Thought I would try another. Once again I ask people to avoid using google, its just a bit of fun and a chance to test your knowledge. Its hard to get the right balance, but hopefully whilst some may find a few quite easy, there might be a few to challenge the mind. 1 Who is the only Leicester...

How many can you get without the help of google 1 In what year was 3pts for a win introduced to English football 2 In Leicester's title winning season 2015-16 which Premier League player scored 5 goals in a single game 3 Who were the last English winners of the European Cup Winners Cup 4...

Since the crushing disappointment of the Watford play-off, what for you is the most significant thing thats happened, thats helped turn this season into one of the most memorable for a long time ? Was it the pain of that defeat in which this group of players were determined to not let happen...

Took a little peep at a Brummie forum before Tuesdays game, and there was a general sense of loathing towards us. Apparently we are extremely arrogant, and think we are a much bigger club than what we are. Much the same on a couple of Bournemouth websites as well. Is that just the envy of other...

A question for all the alkies on here. How long can you keep a bottle of unopened Mulled wine ?

Well not quite, but 15 games completed and 5th place with 26pts. 4pts off top spot, and 3 off the other automatic place. A bit topsy turvy so far. As per usual the bookies pre season odds raised expectation levels amongst the fans and anything less than a good start was going to see NP under...

John Terry has finished his England career before the F.A hearing about his race row with Anton Ferdinand. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19695430

Nice to hear a bit of positive news for the poor fellow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19101746

Played his last game at the Crucible tonight. Oh how at times i detested that smug look when he was beating all before him. I always wanted Jimmy White to win a world championship, and if it wasnt for SH he would surely have succeeded. Much respect to you though Stevo, arguably the greatest...

Would be appreciated if the mods could leave this in 'General Chat' rather than the outpost of 'Other Sports' as its a topical debate which imo goes beyond just a straight forward sporting decision. Simply,who should be given the 'honour' of one of the most iconic moments in history ?

A few months ago i asked the forum for any advice regarding doing some self employed work, after having my hours cut at work. Yesterday i was dealt another blow when the company announced it will end our FINAL SALARY PENSION SCHEME in 2013. They are offering us another pension scheme, which...

Can someone recommend a place for a nice steak thats not in the City. A nice country pub would be great, but i'd welcome other suggestions so long as its not in the town centre. Will need some ideas fairly quickly on this one. Thanks. If any mods want to merge this into Lazzers thread, can...

Through circumstances at work i will be basically going part time in a few weeks. Whilst this is not a complete disaster, i will be substantially down on my usual salary. Oddly enough I may well be able to bridge the gap by doing extra hours at work, but that is not a given. Alternatively there...

Near Bournemouth apparently. No details yet about the pilot or any casulties. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14602900

I have just been to National and had two new tyres fitted. One of those replaced was the off-side front (puncture). The inner track of the tyre was nearly bald, as was was the front near-side tyre. Apparently the tracking was miles out, probaly thanks to those wonderful pot-holes that have...

Ever wondered what some of our ex players are doing? http://www.where-are-they-now.co.uk/leicester-city/

Anyone on here ever had an m.o.t done by Dave? Well you wont be doing so any more, because he is no longer of this earth. I have been going to him for years, and i'm genuingly shocked by this news.

Probaly like many people on here i have family descendents that have served in the Great War (WW1) This weekend i'm hoping to visit the National Archives at Kew in London, to try and find information about my dads uncle. We thought he died at the Somme in 1916, but have since found that he made...

My old little Corsa is on its last legs, and will soon be going to meet the great crusher in the sky. So i'll be looking to purchase another car in the next few weeks. My Corsa was bought from Marshalls ( vauxhall dealer) and i was generally pleased with them. A few small niggles in the early...

Rio donkey Ferdinand makes his usual catasthrophic mistake, resulting in a penalty for Ukraine. Robert Green sent off because of the said donkeys mistake. Calamity James on for Lennon. Ukraine miss the penalty. How much longer will Capello stand by with this useless liability.:102: I can...

