In a day and age where money usually buys success in many professional sports
the story of Leicester is interesting. David Icke said years ago that he for saw
2016/7/8 as pivotal years for many reason and is one reason he is embarking
on his open ended world tour starting this year.

This is fun post but also feels a bit like an omen in a odd way...LOL

Davids was born in the city of Leicester in 1952 and it was his birthday
last week and for an ex professional soccer player its a special present
for him and all supporters and for the city of Leicester itself.....

Miracles are not only possible - they happen ...congratulations Leicester City - EVERYTHING is possible

‘Leicester City have won the English Premier League title after closest rivals Tottenham
Hotspur blew a two-goal lead to draw at last season’s winners Chelsea.

Monday’s result meant second-placed Tottenham will not be able to overtake Leicester
City, who have a seven-point lead at the top.

Leicester on path to achieve ultimate football fairytale

Tottenham’s two-goal advantage came courtesy of first-half goals from Harry Kane and
Son Heung-min but Chelsea pulled a goal back just before the hour-mark with a Gary
Cahill strike from a corner.’

In the first video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdp4TcwuLM0) Cider posted above, Gary Lineker, ex-England soccer player and now TV personality, said: "This is actually impossible". (He was right, too. :) )

And he also said it may be the biggest shock in the history of sport... a comment that sounds ridiculous if quite a few other very level-headed commentators, including on CNN, hadn't said exactly the same thing as well.

Another possible omen ? The remains of King Richard 111 made
infamous by William Shakespeare and Tudor propaganda was
found under a car park in Leicester and now are interned in the
cities cathedral. Maybe Richard is showing his thanks ?

Also by coincidence it is the 400th anniversary of the
great bards death....

Yes someone did do something similar there was an article last week somewhere ?
on the lines that somebody placed a 50p bet but cashed out soon after for 45p
so lost 5p. But would have won several hundred if they left it.

Interesting point! Yes, sport is (often, but not always) a pacifier, just more fluoride and prozac on our TV screens. (And yes, music can be, too.)

But sport is also — sometimes — a death-or-glory David-and-Goliath contest, the stuff of archetypes and myth: actually far from trivial, when extraordinary things happen.

I've posted occasionally about mountaineering tales, including one or two of my own. Extraordinary things happen on mountains, too: astounding selfless acts, staggering determination to survive, impossible rescues, heroic solo endeavors. All that material is mythic as well. It's a showcase for the human spirit.

Sport (like music) is heavily manipulated and abused by corporate and big-money interests — but occasionally, human beings triumph against all odds, and that may be the significance of this story: because this time, the Goliath giant of Big Money didn't win.

LOL! This was no heroic event! They won by default due to bad game rules and now everyone is running around town claiming they are now favored for giving Richard III a proper burial! BTW, Manchester would have wiped the floor with them. In this case, David got himself a get out of jail free card and he played it! But it is nice to see that PA does have tolerance for things that interest its membership that are not necessarily relevant to the "cause". - at least its male membership. Now, can we please talk about the Met Gala last night and how that Versace dress is life altering? Just sayin' :)

Hello AriG, 'just sayin'' I loathe football, the trouble it caused us when I lived in Manchester was terrible, the noise, pub brawls, WAGS, housing crises in Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Bowden and Hale due to requests for underground automated car-parking and inhouse spa's....

I completely agree Avid :) I am the daughter of an American Footballer who died last Memorial Day of Lewy Body disease (from way too many blows to the head, coupled with the ensuing alcoholism from the stress of the brain trauma). Football on either continent is a disruption. That said, my comments were not about football really. I just couldn't resist the urge to call Bill out on this one. After all, he has "stickied" my hypocrisy for all to see (really fine, but funny). And yes, it is great to see the underdog get a win. But there are underdogs here at Avalon too. One who was feeling belittled and ignored for his music thread. And I was called out for participating after making what i thought were some constructive suggestions. I could go on about my perceptions, mainly gender inequality, but i won't. That may be something i am carrying forward and projecting. Or not. As in the 'real world', there does seem to be a disconnect here between the masculine and feminine, with the latter being shown much less respect, imo. But, I digress. Bill talks about balance and balance is very important. Even more important, is consistency. Consistency in the standards that are upheld for all members, regardless of their number of "thanks" or their gender perspective. That's where i was coming from. A 'level playing field' (pun intended).

My CNN reference was just to point out that what happened in English soccer had been so far out of the ordinary that it even grabbed the attention of the American media. (It actually made headlines all over the world: http://bbc.com/news/world-36190043)

But that's not the point I was trying to make here — or that David Icke was stressing. It's a metaphor.

