Leicester v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[eye digress]

If Rogers can improve his final ball / shooting / decision making it looks very good

Bit harsh - he's put two (or three?) on a plate for Ollie so far.

Re "our man in Japan"...that unlocked a memory of an outspoken H&V poster from yesteryear called "martin" (I *think*) who was based in Tokyo. Is that who we're on about?

Axl Rose, still around.

Good bloke, doesn’t post much because of the playground stuff.

We did have a poster in Japan named Martin years ago.

Brilliant poster, too. Spotters badge for Eamonn as it must be 25 years since I last saw Martin regularly posting on here.

Yes, I’m pretty sure I liked him and he wrote occasionally for H&V. My first article was either me disagreeing with something he wrote, or he disagreed with what I wrote previously. Either way we still got on regardless.

Would have been about 30 years ago now. Crikey!

Leicester tried to bully us into defeat yesterday. Young Steptoe had two laughable attempts to con the ref into giving a pen. Their manager and their fans howled at the ref the whole time over every little decision. They are a horrible niggly little club epitomised by the hobgoblin who wears the number 9 shirt. The ref stood up to it. Our players stood up to it. Our fans were superb. A valuable 3 points won at a ground where many will struggle. Move on.

Once Kamara is back there's going to be some selection dilemma's for UE

Good thats what we need

[Luffbralion]

I was astonished to learn we had previously only won 7 out of 28 Premier League games against the Foxes.  I've had the misfortune to witness some of the disappointments and, living in the East Midlands, suffer some of the consequences.
Therefore, I was delighted to be at this one (thanks again, Risso) and to witness a pretty comfortable away win (not as comfortable as it might have been).
I really like the Onana/Tielemans combination in midfield.
I prefer Super John McGinn on the right (especially since he had to protect our debutant)
I  thought Bogarde, despite some errors, showed some class and promise
Think Unai is easing Maatsen in (just as he did last year with Youri).
Barclay and Duran are going to be very important squad members

Lastly, since I can rarely get away tickets nowadays, it was great to be reminded just how loud and proud are away support is.  Utv.

I've always rated Tielemans, I remember when we came up and he just bossed us all over the park thinking "What's gone wrong in the world when a lovely player like this is playing for these two-bob clowns and we've got Marvellous, God bless him, huffing around?"

A few seasons ago I was saying how I’d love us to sign Tielemans and my parter laughed his head off and said we had no chance.

I've just remembered, I've met him. A Christmas game at Villa Park (1997?) post match in some dodgy pub around the back streets behind Trinity Road. He was crouched down on the floor in a corner referencing Michael Stripe. Lovely fella and very funny.

[Hookeysmith]

I had hoped that the ineffective Rogers was taken off at 80 and little Emi got a run.

Although we all agree a scrappy win I watched that game again and apart from a small touch by Faas head Durans goal was the finish to an 18 pass move, most of which was one touch.

We are a proper good team and will only get better

SUE...love him

[Risso]

This name Nazism is 'a bit weird'. I would appreciate it if the Sixth Formers got back to trying to point out typos that have already been noted and edited.

Not really, it depends on why he changed it which we do not know. It is obviously a family name which seems to point to him removing one member of his family from his life a couple of years ago, at about an age when he could legally do it. This article seems to mention he only lived with his mother (no father mentioned) so as his dad left his live when he was younger, he probably removed that part of his name to ensure there is no trace of him now. But no article I've found has stated why the name change which again I believe means he wants it to be personal.

Or he could have removed it for the same reason Andy Cole decided he wanted to be know as Andrew Cole later on in his career. Obviously he now just has Jaden on his shirt although still listed as J Philogene anywhere else.

So I will go with respecting his choice, you go with being full Trumpy or VillaTim.

As you say, it's also important not to jump to conclusions about whether Philogene is that bothered, given he's not said anything either way.

As an example, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens at Dortmund is now just Jamie Gittens. Nothing to do with any family issues, he's just said he wants to make it easier for fans and commentators to pronounce his name. And his Dad, Mr. Bynoe is perfectly happy with it.

I'd guess he wouldn't be bothered one way or the other if Dortmund supporters used the longer-form version.

While I don't see any reason not to use Philogene's newer version I don't think it needs the performative outrage either.

Here's the lad himself, post his decision to drop the 'Bidace' bit from the name on his shirt, still referring to himself as 'Jaden Philogene-Bidace'. It's almost like it's still his actual name, despite certain people claiming to know better.

What does he call himself on that ‘how to pronounce my name’ video that came out a few days ago?

Duran and Mings are great on that.

He's banned, I think. Shame, I like him.

No, he posts on GtG.

Oh, that's good. It's nice to have posters who share my antipathy to the Green Bay Packers.
