Whisper it but Leicester City aren't a good attacking side... - Football365

…but they are bloody good defensively, especially with Wilfred Ndidi so brilliant. Peter Goldstein is back…

Athletic has been good innit?

I like it

 

[Volpone]

Yeah, I read it earlier. The main thing I learned from it was how we could easily have had Moyes instead of Taylor if Elsom wasn't such a blithering idiot.

Main thing I learnt was a reminder how close we came to total extinction and the huge debt we owe to Micky Adams for getting us promoted in the most difficult and challenging circumstances.

Athletic has been good innit?

I’ve just subscribed, and am impressed so far. Not just the quality but the quantity of material being produced every day

This week's Popbitch suggested that Rebekah has been helping the tabloids out in order to prevent them from releasing further, more incriminatory, details of Jamie's infamous casino spat.

Is Rebekah Vardy really Coleen Rooney’s Instagram villain?

The Times is "Team Beckeh", apparently, though I remain concerned that it took Jamie four days to defriend Wayne from his social media accounts.

‘I feel I’ve grown up. This is serious football’ – Is Josh Knight the next young Leicester player to make the breakthrough?

Having watched team-mates Choudhury, Barnes and Chilwell thrive during loan spells, the midfielder is hoping he can follow suit...

On the latest Behind Closed Doors podcast, Baker and Lineker briefly discuss the Cruyff to Leicester rumour and the Burton Albion rearranged FA Cup tie.

Gary didn’t know anything about the Cruyff rumour, and got almost everything wrong about Burton (said it was in 81, that the score was 5-0, and didn’t mention the missile just put it down to “hooliganism”). But regular listeners will know that’s par for the course for his recollection of his career!

he also thinks the Burton hat-trick was chalked off his record, but I think the goals stood (haven’t checked, but remember they were on Ceefax top scorer stats at the time!)

The Rooney/Vardy story is BIG. There's nothing else really happening in the world, certainly in the UK these days....

The trouble with serious stories is that nobody understands them. There are a few people who claim to understand Brexit. Strangely they are often found on both sides They believe they are the first generation in History to understand their own peiod. On the other hand everybody can understand Coleen vs Rebekkah.
A few years back there was a story about a lady called Carolyn Bourne who sent an email to her sons fiancee It was a story of no importance but it went viral because people understood it. Carry on Mrs Rooney and Mrs Vardy

Are Leicester better now than when they won the title?

Leicester's start is bringing back memories of the 2016 title winners. So how do the two teams compare? And could Leicester even challenge for this year's title?

I loved reading that.

On Vardy;
For all the sophistication the game can offer, ultimately such physicality is still the most exciting part of the game. The fact he appears to be half human, half ferret and appears to actively feed of negative energy just makes him all the more admirable

The ferret reference made me laugh

The ferret reference made me laugh

Always thought of him as half human , half kestrel - it's those eyes, searching for a weakness in the opponent's defence

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

The way he leaves defenders in his dust, I would say half human, half cheetah!

Half human, half blue food colouring.
