Lets not start on about Simpson.

Too late, some twat did...

Is Watson youth player?

Yes. He was signed from Wigan (I believe) and is playing in central midfield tonight.

I've given the chuckle brothers 5 mins and I can take no more. I'd rather watch the text commentary

Is Watson youth player?

He's 22. We signed him two years ago after Wigan decided not to offer him a new contract.

 

[Borderfox]

Radio Leicester not giving its usual ding dong commentary on the match, such a shame. Stringers expenses no doubt to blame.

Is he the bloke who has spent most of his time out on loan?

He's 22. We signed him two years ago after Wigan decided not to offer him a new contract.

Where's he been for 2 years?!

Where's he been for 2 years?!

Some dirty bastard has been tinkering with him.

 

[Jeff]

Where's he been for 2 years?!

He played for us in the League Cup against Shrewsbury last season. Then went on loan to Northampton and got a bad injury.

The atmosphere here isn't up to much and quite a few have gone to get a pie already

Hopefully the footy will improve second half

 

[Jeff]

Elder replaced Watson for the second half.

Goal for Mahrez

 

[camberwell fox]

Two goals or have you got goal tourettes?

 

[camberwell fox]

Boooooooo, cheat

I'm on holiday and relying on this excellent forum to keep me up to date with all news LCFC.

I have been wondering about some notable absences from pre season. Obviously Morgan is away with Jamaica but Ulloa, Schlupp and Mahrez have not had much game time.

I'm all for giving youth a shot but any reason these 1st team players have not been included? Mahrez did take a while to recover from the ACON tournament but we need these to be match sharp in only 2 weeks.

Ulloa, Schlupp and Mahrez have not had much game time.

They've had the same amount as everyone else.

 

[Jeff]

They've had the same amount as everyone else.

Not quite. But almost.
The only difference is the Mansfield game. They had 30 minutes and some of the other had 60. They've played as much as Huth, Wasilewski, King, Albrighton etc...

Goal for Nugent
