Or push them both into a press. You smother the midfield and stop early transition to Vardy.

Interestingly and depressingly reading a Leicester forum, they said Vardy shouldn't start as he's an old man now and can't be run into the ground. An old man. He's 34. I'm 34 *looks into the distance, tears in eyes*.

I wasn't married, and had no kids at 34.

I was 43 on 11th February, and I reckon I could do Vardy in a vodka & Skittles contest.

I dunno, according to my soon to be 11 year old lad, who looks at this kind of nonsense on the internet, Vardy is still partial to red bull and fags. I can picture a pre pandemic Vardy, smoking a tab outside his local spoons.

Ha, fair play. 😊👏

Very true, and I'm lucky not to be under lockdown. Here's to the vaccines working and getting back there.

looking forward to watching this one on the box. Leicester a great side to watch for a neutral .  Sitting on the fence and think it will be a score draw

I was genuinely depressed on my 38th birthday (last year) when I finally accepted that my chance to play for Villa had finally passed me by. I mean, the total lack of pace, coordination, or indeed any foorballing ability whatsoever was hard to take .... but the realisation that I now definitely didn't have the stamina either, which was my one remaining hope, absolutely killed me.

At 49 I'm more than old enough to be a grandfather to some of our younger players.

A 49 year old grandad to...an 18 year old? Sorry, I'm not having it. Face it Drumm. You are young.

 With 300 posts on here you can't be neutral.
Anyway, I've looked at your fixtures and we won't be neutral for your penultimate game of the season.
