Pre Match Tottenham v Leicester

[Rock Fox]

Post Sunday lunch indigestion won't be the only pain we'll feel that afternoon.

Only over 2.5 goals seems too conservative.

I'd expect at least 5 goals in the game.

Yep, over 4.5 goals for me.

Hat trick for a Spurs player too, most likely Son.

I didn't realise Spurs had a number of injuries. Not that it'll matter. Son could play on crutches and still score.

I could score against these ****s from a coma

Look guys, I’ll have to watch in Tenerife in a hotel with Man Utd, Arsenal and Spurs fans I’ll be the only one in a Leicester shirt but I’ve a feeling for this game, fancy coming back with a point. COYB

Great to watch that game.
Earlier today, I read about that actual game on The Fosse Way and it was good to see the highlights here Blaarev.

Oh how much football has changed (not all for the better).
Ok, its 50 years old, that game (!!!!!) but I know who has the ball - not because of the number on the shirt, but because I recognise the player.

It was a turning point that season, wasn’t it? A mini great escape season. Also the season of that Leatherhead game.

Interesting article, especially the bit about John Margerrison. I played against him for my school, he went to one of the other schools in the same town. Even at 12-13 years old he had big reputation in the area, he played at centre back when I played against him if I remember correctly. Got his age wrong though, he was in the same year as me and I'm under 70.

Our stats packs are getting more depressing every week. Jakub now landed with a record.

Poor bloke is a pretty decent keeper as well.