Just purchased a train ticket for a visit to the old smoke. I could easily drive down, but then you cant really have a beer or two.:icon_bigg

I've been today and it was most enjoyable. Well worth a look if you can make it tomorrow. Had to queue for about 20-30 mins to get in, and that was about 11 this morning. Apparently those that arrived later had to queue for longer than that. Plenty of stalls and things of interest, as well as a...

The former City hero Will put his boots on for blue square south Weymouth against Bromley. Now aged 43, and will play for nothing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8237112.stm

Its the preliminary rd today. I'm going to follow the road to wembley starting with the splendid name of Bowers & Pitsea who play at Windsor and Eton

Radio 5 reports horrendous crowd trouble between West Ham and Millwall. People have said that its as bad as anything seen in the 70's. Hundreds of seats in the Millwall end have not been taken up. The tube station seems to be the focus of some of the worst trouble.

Still lurking in 2nd place, what a bloody drama queen:icon_roll. Come on get on with it, and take your bow:icon_wink There must be hundreds on here waiting to slag you off..........er i mean congratulate you on achieving your lifetime ambition of no 1 poster:icon_wink

Good start by Man City today, and will be interesting to see how they go in the coming weeks. Great result for Wigan at Villa. Fans were booing Martin and his team, and with losing Barry and Laursen it could be damaging for them. Arse are currently winning 5-0 at Goodison !!! Defeats for Hull...

Thought i'd start the thread early seeing that England have some major problems to sort out after the 4th test disaster. The England selectors hopes of sending players back to their counties to try and regain some form, seems to have failed. Bopara who appears to be the most obvious fall guy...

What is this guys problem:102: Is he racist against the English:102: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8125216.stm Never mentions the fact that a team like Madrid are given huge back-handers from state funding. Not a problem that they spend nearly £150M on 2 players. When...

Great train robber Ronnie Biggs was rushed to hospital for a suspected broken hip. On Friday there is a chance he will be released on parole. His health is considered to be very poor after various medical problems. Is it now a waste time locking up this old lag ? Or should he serve as long as...

England 153 for 7 Yet again a frustrating effort by Englands batsman. Another poor start (4 for 1 after 2 overs). Good innings by KP, but the rest seem clueless on how to put momentum into the innings. Whats the point in sending Mascharenas up the order if he is only going to nudge...

Much better by England this time. Pakistan could go out on run rate if they dont beat the Netherlands by quite a margin.

Sounds like a Maggie Thatcher style assassination is gathering momentum in the corridors of Westminster. Whatever your allegiance or even if you have no interest, you cant deny these are extraordinary days.

No more room for error imo, its a must win game.

Great to have the meaningful local derbies back, and many more fixtures to catch the eye. That said where do we go from here though ? The goalkeeping situation needs sorting, obviously needing 6 goalkeepers in one season its amazing that defensively we have done so well. The defence lools o.k...

Just looking at a few different threads and nearly everyone contained either an aggressive, argumentive, or nasty post from BG.:icon_bigg As he not been fed for a while:102:

Now that we are in spring i'd be interested to hear of places you visit for a day trip. Useful things like the location and route,Admission fees, visiting times, or just details of the day trip would be helpful. Also would the trip be family friendly, or would it bore the pants of your little...

Surely a very significant afternoon for us in our return to the championship. A little more work to do, but we can almost fall over the line from this position. Anyway this is the thread to take us all the way through to promotion and the title. Whilst obviously with teams taking points off...

For the first time in my working life i face the prospect of having to work on Sundays on a regular basis. My glorious leaders have decided to bully us with emotional blackmail regarding the credit crunch. Besides the proposal of Sunday working they have also announced an whole host of other...

I need to confirm who Leicesters opponents were, and who scored the winning goal in Leicesters 1982 f.a.cup 4th rd fixture . I think i know but am looking for someone to verify it.:)
