    Oh Leicester City, what now?

    Maybe. Not sure it qualifies as a 'gobsmacked' moment. Maybe Vardy has finally finished thinking about it and decided (been told by the other half) that he will indeed join Arsenal.

    But I am prepared to be gobsmacked. I just keep fearing that maybe BR is going and NP is coming back for the 44th time. Bring on the gobsmacking. We can play gobsmack bingo.... Alleged Rape La Manga Fire Extinguishers Thailand MO'N at the Belfry GO4

    Oh Leicester City, what now?

    Yes. It goes without saying but 'something is going on'. That said, I used to get told absolutely all sorts and the club's control of its information was as leaky as a sieve. Now its much harder; they really have tightened up. A colleague of mine who deals with a lot of football clubs and...

    Essex net session

    I can assure you he's not a professional, although he is very good. He trained with Kent for a bit I think. His problem has always been keeping fit. He keeps wicket to a very high standard. His batting technique is also sound, but he doesn't tend to make big runs very often. I'm not...

    Essex net session

    I played against him last season and one of my friends, who is a good bat to be fair, took him to pieces. He finished with pretty abysmal figures. Batted well though.

    Post Match Shrewsbury 2 - 0 Leicester City

    What does everyone think of mackerel? I think it a much underrated fish. Even the tinned stuff is acceptable for a rushed lunchtime snack.

    Speculation The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2012 rumours thread

    Are you assuming its a defensive midfielder due to the DM in Bert's tweet? If so, I believe that actually stands for Direct Message ie ... check your direct messages? There is a load of stuff going round about Michael Owen today now apparently contemplating offers from Championship sides...

    Necessary Charity Request

    Apologies all - I know this is boring for most, but there again, you can't claim you've not been warned since its all in the thread title. Anyway, the long and short of it is a very good friend of mine died aged 27 some years ago of cancer. Since, his brother and myself have been raising...

    County preseason 2012

    Regarding Balderstone in that article on the QoS website, this part is astonishing: In the game where Leicestershire won their first ever County Championship, on September 15 1975 at Chesterfield, Balderstone was on 51 not out against Derbyshire. After close of play he changed into his...

    County preseason 2012

    Cobb really should score more runs. He's a real asset in one day/twenty20, but needs to get used to getting his head down and batting time in the longer form of the game. Still have big hopes for him, even if he's not come on in the longer form of the game as much as we would have liked.

    Pre Match Blackpool (A)

    Bit disappointing. Danns has won me over recently with his all action displays. What he lacks in quality, is forgivable as he really does give everything. Still winds me up to see him in the news everyday for one reason or another. Okay thats an overreaction, but newspapers, Soccer AM, Club...
