    Fingers crossed the meds will get him back in balance. It's an unpleasant condition if it isn't stabilised.

    FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

    I thought I'd watch the game tonight. I don't have a TV. ITVhub needed upgrading, but wouldn't. Play store said I'd already got the new ITVx app. I couldn't find it. So I decided to use Hesgoal, as they've been showing games. The site has been seized by law enforcement. As has weakstreams...

    Post Match Leicester 2 Leeds 0

    When we won the league we were praised for our conditioning, especially our recovery programs. Every individual was 'stress tested' after a game and their training was adjusted for the coming week. I remember Loughborough University providing staff/ students to help in the monitoring. Does this...

    Rodgers future (post So'ton defeat)

    I really hope that this quote was part of a larger, more positive response to the question. If it was another distancing of himself from the actions of the players then I'd like to see the club explore the possibility of putting him on gardening leave until his contract expires. Sadly I'm...

    Rodgers future

    Maybe SilverFox could help out with regards to contracts. Can an employee, with a position like Rodgers', be told to focus on particular duties and have others removed from their responsibility. Could we bring in a mentor? Or would this lead to constructive dismissal? I'm perplexed that Brendan...

    Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2022 rumours thread

    If we remain with a bloated squad after the transfer window closes can we redraft contracts with the excess squad players that would allow their wages to be removed from ffp consideration? Could the be designated a role that was exempt from the ffp wage bill?

    Women's EURO 2022

    Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2022 rumours thread

    If the young players weren't deemed good enough wouldn't it have been in the club's interest to hand them a few undeserved caps to bolster the CVs and then try to move them on? Nelson might end up at Macclesfield, as long as he has decent mobile signal when he's round his nan's.

    Premier League 2021/22

    Brown Nose you stated that, "If our rivals continue to throw money at their 'projects', irrespective of idiocy and error, they will eventually surpass our model. It's just inevitable." You then state you've been expecting new investors in the club. My question would be what return would these...

    The Jamie Vardy appreciation thread

    I would love it if Jamie was able to overhaul Michael Owen's PL goal tally. If he could achieve before Xmas 2022 I'd be ecstatic.

    I must tip my hat to Perez. His 2nd was very good. His first goal was sublime. He is an exceptionally technical ball player.

    I'm certain there is value in using xG. I'd assume our recruiting takes it into account. BN you seem to suggest that we will return to the average and we are over achieving, but surely that's one area that we could exploit. Do you purchase a striker that is performing below their xG, or one...

    Post Match Leicester 3 Norwich 0

    As a young teenager I played cricket with some wily old players. I'd be tear-arsing around trying so save every run. Keith (our aging bowler) would be throwing it in underarm, rubbing his shoulder, elbow, back etc. He moaned constantly about the futility of playing, due to the pain. If you...

    Roma Tickets

    How can they sell a pair of tickets rows apart? Surely that defeats the purpose of the family enclosure and stretches the club's rules of children under a certain age being accompanied? (Or could it be the ticket was for an under 18 and the rule is under 15?) Can you buy 2 tickets normally that...

    Ffs does anyone need a babysitter on Thursday? I need a well behaved child to accompany me, otherwise I can't purchase a ticket. I throw in a bag of Star Mix and a Fanta.

    Pre Match Leicester v Roma

    FFS, i actually thought that removing the stupid ticket pdf and replacing it with a normal ticket page I'd be allowed to purchase one. It's only when you select a seat it tells you that the event is no longer available, or you do not qualify to purchase. I've already bloody travelled to...

    Post Match PSV Eindhoven 1 Leicester 2

    Sadly I wasn't able to see too much after the final whistle. I did see excited/ happy substitutes. I did see players that felt included. How much would it cost to replace Caglar, Hamza & Amartey, etc and still get the same engagement?

    Post Match Leicester 2 Crystal Palace 1

    Are all penalties worth 0.76? I'm sure I read that there is one xG company out there that aggregates multiple chances from a single passage of play, so as to avoid this obvious error.

    Isn't encroachment an absolute? Just like offside it can't be debated. I thought Brown Nose loved VAR for its absolutes.

    In real time I felt that Varane got himself in a poor position and panicked. This season I've felt referees have allowed more physical challenges and it's been better for the game. I'm not disputing that Varane didn't feel pain initialy, but prior to Maddison shooting he was sat up and...

    I'm watching a different game. There have been some fantastic passages of play. There has also been some dross. We do need to get the ball forward quicker. Kasper's distribution has been crap.

    Post Match Leicester 2 West Ham 2

    What has struck me over the last few years has been the absence of an outlet pass that encourages forward movement. We play across the back line, more in hope than expectation. At times it feels that we play ^^^, instead of <<<, >>>. We are struggling to advance the ball forward. It invites a...

    I'd think that you are afforded more leniency at a higher club. You tend to have more time to show off your attacking repertoire went you aren't running backwards, screaming.