I'm not at all interested in soccer, and never have been. But I am interested in giant-slaying stories, and human heroics, of any kind. Hence my mountaineering references, as well. (Do ask more about those! :) )

The metaphor is that sometimes, David does slay Goliath. The importance of being encouraged by that doesn't need too much explanation to those in the position of a very disadvantaged minority.

Thank you for the clarification! :) I think you actually meant allegory versus metaphor. Thank you for your tolerance of my insolence. I have my own work to do and it will require much introspection. Thank you also for considering the feminine perspective, which at its core, decries that which embraces violence, whether it be the violence of war or the violence of sport. One in the same. Anti-life/Anti-Creation.

Do tell us more about Mountaineering! That said, choosing to put one's well being in jeopardy to climb a mountain is akin to willful suicide. To prove a thing that does not require proving. Like the motorcylist "crotch rockets" that sped beside me on the highway last night at 100 MPH. Organ donors. Willfully so. Perhaps the manifestation of testosterone. The Holy Male. Perhaps the antithesis of my self perceived sexism. The feminine seeks to protect. The masculine seeks to challenge. Both are probably requisite to survival. But only in the sacrifice of identity and co-mingling of each drive do we truly find balance... and consistency.

I'm going to let my ego out of the box for a moment here.

I'll start by saying I'm delighted that Leicester won the (self-proclaimed) toughest league in the world. That's purely to do with the underdog conquering all, the David and Goliath scenario that Bill mentions above.

Stepping back but a fraction of an inch I'm perfectly aware that it borders on insanity on almost every level I can think of, literally billions swirl around this theatre of mock war whilst hard-working individuals give up 10% of their income to watch a game and homeless people beg on the streets around the grounds. For every person that goes away from a game feeling happy because their side won, their counterpart sits there in misery; all that emotion for nothing, pleasure and pain. Cui bono, and I don't mean in terms of money.

(Here comes the ego). This thread has attracted a fair bit of attention already, whilst this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?90310-Hillsborough-Verdicts--1989-English-soccer-stadium-disaster-) thread had hardly any. Yet the latter thread was about a 26 year old cover-up being revealed. The truth will out, light has shone into the darkness etc. The people who pushed and pushed for an enquiry were often labelled conspiracy theorists. They weren't.

I know which event I think was more important in the grand scheme of things. :)

http://moodle.southwirral.wirral.sch.uk/file.php/1/pic_for_frontpage/hillsborough_96.jpg

That could be considered a 'miracle' in the age of media cover ups and conspiracy theories
that are true and happening all the time as we all know and so would the general public
if they took a moment to digest what a conspiracy is. The fact the truth has been officially
accepted by the establishment even though the information was available more or less
the day after the event is an achievement to all those concerned.

There are many other enquiry cover ups 9/11 and the current Iraq war one still being
delayed are a couple off the top of my head. I just posted an article from the headline
page on the chemtrail thread which has scary rammifactions if not stopped...

Free speech is definitely under attack as part of the war on terror and a clamp down

I think you actually meant allegory versus metaphor.

Yes, I think I did! :bigsmile: I often get confused between analogies, allegories, and metaphors. I need to sit down sometime with a cold towel on my head and figure those three all out. :)

Kurt Hahn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Hahn), the founder of the Outward Bound Movement, started it a few years after the end of World War II as what he called "the moral equivalent of war".

He'd observed that in real, live-shooting war, young people often discovered (and kept forever after) the very best in themselves — teamwork, leadership, good decision-making under great pressure, problem-solving, enduring hardship for a greater cause, helping others before oneself, and so on.

So he tried to replicate all of that available learning in a non-violent environment (for men as well as women). The Outward Bound Schools — and I used to be an instructor in my early 20s — have evolved a great deal since then, but the premise remains the same. This is a hackneyed cliché, but I saw with my own eyes how boys became men in just a few weeks.

This is a huge subject of its own (what's a 'man', anyway, or what should one be?), but that's really all about my earlier mountaineering reference — and ocean sailing, too, which works in much the same way, though I have less extreme personal experience of that.

I've shared several mountaineering stories in the forum, a few of them my own, all about extraordinary situations and how one can come face to face with one's own profound self, all else stripped away in that moment, for better or worse — a situation not all that many get to experience. It can be life-changing, valuable, and far from trivial in any sense.

But balance — I do of course understand, and agree completely.

The fairytale is complete. The movie has its perfect Hollywood ending. Now,
what about that sequel?

