Their own fans will be furious about that. It will be permanently referred to as the Wanker Bowl, or Bowel come to think of it. I'd think you were having me on Clarky if this wasn't April 2nd.

Leicester will be laughing all the way to the Bank. And they'll need all the cash they can get in the 1st...

I think its a really crisp name. Some might even say tastey. Will they all sit on little blue bags?

They'll be thanking their lucky stars Walker isn't a sanitary ware manufacturer.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the headline on Sporting Life was using an 'n' instead of 'l'. As if relegation wasn't enough suffering for their supporters.

They should have called it Fcukwit Street. Seems more appropriate to the guy who came up with their new name.

I thought the Walker Bowl was called the Lightfoot Stadium. Is it still there? 25 years ago I used to play 5-a-side there!
