We've looked a lot better away than at home so far. This is a good test.

Almost right. Late King winner.

Surely will this Saturday at some point.

And if he does I'll give him a standing ovation.

NP on him, Bristol City and returning to Leicester on Saturday. Despite reports, it appears as though he will be there.

Good news
You can shout at him and call him a complete **** - just like the old days

I never had an issue with NP doing the things he excelled at. He built the club that did amazing things and that is his strength. He deserves loads of credit for that.
I had a major issue with his ability to get the best out of the players at his disposal through dreadful tactics and decisions. As we proved after he left, we were much, much, better than he had us playing.

Time has made me more appreciative of Pearson. I don't really warm to bullies, but he seems to have softened a bit in his old age.

I’m not sure he was a bully (I don’t know that obviously)… he just seemed to me for a period to say and do weird things under pressure. People do weird stuff under pressure. He definitely seems to have mellowed. He made peace with stringer.

Pulled us by the bootstraps out of League 1 and back to the Championship, had he not we could easily have floundered like a Leeds, Forest, Sheff Weds. We should all forever be indebted for that.
His tactical ability against quality sides who are able to change they way they play I’ve always questioned.
Anyone who thinks he could have won the Premier League with the same squad in 2016 is smoking strong drugs.
His (Entertaining) under pressure responses to the press will always be what most football fans remember.

Agree ....and let's not forget "The Great Escape" to keep us in the PL
(.... though some might say it was down to Cambiasso and #staying up with Homer)

Andy King is one of my all time favourite players for us. He's been through so much with us.
Hope he gets on the pitch.
A lot of love for him and Pearson, and I'm even fond towards Matty James.
Pearson got us back from the doldrums, set up the team that brought us Vardy and Mahrez, and established the base for what happened next. And I like that he's softened a bit now he's got older.

Soumare. I don't care that he won't be anywhere near the pitch, if the **** is in the ground I still want him throttled.
