He's right, it was always Leicester, but maybe it depends on age. 80s games had far more edge. Villa was a 90s thing, simply because midlands teams were generally shite for that period. When Leicester started to make an appearance later that decade, were some great days. That FA Cup win at their...

Fair enough. It's is odd though, it's two one club cities separated by 17 miles of motorway, Lots of people living and working in the same areas. Never gave a toss about villa, they could win the league this season and I wouldn't care. Leicester could win a raffle and it would bother me. I'm...

How can you not see Leicester as any sort of rival? Not having a pop, but I find that really odd. I've been unable to sleep most of this week, and that's the case every time we've played them going back to the 80s. I'm aware some people will snigger at that, but don't care, this means the world...

Walked past the ground on way to pub half hour ago and massive queue. Some people love a bargain 😂

Tbf, back in the league 1 days in front of 12K, at 2-0 at 85 minutes then ground would have emptied. It happens, although given where we are there is probably more reason to stay right now. At Boro, their place started to empty after Simms scored. I remember away at Sunderland a couple of...

The leaving early thing is all a bit overblown. It bothers me more when we're one goal ahead and people leave, or people leave for the concourse after 35 minutes. I stayed to the end but I can walk home, if I was facing sitting in a car park for 30 minutes I might have been on my toes when the...

Leicester is the game I'm most confident about. Blues and Norwich (based on our awful record there and not much else) are both worrying. Tomorrow is also tough, we're playing on fumes as it is, another 2 games in 4 days is going to be tough. I feel we get past Sunday we regroup and go again. A...

Beaten by the better side. Take it on the chin and move on. Most disappointing thing for me was the failure to win a 50/50 or second ball all night. Thought we turn up tonight but we were so passive. Chance to put it to bed in a few days though. Win there and put it behind us.

If it's brand new cladding, I reckon it'll be dark grey, with some sky blue touches as an accent colour. Just guessing though. Should be a planning app soon i'd guess.

I think some of it is beyond repair, lots of panels seem to have water and heat damage, a few panels have already been replaced. Makes sense to replace it, a once in 20 year job rather than having to revisit it every couple of years. That said, this sort of wrap might work around sections that...

It would be better, just as it was the start of last season, the season before and especially the season before that when we started terribly. Simply don't understand how people who have been watching football for a long time don't understand the dynamic here, how success breeds expectations...

Yep, a lot of hand wringing when the reasons are obvious. People making comments about SC now being full of this, that and the other. It's been sold out every week in that part of the ground for 3 seasons, it's the same people. We've had regular sell outs or near sell outs for several seasons...

Exactly. All the hysteria seems to be coming from those somehow outraged that we're not always predicting a 4-0 win before every game 😂. Nothing wrong with a bit of caution, and that's all it is, and we've all been watching the game long enough to know how this league is far from predictable...

The thing that worries me about today is the expectation. Get a feeling it will be very flat in the ground, people will be waiting for something to happen and the pressure is all on us, so bit of a free hit for them. Ipswich on the other hand I think it is the opposite, crowd will be up and...

Yep. I know a load that can't make the game because of work, but clearly there is a lot of demand from those that are off, so if there has ever been a game to open ST resale asap, it's this one.

Easy to let frustration cloud judgement. It was one of those. Was bound to happen at some point, so take the point and move on. They celebrated like it was a win. We've been much the better side before the sending off and dominated after it. Final ball lacking and switched off for the goal. It...

Some clubs do seat maps for their away allocations so you can choose where you sit. Might help a bit. There is an issue with fans not sitting in their allocated seat, that's for certain. Saturday was different, I always head to my seat, always, but I couldn't even get to it, they blocked access...

Meh. Stoke get notoriously low gates for FA Cup games. We might take a few, but they'll have about 8K rattling around. All a bit of a non event. The only worrying thing is we might win. Should say, I never normally take that view and always want us to go as far as possible, but genuinely don't...

Yep, coach 3 not in Sudbury to take us to game and not there after. These things happen I guess. Bit annoying that I had stuff on the coach that I guess now lost. One of those I suppose, nobody's fault really, just a crap day.
