We paid about the same money for Riyad Mahrez as we did for Mark Blake and Ian Ormondroyd from that game...

Yesterday, wasn't it?

 

[Motown Fox]

We're ready for Arsenal.
Bring it on.

Looks like work for me this afternoon then!

I have been reading a lot of deluded comments of late. There seems to be almost a presumption that we are going to beat the gooners (not on here I'll add!). I think our defensive frailties will be severely exposed here. 4-1 to the gooners. Miserable twat.

Schlupp to repeat his clash of heads with Koscielny, resulting in Koscielny again being substituted after wandering around in a daze for 5 minutes.

Schlupp then to be sent off after rushing around trying to headbutt the rest of the Arsenal team.

I think you have a point, but bringing in Fuchs for Schlupp sacrificing a bit of speed for a more orthodox left back who proved on Tuesday that he is a much better in this position than Schlupp. Plus Fuchs can provide good balls into the box, without sacrificing his position which improves our defence. De Leat is an enigma, very good going forward, but I really do not think he a right back, I also realise that he has no one covering his position when he makes these forward runs, that leaves obvious gaps at the back, which teams exploit, and there is no doubt Arsenal will do the same. So De Leat under instructions to play a more defensive role or Simpson as a more natural right back, personally I would go for De Laet as his speed gives a few us more options but this time around he must give his defensive duties priority.

[SWFox]

Yes.

I assume Chambers will come in. Not sure whether that makes much of a difference or not. Other than the fact he's inexperienced so maybe Vardy might get the better of him.

I guess the game will be won or lost elsewhere on the pitch, mostly IMO on whether we can keep Sanchez quiet.

Interesting line ups, I really don't remember this game.

I liked our midfield in that team Draper was class. Never saw Thompson miss a penalty even if he did put every one the same way.

Our strikers show why we were doomed. Roberts on the bench?

Arsenal have a Leicester legend up front and an American President in midfield.

Who know's who was Leicester (caretaker I believe) manager that day?

I think it will be a tough game. Arsenal are desperate not to fall further behind.

I can see them defending a 2 goal lead.

The manager was one of the back room staff who I believe covered 1 or 2 games? Kevin McDonald ?

It was Allan Evans. Brian Little had quit the previous day so the atmosphere that night was quite surreal. By some miracle, two days later, Little was handed a new job at Villa and took Evans with him. None of us saw that coming!

I seem to remember Evans putting a dampener on that win by being a total twat in the post match interview.

The match itself was pretty poor. The crowd pulled the team through against a lame Arsenal side. We then went a couple of months without another win as Little's team disintegrated without him and we slid towards relegation.

Since that night, we've played Arsenal in seventeen league matches, losing eleven and drawing six. We did do them on penalties in the 4th round of the FA Cup in 2000.
