Or Norwich away. Or the clear foul on Lallana at home against Liverpool. I think we've been pretty hard done by this season on the balance of decisions.

Does the article include the approximate address and occupation of various distant relatives of the "player"? Such a painstaking level of chronicalisation can only add to the reader's enjoyment and certainly won't bore anyone to tears.

Is anyone else watching Sevilla v Porto? Disgusting amounts of simulation going on and some truly pathetic refereeing. If the Premier League ever ends up like this I would struggle to take it seriously!

Think we'll win all five.

Lambert and Lallana weren't exactly busting a gut in the second half on Sat IMO.

He's evidently not good enough. Seems to be a mentality problem, rather than physical ability. He needs to drop down a few levels... Maybe one day he will have the right mentality for the major spotlight. It's crazy to blame him for the result though. If we must blame people then Fonte and Chambers contributed far bigger errors than Gazza in that match.

I spent around a month in Rwanda at the end of 2012. It's remarkable how stable, safe and increasingly developed the country is. I dealt with people who lived side by side with others who had been involved in the murder of their parents and siblings. It's really very difficult to comprehend something like that as an outsider. I had meetings with Hutus in government positions. No doubt some of them were perpetrators. Walking round the genocide museum in Kigali you find yourself constantly shaking your head and wondering "how could that happen"? For some strange reason it seems much harder to understand than a place like Auschwitz; maybe because of the relative lack of coverage and cinematisation. There is a room called the children's room where there are brief profiles of ten children murdered in the genocide. It lists things like their favourite toy, favourite food etc and has a big smiley picture of them. The final piece of text says, "cause of death"... "Hacked with machete", "pins pushed through eyes", "smashed against wall" etc. It's probably the saddest thing I've ever seen. The problem the west has with its interventions is insisting on some form of "democracy" (however much of a sham) following our interventions, as though that is a goal in itself, rather than a means of achieving a good society. Kagame is far from a democrat but he is exactly what that country needed and the progress they have made is remarkable. Democracy has a time and a place. Anyway, if you ever get the chance to go there, you should. I'm not sure why Tim is harping on about Kenya which is far more corrupt and violent than Rwanda.

Agree. Don't like Leicester as a club at all. ****ty place. Indeed. Even if you accept that Lowe needed to come in and slash costs, sacking a rising manager and replacing him with someone from the Dutch sixth division is a little maverick, to say the least. In hindsight though, thank goodness Lowe made those errors!

You can't blame him. He is clearly a desperately sad person who deserves no small amount of pity. Quite why the moderators don't deal with the two or three posters who ruin this place is beyond me.

I just don't understand how that offside can not be given. In real time with one view it was completely obvious. Back four in a flat line, linesman well positioned, Silva about five yards offside. It's unbelievable! The only explanation is that the linesman didn't realise Dzeko had flicked it on but Got should have seen something was clearly wrong and spoken with him. Pathetic. Shame Lallana couldn't control one of Lambert's passes in the first half.

I don't think Lukaku would particularly want to join us so it would be better to take a load of cash and find a great player who would like to join. Having said that, I don't think Shaw or Lallana will be sold.

Can't believe no one has spotted Marco Almeida yet!

I would start with Rickie on the bench. He was excellent against Newcastle but they gave him loads of space. I think he has more chance of making a big impact if we bring him on later in this one. Back five picks itself. Morgan and Cork are no brainers. In front of them I'd have Davis, Lallana and JWP with Jay Rod upfront. Lambert, Ramirez, Gallagher, Guly, Hooiveld, Reed and Gazza on the bench

Decent enough figures in my opinion. We came a long way quickly and needed to invest in a few quality players. The circa 20mill we need to pay next season should be largely if not completely offset by additional revenue. Wages are at a manageable level. Also encouraging to hear that further Liebherr funds have been coming in. Overall, I bet those figures are healthier than a lot of clubs.

In the meantime, let's bury the thread in one of the pointless sub- forums.

Three consecutive six-pointers for them at the end of April. They could easily go down.

No, I think there's something up with this place at the moment. I get redirected to Google Play Store and get a few other pop ups on my HTC.

I'd be more engaged by some sort of public spectacle designed to highlight and shame the ****s involved in this sort of ongoing (NOW) thing to be honest, http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5009105, rather than have some arbitrary enforced faux-solemnity. Footy crowds love a commemoration - witness the roaring finale.

Lol. ITK as always.

Shaw's a beast for an 18 year old. I'm not a bumder but if I was I would be drawn to our team. It's nice to have a good looking team.

Haha - yes!

Utterly risible response from Milliband so far.

I am flabbergasted. By any objective measure, Qatar is the obvious choice. Mr Warner also has an unimpeachable track-record. I hope FIFA rigorously pursues whoever is responsible for these terrible slurs. Some other scumbags were spreading vicious rumours about hundreds of deaths amongst the sla... workers involved in the construction projects recently too. Suggesting they are viewed as nothing but irrelevant foreign subordinates and treated appallingly. Nonsense! Long Live World Cup Qatar! Long Live FIFA!

Interestingly a transcript has recently been published of a case in the Bristol County Court where Parking Eye took someone to court. As far as I know it's very rare that these companies ever bother doing that but it seems as though this one does. Anyway, the judge rips them a new one and awards 45 quid to cover the defendant's husband taking a half day off work to babysit during the hearing plus mileage and parking costs for attending court to the defendant. The transcript is actually quite funny as the judge is a little whacky and clearly thinks the whole thing is a little contemptible. If anyone is interested in reading the transcript it's here: http://nebula.wsimg.com/53e672581a806f6f5ae78602683bcbcf?AccessKeyId=4CB8F2392A09CF228A46&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
