In fairness, this is not just an LCFC issue these days. Feels like football's just become a vast vehicle for confected grief.

Try enjoying yourself beforehand. If you're waiting for us to be in the lead before you have a good time, then you're going to end up wasting a lot of your Saturdays.

Freaks singing his name at Leicester station. Freaks singing his name at Derby station. He's not even their fvcking manager.

What should they have sung then?

There's always one who draws a map or starts noting down as-the-crow-flies distances between cities. God, why are they so fvcking weird?

Often wondered what my old Prostars figurines might be worth. Probably bollock-all as I've got two of Matt Le Tissier.

Reading that has ruined my Day of the Macedonian Revolutionary Struggle [citation needed]. Hope you're happy.

Em is going to do a great job. Really glad she's on.

Braybrooke Keller Lager in the Beerhouse, Mahkidahbrah.

Yeah, was chocka outside too.

Yeah, good winter warmer.

Smacks of "We're not showing the Wendyball" during major tournaments.

Charnwood Black Fox stout at The Fox Cub, Barrow, at lunchtime. Looked rammo in the main room when I left work.

Stokes trying to launch his bat into Iran. Sums it up.

Some dreadful shots this morning. Why make things harder for yourself when you're up against it?

Mad to think when many German fans still refuse to go away to Red Bull Leipzig with whichever club they support.

Blimey, be a lively day in N'ampton then.

Reverse-sweeping the last ball of the day in those circumstances is

No. Bottlejobs.

Which end are people in this thread going in if your non-league team made it far enough to be drawn away at Leicester?

An Elgood's Cambridge bitter with my roast yesterday. Hoppy enough to dance on the tongue, felt very East Anglian in flavour. Must get over that way again sometime. Rate Cambridge if you can avoid all the Hooray Henrys.

Couple of Old Originals at lunch. Now enjoying a Hannen Alt, which might be the closest German beer to an English ale going.

Bloody hell. Never thought I'd see the day for Harborough. Absolutely mad.

Genuinely felt less safe in Bath than I ever have walking around Leicester city centre. My missus would say the same thing.
