The Vultures Are Circling

Blimey! It's a bit of a war zone out there isn't it.

On the pitch they've been dropping like flies. According to one source there were 78 Premier League players out of action through injury as of last Friday. I don't know what that is as a percentage of the total but it sounds a lot to me.

And you are not safe off the pitch either it would seem. Even working at a football ground could render you vulnerable to ending up in a physical altercation.

There was the man who decided to do a bit of 'deer hunting' when his team failed to win a crucial game this weekend.

And according to The Telegraph, the vultures are circling at The Walkers hoping to feed off the rotting carcass of relegation.

The only way we can win the war is if Southampton lose their next two battles or we beat Stoke.

Please let it be OK.

I couldn't bear this.

Spooks And Spirits

Sorry for the absence. Still having problems with my Broadband.

I suspect Leeds United fans had a hand in making some of the equipment. Either that or there are spooks in it. Anyway, it is not working properly.

So The Foxes played The Potters yesterday. Score 1 - 1.

This is what Melton Fox, one of The Foxs fans had to say about our performance:

"Nothing to say, other than a nondescript performance from a nondescript bunch of players."

Interestingly, another fan, Dikin, talks about the notion of 'team'. He says that whilst there are some better players in the squad this year, he still doesn't see a 'team'.

I say interestingly because it is something I have been thinking about too.

Remember the replay match against F*****t? Well I think it is significant that The Foxes went on to win that game.

My theory is that it was team spirit that worked for them that night. They were joined in an act of sportsmanship and it led to a feeling of being part of something bigger. That 'spirit' was then captured in the way they played.

Well it's a theory anyway.

Meanwhile, I will be on the telephone first thing tomorrow to see if I can get a bit of 'team spirit' from BT.
