Well they won't take long.

The package of highlights were ok but our Foden experiment fell a bit flat I thought ...

You're not going to threaten the defence if you concentrate on passing around the back four.
City seem to have adopted the practice so we get higher possession statistics but it's boring to watch. Meanwhile the forwards are making runs but they stand a cat in hell's chance of the ball being put through to them.
And what happened to one touch football?

Too many second balls to give away ... ?

Apparently Grealish was subbed because he was running with the ball too much ????
He was the only player trying to make something happen in my opinion.
I lost interest half way through the second half and flipped over.

The Grealish substitution was totally baffling. He was the only one threatening to do anything. No wonder he looked totally peed off.

Bruce has managed an early retirement ... good luck to the next poor soul.

£8 million pay off.
Ex Gills apprentice Steve has done well for himself.
I remember him making his debut for Gills.
He came down with another lad who was rejected for being too small.
That lad was Peter Beardsley

I think I could manage very nicely on that.

It will be quite a bit less after tax, and agents fees.

No problem. There'll still be plenty left for a bag of chips and a pint of best ale.

Great match by the Foxes in Moscow. We went 2-0 down shortly before half time but pulled one back before the whistle. Then our new young striker, Patson Daka, added three more before they scored another towards the end. Our defence is appalling at the moment but thankfully we are scoring at the other end, now eight in two matches.
Good reports coming back from City supporters of the Moscow fans. They had been mingling on the train and sharing their brandy!! That's how football support should be.

Worth transferring Daka into my dream team ?
I suspect that Vardy will remain first choice ?

Vardy is playing well at the moment and is scoring. Daka is one for the future when Vardy slows down but it ain't happening yet? Handy substitute to bring on after 60 minutes.

If Daka fancies a regular start with a championship side, maybe you could put in a good word with Brendan for a 6 month loan from January.

Bit of a goal fest there mob. Remember what he did at the Foxes!!! Surely not again. Well played!!!

2-0 up at 86 minutes and managed to nick a point,
Grrrrr !!!!

I's a right sickener to lose a 2 goal lead, more so when it slips in the last five minutes or you go on to lose altogether. It's similar to a last minute injury time winner.
On the flip side of the coin it's great when it's to your advantage.
One man's dream is another man's nightmare!!!
We are entertained by Brentford today. I do like Brentford and what they have achieved but obviously I will be hoping for a win for the Foxes.

Easier to deal with perhaps than shipping 5 goals one week and then scoring 5 the next ... at least we can all score goals unlike poor old Norwich at this moment in time

That was absolutely disgusting from Utd,Liverpool didn’t have to play well,they will never score easier goals, Ole must, must go,he is not good enough for a club the size of Utd,he cannot get the best out of a talented squad.

Looking at the amount of money he has spent on transfers and salaries you would expect much better from this team. There's no excuse for that performance even allowing for Liverpool who are on good form at the moment.

Not sure that even Pep G could forge a winning team with that defense, Maguire and Lindelof are far too slow, Luke Shaw couldn't read a bus destination from 2 yards, never mind a wingers pass, and Wan Bissaka had one good season, and that was with Crystal Palace.
