  1. If this third strip is true I can't believe the insensitivity given the tragic helicopter crash and subsequent horrific fire.
  2. Norwich, as an old friend supports them, then WBA for the local derby and they were very unlucky at our place recently. As everyone has said anyone but Leeds.
  3. I tried to get Alan Ball to sign my players' autograph album outside the old Filbert Street Player's entrance in April 1964. He had just scored twice for Blackpool in their 3-2 win over City. He refused and got straight on the team bus. Later that Summer we were on holiday in Torquay and, quite by chance, met his dad in a pub garden and started talking to him. He was very friendly so I told him about his son refusing to sign, whereupon he asked for our address and 2 weeks later a signed A4 size photo of Ball came in the post together with an apologetic message!
  4. I never thought we would ever win a Premier League title but I always believed we had a chance of winning the FA Cup. The cup was very glamorous in years gone by and, Leicester, as a city was usually swept up in cup fever, especially in the 60's. I can remember joining long early morning queues around Raw Dykes Road which snaked all the way to the turnstiles at Filbert Street to buy cup tickets. The cup draw was always at lunchtime live on the radio and, as kids at Anstey Martin School, we would crowd round a pocket size transistor to listen to the draw. The magic is not quite the same but try telling that to Maidstone fans today.
  5. I voted for the third option: 45-54pts so City are doing better than I expected. I thought January/early February, because of Afcon calls, might be a difficult period to get through and this has now been made worse by: injuries, loan recall and a suspension, limiting our midfield and attacking options and options off the bench. We will get through this but I'm slightly worried that we are not ruthlessly finishing teams off when we are on top like v Ipswich on Monday. They looked poor first half and I can see how Leeds hit four goals against them. I would also hope that we can raise the noise level at home games and that some fans stay until the final whistle. As the visiting fans chanted on Monday night "Is there a fire drill?" I felt a bit embarrassed.
  6. Disappointing that Enzo didn't bring Mcateer on or even try Daka, whose pace might have stretched the Leeds central defenders. They enjoyed an easy night with our build up play very ponderous and predictable. We are really missing Ndidi's ability to win the ball higher up in the opponents half. We are also crying out for a left footed defender now that Doyle is out injured.
