the Championship marked a turning point. So confident was he in his potential that he included a national team appearance bonus in his contract—a clause the club owner found laughable at the time. Yet, this audacious move foreshadowed a fairytale career.
In the 2014-2015 season, Vardy's five crucial goals helped Leicester City narrowly escape relegation. The following year, defying 5000-to-1 odds, Leicester clinched the Premier League title, with Vardy's relentless scoring making headlines worldwide. Season after season, he continues to be a formidable force, consistently netting over 20 goals.
Jamie Vardy's story isn't just about football; it's about the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. His journey inspires dreamers everywhere, proving that with perseverance and self-belief, even the most improbable dreams can come true.

Have been reading up on Como and their rise and fall x2. 

 

They can't afford half a Vardy by the sounds of it. So no surprise Fabregas has mooted that rumour. 

 

It can really just be a case of Vardy arranging meeting with Wise and just enjoying a bit of a break. 

Como just signed Bellotti on a free - so their very rich owners can splash the cash

In Praise of Shithousery

gm-ac5aae26-2038-46ae-bd0f-131c8a568c4f-

This, friends and acquaintances, is Jamie Vardy, ace striker for Leicester City FC and world-class shithouse. His specialty is the extravagant goal celebration in front of opposition fans. I do believe he’d rather score on the road than at home, just so he can put on displays like this. A former teammate says that Vardy would ask fellow players how to deliver insults in their language so he’d know how to say “Your sister is a whore” to a Portuguese defender.

Shithousery, broadly defined, is behavior designed to get under your opponent’s skin and hopefully disrupt their play. Kicking, grabbing, taunting, egregious overacting in an attempt to draw a foul, that sort of thing. It’s a quality you hate in opposing players but love when they’re on your side. 

Which brings us to Vermont politics, especially Democratic politics, which is woefully short on shithousery. You might think we’re better off that way. To be sure, shithousery can be overdone; there are figures on the national scene who are capable of nothing but. (Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar, etc.) Vardy, on the other hand, is a topnotch player who once carried his squad to an improbable Premier League championship. 

We need us a Jamie Vardy. By “we,” I mean Vermont’s Democrats and Progressives. The closest thing we’ve got is Bernie Sanders, but he’s not active on the home front. We need someone in state politics happy to throw a sharp elbow in the opposition’s ribs, even if they have to suffer the tut-tuts of the chattering class.

he’s getting a documentary this season as it’s expected to be his last! 

Is this like the movies everyone is still waiting for or is it for real this time? :ph34r:

Last season I remember being behind the goal at Tranmere and hearing Vardy chattering on to the Tranmere centre halfs up close and personal. It was relentless. They just ignored him completely but he'd be in their ear constantly. Then there was a corner and the announcer read out the attendance which was something pitiful! Vards shouted "****ING hell" and then put his hand on his stomach insinuating a belly laugh as the ball is flying in from the corner! Classic stuff.

Genuinely don't think anyone or anything has given me as many moments of sheer joy in my life as Jamie Vardy. Absolutely love him and it will be a desperately sad day for this club when he's gone. Don't think we will ever have anyone better in my opinion. The undisputed LCFC goat.

In case anyone missed it. What ****ing legend.

 

 

Magnificent. Not always a fan of shithousery as I feel some do it when they don't have the career to back it up like Maupay. But if anyone on this planet has the right to be the biggest fcking shithouse, it is Jamie Vardy. Spurs fans have this. Romero you can fck off as well. Has perked me up no end after me dreading this game and this season
