The gentleman on the second page, did he get that jacket from topman? It looks very similar to mine.

I dunno, I'm not a fashion guru.....:icon_roll

Just looked at the picture again and realised its the aforementioned Teeno. The jacket is exactly the same as mine, the lad has taste obviously.

And more money in his pocket than he had prior to his crazy bet!!

I think I would scream just a little bit if he scored....almost as much as I would if Oakley scored(think I'm safe there tbh!)

are we talking about football here BF?

 

[beaumontfox]

Of course!:icon_roll:icon_razz

I'm always very happy when Leicester score, just would be a bit more overexcited if it were him!

Well thats that one cleared up then.

Still cannot get over the uglyness of the 4th official.

I do go the football FOR the football you know........it's just nice I get other reasons when there for smiling!:icon_razz

Just hope we aren't all getting a bit too excited about beating a very poor side in our division. I know some have said Doncaster weren't much better, but they were IMO and we had a very good day today and took our chances. Lets not think Gally is a world beater because of one hat-rick. I think we still need to source and out and out scorer to replace Fryatt in the interim. If Gally and Waghorn do get the goals from now on to show we wont miss Matty, then fine, I'll hold my hands up. I just doubt that will happen

 

[beaumontfox]

We can only beat what's put in front of us, and come on.......it's not like we score five(or even three or four!) goals every week. Let's just enjoy the result for what it is. Fantastic!:icon_bigg

Five or six Stellas, darkened room, sap rising.............

You know you would.

Absolutely!! I just still have my doubts about where our goals will come from from here on in. I hope the answer is Gally, Waggers and Dany, but I feel this may have been a one off. I hope I am very wrong though!!

And ****ing crap opponents

they were awful

Solano looked a class act and he very rarely gave the ball away

he only touched it half a dozen times! also worst free kick ever...


5 really flattered us.

great result, poor display

Whats everyone on about, Doncaster were awesome on Tuesday ?

Tactically their manager must have been very pleased, hoof it everytime with 11 men behind the ball, they got exactally what they set out to get.

1 point.

We drew that 2nd half 1-1. Against Scunthorpe. Not acceptable. Pearson out!

this very post was featured on Radio Leicester sometime after the game which I heard while driving back from the match. It didn't seem that they took it in the sarcastic manner it was most likely intended to be taken in though...

I'm amazed that someone (for example Siouxsie) hasn't already mentioned it. :icon_wink

They have Jeff. Post #14. Do try to keep up.

I don't get people slagging off our display, personally I tjought the first half display was one of the best displays I think I've ever seen from a City side. It was like watching Arsenal at times the way we played it about especially leading up to our 2nd and 4th goals.

They can't have been too bad yesterday either:

Doncaster 1 - 0 Nottm Forest

Met a Grimsby fan on the train on the way home last night. He asked me seven times how we got on. I first thought his Alzheimers was even more advanced than mine, until he reminded of the local rivalry and that he could never be told too often of Scunthorpe having five put past them.

He also let me in on news of a new signing at Grimsby - some bloke called Tommy Wright; apparently he used to play for Leicester. Thought I'd just let you know, although I am surprised that we hadn't already heard.

Of course there is still a question mark over our strikers. One game, against poor opposition, cannot answer all the doubts but, this is apparently the first time in ten years that we have scored five goals (a BBC Final Score statistic that I have not checked): therefore, the first five goal haul at the Walkers. I am sure that we have played poor teams in that spell and, with our first choice strikers.

We would all rather have Matty Fryatt available for the remainder of the season but, in his absence, what do you suggest that we should do: support the strikers we have, possibly help them to grow, so that next season we have more than one player capable of scoring twenty goals in this league or, bring in a loanee who might manage a dozen goals this season but will tell our current strikers that they have no future?

Whether Gallagher replaces Rooney as the country's best forward or becomes the next Akinbiyi, he has earned the right to a run in the team as the main striker.
