    Post Match Leicester 1 Queens Park Rangers 2

    I think I made the right choice, a trip round a brewery in Galicia. More drinking time as well, now I don't need to watch the highlights

    Pre Match Bournemouth v Leicester - FA Cup R5

    And a few nice glasses of port. Just a horrible game and aggressive away-fan cattle-penning.

    Post Match Leeds 3 Leicester 1

    A Leeds player had a firm grip on Mavadidi's right arm, I'm not really surprised he shot wide. I'm more surprised there were no calls for a penalty.

    Whoa, a good game Barca v Granada tonight. That's 10 goals in the home and away fixtures.

    Axel Witsel played very well last week against Granada, winning most high balls and defending well. That might be one reason Cags is a bench warmer at the moment.

    I watched Luis Hernandez play for Cadiz against Granada yesterday. I'd almost forgotten he played for until somebody reminded me. He was adequate but not great. However, he still has a great throw, all balls from the Granada end went into dangerous areas in the penalty area. With decent strikers...

    Ticket Sales

    To put it in perspective, the price to see any of the bands at the time was around the cost of 3-4 pints. I always relate life to the price of beer. I can't remember the price of football tickets at that time, but I reckon they were probably relatively cheaper in terms of pints.

    Maybe to do with the lack of promoters and venues. Back in the day, in my "yoot", you could see Rory Gallagher or John Lee Hooker in the Il Rondo on Silver Street, Geno Washington in the Top Rank, the Who at Leicester Uni, more or less everybody of the time at Demontfort Hall, some in the same...

    I agree, the life is being drained out of both in the name of control and corporate convenience. Fortunately it hasn't happened in Spain yet, the crowds are a mix of fans and are usually very passionate. In Granada the crowd are almost always singing, win or lose. One section, where the "ultras"...

    I tried to buy tickets for the Huddersfield game. I had to add guests into the system, but the system wouldn't accept anything in the field for town/city. Every time I entered a town name, in the UK or in Spain, the field went blank if I hit return or the Add Now button. I emailed both support...

    The Full Moon was one of my (infrequent) haunts, my dad used to work at Wadkins next door. There was a "smart" bar in Church gate where I was threatened with a glassing because my hair was "long" (longer than the squadie threatener) and my suit jacket had two vents at the back, rather than the...

    The Reborn Foreign Football Thread

    Not long ago today, the clubs and La Liga said that the game would be replayed at a future date to allow the fans and the deceased's family to come to terms with the grief. Bearing in mind that is the norm in Spain is for funerals to be held within 24 hours, it is very disrespectful to have the...

    The crowd were chanting the Bilbao goalkeeper's name (Unai Simon) in appreciation, because it took his actions to get the ref to blow the whistle.

    I've just seen a message that the match is being replayed tomorrow night and will restart at minute 17. A bit quick and slightly strange. If the same ref is officiating there wil probably be riots.

    I've just got back from the Granada v Bilbao match. After around 15 minutes there was noise and activity further down the side where I was. People were shouting at the officials and were ignored. Fans were shouting for the game to be stopped, many others standing to see what was happening, one...

    Post Match Leicester 4 Plymouth 0

    The first game I didn't watch this season and we go and score 4! Anyway, people who leave early are obviously not really interested in the football. It happens in Spain, but perhaps not as bad. A family of 4 used to have seats next to me, would always arrived 15-20 minutes late and left 10-15...

    It's often the way with pubs, life and other things. You need to use them while you can, if the landlord dies/changes/moves it's never the same again. As a (late) cycling friend used to say "Exploit it".

    The same can't be said for the match last night with Granada v Getafe. The fans were handed a red piece of paper at the turnstiles. I didn't know what it was for, maybe to protest against Mason Greenwood. It became clear as the match started, they were for the referee, who was shown a red card...

    What Are You Listening To Now?

    Perhaps for the "What are you watching .." thread, but relative to this. I recently finished watching Mixed by Erry, supposedly based on a true story. There was a lot of money in pirate tape mixes in those days, Lamborghini and mafia levels
