    Appears to have confused people by being versatile and playing as a winger and a left-back, so they don't know what to do with him.
    Got loaned out to Hoffenheim, where he put a decent run together, then got injured. Just worked his way back into the starting XI.
    Played 90 minutes on Monday night as a left wingback in their 0-0 draw with Leverkusen.

    I'd like to see him integrated into the squad next season, but it may depend on who the manager is.

    Lazy and arrogant.
    I hate these meaningless slogans.
    I think you’re meant to do a cocky walk and smirk enigmatically when saying them.
    At least this one’s grammatically correct though, which is more than be said for Domino’s Pizza’s: “We Got This”. Got what exactly? The clap? COVID? **** off :mad:

    I'm fine with aspirational stuff, even if it doesn't seem particularly applicable to the people using it, but that entitled **** can **** right off.
    It meant more to Real Madrid, apparently.

    Guardiola intends to bring more history to Man City. Someone's going to fork out another fortune!

    I know that (Mrs RCLs dad is a Leicester fan) but was answering the question about spending.

    I think it is a stain on Leicester that local butchers, St John's Ambulance service and local shops were all left out of pocket and they have never been fully paid back.
    Ditto with Southampton.

    It was a different era too. But still incredible.
    When they had success, they did spend money- Francis, for example, was a record signing.
    But the team Clough assembled to get promoted was a work of genius.
    Only Shilton really was a signing of any note or expense.
    Burns - failed centre forward turned into top centre half.
    Robertson - ordinary left winger turned into best in Europe.
    He took a ramshackle bunch and sprinkled them with stardust. That was proper management.
    My stepfather is from Nottingham and was a friend of Peter Taylor and had followed Forest around Europe during their glory days. We even had s holiday in his penthouse apartment in Majorca when I was a kid in the ‘80s!!
    So I know all about how good Clough was. What he did with Forest is mind boggling.

    I'll tell you one thing Dominos do have: thin base on medium pizzas, which Pizza Hut have stopped offering

    The fact my local Pizza Hut delivery is literally across the road from Dominos makes this decision utterly ****ing bonkers

    So there's one Spurs player who can say they're playing in the Europa League semis after defeating Dynamo Zagreb...

    That team was extraordinary. Taylor and Clough did incredible work at Derby...and then bettered it down the road. True genius.
