Mahrez was fantastic, only thing missing was a goal and then a celebration of giving the retards in L1 the finger who were booing him all game.

Was it L1? I'm in SK4 and could have sworn it was the Blades fans who booed him..
Mind you, there were a few boos at the back of SK4 but when the scum realised they were in a massive minority they soon shut up. Our first corner of the second half saw him get great applause as he came over to take it and of course the standing ovation (from those who hadn't dicked off early) when he went off was richly deserved.
 
I could hear some booing from the crowd on the coverage I was watching. I couldn't have said were it was from though. Cameras showed a group of Leicester fans but it's obviously difficult to say how many of them were booing. And it certainly didn't seem to be for the entire game. Praps once they'd gotten it off their chests then they moved on. I hope so.
 
Booing was from Sheffield U fans we were right next to them
 
There was some excellent football from us although it was usually in harmless parts of the pitch.

I was very impressed by Ndidi although Mike Stowell was not. Mr Stowell was in good voice complaining about Ndidi's position when we had corners. Mr Stowell is the shouter while Stone Cold Mike Appleton sits glaring and brooding like a managerial Gary Taylor Fletcher.

As often happens in cup games different people were sat with me. I realised how much I like the usual group and the banter that comes with a bunch who have sat, suffered and celebrated together over a number of years.
 
A business like performance from us. Got the job done with the minimum of fuss.

I was very bored though. It made me wonder if that's what it's like watching Arsenal at the Emirates each week. Pass, pass, pass against a team that put all their players behind the ball and hope for an occasional break.

My other thought last night was how we're turning into any other Premier League team now. We're losing our individuality and identity as a unique gang of misfits out to upset the status quo. We're now the status quo. I don't know whether that's a good thing or not.

Mahrez was the only one really worth the admission fee. Wonderful feet and that movement where he fooled the entire stadium whose eyes were expecting the ball to be played out to the left and he'd dummied right was a delight.

Chilwell could be a great left back. He's got a lot of rough edges yet though and he'll cost us a few more times before he learns how to defend properly. He's worth it though.

I've just checked my FA Cup bet to remind myself of what's at stake - £20 at 25/1 means that I'll be more than interested in the QF draw later.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer the age old tradition of the draw being on the One Show. Modern football eh?

Why don't they just do the whole draw in one go before the 4th round so you can see who you play next all the way to Wembley?

Would mean a few more video shorts of pointless museums so could be a plan. Could play every tie at Wembley too.
 
I preferred the Monday lunchtime draw broadcast on the radio. Huddled round a small transistor at school which we weren't supposed to have and being late for lessons.
 
Talking of Sheffield, what is the connection between Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow?

Two football clubs?

... though Glasgow strictly has more.
