I watched the Hartlepool match with him holding my hand and rubbing my inner thigh and whispering sweet nothings in my ear, he aint much of looker as i'm sure you know.....:icon_wink:icon_lol:
more that fact im better looking than you bocyshortpants :icon_wink
Good grief - you've been eating those mushrooms again, haven't you?
Right flight is booked (only 20 quid!) i'm gonna come over and venture into league one. i take it tickets r pretty much available until ko, anyone know?
We should really thrash this lot, they let a 2 goal lead slip yesterday to the monkey hangers so i feel a rout is on the cards, as long as we dont play dj

Finding out for you now :icon_wink
Tunchev didn't play at the weekend.
Adams and Gradel are both playing well and Gradel deserves a chance from the start (adams has had a hard few weeks)
That said, with a busy schedule coming up, I expect Pearson to rest players as required when we have viable options in reserve.
We have no other centre mids whilst Clemence is dead, and even then theres only 3 in the entire squad, one of which is a teenager.
Then up front we have Dickov injured, and no one else, DJ doesn't count.
Hence why I was shocked to see Weso go out on loan to Cheltenham. They are raving about him and want to sign him permanently.
Don't forget, we do have the mighty Barry Hayles!
The problem is I don't think we have viable options in reserve in any other position than defence.

Theres Adams, Gradel and Dyer, that's it for wingers, apart from Porter (if he hasn't been loaned to Cheltenham yet)

So assuming we aren't suddenly gonna chuck in a whole team of teenagers, we actually have no squad depth.
Head To Head: Walsall
Posted on: Mon 20 Oct 2008
HEAD TO HEAD
The two clubs have met just 17 times previously, with 16 of those clashes coming when league points were at stake. Here in Leicester, City have won 7 and drawn 1 of the 8 previous clashes. At the Walkers Stadium, the Foxes won the only previous encounter, in November 2002.
EARLY MEETINGS
The first ever meetings came in Fosse's inaugural Football League season of 1894-95. That campaign saw Fosse complete the double over Walsall Town Swifts, the first time we had recorded that particular feat in the league.
RECENT HISTORY
The last time that the clubs faced each other was in the 2002-03 campaign. The last meeting at the Walkers Stadium ended in a 2-0 win for the Foxes, thanks to strikes from Matt Heath and James Scowcroft. City went on to complete another double that season, also winning 4-1 at the Bescot Stadium in February 2003, when Paul Dickov was among the scorers.
BIGGEST WINS
Easily the biggest win of the series was the one that gave Fosse their first ever double, in January 1895, when Filbert Street witnessed a 9-1 rout. :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:
SEQUENCES
The Foxes have won each of the last four meetings overall, and each of the last five league meetings. Walsall last tasted victory in the F A Cup in 1978, but have not beaten us in the league since November 1900.
MARKSMEN
Oddly, there were no hat-tricks for Fosse in that 9-1 win, but Tommy brown did manage one in a 5-0 Filbert Street win in March 1901 to make him the leading overall scorer in the series with just four strikes.
DEBUTANTS
Just four players have made their Leicester debuts against Walsall, with the only one in modern times being Gary Mills in March 1989.
FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS
The list of players to have represented both clubs over the years includes Trevor Benjamin, Mark Blake, Ally Brown, Trevor Christie, Steve Claridge, Allan Clarke, Wayne Clarke, Steve Corica, Nicky Cross, Peter Eastoe, Matty Fryatt, Gary Ford, Colin Gibson, Mark Goodwin, Colin Gordon, Kevin Harper, Julian Joachim, David Kelly, Jamie Lawrence, Kevin MacDonald, George Meek, Stefan Moore, Stef Oakes, Howard Riley, Mark Robins, Mark Wallington, Gavin Ward, Gordon Wills and Tommy Wright.
