LCFC 3-2 Millwall - FA Cup - Post Match Thread
orangecity23 replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'm not sure the percentage of overall goals conceded from set pieces is the most useful stat - a team with a very good record from open play is always going to have a greater proportion of goals against being set pieces. The most useful measure of set piece defending would be number of set pieces faced Vs goals conceded from set pieces. I would expect that would still be bad, mind. -
Millwall (A) - FA Cup - Match Thread
orangecity23 replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Catching up on the goals at half time - the state of this Millwall loving commentator. Honeyman's "great ball" intercepted and Millwall end up 2-0 down. I don't think it's that great if your pass is quickly followed by it ending up in your own net -
They actually bidding this time, or just phoning up Calcio Mercato for a chinwag before doing feck all again?

Young Vardy meets current Vardy and the resulting paradox tears apart the very fabric of time and space itself.

Offside is from when the ball is played - when Wilf pokes it forward, there are 2 players (keeper and defender) closer to goal than Daka. Well onside.- 217 replies

Birmingham City (A) 2-3 Leicester - Post-Match Thread

Have it. Successfully roasted the Potato and his baseball cap in his cup final. -
Town centre will be saved as soon as we spend 20 million plus rotating the door if the train station 90 degrees. Finally we can all go to the train station and errr... buy coffee. Trains won't be any better, but the door will be moved. Fantastic! Well worth digging up that area again, after the work to halve the front drop off area, the super crossing, the cycle lane etc etc.

He looks like a "spot the ball" picture of someone clearing a corner.

Lets mug them off like we did with Schlupp during the great escape season. Say he's injured when they pick the squad and then he recovers as soon as the flight leaves. Bring back big Nige as the club's "International duty FA liason officer" to make sure there aren't any countries brave enough to question it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2921959/Leicester-City-boss-Nigel-Pearson-does-not-expect-backlash-Ghana-Jeff-Sclupp.html

Danny Drinkwater had to move to Chelsea, and spend all his big 6 bunce down Harley Street to achieve a minor hairline improvement, whereas Paul Konchesky just went away on holiday in the summer in the Championship looking like a boiled egg and rocked in pre-season looking like a Hairy Lazarus. Probably got stopped at the passport gates for looking feck all like his photo, then spent 2 hours trying to convince sceptical HMRC bods that he was indeed a former England International, but suddenly had all his hair back again. Shows what can be achieved with a bit of willpower

Maybe don't be so harsh on yourself, there can be natural rational reasons for being a bit down this time of year - lack of sunlight, cold weather, just being a bit burnt out from not having a break from work for a few months. I don't think it's a coincidence that so many different festivals from different cultures like Christmas and others happen at this time of year - because people found they needed something to help them get through a winter.

Is this why there were no Aldi Chocolate Hobnobs in Lutterworth when I went there yesterday? You've seized the Whittle roundabout and declared it sovereign? You'll never get that trade deal with Magna Park you know.

He doesn't have many opinions on football, but his lyrics make it quite clear he thinks Steve Bruce will "bring me down" - must have watched a great deal of Mike Ashley era Newcastle.

Great point this. This league was never going to be a cakewalk, it's full to the brim with salty teams who are jealous of our last decade, salty fans and salty old duffer players who used to be in the prem, or around it and have sunk to the depths looking to rekindle former "glories" at our expense. The last couple of weeks has been full of these types, having to remember that Jake Livermore, Barry Bannan, Tom Ince, Matt Phillips and most of all Jeff flipping Hendrick still exist. Disgusting. This is why we can't turn our nose up at any win, this league is a purgatory for the Sean Dyche reject players of the world, where former Prem clubs go to slowly bankrupt themselves over seasons as hope steadily drains out of what was once an upwardly mobile club until nothing but a drab husk (Stoke) is left. We need to scratch and claw our way out of this miserable pit of shite and then try to put this horrible relegation behind us, and if it takes shithousing the odd 1 goal victory away from home every now and again to do it so be it.

On the Sky commentary they went on quite a bit about Corberan being ill this week. So it's most likely he's said "don't shake my hand, I'm ill!" then cleared off before he infects anyone else.

HURR DURR DURR WHY CAN'T WE BE MORE LIKE IPSWICH AND LOSE TO WBA, INSTEAD OF PLAYING SHIT BORING FOOTBALL WHERE YOU WIN IN STOPPAGE TIME

No graphics and no replays - oh no, how will we cope without replays showing while the ball is actually in play and other stuff is happening.

Their Chairman probably wants someone else to pay the cost of giving them a free hot chocolate at half time.
