Islam Slimani - Returned to Leicester
LionOfGosforth replied to Figures 1-0 Football's topic in Football
Saw her in Eldon Square in 1987, her PA got a shoe bounced off her head when the speaker blew. More exciting than any transfer window. Nicky Brown ('s a wally) introducing her? I was there. Threw a cheese sarnie at her and missed by a whisker. Yeah all I remember is, she was lush, sang maybe 2 songs, then a speaker blew, she nicked off and some old woman came out to explain the concert was over and got a shoe beamed off her forehead. Fucking hilarious. Had to bunk off school to go, place was jammed, kids pogoing all over the shop (and apparently falling through windows) to her songs. -

Jammy bugger, she was lush back then. Had a thing for Tiffany but Belinda was something else I've a juicy Belle Stars (City Hall) anecdote as well, but I'll save it for next June/July when we're flapping about lack of transfer activity. Sign of the times, i'll be all ears "Stop Now" ing song -

5 wins and 10 draws It feels like they've won once and drawn three times. Yup that was the point, they may have won 5 but it feels like a couple with a few draws. They're still only one win out of the bottom 3, twats will scrape out of it somehow.

Boggles the mind how these hopeless f***ers have 25 points, seems almost impossible, seems like they've won like 4 games

Sturridge winner for WBA (while Pards grins sickeningly from the touchline) when we play them at St James in April nailed on.

On the flip-side, looked very one-footed to me. I know a lot of wingers are like that but it's something that was very evident, don't think he touched the ball with his right foot even once. Saw plenty of skill and positive intent though, hopeful he'll be decent at the least.

He could only make that definitive of a statement if he had no intention of ever selling in the first place. So why the 3 month charade? He couldn't give a f*** what we all think and feel so why pretend you want to sell when you know there's nobody will pay the sum it would take? What was to be gained? Surely not just to mask lack of investment in January? Even by the fat c***s standards, this is incredible. -
Wes Hoolahan, isn’t he the one who scored against Villa and refused to celebrate because there were rumours they might be interested in him? Heard of not celebrating against your old club but that’s about as squirm-inducing and cunty as anything ever

"Set to miss out..." I wonder how many times we've seen/heard that phrase regarding transfers under Ashley. Must be about 200 c***ing times. The issue isn't missing out on this guy's likely modest talent, it's that we can't seem to sign anyone at all, not even another club's development player on loan. Bet he ends up at one of our relegation rivals. Man alive, we're being run like fucking Rochdale

give me the gist of it cuz my pal thinks it's great and I want to argue with him a little more eruditely than I currently do.

One of the most depressingly rubbish transfer sagas ever. Beats the Brett Emerton and Dirk Kuyt ones by millions of miles. All this time and faffing around to sign this guy on a fucking loan, f*** me.

There was one miss in particular vs Nottingham Forest that I honestly couldn't believe he missed. Kitson probably wasn't that bad a player, but among that lot he stood out like a sore thumb as nowhere near good enough. We'd probably kill for a striker like him now. True true. Saying that though, he suffered from the same mysterious problem as a lot of other crap strikers we have had in recent times, of not being able to strike a ball with any conviction. Remember so many times watching weak as p*ss efforts, slowly rolling to the keeper. You are right though, he probably wasn't as bad as that, but nowhere near Cole or Beardsley. I quite liked Kitson, looked good at Leicester and Derby and I was pleased when he signed. I do recall he made super intelligent runs in behind defenders but his all round game wasn't much cop. He missed from about 1 yard out against Arsenal (think it was the game when Beardsley won it with a last minute screamer from distance), trundling a sad shot straight at Seaman I remember and a bloke behind me screamed "Hoo Kitson, I coulda put that in with me knob!!!" He was a decent player and I was quite excited when we bought him as he was highly rated, but he wasn't suited to KK's team or way of playing at all. No but the potential was there. I recall he faffed around before signing, initially turning us down over wages iirc. Mirror headline after he left without signing "IT'S PAUL TWITSON" Didn't work out, but surrounded by Beardsley et al, he could have improved in time. Think his debut was home to Sheff Wed and he took the ball flush in the mush and had to be substituted. Thought he was a fanny for that like.

One of the worst passes i've ever seen

Only 1 goal conceded in the past 3 games as well. Probably has a lot to do with Lascelles returning but I think it's safe to say the bloke has a clue like
