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.

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?

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.

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.

Didn’t we used to have a poster called ‘Jack Barak’, presumably named after one of the characters in the Shardlake books?

Tombland is the best of the Shardlake novels so far. Set in Norfolk during Kett’s rebellion. Well worth a read.

Only Max starting. Ben and Todd on bench.

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!

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.

Isn’t oxborough out on loan?

I think the 248 games covers both periods.

You might want to rephrase that Angry, or not.

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!

I meant Hodgkindon and Hopkinson.

Both played for England.

Alan Hodgkinson. I think Hopkinson played for Bolton.

It was Sandy Kennon’s debut In front of 38,000!

Dylan, you might be right but i’d forgotten that. We played Cardiff in the 4th round the following week and I was at that game so sounds about right.

From 1966 and we’re wearing shorts now! Tony Woolmer is included but look at the Leicester Reserve keeper!

Could be right Crabby.

Hi Hammer. From those names we must have been around at about the same time. I still have some of the old team sheets they used to sell for 1d! This is the oldest from 1959. Any of these names ring a bell? Obviously Phil Lythgoe and Jimmy Moran and I remember the goalkeeper Greatrex but can’t remember his first name. Love the way we played in ‘black knickers’ back then!

Hotly in stripes. Oh dear!

It''s been reported in a number of places that our players are amongst the lowest paid in the division in terms of basic pay. I suspect that this will be topped up with a big chunk of the money earned for finishing position meaning the players can be rewarded for performance but only from money earned for the club. This would tie in with the big bonuses paid last season for earning promotion. This would obviously mean that not all that money will be going into the transfer pot. Signings for next season from the lower divisions will become harder as more teams try to follow the ''Norwich model''. Nigel Adkins and Brian McDermott, if they make it, will probably look to do something similar and I bet alot of Prem chief executives are asking their managers why they can''t find players this way. It will be harder next season but we now have a good squad to build on so can concentrate on quality rather than quantity.

Ayala''s full league debut for Liverpool was at the age of 18 against - Stoke! Liverpool kept a clean sheet.

They don''t make them like Tommy any more!! 1. Two blondes walk into a building ....... you''d think at least one of them would have seen it. 2. Phone answering machine message - ''...If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key...'' 3. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts. The shrink says, ''Well, I can clearly see you''re nuts.'' 4. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn''t find any. 5. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn''t reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, ''No, the steaks are too high.'' 6. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in. 7 . A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, ''Doctor, doctor, I can''t feel my legs!'' The doctor replied, ''I know you can''t, I''ve cut your arms off''. 8. I went to a seafood disco last week and pulled a muscle. 9. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can''t have your kayak and heat it. 10. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself. 11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says ''I''ll give you some cream to put on it.'' 12. ''Doc I can''t stop singing ''The Green, Green Grass of Home''. ''That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.'' ''Is it common?'' ''It''s not unusual.'' 13. A man takes his Rottweiller to the vet. ''My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?'' ''Well,'' said the vet, ''let''s have a look at him''. So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth. Finally, he says, ''I''m going to have to put him down.'' ''What? Because he''s cross-eyed?'' ''No, because he''s really heavy''. 14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. 15. So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me ''Can you give me a lift?'' I said ''Sure, you look great, the world''s your oyster, go for it..'' 16. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It''s either my mum or my Dad, or my older brother Colin, or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it''s Colin. 17. Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other ''Your round.'' The other one says ''So are you, you fat bastard!'' 18. Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off. 19. ''You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen. It said, ''Parking Fine.'' So that was nice.'' 20. A man walked into the doctors, he said, ''I''ve hurt my arm in several places''. The doctor said, ''Well don''t go there anymore! 21. Ireland ''s worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 2826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.
