    Best result for us today, Derby v QPR

    On the face of it, a dour 0-0 with bookings & injuries a plenty! :077: Looking at the table more carefully though, would suggest a Derby low scoring win will keep a nice points buffer between us and the chasing pack :038:

    England - one down, one to go!

    Job well done today & respect to Roy Hodgson for picking such an attacking team. A few old timers on here will remember the night Poland blanked us 0-0 at Wembley to shatter our world cup dreams - 25 shots on target, not one went in. One of the few occasions football has made me cry (I was...

    Chris Powell - future Leicester manager

    I shall definately be giving Chris Powell the clap on Saturday He deserves respect for his classy performances in an LCFC shirt, and success at modest-sized, family club Charlton over the past couple of years. I hope the Charlton board keep faith with him after their dissappointing start...

    FA cup quarter final - Everton v Leicester

    For all the numpties on here who shugged off our FA Cup home loss to Huddersfield as 'no big deal', a couple of questions... A real fan wants to see his team win every game, regardless of any extenuating circumstances. This weekend, when all fans of the clubs left in the Cup were waking up...

    It's like having 60 points

    Great win today and everyone around us lost Six points behind Cardiff in the 6th play off spot, but we have a vastly superior goal difference to them and everyone between us & them, which is like having an extra point What we need now is some of the old "Foxes never Quit" spirit, everyone...

    The big difference Pearson makes

    Players being quoted in the press this weekend saying "Pearson's arrival has sent a buzz around the club", is great news. The drawn out managerial saga must have had an effect on the team, as modern-day footballers are like spoiled babies more than in any other generation, so to have someone at...

    Michael Ball sold for 6.5 million

    to Rangers by Everton in 2001 Nice bit of business by Sven For all those questioning Sven's leadership after two bad results, we've not had a manager with the clout SGE has, in attracting top players Everyone who came in over the summer has said, playing for Sven was a big part of the...

    What happened to Waghorn?

    When he first came down on loan form Sun'lan he was like Championship version of Wayne Rooney, powerful runs on goal, harassing defenders, shooting on sight, etc A 3 million pound striker shouldn't have gone off his game so quickly Is it a confidence thing because he's not a regular...

    Best Championship line-up ever

    Leicester City have had a major rebuild under Sven & the new Thai owners, adding some excellent players and building a strong squad, but lets not be under any illusions.. this will be a long, tough season. Although it's a nice compliment to the club & testimony to the quality of players...

    Goalkeeping legends

    The history of Banks v Shilton popped up in the Keith Weller thread Mark Wallington was mentioned by some astute fan I think most would agree, Wallington has 'Fox Legend' status as much for his staying power and on-field personality as his goalkeeping prowess Fox fans may be interested...

    Nerds give Leicester the edge...

    I had a senior boffin at work do a statistical analysis (similar to predicting the result of a horse race), taking into account the players we have available, our run-in opponents, and even the improving weather conditions (the game at Ipswich showed our boys don't like playing in wintery...

    Crowds this year

    28,000 for the Bristol City game on Friday night Significantly more than Forest's home game vs Portsmouth and this morning`s Premiership west mids derby WBA v Wolves Nice to see the Leicester public supporting the team`s efforts and reward for Sven`s attacking (& winning) style

    Yakubu - shades of Frank Worthington

    Yesterday's game was beamed right across the United States & Canada, and was agreat advert for how far LCFC have come under Sven. They dominated 85% the game, pasing the ball fluently and always trying to create something for the forwards Yakubu with two knee flicks & a powerful volley past...

    Rallying Cry for the boys

    The attitude of the majority of Leicester fans seems to be let's go up to Manchester today for a nice day out, oooh & ahhh at the beautiful COM stadium and watch our team get spanked 4 or 5 nil. Pretty realistic expectations when you look at a team containing the likes of Carlos Tevez, Adam...

    Is Yakubu cup-tied for Man City?

    We should probably play the same team that put in such a sterling performance on Sunday, with Yakubu coming off the bench for the last 15 mins if we're still in with a shout

    Sven replacing C Davis with Woodgate in Jan

    Sadly Curtis Davis has just announced that despite enjoying his time at City, he wants go back to Villa & fight for his place when the loan period expites Jan 5th. Harry Redknapp is looking to loan Jonathon Woodgate out for a few months to a Championship club, to help build his fitness...

    Leicester to lose out on hosting World Cup games

    Walkers Stadium is on the short-list to host WC group-stage games if England's 2018 bid is successful, and as of last month we were favourites to host the tournament We should be an established Premiership side by then, but regardless, we already have the quality of stadium & travel...

    It's always darkest before the dawn....

    Come on lads - what ever happened to the 'Foxes Never Quit' spirit? As a 'foxile' living abroad, I've only seen two of this season's Leicester games on TV (Reading & Cardiff), but both times we looked impressive under Paulo's leadership 90% of the Forum comments are negative but I can see...

    Steve Howard & Matt Fryatt were superb

    Steve Howard played the best game I've seen him play for Leicester last night He did everything you want from a centre forward - putting himself about, winning balls, holding the ball up, shooting & heading for goal A good honest performance with a skill & mobility level that I thought was...

    Psychic Predictions for the Playoffs

    Cardiff are strong & we have a poor record against them away, which on the surface seems bad news for City as we play the crucial second-leg there However, I'm getting strong psychic tinglings in my nether regions that LCFC will overpower them 3-0 at home, and get a scrapping draw or one goal...

    Leicester support at Preston

    How many did we take today? Looking at a crowd of 15,000, it should have been around 3,000 for such an important game For all the heartache & disappointment that comes hand-in-hand with being a fan, days like today, make it all worthwhile A second half screamer to win the game, I'm sure a...

    Get DJ back, NOW!

    He did it again today - we're looking for a Blackpool loss to help confirm our Play-Off spot, and the little weasle bags a brace to help one of our rivals to add three points to their total. Boro lost, so that eliminates them, but Blackpool are still nipping at our heels, like an annoying rash...

    Congratulations England

    As a fan of LCFC & England for the past 40 years, I wanted to comment on what a fantastic achievement yesterday's crushing of Croatia was. As a young kid I was reduced to tears in 1973 when we failed to qualify for the following year's World Cup after a 1-1 home draw with Poland & knew I...

    Ade Akinbiyi sets the MLS alight....not

    As a Leicester Lad living in Canada, I read the story of Ade Akinbiyi moving to Houston Dynamo from Burnley recently, with interest. As a Toronto FC season ticket holder, the schedule showed Houston Dynamo visiting Toronto on Saturday July 18th (yesterday), sufficient # of weeks for him to...
