It's just shocking that he was a top-two divisions professional footballer.

Last season, Cannon scored 8 goals in 20 appearances for Preston. That's not bad is it? And he was only 20. I think it's a bit unfair to write him off at this stage.

My approach is quite similar to this. The entertainment in being a football fan is wider than just enjoying a win. That's the difference between me and my dad. He is genuinely annoyed if Leicester lose, and there is no other way to take it. I, on the other hand, recognise the silliness of...

I feel sorry for Luton. We know Sheffield United and Burnley are pure relegation fodder. Luton score a lot of goals but they keep ballsing it up for themselves. They've scored more than Manchester United, for example. I think last night's result is the death knell of their season. They keep...

Well, that was my first trip to Sunderland and my first away match of the season, so I enjoyed the occasion of it. Those were the friendliest stewards I've ever encountered at a football stadium. I was also very entertained by the man a few rows behind me who screamed at Hermansen every time his...

Yes, there is that too. After the last three league results, I've been wondering if this will turn into a 2012/13 season scenario, albeit with the wheels falling off later in the season than they did then. The Sunderland game is absolutely huge now.

It would be naïve not to worry about this.

This will be my first away match since our 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the 2021/22 season. I'm looking forward to the atmosphere but, crikey, this game will be very stressful.

It would be great if Vardy could reach 20.

I see he is now eighteen goals off the 200 target. It's a shame because it's not a huge number, but he's not going to get that amount for the remainder of this season. Even if he's on our books next season and occasionally coming on for a few minutes, I doubt he'll get any.

Amazing!

When was the last time we won 5-0 away? I know we beat Sheffield United and Newcastle 5-0 in recent years, but I can't think of any away matches.

I wish I didn't agree but I do, a little bit. Look how ungrateful we've become.

If the Beeching Report had been ignored rather than implemented, we'd be in a very different country today. Even the USA, not exactly renowned for these things, has been installing light rail in its cities over the last fifteen years.

I live in Cambridgeshire, so probably not. Sorry anyway, though.

I almost did a tangential paragraph all about that but thought that might take the punch out of my main point.

That's an incredible hot take, and you might be onto something there. I think you're right with the monkey see, monkey do idea but that, in itself, is terrifying. People are having public phone conversations on speaker basically for no reason, just because they've seen other people doing it?

Sometimes I wonder if between around 2015 and 2021 I was transported to a parallel universe without knowing. I remember the early days of mass mobile phone ownership: people used to hold the phone up to their ear to speak to the person on the other end. Nobody else could hear the other end of...

Yeah, sometimes you see him in the background of pre-match footage on social media. He's third choice keeper, ahead of Iversen and Smithies in fourth and fifth.

Remember Molla Wague?

Not much of age to go these days. Had he been unwell for a while?

Is this the team that beat Watford 4-1 under Martin Allen? If so, I was at that game.

It's worked though hasn't it?

Damn... I know what you mean. I sincerely hope he's not.

Okay, perhaps I should have used the word 'undermined'.

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. I watched it in a pub with a DJ's set getting progressively louder as the game went on. And, by the way, the dancefloor was empty the whole time, even after some attractive women finally entered the venue. Ricardo was incredible...

I will never stop finding that heart thing players do with their hands so cringworthy.

All very sensible stuff.

Coady could be the Gökhan Inler of this season.

Good lord, what a mess. Who would fall for this?

I should point out, the Cambridge side contained no less than three ex-Leicester players: Michael Morrison, Ryan Bennett and George Thomas.

I was there. It was a drab game but that was an unexpected treat.

This is impressive but remember it's one of these "since 2004, when football was invented" facts.

It would be great if he does it but it's quite an ask. If he does it this season, he'd end up with 30 goals in all competitions.

That was the tidiest finish I've seen all season. Wow.

Twat! That was liquid football.

Can't wait to hear the word on the street about what this means.

It is amazing when you think of the hype around his move. It was as though we had the future of Italy playing for us.

Something else on this game: I kept noticing Ricardo in a defensive midfield position. He was clearly not in the right-back position. Is that some kind of system where we have a different formation in possession than not in possession?

Is this the idea that if he reaches 75 appearances it triggers some sort of payout to RB Salzburg?
