Moment of 2010

He really shouldn't describe himself as old though. He isn't THAT ancient.....

Still young enough top laugh at things like that without following through.

 

[beaumontfox]

Only just though!

Wonder if it was the same old bloke who beat up Gaz

I feckin hope so

Either the brief moment during my wedding when I believed the Ipswich game had been abandoned at three nil or the slightly incredulous disappointed look on my wife's face as I presented her with a Leicester shirt as a wedding gift

To be fair, she's done nothing to deserve it.

I will pick four moments off the pitch - two that made me angry which is unusual for me and two which made me feel things would come good for Leicester City.

The most powerful thing for me was the way we let Nigel Pearson go. I could accept that we lost to Cardiff because that was two good teams and one had to lose.
It was the realisation that Nigel Pearson was being let go not for good footballing reasons but to appease some Walkers Stadium executive.
On the other hand I was pleased when (no doubt) the same executive wanted The Birch out and Milan overruled him.

The second angry moment was an interview Sousa gave after a game. He had already lost credibility by interviews that showed he had no conception of what was wrong. He then gave an interview in which he blamed a defeat on the opposition turning the match into a battle and that we were no good at that kind of match.

The third and fourth were positive moments that came on the same match against Scunthorpe. Third was seeing Sven in the directors box and realising then that his appointment was not just a pipedream.

The fourth was watching Chris Powell and Mike Stowell on the touchline. When Waghorn scored the first goal someone near me shouted "You see Powelly thats what happens when you play Waghorn in the right position." Powell looked at us gave a wonderfujl grin and put his thumbs up.


On the pitch the Cardiff playoff on our ground when we played badly and Yann's penalty was a bad moment.

I have enjoyed King's goals. I enjoyed Spearing's performances at the end of the season. I particularly enjoy watching Dyer and I am beginning to very much enjoy watching Vassell.

Otherw*s* I enjoyed going to my usual seat for the new season and finding the usual grand characters still there. I do not know them outside football but their comments on football are shrewd and often very funny and I enjoy their company at the matches. . I understand that other people do have such good company in their seats and realise I am very lucky in the people I sit with.

That the thing with moments. You don't get any at all for over three hours and then a whole encyclopaedia full of them comes along.

What's your moment of 2010 supporting City?

Despite a ok twelve months, it's ultimately been one of the disappointment.

However, going 3-2 up at Cardiff was sheer footballing cum-in-your pantsness.

Shame it's been downhill since.

C'mon folk what are your highlights?

It has to be the Cardiff game. Never felt so many different emotion types within such a short space of time. From being 2-0 down on aggregate and looking out of it to being 3-2 up, only to end up equal, and followed up by THAT penalty.

I remember after that match just being stood there with you and Jacob in complete silence hands on heads for ten minutes straight seeing their wanker fans on the pitch singing and taunting. And the drive home was abysmal!

I also have to mention Sven-Goran Eriksson's appointment and the influx of players who only weeks before we could have dreamed of signing (Vassell, Davies) - nice way to end the year after a few months of shiteness!

Gwilliam - brevity is everything.

A brief question - why is it everything?

I do not believe in superficial answers to interesting questions.

People are perfectly free to ignore long posts but I want to understand peoples opinions.
If someone tells me that in their opinion the best moment of the season was the signing of Vassell I find their opinion meaningless unless they can give a reason.

You are a physicist. If you ask me a question on Physics I could only give you a brief answer and that might be totally wrong or more likely cribbed from Wikipedia like one well known poster. With a longer answer you can tell whether my opinion on physics is worth listening to - it is not.

My longest recent answer came in the Respect thread when a poster showed what I thought (rightly or wrongly) was a rather dubious grasp of 15th century History. I can assure you that no serious historical question can be answered briefly.

I believe in the Socratic method - however deeply you go there is still another layer to be discovered. One of your fellow physicists Richard Feynman described it as like the peeling of an onion.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm........ onions

 

[DesertFox]

Personal moment was Andy King's second goal at home against Cardiff under Sousa, mainly because it's the only game I managed to attend in 2010.

 

[pork pie fox]

Given that it was the first match I'd taken my daughter to, I'd go for the amazing 15 minutes (or whatever it was) when we scored 3 goals against Forest at home. A good game for us both to able to look back on as her first when we're older .

Made all the sweeter too by the fact that it at least gave me some comeback to all the abuse I took from my Forest supporting mates after the beating we took at their place earlier in the season.

I think you'll find 'Donkey' came to the same conclusion in Shrek 1.

Put's all the psycho-babble into perspective really :icon_bigg

I didn't realise that Mawsley was a psychic. It explains a lot, to be fair

No. I'm a sidekick.

A brief question - why is it everything?

Because a wall of text on the internet goes unread by all but the most bored/unemployed of readers - and is thereby a waste of ideas.
