That's one of the things I love about it. In 2012 I went to see volleyball (alas, not beach), hockey and badminton. When am I ever going to go and see any of those live again? And it was super-fun.

Olympics :bow:

There are other categories to the Olympics than Athletics? Wow I had no idea

Yes thanks I'm well aware

So The Foxes have signed this Polish winger, movement on Mahrez to us now?

A forum like this can only thrive on conflict, not on consensus

It's becoming slightly stale because there really isn't anything new to discuss, this has been a poor transfer window but a) almost all out transfer windows are poor and b) most of us agree that new players wouldn't necessarily breach the gap anyway.

So really it's just a re-tread of the old arguments, but that's ok.

I compare it to PMQs, people complain because it's adversarial cage match nature that is off putting. I submit that it's off putting because people aren't that interested in politics. And people who are love the petty insult throwing and the farmyard braying.

They just think because everything has to be about bettering ourselves we have to pretend we don't like it

Well I didn't come here to better myself.

Just play it on Spotify

Anyway Kimigayo is better, it has this proud but dignified and melancholic call for an everlasting unalterable dictatorship

I really don't think so :(

Wenger and Gazidis both said one defender and one attacker. I'm assuming they are going for a striker as the attacker. I think Mahrez is a pipe dream.

Imagine if we signed Mustafi, Lacazette/Icardi and Mahrez :pray::pray:

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easier than imagining us signing Mustafi, Lacazette and Mahrez, if you try.

Excellent article on Lacazette:

Alexandre Lacazette has become a very good goal scoring striker who year after year has improved in noticeable ways, whether it be his general link up play or his ability to shoot from better areas. It’s also helped that this rise has coincided with Lyon’s improvement as a club offensively over the same duration span and a growing diversity in their attack. As the team has got better around him, it’s helped spur his evolution as a striker from a inefficient shot taker to a ruthless finisher.

I know twitter ITKs are full of shit, this guy said Vardy was more or less done before he turned us down, but he did get Holding right a month before.

Apparently Wenger is planning a 'madness' in the transfer window and Lacazette is our 'last resort' striker. Seems to be fairly well followed
