  1. Unreal. What a football team

  2. There are very few circumstances where I think a manager has a legitimate reason to turn down Arsenal to stay at Leicester. This current however is one of them. If Rodgers goes to Arsenal and fails, he could be done at any decent sized club in this country. His reputation post Liverpool was hardly the greatest (we got some stick ourselves for appointing him) so to go to Arsenal and not deliver, which you've got to say is very possible given what a rebuild they need, it would be a big risk. You've got a lot to lose leaving Leicester. What we are not is a massive club or a massive name. But when you weigh up what you do actually get at Leicester - it's a really good job. You get an excellent owner that will back you, you've got a fanbase that, while there aren't no expectations, they pale into insignificance compared to somewhere like Arsenal. You've got a very good squad already in place, loads of really good young players tied down for years - something that gives Leicester a lot of security going forwards as we've now got the power to get big money for them. This is a club going in the right direction for sure. It's a really nice set of circumstances for any manager, and I think Rodgers knows that. Rodgers doesn't have to chuck everything away here for a rebuild needing Arsenal. What does he realistically expect to do there in the next 2/3 years that he's not going to do here this year? We've got every chance of making the top 4 this year. What are Arsenal going to do that's better than that? Does he think he could win them a title, or a European trophy? If this was Man City or Liverpool, I'd totally get it. Arsenal? I think you're on a hiding to nothing. Rodgers has got 20+ years left in management if he wants it. If he gets Leicester into the top 4, he could have a far better offer than Arsenal come in for him. There's a reason Arsenal ended up with Emery. If Arsenal got their act together, put in a proper recruitment structure and invested in quality young players, I think the appeal becomes instantly significant. For now though? Poisoned chalice. He'd be making a mistake going there.

  5. I'd love to do your post justice and maybe I will later in the week but I'm so fatigued by the whole thing that I genuinely don't have the energy any more to offer much more than moaning, but I suppose I can take something from the fact that I'm able to recognise that. I'll sum up my feelings - above all else, Brexit, austerity, even Johnson himself, it's this disinformation culture becoming normalised that terrifies me having seen what's happened in the US in recent years, and I don't think it's much of a stretch to point to the Conservative/Johnson/Brexit axis as the one that's most likely to employ these tactics which is why I'm desperate not to see them in power. I mean, it's not ambiguous that Vote Leave broke the law or that Johnson has a terrible track record for lying through his teeth even for a modern politician. The Tories threatening to look into C4's licence for what I think were cheeky but not disgraceful actions is the latest example of this and it just seems to be another thing every day. Meanwhile, the BBC, having initially refused to let Johnson go on the Andrew Marr show until he agreed to be interviewed by Andrew Neil as well, have bottled it within 24 hours, apparently because "it's important for the country to hear from the PM after yesterday's terror attack". Utterly pathetic.

  6. I dont think its necessarily about the money (although that's nice ), I just think if a player or manager had a choice to join either Manchester United or Arsenal over Leicester.. they'd probably choose the former two. Look, Arsenal and Utd have been totally mis-managed over the last few years but let's not kid ourselves here. If either get a proper manager in like Klopp or Pep etc, then they will be massive forces again. I take the piss about Utd mate because I took it for over 20 years from you shower of shits, now it's my turn. But I'm in no doubt whatsoever that the potential of your club is still one of the biggest in world football.

  8. Next suggested video was this, with Nina Hagen. She's a bit of a loony, but that's a cool version of the song.

  10. Wow, I've never heard that version before. Brilliant stuff. Till Lindemann covering David Bowie... not what I would have expected, but nice.

  12. If you think VAR in this country was only thought about and implemented 6 months ago then I dont know what else to say? It's been researched for years mate and still royally fucked it up. Perfectly good goals being ruled out for offside, failing to overturn blatant mistakes made by on field referees, taking an age to make sure perfectly good goals are legitimate... the list goes on. It's a joke. Surely you dont think VAR has improved football as a spectacle?
