Nothing like a bit of intermittent internet problems to start off ones day, eh? It’s amazing how reliant we are on these little black/white boxes that pump invisible connectivity to all parts of our houses and when that goes temporarily we feel lost and bereft.

Morning folks and happy match day. Well, it will be if we beat Leicester City tonight. If Jamie Vardy does what he always seems to do when we play them however, then it could be a very ‘unhappy’ match day. I have the nerves about this one tonight. Leicester maybe missing a few of their [...]

Morning folks and happy Saturday to you and yours. We've got a little bit of waiting to be done until we play again on Sunday night in a ridiculous pay-per-view game against Leicester but with both teams playing on Thursday evening this was always going to be a Sunday game and so it means Saturday's [...]

Morning all and welcome to another matchday, at the beginning of what is a very tough month's worth of fixtures, starting with Leicester City away in the Carabao Cup this evening.

Another matchday is here and it’s ‘Part II’ of our Death Run as we come up against Leicester City at The Emirates this evening. This game is an intriguing one - and just as terrifying as the Wolves one - because of the way in which Leicester battered us on their turf earlier in the [...]
