Pre Match Chelsea v Leicester

[Joe_Fox]

I'm going and I'm going to be as miserable as possible.

Even if we win?

 

[Lako42]

Sounds like we've injured Maddison now and he'll be out against Chelsea


I can't imagine how utterly pathetic we'll be in an attacking sense with him out.

He’ll use it as an excuse, even though he ****ed up our medical department.

Has he ****ed your missus yet? I'm assuming it's only a matter of time.

 

[bocadillo]

Kante out for four weeks.

****ing Rodgers' fault.

 

[H T B]

Will Chelsea announce their new signing at half time ?

 

[Graz]

Hope the Fofana transfer and way it's happened inspires us to go get a smash and grab win here.

In reality they've probably taken one of our best players and will now beat us 4-0 or more, with Amartey having a shit show and Evans getting injured.

 

[Brown Nose]

This is a wonderful day to play Chelsea.

Their manager is banned, their main central defender is banned, their new one not yet available, no striker worth the name, and so on. They're really vulnerable.

If we were our normal selves, this would be an exciting prospect. However, I fully expect us to surrender again.

We have a mardy manager, disjointed tactics and a team lacking heart and guts.

Contrast that with a game we played 25 years ago today. City 3 Arsenal 3. That Bergkamp performance.

Back then we had a manager that rose taller in adversity and a squad that had some quality but was littered with players desperately trying to be more than their talent allowed.

If only I could take their hearts and minds and implant them into our current squad, we'd be flying.

Agree and it was great game - 25 years has flown by

 

[camberwell fox]

T’was an incredible match, Bergkamp was immense and Walsh had the heart of a lion and never knew when he was beaten.

A truly awesome game.

 

[alex]

A very special Leicester City time.

 

[H T B]

Really, I thought it only came to life in the last 15 plus all the injury time

 

[Miles Away]

Walshy was brilliant, wasn’t he?

 

[pork pie fox]

Walshy was brilliant, wasn’t he?

Looks sharp in his suit on match days still.

 

[camberwell fox]

Walshy was brilliant, wasn’t he?

An awesome player.

Makes some of the lightweights we have now look like right wimps.

He’s here, he’s there, he’s everyfuckingwhere, Steve Walsh. I can still recall the game where during the warm up he was playing as a defender and then as soon as the whistle blew he ran up to play centre forward.

Bloody hell. That’s hard reading.

Except he's injured and unlikely to play today. Massive shame!
