    Don't watch is the answer ...

    ... I bet teenagers absolutely love them.

    And they're great if you're bored on a train.

    Alese needs to do a lot of work on his heading. For a lad 6'3" he's 5'6" when he jumps

    They're harmless and great for passing a moment if you're not expecting professional standard photographic values and edited interviews.

    I remember, quite recently, when people complained that the club had disconnected from the fans and we were kept in the dark ...

    There was some mental stat that he'd only won 10% of his aerial duels or something.
    Can't remember the exact figure but it was really low

    I like the camaraderie Smug, having spent 32 years in a unified service I appreciate how little things like this are important to group moral. It also gives us fans the opportunity to see how the dynamics of the group are developing and who the characters are.

    I appreciate they are not for everyone but I like them.

    Great song by the way <ok>

    Fair point that, he is a bit slow.

    I think he might struggle in a two-man central defence, but in a back 3 he’s very solid. Probably why he impressed so much for Coventry.

    Fairly sure that Leicester play a central back 3 too.

    Suppose, if you want a Head Coach to teach someone how to be a CB, we have the right one.....

    He’s so comfortable on the ball mind. He’ll start a lot of attacks but I do keep remembering teams pressing at him and balls into the channel behind exposing his pace. Admittedly Johnson was anti defence.
    It initially looks like a couple of clubs are over paying for risky players. Not sure if that is a good thing for us or makes no odds.

    Me too mate, I feel sorry for those who don't get it tbh..

    I've always felt we have a responsibility to those around us ...

    ... the tiniest things can raise our spirits and we all have our part to play.

    I like the videos the club puts out, it's a bit of fun and a way to get to know the players a bit.

    Yeah it can be a little awkward with the shyer players and they'd probably prefer not to have to bother but they'll get used to it and it's good low key PR training for them.

    I was just reading about that.

    Exactly why the rumoured bids for Clarke are a complete joke, I say rumoured because only the clubs know actually what the offer is/was.

    After Henderson's charity work, etc, I'd lose a fair chunk of respect if he went there tbh.
