As always with Pearson presiding over games at the KC, most, if not all, of the excitement will come prior to kick off when he walks out. After that, it'll be painstakingly, tear-inducingly, ball-achingly, dull dross for 90 minutes

Genuine question East-Stand - What is more important to you personally - The performance or the result? Of course we'd all like both but you'd have to support Man U for that. Would you sacrifice performance to go top?
Sure, without question. But it's not like we've won every game is it? If the result is a loss, I'd rather it be entertaining than boring.
Yeah without doubt. After the West Ham game I had to go out for a meal with the missus and in-laws for her birthday. We'd battered West Ham and lost 2-0, they support United who had played ****e and won 1-0. No prizes for guessing who contributed the least to conversation over that meal.
Playing **** and winning is fine, sometimes it's even better because of that ultimately rubbing-it-in feeling "we were awful and still beat you". Playing great and winning is super. Playing **** and losing is about as bad as it gets.
as No.1 suggests, i am indeed just anti-drum. Next you ll be playing music after goals are scored. Can you imagine any respectable football club having do that? I prefer football
Would it soften the blow if we produced scantily clad cheerleaders to dance in accompaniment to the music?
yeah that certainly is the kind of thing these money laundering, tax dodging plastic premiership wannabees are doing these days to try and drum up an atmosphere arent they? At least our two clubs could never be accused of that kind of passionless behaviour could they?
- I'll go get my pom pom
yeah football needs more pom poms, music after goals and drums i reckon. Maybe even more over-paid average talented foreign mercenaries to put our up-and-coming kids out of work. It ll all end in tears!

Statistically it would have to be greater than one (the same way as the stat that on average a human has less than 2 legs)
Pearson didn't get a decent reception from me when he was our manager.
He certainly won't get one as Leicester's manager.

Lets turn this round a bit.
In 10 games time when all the razzle dazzle exhuberence of getting your former "Hero" back, who, incidentally received a right good slating when he left for playing boring, mundane defensive football, do you think your fans will be happy that the attacking football you played under SGE has all disappeared and you back to where you were before, Steve Howard up front having the ball hoofed up to him from the half way line with the main hope being to pick up the second ball?
Fact of the matter is that the style of play is determined to a large extent by the players in the squad. Pearson has signed some really good players for us and he has signed some gash ones. But the really good ones are down to our connection with Manchester United, which looks certain to continue now.

I have a basic grasp of Spanish and I just about get by in Cantonese.

The Cantonese impresses me - I think we can all order a beer in Spanish - I can converse verbally in German but not write it (conveniently)
