    They're talking about us

    Does anyone (aside from Top, Susan Whelan, and maybe Mrs Rudkin) actually rate Jon Rudkin? At any other club, or at any other time at this club, I'd be really suspicious of a manager saying what Enzo's said to be saying here. But he's right, the club needs changes that it is simply not the...

    Leicester face questions about FFP

    Have you been following what's been happening at Reading? They lost a playoff final to Huddersfield which would have seen go straight back up and now look likely to lose everything. Pretty sure it'll be the same for us if we don't go up this season, only faster

    do we want automatic promotion or get in the play offs

    Are the finances that different between coming in the top two or playing the extra games from the playoffs? I think whichever of Leeds, Ipswich or us doesn't go up automatically will more likely collapse than go up anyway - Coventry are showing they've got the cup pedigree and they've beaten us...

    Post Match Chelsea 4 Leicester 2

    Even with ten men, we looked good until the third goal went in - and I think it's fair to point out that the vision for creating it was outstanding. Chasing them game led to the fourth, but until then we weren't down and out. Think we should be pleased with the performance and Enzo can take a...

    They’ve moved it to New White Hart Lane (or whatever it’s called) - which is a fantastic ground, hopefully this means they're going to make big efforts to get a suitable crowd too, feel very jealous of our fans living in London now!

    Post Match Hull 2 Leicester 2

    We went behind, and I thought we'd fold. We went behind again, and I thought we'd definitely fold this time. So perhaps not that bad a result if we're finding some kind of mental strength which hasn't been there when things haven't gone our way previously

    Pre Match Hull v Leicester

    McAteer doesn't seem to work on the left, which really leaves only Albrighton as an option to replace Mavididi. Considering how much Enzo clearly doesn't trust him, it'd be a big surprise for him to get significant game time - let alone the start that Stephy's recent performances deserve. I...

    Has there been anything saying how long he'll be out? We've also missed Vestypants, though a lot of Doyle's passing was great last night, so hopefully he ablity to pass it out will help mitigate for his loss too

    Post Match Sunderland 0 Leicester 1

    The confidence was certainly there for the first half of the first half. By the time the actual goal went in we could easily have been three up. Is it a form of over-confidence perhaps that, as we've all seen a few times now, we get one and then sitback only to then find 'it' can't be easily...

    They've announced their assistant as caretaker for the rest of the season, with the Word On The Street being that Will Still will join in the summer. So I wouldn't expect a significant improvement from where they've been recently, which is a lot worse than when we were lucky to beat Mowbray's men

    What an appallingly written piece - I'm none the wiser if he's been sentenced to a year inside with a further year suspended, just a suspended sentence, or some mixture of the two.

    Doesn't most of McAteer's contribution to those stats come from him playing on the wing rather than inside? One lucky goal aside, I don't think he's produced much at all from 8. I like Yunus, but he just doesn't seem quite right in that position either - I think he'd work better on his own with...

    They're talking about us

    Absolutely, but we seem to be discussing who should fill the role of second understudy to that position. Given the inability to get anyone in, I'd have been content for Soumare to be recalled last month and given a go. I really don't think he'd be worse than McAteer, and it's not like Yunus or...
