  1. Need to remember that Craig Shakespeare was Nigel Pearson's assistant at Leicester in 2014-15. 'The season saw Leicester finish 14th in the Premier League, securing another top flight season. Despite the club being marooned at the bottom of the table for four-and-a-half months between late November and mid-April, the Foxes managed to put together a run of seven wins from their last nine fixtures to survive comfortably.' He's been in our position before and survived The Tempest. Maybe not such a bad appointment.
  2. Everton have two fast wingers that like to cross the ball and a centre forward who’s good in the air. What could possibly go wrong?
  3. August 1957 v Palace. Won 3-2 with 2 goals from Johnny Gavin. I was 9. I’d been before that but that’s the first game I remember.
  4. We need to open up a Warnock team do suspect Sorenson will start at left back, Skipp and Vrancic in midfield with Dowell at no. 10. Can’t see Giannoulis going straight in after less than a week.
  5. Didn’t we used to have a poster called ‘Jack Barak’, presumably named after one of the characters in the Shardlake books?
  6. Tombland is the best of the Shardlake novels so far. Set in Norfolk during Kett’s rebellion. Well worth a read.
  7. Hanley was marking the zone the ball was dropped into but was blocked off by Fabinho leaving VVD with an easy chance. Who’d have thought the European Champions would have come up with something like that!
  8. August 1957 and I was 9, City 3 Palace 2. Half time 0-0 then City in front, Palace scored twice to take the lead then 2 more for City to win the game! Johnny Gavin scored two of the City goals. Last season of the old 3rd division south. The year before we finished bottom and had to be re-elected (a formality back then). Blanket collections at half time to save the club. Pretty sure it was Barry Butler’s debut and might have been Archie Macauley’s first game in charge (where’s Ricardo when you need him?). I think it cost 9 old pence for kids and 2 bob for adults.
  9. The report says the stadium was valued at £41m in the accounts meaning a profit on the sale of £39m. This suggests that without the sale they would make a loss of £24.4m. This added to the previous losses totals £47m over 3 years, £8m above the allowed £39m. Creative accounting in action!
