Natasha Kaplinski. :lol: :lol:

Is that why there's going to be so many changes at the BBC before the Election?

Is he still alive? Harry Rednapp's probably looking for a bit of experience at Southampton. :lol:

Outstanding post. Lots of specific information to digest and much of it just as I suspected regarding the ground financing. City would be in a financial and competive cul-de-sac for years if not for the rest of their existence. You can certainly understand why they embraced the groundshare...

If nothing much has changed I must be having weird dreams because the transformation at City has been so pronounced that it wouldn't surprise me if Levein got offered a part as The Genie in Aladdin by an enterprising some theatre group trying to boost Christmas Pantomime sales. I've listed...

Not at my age, mate. :lol:

That's appropriate for a w..k..r.

It's pretty mean but not as scandalous as insurers charging teenagers £1500-1800 for their first insurance premium... and having a Government that does f--k-all about it when there's loads of things they could do.

Can there be a better nickname?. Don't know why but reminds me of Joe Bugner's number plate on his gold coloured roller when he lived in St Ives: 1 ON U.

Scrawled on the back of a filthy lorry... Enjoy Seven Up - Snow White Did! :lol: .

The biggest thing he's done in a month is to emphasis just how bad things were before he came. There have been so many improvements encompassing so many aspects of the club's footballing operation it is scarcely credible that he's been able to identify and improve them all in such a short time.

And our first team, and Dion, and Gillespie, and Stewart, and Dabizas, and our goalkeeper, and our tactics, and our substitutions, and our discipline, and our organisation, and the results at our own ground. It's like reading a sporting Book of Revalation. Discovering all the things we had at...

Taylor without a doubt. Right end of his career. Good dominant keeper.

I've thought him a better centre-back for ages and we get the benefit of his presence as an attacker at corners and set-pieces just as we did with Matt Elliott. Funnily enough I think Emile Heskey will make a better centre-back than striker as well. Good goalscorers are often instinctive...

How important is football? Well I reckon the heroes of Hinckley United earned more publicity for the town in this and their other recent FA Cup exploits than for any other reason in its history. Indeed I reckon the only thing to compare in the area was Richard 111 getting his heroic but...

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But there are certainly signs that we are turning the draw habit into a winning one. We are also giving ourselves the chance of a bit of luck, like the own goal today. Point is, if the ball is in their penalty area, instead of ours, then any mistake is...

The Walkin on Sunshine tune has got a good football beat for singalong... "We're Walkin on Sunshine" (Drum or clap) Bom, bom, bom bom bom,bom,bom,bom, bom,bom, bom, bom. "And Don't It feel Good..." Bom, Bom, bom, bom, bom, bo-bom, bom, bom,bom,bo-bom, bom, bom. "We score when...

We're Walkin on Sunshine... Seems like the Charity Shop that was Leicester City under Mickey Adams has been closed... Another clean sheet. A goalkeeper at his busiest for ages cos he had to make three saves... "Dead Loss" Dion challenging for man-of-the-match and looking like a man...

The man's a gem. He's like a nugget of gold from the mine on Ben Lui or the finest malt from the waters of Ben Nevis. A toast to ye. For Levein, for the heroes of the Black Watch and the wonderful memories of our recent holiday around Glencoe with Highland Heritage.

Was that system devised while fornicating with a Kalashvikov and a school ruler? And is that explain why we now have so many Kash Chooer's in society?. :lol:

My mum took that off me - thought it was a porn mag. :wink:

You don't get too many saintly teenagers and even fewer who are likely to make it as professional footballers. If he's got talent City are daft to waste it and if he happens to like a night or two out, thank God for that. He fit in well with one hell of a lot of the world's best players.

From what I've heard of Petrescu, City should turn up on the kids doorstep in Finland with a grovelling apology for wasting so much of his time and showing so little faith and should do whatever it takes to get him back. If it means bringing a teacher or two with him then that as well. If...

Creatively, City haven't been the best under Adams but Connolly has still had stacks of chances (how many times has he hit the woodwork?) but has singularly failed to hit the net - even from the penalty spot. I rather he roll em in, deflect em in, bundle em in (as Dickov did on so many...

Re: can we Point taken but I still think there will be personnel changes in or around January. We'll see, of course, but if I were Levein I'd be chomping at the bit to improve things. :lol: :lol:

You may be right which begs the question: why do Leicester feel the need to so protect their youngsters that they don't get any meaningful first team experience while teams I mentioned like Manchester United, Arsenal and Crewe cannot wait to pitch their players into the proper fray, albeit a bit...

With all the speculation about who Levein might bring in during January I'd like to ask a simple question and hope not to get a Blunkett answer ... what is City's Youth Academy for? I have always been under the impression that it is fueled by youngsters spotted by the club's scouting network...

Re: can we To my mind we've given away too many points from winning positions to realistically expect to win a top six place which is all we can sensibly hope for. However, we are not altogether without hope. Assuming Levein improves the team during the transfer window there is real...

Thoroughly interesting and comprehensive. It intrigues me that Dabizas rates less highly among the fans yet Heath - one of the few products of our youth system - appears out of favour despite his higher marks and his goalscoring contributions. Not that I am saying Levein is wrong. Lack of...

There you are, the appreciation of what you do is in your own paragraph..."there's been a lot of arguing". That's milk and honey to this forum. I read the ratings, find em thoroughly interesting and try to make a contribution. If we're all directed to use the same criteria we'll all be...

If you're not careful you'll be apeing Tony Blair and legislating for how many times a minute we breathe, what time of day we are allowed to enjoy conjugal rights, indeed, whether we're allowed anything at all without TB's permission or an identity card. Look at the national newspapers and...

He owes us millions of em. Almost a club's worth. And his whining afterwards made it worse. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't mention his name on our beloved City site. It's like smearing shit on the screen.

Levein saw the problems and made posive changes for the better over half-time. This seems to be one of his major strengths. He doesn't seem to change things without a purpose and when he does make alterations they do seem to have some positive consequence. One of Adams major faults was his...

Sad to say the boy needs replacing. Talent aplenty but little end product. I know they had to wait a bit for Scholesy to score but he's a midfielder and we don't have the luxury of a side so bristling with goals that we can carry a non-scoring striker. Fifteen goals a season is the minimum...

Heskey was the financial shining light but otherwise it's a pretty damning outcome conmsidering the number of youngsters "processed". Sounds like we need to borrow O'Grady's blueprint for youth development.

I'm with you on that (now there's a thought). Does she look naughty!!! :lol:

Does anything emphasise the value of a real commitment to Academy player development and a reducing of the team's average age than the posts listed above?. Of course the presence of a few old heads is important - providing they are "young" old heads with the enthusiasm of a Dennis Bergkamp...

It certainly wasn't a cock-up situation but their goal looked very close to an own goal cos the "scorer's" shot seemed to be heading for the post or just wide. Not that it matters. The whole footballing set-up seems much more focused, organised and professional. And, more of the players seem...

Re: Vote of thanks Idle hands :lol: :lol: :lol: You'll know what I mean when you're my age. :wink:

What a relief to have a manager and coaching staff who seem able to pinpoint problems and change the pattern of play for the better. I'd have loved to have heard the half-time team talk. The effect was instant. Not that Levein will be totally happy. I imagine he will be working on closing...
