Iborra for Iheanacho

Maybe retain the definitions of the scores (e.g., 6=average+, 7=good etc)?

Don't agree with the negative critiques of Mahrez vs Chelsea. I thought it was evident he was trying especially hard, even winning the ball back in the defensive end and creating some chances, including the only goal.

Just delved into that link. Last game vs. Birmingham (lost3-2) - Banks, King, Appleton, Gibson and Stringfellow were absent. If they won this last game it would have put them in 3rd.

Thanks for posting, davieG! I was too young to appreciate the new system LCFC were playing at that time, so it's good to see a detailed description of it. I do remember seeing a televised interview with Graham Cross in which he said winning the Cup was more important than the league to him - not sure exactly how long before the Final this happened though. I also remember that in their last league game a week before the final they fielded a much weakened side, along with a list of "injuries" to some key players. I suppose at that point the league title was out of reach.

Very clever and very funny!

Born in Leicester, and have supported "the lads" since 1963, when I was a boy. I was a die-hard supporter until about 1980 when I moved to USA, where I still am. During the 60s I was so keen I used to go to Reserve games when City were away, and even went to 3rd string games (forget what that level is called) on odd occasions when both City and Reserves were away. I re-connected strongly with the team this year with their promotion to the Premier League and consequent showing of games live on TV or streaming online in the USA. Back in the 60s and 70s, I used to stand in the "Popular Side" and later in the Kop, and some of those chants, including the not-so nice ones, still come to mind when watching games. "Oh, there won't be many going home... etc!!!" (when the visiting team had the audacity to be winning at Filbert St).

The lads did us proud today vs Burnley. What was Pearson's aim at the beginning of the season - to finish 3 spots above the relegation zone? Might still make that!

Expat living in CT. Great game today vs Swansea - the great escape is on!
