Forum Comp Day 5, FRIDAY. Wolves v Leicester @ 8pm

Tikay10 · February 2020

We revert to our staple diet of Premier League football this evening, & as luck would have it, the Wolves v Leicester game should be a corker to start the weekend, though I fear I suggest that rather too often.

Leicester sit in 3rd place, while Wolves are a huge 14 points in arrears in 9th place. Wolves have home advantage though, and a win here catapults Wolves into the Top Six.

As ever with these 2 teams, we get a chance to watch Maddison & the exhilarating Adama Traore.

One feature both teams share is that their games almost always involve goals for both sides.

Quite a surprise to see Leicester as big as 9/5 for this, I had them as favourites in my book.

Kick off is 8pm, & it's televised on BT Sport.

One of my favourite Managers, Nuno Espirito Santo, aka "Nuno". Very clever bloke.

I'm less impressed with Brendan Rodgers, though I'm not entirely sure why. I expect he's a lovely bloke. Probably.

Leicester have been on a mid-season break, & the players were given the week off to do whatever they wanted, within reason.

James Maddison is young & single, & enjoyed himself to the full, but of course the gutter press were soon on his case.

He's a young, high-spirited athlete, & he was on holiday, so his actions don't seem unreasonable to me. Yes, he has history for "late night frolics", but at his age, with money burning a hole in his pocket, what do people expect him to do? Sit & play poker? Oh wait, he does that too.
