  1. Typical badger. Set(t) in his ways. 🙂
  2. Since badgers have been in what would become England for more than 50 000 years, you can't be English as your roots aren't Celtic or Anglo Saxon. 🙂
  3. Watching the 2 min highlights on Sky:- The first 2 goals were directly from every opponent knowing the gaps Martin wants left at full backs. Both direct balls into those areas. On both occasions, the reacting defender has then been beaten, leading to the goal. Martin will blame the defender for not being strong enough in the challenge, smart enough to push him wide and for the others not to race back quickly enough to help cover. Both are known risks from RussBall. The third was a bit of a deflection. I only saw one of Leicester's "big misses" in there. Like with a lot of Martin's shots at goal, his reset strategy on every move allows for plenty of defenders to be around the efforts.
  4. Lots of possession. More shots, and they've missed 3 big chances. Flashscore says they had a xG of 2.43 to Posh's 1.52 You can see they are working so hard, and are so close to it all clicking. Just the scoring and the conceding things to sort out. Then you'll see them race up that table. Will's nearly there. Just have to hold on through this spell.
  5. If only they had got Baz and Will in early. A sweeper/keeper capable of helping out the defensive passing, and an all rounder capable of making all those Russ transitions work. Leicester got the right man, but have yet to give him the right players on the park. Hopefully Alex picked up some things from Baz, and Will isn't far away. Shame to see such a coach under pressure considering. But, after such a slide, they must give Russ the time. The players have to learn, or they are out. Russ will reshape that club, removing that scar tissue and make up them a real non league contender.
  6. Can you get a release clause that kicks in, if the manager goes? Even if that's before you kick a ball for that club.
  7. But Smallbone will help turn it round! Madness to change course now. 🙂
  8. But how many shots have Leicester had? 🙂
  9. Haaland was indeed eligible to play for England, having been born there. He spent some of his early childhood in England too, I believe. The only person with a fixation in making people be a certain thing, even though you can't give a coherent definition, is yourself. Haaland had the option of picking Norway based on the rest of his upbringing. It was your own definition that said the English are native to England. This example shows things are a bit more fluid in the real world. Also by your definition, Haaland couldn't really be English unless he could trace family back to before the Norman conquest. No one is English, unless they can do that. You should be updating the FA on that.
  10. I refuse to accept any opinion that's not backed up with a meme. 🙂 Will it look as good on a lamppost, to cry into and to be as shaggable?
