Tomorrow I look forward to seeing Alan Smith who is a player I have long admired

Why? He's a thug.

This is the argument my brother one said to me. If he went to see an orchestra and they played badly he would not pay money to see them again.

I have rarely been to a Leicester match I have not enjoyed on some level - obviously wins far more than defeats. However, from the journey to the ground, the first glimpse of the pitch, to the greetings from the people who sit around me, to the post horn gallop I am thoroughly enjoying it.

There is also the sheer enjoyment of bias. Most of life is not good and bad but complex shades of grey. At the match I do not have to see both points of view and reach a fair and balanced judgement. If I cheer Steve Howard I do not need to worry about the feelings of the Newcastle centre backs. Tomorrow my support will be for Leicester City totally and blindly. If Leicester win through sheer luck or a bad refereeing decision great

Although I am biased I do enjoy seeing some of the opposing players. Tomorrow I look forward to seeing Alan Smith who is a player I have long admired - though I hope he ends up on the losing side.

Then there is the fascinating ebb and flow of the game and the excitemt - in most games the outcome is uncertain until late in the match. Often the outcome is not certain until the final whistle. I usually have a good idea how a movie or play will work out - The Titanic will sink, James Bond will survive and Hamlet will die. I have absolutely no idea what will be the outcome of the Leicester-Newcastle game,

It's just so much of a pity that so many people no longer enjoy the game in this way. They are the losers - but in the end, we all lose because of it.

It was David's that was the excellent post. I was just agreeing with it.

Excellent post DG.

We risked over 2 mill on DJ, that was less than 10 years ago

Without wishing to belabour the point, from what I recall it was 1.5m for Campbell, possibly rising to 2m for goals/appearances which is clearly not going to happen. It's bleeding obvious that Moses will go for considerably more than 1.5m, in fact for a fee that is way out of our reach. Which was my point.

Newcastle have offered 1.5 mill :icon_cool
