Leicester v Manchester City - League Cup Round 5

[Nottingham Fox]

Just checked and this game is sandwiched between Burnley at home and then QPR away.

Going to be a tough week for us!

If our game with Man City is televised then we'll be on TV for 3 consecutive games over an 8 day period.

... and then there'll be the replay as well.

Erm... yes. Yes there will.

Potential downsides of course are:

a. Our bastard club will charge a fortune for tickets
b. Their second eleven is better than most Premier League first teams
c. They could end up ripping us a new arsehole

If we are all prepared to understand and accept the above, then it's a wonderful draw

The result of "c" could be quite useful in many circumstances

I forgot:

d. If we get hammered, the PeeStaIn Out brigade will have something to cling on to

Happy as a pig on crack.

Toure won't know what hit him when big Wasi destroys him inside 5 minutes.

A great draw and what the cup should all be about.

I would guess they will play a second team which gives us hope or an upset. As with most ties of the ilk on 8 out of 10 occasions the Premier League team will win, but as the minnow in this tie we all pray to be the 2 other occasions.

Maybe we'll play our second team too....

Aren't ticket prices decided in liaison with them?

Surely no replay? ET and pennos for us? Kasper's heroics against his former club takes us through. It's our only chance I think!

Their two games prior to this fixture are Bayern Munich away on the Tuesday, followed by Arsenal at home on the Saturday

Going to be a very tough week for them
