This weekend has more or less reduced it to six teams. If Leeds lose tomorrow, we can at least be thankful not much more damage done
in comparison with the rest of the bottom six.

Perhaps you should hope it's cancelled. Or you break your leg during the week or summat.On Sunday, I'm running the London Marathon for the 2nd time.
The only time I've run a marathon before was 2016 - the year we won the Prem!
I really don't want this one to be in the year we get relegated...
They're the key words. What used to work will never work again.
Vardy has lost his mobility with chronic hip and groin issues that will never heal. It not only prevents him from properly sprinting but also he's obviously playing within himself because he knows he cannot put any stress on his body any more.
You cannot make his body do what it used to be able to. It happens to every single player and he's gone on for longer than most.
The only reason remaining to have him in the squad is for reputational value late on coming off the bench. He may still cause some defenders concern because they will be thinking about the Vardy in the past.
Well if Burnley can do it then we should be able to, I guess.Get ya money on us for the title next year!....
I know what you mean. My hope is we can survive. Reality is playing a different tune.Well if Burnley can do it then we should be able to, I guess.
I wish I had Sky's giant tablet to put it in slow mo and circle Vardy's movement off the ball to show you. But I don't. And it's not the only example, just one that really stood out to me as a really obvious example where he's not doing what he used to do.
You don't need to illustrate it. I've seen it over and over for the last year. Sadly, he can't do it any more.
It's not a lack of confidence. It's not the manager or formation or style of play or bad luck . . .
He's just had his time.
But what a time it was.He's just had his time.
And no one denies that.But what a time it was.
I don't see it as sad so much, just in the natural order of things... so, yes, thinking about it, I guess sad in that sense; the passage of time.It’s sad to see after all he has given to and for this club.
But his inclusion is now actively hurting our chances of winning football matches.
Nacho on the pitch increases the chance of positive random events.I don't see it as sad so much, just in the natural order of things... so, yes, thinking about it, I guess sad in that sense; the passage of time.
But 100% agree on the 2nd point. We have limited striker options as it is and Vardy is no sure fire answer. Now I'm not a huge fan of Nacho, and have been openly critical of his clown side, but he does have this knack of finding the net, against all my expectations. Which, after all, is what you want from a striker - even one that plays like he's wearing a Ronald McDonald costume sometimes.

He is like a status change card in a trading card game like Magic:The Gathering
