is it not 50 Baht to the pound? :-)

Yep around 50 Baht to the pound and 35 to the USD.

Watching the cricket and G&T's for me at the moment as I enjoy my retirement here in the LOS.

Their owners are a bit of an embarrassment to be fair.Did anyone see the way they hogged the title celebrations on the pitch? They took the trophy off the team and manager and hogged it,they couldn't get it back! There was an interview with one of them,I think on football focus when he said they told Vardy they would make him an England player if he signed for them.They did,they also got a lot of other journeymen players looking like the top player in their position.Funny that they are miracle workers,many other clubs had tried and failed.

exactly.
Anything can be brought these days it seems.
such a faiytale.wow.
Didnt see the football focus iv you refer to,but i wonder when they said that to jamie fox.. if they were talking about Nigel Pearson turning JF into an england player, or some other unknown(at that time) manager who would work miracles and turn an ageing work a day paul dickov into an 18 yr old michael owen..
Funny how the fortunate foxes billionaire owners were able to say so confidently;
1. we will make you an england player
2. we will win the premier league within 5 years.
I am confused as to exactly what the owners confidence was based upon.
i await the Fairytale Foxes Films release..

We can say other teams underperformed,which to an extent they did,but for any team to win the premier league by TEN points and to only lose THREE games is pretty remarkable. For Leicester to do so is almost unbelievable. I am amazed no questions are being asked but then again I guess such a fairytale sells the premier league product even more.

I think they had cracked a successful PED that couldn't be detected on tests at the moment. At first I thought the rumours were ludicrous but the more I thought about it seemed to fit together.

That would be every PED then, as footballers are pretty much never tested domestically. Very, very rare to get tested and even then it's easy enough to know when they are coming and to get clean for it. The drug testing in football is about on a level with the drug testing in baseball in the 90's.

There are some extremely interesting documentaries on You Tube about how Lance Armstrong and the US postal team got away with doping for years and years. And even then, they only got caught because someone grassed. Armstrong suddenly started to race up mountains without losing breath. Having previously been very ordinary on the climbs, he suddenly became the number one racer up the mountains every year. He'd be chatting away to people all the way up as well and applying his brakes, ffs.. Leicester seem to have benefited from similar reserves of stamina. Just saying.

Looks natural....

Looks natural....

there were several times last season,..against certain teams, i got the impression we were playing against superhuman/ robots.....that pic tells me so much.

When i played sunday morning football ,for 15 years, my levels of stamina were always better than most,i could run all day,i stood out.
when certain teams came to the etihad..and i include a certain hard running german team ,with a manager not to far away from us now, i was moved to think that we are either woe fully under trained at City..or.
..basically,stamina wise its very rare for a whole team to pick up speed AND stamina and move forward together, naturally...with leicster, even their subs/reserve team players called up to cover injuries were sprinting like their lives depended on it,players id never heard of before were sprinting down the wing, pushing the ball ahead of them and blitzing all before them..where had the fringe players been able to keep up that remarkable level of fitness? by plying in the reserves??? anyone know how leicester reserves got on last season? maybe the beetroot shoots and ice baths were only for the first teamers.

for those leicester fans who come on this board and take the piss( like your team did) just stop and ask yourselves, how long you ve been watching football, and or how long you have played the game( i still doa t the age of 48) and think when was the last time you saw a player like jamie fox go from 5 goals in 34 games to 5oo goals in 36????

i am getting angrier and angrier by the day.
and still no one can tell me who the fucking mystery owner of a substantial numb er of the tricky foxes shares are? i thought these things had to be transparent now adays..U KNOW LIKE THE DEAL BETWEEN BT SPORTS AND THE NOT FOR PROFIT BBC.
