Maybe Cannon isn't very good at travelling on coaches? To be fair, I've driven to just outside Plymouth from Newcastle in one go, and wouldn't fancy myself to implement Ze System at the end of it... Enzo Maresca: Leicester City boss worried for health of players ahead of Plymouth trip

Two delightful assists from one I. Slimani as well...

In mitigation, we are forgetting that Bodgers managed to ask him to play at right back for half of every game...

Up here in Geordieland they have the True Faith podcast. How about Ture Faith?...

I watched this one in a pub in Nottingham wearing a City shirt, and it was so bad even a Florist fan bought me a pint when we went down. Now living in Newcastle, I fastidiously avoided watching last night, only to bump into Eddie Howe's lad at school today. He didn't buy me a pint: I teach, he...

Anybody else feel a bit sick about this one?

I reckon Michael Sheen to do a team talk might not be a bad idea. But only once we've tried and failed to call Savage. Did you know that he missed a phone call once?...

I lived with a Spuds fan at the time, and there was a good 10 days of mockery. And then he was in the pub (in Nottingham) with me when we got relegated to L1. I felt dreadful.

That no-look pass gets me every time. Ooosh.

I have to admit to putting some money on Diego Costa getting him sent off yesterday. You can all thank me for the final result...

Newport's going to be a tough game if they're above them in the table

This could be a genuine tactical masterstroke if our front three outgas their back three. If we ever a) get the ball and b) put it forward... Soumare needs to go and play fetch, big time. (As it's Brendan, I suspect it's a last roll of the dice though...)

Anybody considering going as Tommy Cooper tonight? It'd fulfil the double role of welcoming our poorly pronounced new signing, and warm-up comedy act for the football to follow... If only certain players/managers would disappear just like that...

It was the Lady Owl's birthday, so I kept well away from football tonight. Did put a number of bets on Liverpool though, so you're all welcome.

England Under-18 captain Sammy Braybrooke will sign a professional deal with Leicester City despite interest from Germany in the 17-year-old midfielder. (Athletic, via Leicester Mercury)

Howard Riley was a lunchtime supervisor in the playground when I was at High School in Wigston. Top chap, used to watch us play football without a word about who he was, and quietly knock the ball back towards us when it came his way. Had absolutely no idea who he was back then until my Granddad...

I always laugh at the premise that he was a successful international...

Theo Zagorakis

Where will we finish: 3rd Top scorer (and no. of goals): Senior Nachoman (19) Player of the season: Ndidi Best new signing: Bertrand Best young player: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Most disappointing player (old or new): Evans (sorry...) Most improved player: Perez (lolz) How far will we go in the FA...

Yeah, but scoring penalties? Does that impress anybody? Oh wait...

Quick question (excuse my ignorance on this game!), but why didn't Frank give Keith the pen for his hattrick?

I never like a New Signing article that begins with the adjective "Experienced"... However, I'm surprised this one's gone through so quickly under our noses.

I also went for us to win it back in August. And to be top Midlands club, and top 4. And also relegated.

I enjoyed many things about yesterday. Sometimes you just have a feeling.

I'm at work for a lot of today, but reading this has got the butterflies going. Sitting here, wearing my LCFC tie, winding up the kids I teach (I'm between Nottingham and Derby), not concentrating at all. It wouldn't be the same if this happened every year, and I love it.

Can't believe we've gone this long without positeave mentalitea, intensitea, qualitea...

An oldie but a goodie... How are the bruises, BN?

I used to work with a lovely lady with the surname Plummer. She married a bloke called Kitchen, and took his name. Thought she had more about her than that.

Claiming that one. Put money on a 0-0 draw. Also Maddison assist, so not all bad...

Good start!

Entire back 6 on the bench highlights a lack of attacking options. But I like the lineup, and good to have Ricardo there.

I lived with a Spurs fan at the time. It will live long in our memories. As will the hangover.

One slot for the winners, reliant on winning a number of 2-leg knockout ties against a selection of unknown or very powerful teams without the possibility of the home advantage boost we've seen in the past and with significant travel demands, versus a bit of consistency against relatively known...

Yes, but the chances of that are much lower than finishing Top 4, IMO.

So, what's a good season from here on in? Would we prefer Top 4 to Top 6 and winning the FA Cup? Are we going to mount a title challenge? Does the Europa League just represent the dying embers of a dreamt-of European trip for fans that fades with every additional COVID case, or can we...

Laced with Cointreau as well. Leaves a sticky mess on top.

Indeed. Sadly my nickname at uni stuck for longer than I would necessarily have wanted...

Nigella chocolate and pistachio. Filthy stuff.

Hodgson has said that Ray Lewington went batshit at half time and that had the desired result. How often have we moaned about not having someone respected enough who can dish out the hairdryer treatment? I had half an eye on the game whilst I baked a birthday cake for my better 50%, and I think...
