Agreed on Wygston House, they do great burgers too. No idea if they have a LCFC match day policy. |

We were right on the edge of the amber weather warning in Leicester and got a centimetre or two and then it all rained away in the morning from steady drizzle. Much ado about nothing for us. |

There's plenty of free street parking around but you have to be about 20 minute plus walk away to be outside of the permit zones that surround the stadium.
Look up Morris Road (industrial estate, everything will be shut on a Saturday, no-one does football car parking because they're too small so you can park on the street instead), Sheridan Street, Shakespeare Street.
Failing that, Rowley Fields incorporating Evesham Road, Heyworth Road, Collingham Road, Dumbleton Avenue, Somerville Road, Barbara Road, Sybill Road.
For paid parking, there is the Putney Road Industrial Estate that Homebase is on (don't think you can park in that car park itself but plenty of the businesses on the estate open up car parks for a fee) or Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium (council car park, someone would be on the gate taking cash I think from memory).
Not really a pub person though and no idea which ones are home fans only so I'm not much help there! [Post edited 5 Jan 18:12]

In fairness I think its busier when we lose as people need somewhere to vent. When you win we've all got little dopamine hits going on already so perhaps aren't so desperate to come on a forum and go "yaaaaaaaaaaay!" or something. |

I took the signing of Edwards to be an indicator the club expect Cook and/or Morrison to be out for most of the rest of the season.
Jimmy said in a recent interview how much he loves it at QPR/West London so I hope we can get him to stay long term. Having good players serve us for a good 7/8/9/10 years is something we've not had for a long time now. Players generally seem to be around for 3 years at most before they leave. Its only the buggers who we don't want who seem to hang around for years! |

Walsh will play the Leicester cup game unless he gets injured beforehand, can't see him going out. If we get to April and are safe I expect he'd get more minutes then too. |

Another team who spent a lot of the game throwing strops. Its nice seeing opposition teams have meltdowns at LR. |

Bit of a funny game in some respects, I thought we were excellent and there were some superb individual performances but I also thought Watford probably won the physical battle in the middle of the park.
But...defensively they were atrocious whilst we were really dogged and that I think is what made the difference today.
Really pleased Smyth got his assist so soon after losing the ball for their goal. He had his shirt over his head after that one and looked gutted, but to be fair we didn't close the #8 down (who I thought was really good for them) enough who then played the ball through to Baah.
Very happy Hoop! |

Pete Doherty was at the Preston game, first time I've seen him in person at the Bush. He was with his wife and (I assume is his) child. He's had a lot of demons in life and paid the price but I hope he has a clean and easier life from here. |

I say this with no practical knowledge whatsoever so someone who does have knowledge is free to tear me apart and correct me, but one thing I have read before is modern day players are so lean that the lack of body fat makes them pick up more injuries, that previously the extra few percent of fat would protect more.
I mean...looking at the likes of Stan/Gerry in their heyday - visibly of course they are not fat and look lean, but internally they are quite possibly carrying a few more percent of body fat than their modern day counterparts that just protects things a little bit.
As said, its something I've read, I know nothing in practicality, could be garbage! |

I'll preface this by saying I am a huge Marti fan, but if we're losing players to regular overuse/overtraining injuries then the Head Coach has to take some level of responsibility for that too - after all they are the ones taking training between games and no doubt still working players hard and still have input into the way players physically prepare for games - can't pin it all on the medical people and say "not my fault mate, its that bloke in Dubai not being here."
It obviously isn't the same level, but as a runner in a year I can have spells where I have races on back to back weekends or something like 3 races in 4 weeks - on those occasions you alter your planned training between races to allow the body time to recover after one race to get ready for the next - not carry on business as usual because you will pay the price and pick up injuries.
As said - huge Marti fan - but he has as much input into players physical preparation as Head Coach as anyone does. |

I suspect he is nailed on to start the cup game at Leicester, as will a few other players coming back into the team who will need minutes. |

I think Saito just struggled against a very physical and quite quick full back today. He's still an excellent little player, him and Dembele still excite me but its their first season at this level so it will have high points and not so high points. I'd love us to sign him permanently. |

It was obvious straight away Cook was in a lot of pain.
That said, I think if it had occurred in a community amateur game I'd be pretty pissed at poor sportsmanship. This is the professional elite game though where its dog eat dog and win or go home so... I get it.
Sam Field wasn't very happy about it though. |

Got my tickets this morning.
I would caution anyone planning to do the Euston -> Nuneaton -> Leicester route that the train from Nuneaton to Leicester will likely be a Cross Country service from Birmingham, likely to be 2 coaches, and will be absolutely rammed.
Not that EMR is much better mind... |

There's no Junction 3 on the M1. It is placed where London Gateway services are and was originally due to be an exit junction for a new town that was never built, hence why the current service station entrance/exit is so unnecessarily convoluted. |
