Oadby Fox said:So, you cheeky canaries, you think you're going to have a good time in the Prem?
Enjoy your 15 minutes ...
Oadby Fox said:Excuse me, but where did I say I disliked Naarch and begrudged their (relative) success? Is explaining the facts of Premiership life in a jocular manner to be construed as an act of aggression? What sad times are these when wonton acts of ribaldry are seen as declarations of footie war!
As for Oadbians having a collective chip one could, I suppose, argue this (feebly) if comparing their truly wretched lot (eight en-suite bedroom rambling hovels in barely a couple of acres) to the good citizens of, say, South Kensington. However, if one accepts the findings of the Royal Mail's Mosiac Index it is difficult to see (within the context of Leicestershire at least) exactly who they might feel chipper about.

Oadby Fox said:(a) gentle ribbing should be seen for what it is
(b) Oadbians are too well off to have chips on their shoulders
