Fatt Mills again

Certain I've heard his side of it before.

 

He doesn't come across as a particularly charismatic leader, which is probably why Pearson didn't fancy him as his Captain, and took to dismantling and then put a proper team together with spirit, immediately signing Wes Morgan in January 2012. Nigel was proven right how it all turned out.

Yeah I found the whole captaincy thing confusing. If you can't answer the question "why should you be captain" then you really shouldn't be captain. Poor from Sven and poor from Mills for accepting it because he felt like he couldn't say no. I'd definitely hold the fault with the experienced old coach than the mid 20s player who's just been signed for a fee way above his market value though.

2 excellent examples  

I'd like to throw in Josh Low and Scowscroft as well, back to when we liked to play with a right winger who's one and only job was to win headers from our goal kicks.

 

Also - I never realised how much Ormandroyd looks like Albrighton before!

I've seen enough football to know that's the case. Mentality is a massive difference between semi-pro players and pro players, especially below the Prem.

Damn!  - That's it for me. Fell at the first hurdle.

Hardly surprising he digs out Pearson and Rodgers two managers who didn't rate or pick him.

 

Also just plays up to the stereotypical view people have of both, Pearson the bully and Rodgers David Brent, yawn.

 

I don't buy Pearson can't explain himself, seems to be an articulate bloke in interview.

Big Wes to Matt Mills as soon as he signed.

i was at the watford game he got pulled for wes, he was disgracefully bad

 

also can see in his eyes he wants to complain about pearson, but results are pretty clear. he left and we eventually won the prem cos of building blocks nige built

How do I politely say this was a sh*t secret santa present 

 

Yes I get the gesture but you're telling me a Leicester fan hasn't read the autobiography of their best player which came out 5 years ago. I already have this!

Ah read it again! It’s great. Although I hate how he talked about Esterban Cambiasso. He made him out to be a right knob..

[eblair]

 

completely forgiven him personally and just appreciate what a player he was

 

only interesting things about us are how he was treated like a star player with vardy (not really surprising); would love to hear him do a proper interview about the time at the club without accusing the club of acting like Hans Gruber

You won't get that though. He genuinely feels as hard done to as kidnap victims.

I've never read it, as much as I adore vardy nothing about him in his 11 odd years hear has screamed incredible story teller or brilliant wordsmith!

Be grateful, at least someone has paid attention and got you something you might be interested in. I got a gin colouring kit. I can't stand gin  Everyone knows I'm a Leicester fan, I'm also bald and work for Aldi, one of those Baldi mugs would have been fine

Love this. We watch at the same bar as the Millonarios fans in NYC and have great relationship with them.
