Slightly ancient ! City vs Man City in fifth round F A Cup at Filbert Street 1968.  Man City champions that season, Malcolm Allison the celebrity manager walking around the pitch prior to the game denoting with Five fingers how many goals they would score and then Man City going two up in the first twenty minutes. Rodney Fern scoring a cracking goal just before half time and we outplayed them in the second half to win 4 -3. Night match with 39000 in the ground fabulous atmosphere and probably my favourite game that I have attended. ( not at the Cup Final win or the Premier trophy award against Everton which were terrific )

 

I am ancient as well, as I was there and still stands out in my memory. Cant decide on this or the Seville game, both amazing

What a player we have, just a shame the club cant afford shorts that fit him, they look about 2 sizes too small

Where’s Branston gone?

Sorry, I ate it all, will get some more from the shop later

How about Mississippi by Pussycat, so easy to change the word to Leicester City. I am sure so someone could put new words to suit

Yeah that’s a shocker. Poor pass, beaten by the man and an aimless jog back rather than gambling there could be a rebound to deal with 

And now has been sent off

There was one incident in the second half that still baffles me (maybe I am old and laws have changed)

We had a free kick in the second half on the left wing, just outside their box, one of their players was standing nowhere near 10 wards away, we tried to pass the ball to one of our players to put in a cross, but their player, intercepted the ball and set up a spurs attack. Surely, if a defending player is less than 10 yards away and plays the ball, is it not that free kick is retaken? Or is it our fault for taking the kick insisting that their player moves away? Or maybe we just had a shit ref.

Are we seeing the Tielemans that the Monaco fans saw? They thought he wasn't good enough and wanted him out. He came here and was a revelation.

Is it as some have thought, that his head has been turned and thoughts are elsewhere. 

Yes, I would love it if he signed a new contract and got his form back, but we all know that wont happen

This would be such a negative signing

Genuinely can’t believe this. You honestly don’t think we can get a stronger defence than this one?

Justin… we have no idea how he’ll be when he returns

Ricardo… never been the same since the awful injury and gets injured tying his boot laces

Thomas… one for the future

Bertrand… forget it

Caglar… God knows what’s happened to him?

Evans… past his best and picks up too many niggling injuries

Amartey… meh

Little Wes… quality but again, we’ll have to assess him on his return 

Vestie… meh 

Castagne… good enough 

 

We gotta get a better quality of defence, especially at CB AND more strength in depth 

The defence this season has been dog shit 

I reckon that he has lost some of his love for the Foxes, due to us bringing in his best mate, Under, not playing him, then shipping him out. Brendan does seem to 'freeze' players out, if he did that with Cags best mate, it could have had an effect on his game.

Lets just hope that if someone has to be left out of the 25 man squad that is named in January, its Bertrand

Er... think you'll find that that was in 1969. I was also at that game, which we lost 2-3.

I was also at that game. I was also at Wembley for the 69 cup final.

Julian Joachim signs his name with little hearts where the dot of the i goes.

The dot of the i is called a tittle

I wonder if we could do a swap with West Brom with them taking Perez for Pereira

We’ve already done that. Slimani was a proper floppy. 

Maybe he hasn't seen the adverts for Numan

I would prefer that Chiesa fella. 

Can we add Pedri to the fantasy wish list as well

Very average player for 20 million

As opposed to Perez  very poor player for 30 million

Shite, just shite

Youri's goal in full. What a team move, and you see just how important he is to the team with several touches during the build up of the attack, as well as finishing it off.

 

Class act.

That is like watching Barcelona at their peak. 

I am as peed off as everyone else at not making any signings as we are bare in some parts of the team. I can see us struggling with the amount of games and injuries, and having to play players in positions that are not natural to them.

Maybe Brendan will have to resort to using some of the youth players. Surely there has to be an alternative to Perez or Nacho up front, and also in midfield. After all, it didnt work out too bad when he had to throw young Thomas into the mix. If we are that skint that we cant buy or loan players, it is time to blood some promising youngsters, we cant keep putting out the same team every game.

Seeing as Soyuncu cant get a game in defence, put him up top, didnt he start as a striker?
