The Summer of Allen sounds extremely portentous.

There's no chance he's not motivated. I get frustrated by the accusations of lack of application or that he's uninterested. His style is languid and he's (despite his size) a stealth striker, not a blood and thunder one, but he's clearly committed to the cause.

That's Wright, though; he's frequently unplayable or looks like he's never played before. There's not a huge amount of middle ground, either. Tbh, I expect him to be the same in the Premier League; I don't expect him to be out of his depth, but he'll have his poor spells. The difference is...

I think that was the joke. It wasn't a very funny advert, was it, really. This is how to do a funny advert:

Give me strength.

It's funny how things turn out, isn't it. Back then, I wasn't sure we wouldn't exist at all by this point.

"People at work always want to talk about football and have a little dig about leicester being rubbish and I dont even engage in conversation about foorball anymore. " People at work are just mean, Jayfox26, don't you listen to them.

I like the one called 'Brum stop dogs'. I realise this response is no longer topical.

We've pretty much gone up, but I'm still annoyed.

I don't think he's once claimed they are.

Pretty much anyone, really.

It was still crap.

Middlesbrough have absolutely shat it, haven't they. Really bizarre how comprehensively they've done that.

MvE played well. Dasilva was decent. Grimes was trying to move us upfield. Centre-backs untested. That was it. Everybody else poor.

They were so monotonous. Lads, mix it up a bit.

That's a sensible post up until that final sentence. He has significant limitations which means he'll never thrive above this level, but he's a good Championship striker, as his goal record attests. His main failing is his lack of anticipation; that cost us today.

I mean, at the stage of his career that he's at now, you kind of have to accept that the bloke can't read the line for toffee.

Is the latter not symptomatic of the former?
