I think we may have. At the age some of the players are, they need rest between games are hard sessions. Not another hard session cos they aren’t deemed fit enough. Two games a week should be enough for hard training. In between should be rest and training formations and tactics.
I believe it was Bill Paisley who used to say something to the effect ' We don't leave our energy/strength on the training pitch'

If he’s any good he will be at Essex before we know it. Cricket has gone just like football. I just want a trophy, be it DCFC or DCC, before I die - not too much to ask is it!? Sadly it’s never seemed so far away 😢
Do wooden spoons count?

Glamorgan 3rd with 1 win. Unbelievable.

Amir signed as an overseas player for the first half of next season. Wonder if they are hoping he will have his citizenship for the second half? No idea how that all works to be honest.
This is the guy who bowled a couple of deliberate no-balls in a test at Lords. I was actually there when it happened, although we had no idea at the time. You can't see no-balls from the stands, at ground leven,behind the wicket! My mate pointed out that the score had gone up by one so we assumed there'd been a no-ball, never realising the eventual implications.
Seems a changed character but it was reported at the time that he was from a poor famliy in some village and the few thousand quid he was offered was life-changing. Who are we to judge.
Good luck to him, hope he socks it to 'em.

Many years ago, I managed to go round for free. My stepson (avid Leicester CIty fan) was in his teens, doing a school project on whether a stadium should be enlarged (they were at Filbert St then), or a new stadium built. I contacted the club who kindly invited us to a free tour, just the 2 of us. A very interesting tour, I have to say. A bit of banter, naturally, and it seems LCFC had been visiting it for ages getting ideas for their impending new stadium. (I wonder how their expansion plans are going)
Not only that, they arranged for us to go round the Baseball ground, which appeared to be watched over by just a scots guy. By the time we got there it was dusk. A very surreal experience, you yould almost feel the ghosts of the past were there.

He's very old, even by my standards!
I expect he's a volunteer and this role is very important to his wellbeing. Funnily enough, that's exactly what I am doing - being extra nice and asking how he is etc... 🙂
Perhaps you should change tack and be objectionable with him. Ask, no, demand why it's necessary to show your season tickets every time you arrive. Perhaps suggest he goes to SpecSavers, that sort of thing.

With Stuart Atwell in charge of the Everton match, almost a certainty.
Like 10 minutes added time

4-0. Interesting

You can do anything with statistics. If you're completely deluded you can fantasise like this lune on the Leicester City forum.

Just had a skim through the thread. I'm off to slash my wrists now. Cheerio.

When I went to register my daughter's birth (1980's) it was near closing time at the registry office (in Leicester, sadly) and the registrar was in 'de-mob' mode and quite chatty. He told me one about a guy who came in and wanted his son to be named after the entire Leicester City team (surnames only).
He told him to f*** and come back the next day when he'd sobered up.
That's obsession, the prat.
