Lineker would have buried that.

Just knock it about at the back for the next 77 minutes lads.

Well he definitely won't miss twice.

Peak Russball to begin with.

"The report" - like anything Rupert Lowe has cobbled together is worth a second glance. Utterly thick cunt.

Adam Blackmore was on BBC East Midlands Today earlier singing Russell's praises for sceptical Leicester fans.

I don’t think anyone at all is saying anything different to that.

This was my main memory of Russell - that Hillsborough opening day performance was really quite something. I drove home from that really quite excited (and, ultimately he delivered a successful season). His main attribute is team building and spirit/mental toughness. If he can get the Leicester squad on side then they should be fine for promotion.

He 100% has never played in the Premier League in any meaningful way.

Triggering it would have then got us into a longer contract negotiation (as it would have done if he had one year left in normal circumstances). All said and done i very much doubt we wanted to give him three or four years. It's not quite so easy as we trigger it and job done all over. It would have driven other things.

Possibly true - not looked into it enough but I guess there may be some team that scrapes 2 draws and still gets into the last 32. Depends how the groups go i guess.

Well they will shit the bed vs Morocco and the lose to Brazil and then on the plane home. This is their world cup final.

Very much doubt he has walked out on us for a two year contract in League One.

Always always always has been a benefit. The contributions do not drive your payment, it's just a qualification to receive the benefit. It has never been a savings scheme.
