All this moaning about it only being the West Stand for starters is ridiculous. With realistically,less than 10 days to put on a game and sell tickets for, opening up the whole stadium to start with would have been a disaster if ticket sales were poor like the poster above mentioned. This makes absolute sense. A lack of confidence in the fans to buy into the FA cup i know but makes business sense. It's all about contingency planning. I do think it should have been a tenner or max £12/13 similar to the league cup though but seriously, why moan as if your being forced to pay the money. If you don't want to fork out £15 to watch the game, don't. I guarantee this will reach at least 25K attendance in the end, we had full houses for Liverpool's reserves, Leeds and Man City in the Carabao and there's probably (hopefully) more chance of a few goals in this one.

I dont think he looks 100% fit, looking at him on Tuesday and in the last round as well, he looks a little over weight and not at full pace, take a look at him in the few appearances he made for Man City last season and you can see it. Ive no doubt he will come good though but only if he puts in the hard work and a little more effort when he gets chances. Npo doubt at some point this season Vardy wont be able to play through injuriy or bans so he needs to be ready. Also with the work rate - i think we have been spoilt by Vardy and Okazaki in recent years, 2 of the highest working players in the league so we will always hold our own players to a very high standard on this point.

Disappointed to lose on penalties but thats the nature of the beast. Felt like we were on top from 80 minutes through extra time but it wasn't to be. I personally have really enjoyed this little cup run of home games. Now on to the FA Cup!

I'm all for a stadium expansion; 1) because i'm one of the many that cant justify a ST but do like to go down to as many games as I can get to on Saturdays, would be great to be able to get 2 tickets together again and 2) It would be immense to see 45,000 leicester fans at a game, just imagine the atmosphere we could build up. However, football is so unpredictable and up and down, i'd hate for us to end up with a half empty stadium down in the Championship one day. I can't see it personally but I for one am proud of what we have at the moment, a well supported club and a full house every week.

Matty James is only 25 years old and lets be honest most midfield players peak between that age and 28/29. When him and Drinky used to play in the middle in the promotion season they were simply unplayable, I'd never seen a midfield two play together for us so comfortably than they did (before Drinky/Kante) and in my opinion they orchestrated most of our wins that season. Yes, he's had 2 years of hell but I think his performances for Barnsley in a poor side in a tough league, so far, prove that he can get back to the level he was at. I'll stick my neck out and say that I for one think he would make much more of an impact in the middle, right now, than Kingy (as much as i love him) or Amartey would if they were needed in that position for any reason.

to be fair - I've got a few mates that live in Burslem who are massive Stoke fans and they are well clued up on us. Been speaking to them a lot since we got promoted and they are aware of our danger men (Mahrez in particular). You cant go by a few comments on Oatcake. p.s.I had a bacon oatcake when I last went up there for a night out - weird - why not just have a nice white cob?
