This is the same Steve Cooper who couldn't get Forest out of the bottom six, despite a budget of squillions (more than he'd have with us). And the same Cooper whose side used to regularly get battered on the road - including against us when we'd made the worst start in Premier League history. Aiyawatt and Rudkin aren't the sharpest tools in the drawer, but even they would steer clear of a choice like that. Wouldn't they?

Fuchs vs Palace.

It isn't. La Liga is already ahead and after tomorrow, both Serie A and the Bundesliga are likely to overtake it.

Two teams, of course, with squeaky-clean histories, whose progress has been achieved entirely on merit..

The seagulls had better watch themselves on the Rome metro. Pickpockets and muggers lurk there! Rome wasn't really all that - horrible city, horrible fans (who set my coat on fire! 😯) and a horrible game. Enjoyed other trips that season on the European tour (Warsaw, Rennes and Naples included) far more. Hope Brighton fans all make it back safely, and don't get ripped off at the airport like some City fans did!

Buying Chris Sutton for £5m in 2000 instead of Ade Aknbiyi..

A Seagrave phenomenon, as anyone who's seen KDH take corners this season will know.

The same mayor who also welcomed Vichai and Top to their first City league game - and was personally thanked by Vichai in Bruges six years later? He still lives rent-free in some folk's heads after 13 years..

Except it doesn't. Pearson hasn't exactly set the Championship alight in the last two seasons at Bristol City.

Ndidi was pretty decent when Shakespeare was here before, though played more games due to Rudkin messing up the Adrien Silva deal. Saturday's team should tell us who's putting the work in at Seagrave. Defeat is virtually guaranteed, but at least we can put up a little more fight than we've seen in the last few games.

You remember wrongly. MON quit Norwich on the day they played us at Filbert Street. The board at City were about to appoint Mike Walker, but the chairman at the time (Martin George) managed to persuade them to change their mind. It's all in his book, which came out last year.

Like we're not already?

We played at Goodison the week after the last election. Some "Foxes" thought it a spiffing wheeze to chant the name of the prime minister in a city where he is (rightly) reviled for his comments on Hillsborough and a whole lot of other stuff besides. Scousers clearly haven't forgotten or forgiven. But they must have heard the "Feed The Scousers" chant a thousand times before. Judging by their level of outrage on social media, it'd be easy to conclude that ours was the first and only fanbase to sing it.

Many folk who've had Covid will tell you it takes months before making a full recovery. Iheanacho should have been nowhere near the field last night. His mind was probably on AFCON anyway. Also note how many on here and elsewhere have taken the easy option of blaming Freebie (the latest one) and Panicbuy. Both of them have had Covid too, though neither of them were exactly tearing the league apart beforehand. But, Bertrand's woeful spotkick aside, neither played a leading role in our eventual capitulation. As soon as Albrighton came on for Ricardo I feared the worst, even at 3-1. Marc is a Foxes legend and rightly so, but he cannot defend to save his life. Horror shows at Atletico, Palace and Newport (among others) spring to mind. Last night was another one to add to the portfolio. He gave the ball away to set Jota up, then went AWOL on Miramino at the death. But, WTF? We'd only have been smashed at the Emirates anyway. The only comfort left this season is the chance to mount a proper defence of our FA Cup. Defeat by Watford would push Rodgers past the point of no return.

Because it's been so effective on the road this season, and in previous campaigns..
