at anyone giving a shit about the Bochum display. 

 

It was blue and white and added a bit of extra colour to the start of the game.

 

Better than nothing, right. 

I get what you're saying and i've not really had an opinion on this but when I saw the display it made me cringe a little and i'm not sure why. It's nice (i think) that some of the Bochum fans want to visit our ground and see our games and vice versa but its a small group of fans. The display made it look like it was a club-wide thing and felt a little weird.

oh dear.....the "toys out of the pram brigade" are out in full force...."MAHREZ YOU cvnt, i hate you, i think your shiite, you've always been crap WEHHH WEHHH WEHHHH"

 

The guy has been talking about a move for his career for a couple of years now, he wants to move, obviously he doesn't really care how much money is transferred, he just wants to fulfil what he thinks his potential is and fair play to him. Its a situation of rock and hard place for both Leicester and Mahrez, some here just need to grow up. He was always going to go, and he was always going to do all he can to make the "move of his dreams" - accept it!

Yea I doubt he cares about the money at all, please listen, it's all about his career guys!

Won't somebody please think about his career!!

No Diabate...No Partay!

I've never shed a tear for any Leicester player leaving (came close when Muzzy left) but you need to know that to me you have been the most amazing inspiration for me personally my family and our football club.

 

My son, 5 years old who doesn't live in Leicester is indoctrinated everyday to support the local team Newcastle,  the city he was born. It's a challenge to get him to be a Leicester fan with all the peer pressure if it wasn't for you.  He's watched you from a young age - some of his first words "daddy who's that good guy in blue?" Now he wears your shirt with pride and plays for "the rest of the world" on the play ground at school. He asked me after your goal against Watford "Daddy, why were the defenders not trying when Mahrez scored? " which sums you up in a nutshell. 

 

The thing is, I would never let my son support a player who wasn't a decent human being too. You've been nothing but pure class, a man that I hope my son grows up to be like.  

 

If you read this, we know that you're destined to reach the very top. I'm just going to find it it extremely difficult to sit my son down and tell him you've left. 

 

 

 

 

Collymore - if you or any of your people read this reply,

I've never shed a tear for any thread on Foxestalk (came close with the Kermorgant thread through laughter) but you need to know that to me this thread has been the inspiration for me personally to get out of the house a bit more and get some fresh air.

Looking for 2 tickets to the West Brom away game if anyone will have any and won’t be able to attend? Will be eternally grateful 

As its on my walk, always like to have a few in Nine Bar, then the Western and on to the ground.

I can hardly believe it but looks like it's genuine Gazza!! And he wants to meet the lads  Probably my favourite non-Leicester English player ever

I thought he was taking the p**s

With the news of Okazaki being likely to be offered a new contract, we're big in Japan tonight

I think people who live in Leicester should get extra loyalty points for staying local

I think that negates the argument you're trying to put over. 

You think the ticket prices are too high and yet you still think we'll get 25k.

So in effect you think they should have opened up the whole stadium. Saying people shouldn't go also implies that you think it's been handled incorrectly which suggests that more would go if the ticket prices were more in keeping with the status  of the game.

Hardly negates my argument. My personal opinion is I think they are too high but that doesnt mean I wont go.

I think we will get a good turnout here, however, the club can't guarantee that and it makes complete business sense for them to be cautious and initially just open the West Stand. Like a previous poster said, if we opened the whole stadium and only sold 15K, the club would be paying for stewards and kiosk staff around the whole ground when it could be concentrated within a smaller area BUT having said that, I do think it will eventually open up to all stands (my opinion) but it makes business sense to do it in this fashion.

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?
