Bin Dippers name Wes Morgan Club Captain

[chriscl]

Not sure what to think of that.

Looking at our squad now, I wish we'd never sold him!

I still think Wes is awesome, I'm not sure he's a leader though. If you know what I mean.

[TucsonHooligan]

I always liked Wes, he worked hard and seemed fully dedicated to the team and to doing his job to the best of his ability. That being said, he definitely seemed to be lacking in the intelligence department. I'd take him back in a second, wish we had never sold him, but somehow he seems like he would be a worse captain than Chambers. And thats sayin something.

Also, how did the people of Leicester get the "bin dippers" nickname? Any specific incident behind it or is it just an insult for the sake of an insult? The American equivalent, if you'd like to sound worldly, is "dumpster diver".

[wildman]

Nickname comes from their Foxes sobriquet... urban foxes are particularly known for raiding bins etc.

LTLF word of the day!

Agreed. Deftly employed my good man.

[wildman]

Haha, thanks fellas. Word-a-day toilet paper paying off...

[RobbieLePop]

Congratulations to him. I'm not sure he'll be a great leader but I'm glad he's been entrusted with a captaincy as he deserves a shot at it. Model pro.

Come on now, Davy - we live in Europe. We don't adopt the American idiom when we wish to seem worldly; we do so only to give the impression of ignorance...

Right on, that's A-OK, dude.

Cheap shot!

Cheap shot!

It's the only shot I know!

[TucsonHooligan]

We may be stupid, slow and prone to electing whomever will deliver us the most free shit from the public coffers, but at least we're not overweight as a result of years of laziness and a diet consisting strictly of processed foods!

If you believe that you have never been to Alabama / Georgia / Loooooosana or Miss.

Or come to think of it you have never been to IHOP on a Friday night!

Sorry I'm not good with subtle stuff.

A good leader leads by example, and Wes puts his body, heart & soul on the line for his team.

Good luck to Wes - should be a good year for him at Leicester

Disappointed to be the first to make the Captain Morgan reference (and to have thought of it so late myself).

Yarrr. Rum!

I said it to a mate yesterday, but like you it took me a while. And I like rum.

A lot
