Congratulation to Susan Whelan for being brilliant as a woman. So many don't make the grade, there should be national league tables or something. I blame Thatcher.

Oy!!

 

[Blaarev]

Oy!!

You didn't read the piece in the link?

 

[Mawsley]

Oy!!

"Of course, I apologise to the people of Leicester and to the chief executive Susan Whelan who is a brilliant woman."

I missed the element of sarcasm. I blame Mawsley for not including emoticons. This never would have happened with emoticons.

Are you being sarcastic now? I can't tell without emoticons.

Nobody needs emoticons - except Steven.

 

[bocadillo]

Nobody needs Steven.

There - fixed it for you.

I get that American posters could look at this as a rare opportunity to see the team in the flesh, but I'm puzzled as to why anyone else would be excited. It may be called the 'International Champions' Cup' but it's a pre-season friendly tournament that involves loads of travelling. We'll likely be going to Thailand too. I'm concerned that all this will lead to us starting next season already jaded from an overly strenuous pre-season - I'm certain that such observations have been made about other clubs who use their pre-season to maximise global commercial opportunities, and most of them tend to have larger squads than us. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like perfect preparation for midweek Champions League games if you ask me.

Did not seem to bother Wes Morgan who had just one week off between seasons last year and was playing non-stop the rest of the time.

We'll just need to up the drugs levels

Barça tickets on sale: http://www.friendsarena.se/evenemang/fc-barcelona-leicester-city-fc/?lang=en#Tickets

Less than £40 for the cheapest tickets ain't too bad.

Less than £40 for the cheapest tickets ain't too bad.

Seems like they are all in the corner at the Barca end though. If you want to be in the Leicester end, it's 595 SEK which I found a bit pricey.

 

[Fox Fan]

It looks like this tournament was shown live on Sky last year - let's hope for the same again.

£40 for a friendly

That's one way of looking at it. Of course the other way is that this is an ideal chance to test our credentials against the cream of the crop that we might wind up facing in the Champions League without having to worry about the result. It might take a bit extra out of the squad but ultimately that's something we will have to get used to if we hope to have continued success.....