Will it be Leicester: Back with a Vengeance or The Premier League Strikes Back?

The bookies - still reeling from the eye-watering financial gut-punch of a Leicester
title win - are hedging their bets.


The Foxes are 33-1 to be champions again, 5-1 to finish in the top four, 15-8 to
finish in the bottom half, and 25-1 to be relegated. When it comes to Leicester's
fortunes next season, it seems no scenario can be ruled out.

And then there's the Champions League. Costly continental distraction, or new
frontier to be conquered?

Here, BBC Sport examines what next season might hold for Leicester.

I expect all these foreign media are having trouble getting their tongues round the name Leicester: they’d be mad if ever they found out it was just ‘Lester’ :)
There is a whole other layer to the ‘bread and circuses’ thing. Enjoying a nice meal and the excitement of physical exhilaration are two of the things one would be looking for in a better world. The problem is that they are turned into distractions from something altogether less wholesome: inedible food and TV sport for couch potatoes. The puritanical work ethic itself is just another, opposite form of manipulation, both mental and physical: you are only doing something worthwhile when working. ‘Arbeit macht frei’ at the entrance to the concentration camps is a blatant distortion of the slogan ‘the truth will set you free’.

Work/play is just one of many many versions of the carnival mentality: on carnival day, from behind a mask, you can be rude to your betters, thereby emphasizing the obligation to toe the line every other day in the year. We now have days for just about everything to let it all hang out every once in a while and keep it all tucked in the rest of the time. One of the problems comes with an activity such as reading: reading a book is often despised as time-wasting (play), thereby ignoring the fact that play can be hard work and work is often hard play. Inability to cope with this dialectical relationship between the two notably leads to the absurdity whereby the last place to get an education would be school or college.

Likewise there is of course a financial interest in top level sport: sport becomes business; here in Europe there is an American takeover with the desire to import the major league closed-shop system in order to make more money, and hence to sideline the minnows... the would-be giant-killers.
http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/european-super-league-to-hell-with-the-american-way-a-closed-shop-is-wrong-a3193881.html
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/sam-wallace-elite-clubs-seek-to-reinforce-their-closed-shop-at-the-top-with-new-financial-rules-8486177.html
https://www.sundaypost.com/sport/sport-opinion/alan-brazil-champions-league-closed-shop-would-be-a-disaster/

However, I don’t entirely see the need for conspiracy theory to explain this situation. There is a human tendency towards laziness that is explainable in terms of different energy levels. It happens on every level. In the home, a hyperactive person will satisfy their need to expend energy by wanting to do everything, and the tendency for others is to react by doing less and less and letting them get on with it. However, until they make a personal contribution, they are in no position to complain when things are not to their liking or when mistakes occur. And of course things won’t be to their liking, and mistakes will inevitably occur whenever someone undertakes something, and especially when they are not the best person to be doing it. In other words, to achieve harmony, everyone has to pull their weight, to the extent of their possibly limited ability.

Applying this to what I am doing right here, this thread and this post may seem lightweight on one level (play); on another it is as heavy (work) as any other. Seriousness is on a sliding scale; sliding is like other things, you use it or lose it.

Claudio Ranieri: Leicester City sack Premier League-winning manager


http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/480/cpsprodpb/4A58/production/_94823091_ranieri.jpg
Ranieri was appointed Leicester manager in July 2015,
winning just over 44% of his league matches

Manager Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Leicester City,
nine months after leading them to the Premier League title.

The Foxes are one point above the relegation zone with 13
matches left.

"The board reluctantly feels that a change of leadership,
while admittedly painful, is necessary in the club's greatest
interest," read a statement.

Ranieri, 65, guided the Foxes to the title despite them being
rated 5,000-1 shots at the start of the campaign.

Typical Leicester win 3-1 at home to Liverpool , no mean feat
and Vardy scored 2 after a poor scoring season so far. Yet if
you look at the stats Liverpool dominated possession and shots
but there you go . Would they have done this is Claudio was still
there ? we will never know.....Anyway congratulations to the
fans who have enjoyed the highs and lows in three consecutive
seasons so far.....

Given that a) the new manager is called Shakespeare, b) William Shakespeare was reportedly sacked from his job as the writer of his plays, c) this makes the works of Shakespeare something of a miracle, and d) the real Shakespeare was probably an Italian – I reckon this thread needs merging with the Shakespeare thread http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?95596-Mark-Twain-s-Is-Shakespeare-Dead--Shakespeare-did-NOT-write-Shakespeare---&p=1129191&viewfull=1#post1129191 :)

To Merge or not merge ? That is the question......
