He's a goalscorer, he may not be mobile or nimble, but I think he's a great 18 yard box player who always knows where he is compared to the goal. His goalscoring record over his career demonstrates that.
He showed glimpses of it last season, even though he clearly was mega unfit and not match ready.
He must have a fairly decent starts/goals ratio this year. I think its fitness and injuries that's perhaps his biggest issue. |

Palermo play in pink and that looks sexy as fk.
The gold strip this year is crap though. |

At an old job a work colleague went to the nearby burger van one day to buy his lunch and as he was waiting for his bacon & egg bap to cook the lady on the van asked him if he wanted sauce.
After he hesitated she jumped in telling him "don't worry love, it all ends up as a turd in the end anyway".
Deep wisdom. |

I have long maintained that the building of a jumbotron TV screen on top of the School End without the entire stand falling down on top of itself is one of the engineering marvels of our lifetime. It should have TV programmes made about it. |

Maybe the case is Barbet wanted to stay here, but when we decided to part terms he didn't really want to play elsewhere in England and then looked to going home.
Who knows! Poor bugger's in Saudi Arabia now since Bordeaux went bust. |

We had the heating element go on our oven a couple of years ago - the top oven and grill worked fine but we couldnt use both at the same time.
I'm not capable of fixing it - we thought about whether to replace it (we'd had it a good 7 or 8 years at least) but decided to pay fixed fee of £149 to repair it. The wife was here, the guy took about 20 minutes I think to do it so probably a great profit margin for them, but we decided at the time that the cost of that, whilst probably a bit uneconimical, was better for us to have it immediately up and running again rather than go through the faff of shopping for a new one, waiting for delivery, dealing with the install etc... |

He might have been ropey overall, bit we do have the goalline tech installed and the ref looked at his wrist and only gave it after he saw it do whatever it does to say it's a goal.
Nardi let himself get caught in no-mans land for it, he started coming for the cross then stopped, then was neither close to the ball nor the line. |

To be fair Adel at 35 is very different from Adel at 21. Part of me would just for the nostalgia element but I suspect there's absolutely zero way it would happen.
It would be nice to see him back at Loftus Road for Forever R's one day though, he has previously said he would come back. |

Reply | Dry socket
at 16:43 22 Jan 2025
Yes, I had to have mine out just over a year ago and also got dry socket after it, the pain was awful but subsided eventually. I think I was on the antibiotics for a week afterward then the pain did start to subside. Lots of soup for lunches!
My issue was my two lower wisdom teeth grow sideways and the one on my right hand jaw had basically drilled through the molar. I've had my left hand lower wisdom tooth removed now to stop the same happening the other side. The pain from the wisdom tooth was worse and lasted longer! |

There's so many you could go for here - but looking at the Warnock era I wonder how we'd have been in the title winning season with Darren Ambrose instead of Shaun Derry as I think we were originally meant to be.
Then the following year how we may have been better if Jon Walters had come to us instead of going to Stoke. |

Well we tried to win at Leicester last week, got beat 6-2, and you spent the entire following week throwing an enormous strop about it.

Principles are all well and good when you're winning, but I'd rather win first and get principles later.
Sport, after all, is fundamentally about winning. |

All three require enormous amounts of mental strength and ability as well as game ability.
I'd actually go for Golf, simply because I think financially that is much harder to get to the top level at than the other sports are.
I mean...I know very little about all three, but if you were to ask me which one costs the most money to get to the top (and is therefore going to be the biggest blocker for any budding star) I'd say golf. |

Is it me or are Nourry's comments in this one coming across a bit pointy?
Great news though, I really like him and he's getting better, his composed finish against Leicester was excellent. |

There were some really good podcast series done on BBC Sounds last year around the 40th anniversary of the miners strikes, one series done by BBC Leicester about the "Dirty Thirty" who were the only ones to go on strike in the county and the effect it still has four decades on.
Well worth digging out to listen, there was lots I learned on the social history that I never really knew. |

It might be the trauma of the last few seasons speaking but I still see us as perfectly capable of going on a 6 match losing streak and hurtling back toward that bottom three.
Far more than I do going on a 6 match winning run and flying up toward the top six anyway! |
