Pre Match Leicester City vs Derby County FA Cup 4th round replay

[Brown Nose]

Fair play to our fans. Only a smattering of singles remaining on sale this evening.

Understatement of the year is that the players owe the fans a performance.

 

[Micky]

We will win this and quite comfortably. I predict the following:

Zieler

Chilwell
Amartey
Benalouane
Simpson

Musa
Mendy
King
Albrighton

Okazaki
Vardy

Seemingly the beeb don't know the rules either....

There could be a debut for transfer deadline day signing Molla Wague, but Islam Slimani is still sidelined.

Must have been changed in the last few minutes because it now says:

"New signing Molla Wague is ineligible because he joined the club after the original tie, while Islam Slimani and Leonardo Ulloa are still injured."

Ok, how's this fit a question? Q. Would you take winning the FA Cup and being relegated this season? A.?

 

[LeeCovFox]

Without hesitation. Until last season an FA Cup win was the one thing I really wanted to see us achieve in my lifetime. It would still be special to me because of our history; four final defeats, all of which well before my time. I'd love to follow in the footsteps of older generations of Leicester supporters and watch us in a Cup Final, only this time getting to watch our players hold the trophy aloft.

Relegation? I'd rather it didn't happen but so what if it does? It would be the fourth I've seen from the top flight since the mid-1990s and I'll be amazed if I don't treble that count before I shuffle off. We go up and down. It's all part of the fun.

If someone had asked last year

'Your beloved Leicester City can actually win the Premier League right now. Yes that's right, the Premier League FFS.
BUT it means you then have to watch them fall apart and be relegated the following season.

Would you accept that?'

I wonder how many would have said no.......

 

[LeeCovFox]

They wouldn't have said yes either.

They'd have said "don't be so ****ing ridiculous. It's not possible and we'll probably get relegated regardless, you idiot". Or something.

I would have taken anything short of the club going out of existence. And possibly that too.

 

[Dour]

I'm looking forward to this, regardless.

A night match at home against Derby.

That's always going to be a game I'll be wanting to be there, watching. Even if it is on the telly. Even if it's not the first team. Even if we're playing like shit and may well lose.

It'll be cold. It'll be dark. And once you get up the steps and into the stadium, it'll be bright and rowdy and everyone there hoping. That'll do me.

[yackandandah]

My guess would be Benalouane.

 

[Lako42]

Wow.................................Morgan is playing against Swansea

 

[yackandandah]

Don't worry. Claudio will tell him just hours before kick off that he's not.

 

[Miles Away]

Nice use of quotation marks by BBC Leicester there.

 

[City Fan]

Had better be Benny. I hope to never have to see Wasilewski in a Leicester shirt again.
