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...

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...

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...

Personally I have always taken great pride in the achievements of the Tigers (and the County Cricket Club when they win anything) so a link-up with the oval ball is not instantly loathesome. If this club is going to have ambition this seems a feasible way forward. We are certainly competing...

Having nothing better to do at the time, I penned a football poem which my son picked up and blandly said I should have published. That's really of no interest to me - it was just a fun jotting really - but I as a result of his comments |I ended up wondering if it might do a bit of good...

Who do the fans think is City's best central defence pairing? I ask because I'm still apprehensive whenever Dabizas plays. I always feel we'll concede a goal, always feel he'll have a sloppy moment or two and yet wonder if I'm being unfair. Yes, I know, Heathy makes his mistakes, but he...

When you look at Peter Reid don't you just give thanks that our board have seen the light...and its Roung One to "Harry" Levein. Coventry looked like they were on the downward ladder to the Underworld and Reidy looked like the Styx River ferryman. I've heard of disgruntled players leaving...

Thinking about City's best-ever player made me realise that despite all the ups and downs of seasons past, the mind tends to retain the most wonderful cameos. Like shooting at a teenaged Peter Shilton after midweek training with a lad called Tony Mathers who was later hurt in a car crash. The...

And one day it came to pass that a footballing warlord from the north said "I'm leavin' this wondrous land and heading south into England to make my name and fortune." And, far from the glamour of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, the place that welcomed this unknown...

After being so close to a brace at Crewe this might not be the right time to ask but is Connolly really a centre forward?. Talented, awkward, a handful even spectacular at times but Levein, to my mind, has a problem. Certainly the Scowcroft/Conolly combination looked better than anything else...

Before the dreaded deed is done how about the fans making it crystal clear who they don't want as City's manager. Guaranteed turn-offs for me would be: The Humber Blunder (just can't type his name), Gregory, McGhee, Lee, Hoddle, McAllister, Bryan Robson and Bassett. How do others feel?

Can anyone recall the average attendance during City's promotion-to-the-Premiership years? I seem to remember being squeezed in among 30,000 or so quite regularly - and a pretty noisy 30,000 at that cos many's the time my son and I went home hoarse. Now its more like a wake. It's so quiet...

Bit provocative this. But, after City's 20-25 minutes of serious work in trying to beat Preston and 70-odd minutes of dispiriting ineptitude what would the fans prefer...? For Keown to leave the Walkers?. For Adams to leave the Walkers? For Adams, Cork and Bassett to leave the Walkers...

Here's one that could hurt your brains... 1) How long is it (including last season) since Connolly actually scored (not counting friendlies)?. 2) Has any other recognised Leicester City centre forward took longer to score (a goal, that is!)? 3) Does anyone think Nathan Blake will ever...

What a pity City's manager and coaching staff don't have requalify every year in their chosen profession. You can just imagine the clipboard of an independent assessor giving marks out of 10 in the various categories... TEAM PERFORMANCE: Consistently below the standard expected or required...

Fans back Mickey! Its funny how you can make statistics say what you like.The latest poll shows that while 20 per cent think he should go 44 per cent of fans want MA to carry on...hence the conclusion that fans back Mickey. But what of the other 36 per cent. Were they deaf-mutes or were they...

So, the Leicester Mercury says that City fans expressing concern about City diabolical start to the season are talking "nonsense". Well, when you get free seats and guest status your not going to be biased are you. But when you cough up a days pay to see decent football and you care about...

I cannot believe the publicly voiced delight at getting a point against West Ham. After one game City are two points off the pace and suffering from the same complaint that got us relegated last year - failing to win home games. Of course the 10-men deserve great credit but a winning football...
