Leicester vs Fleetwood (FA Cup replay) match thread
egg_fried_rice replied to MC Prussian's topic in Leicester City Forum
Absolute snorefest. Benny a bombscare. Needs binning off asap. Expect more from our midfield in terms of creating chances. what's the point in knocking it around at the back? Nach looked awful coming short, but then a fantastic touch and finish for his goal. Think we need to see him play on the last shoulder to see him at his best. Up the intensity a bit and pass the ball forwards a bit more and we should walk this. -
https://hdmatches.com/2018/01/13/chelsea-vs-leicester-full-match-highlights-13-january-2018/#3 Click the 'second half' tab, select the second video down, and skip to 26.17. I think that's the bit being referred to here. Truly excellent skill, but I wouldn't call it other-worldly
-
Everything excellent other than the finishing. Probably gonna live to regret that, but it's really enjoyable to watch nonetheless! Fingers crossed we can maintain it.

That's the midfield three I'd go with every week if I was Conte, with Fabregas further forward. Can't believe how poor Bakayoko looks - a shadow of the player he was in last year's CL.

The best by a mile. Wish she did all of their coverage - head and shoulders above the generic sky-bots.

What Game Are You Playing At The Moment ?
egg_fried_rice replied to LeicesterBran's topic in Music and Gaming
Tried to play Red Dead Redemption on PS Now last night - absolute horseshit. The service that is, not the game. So laggy, and the resolution is poor. This can't be a popular service for Sony can it? Seems like they've dropped a bollock a bit in not making the PS4 backwards compatible, and cobbled together this piss-poor alternative. I'd rather pay the monthly subscription fee for a one off download. -

Thanks for all the input. Got a few of these already, but look forward to trying the others. Chances of me getting any sort of housework done this year are slim to none -

Of course! Added to the list -
1 week. I think I only really need 2 days for Reykjavik, so other than the 'obvious' highlights, I'm not yet sure what else to fill my time with. I've got a guidebook arriving today so hopefully that will provide some inspiration. I'll be taking my DSLR so I can ponce about taking some wanky photos - fingers crossed I'll see some of the northern lights. I do enjoy a bit of a hike, but a bit worried it might be too cold as I've not got any specialist winter gear.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was watching a Rick Stein show (don't judge) and he went to one of the less popular springs which I think I'll seek out. Looking forward to trying some ludicrous cuisine while I'm out there too. Have been looking at hostels as I'm going on me tod and might be nice to meet some folk, but I think I'm getting too old for that these days.

Got a trip to Iceland for a week next month. Booked **** all other than the flights so far. Any tips on bits not to miss and decent (and not eye-wateringly expensive) places to stay? If I rent a car, will the roads be passable outside Reykjavik this time of year?

After not owning a console for years, I bought a PS4 Pro just before xmas and have been spunking my wad on games ever since in an attempt to catch up on the past 10 years or so of gaming. Enjoying the daft but entertaining Uncharted trilogy, really like the design, feel, and difficulty of Bloodborne, and the Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection arrived today. Got the latest CoD but it's not my thing really, probably because I'm a bit shite at it. My question is, are there any key titles that have come out over the last few years that I should look at picking up? I'm talking PS3 onwards really, as I've not owned a console since the PS2 (!) - games which were genre defining, or just real good fun. Not arsed about the latest graphics - much prefer a good story or original design. -

Much improved second half and comfortable win in the end. Additional positives of Slim scoring, James not getting crocked, and Silva debuting. Let's hope this sets the tone for 2018! -
Looking half asleep again. Wakey wakey Leicester!

Player of the First Half of the Season
egg_fried_rice replied to Sampson's topic in Leicester City Forum
A tough call, Shinji closely followed by Mahrez for me. But can't argue with the choices others have made either. -
Some of the self aggrandising pats on the backs here are laughable. Do you really care if your opinions on a player are seen by others as 'right' or 'wrong'? I think it's fair to say Amartey is a limited footballer who tries hard and made terrible decisions in this evening's game. He's certainly not the best player to pull on the shirt, but he's not the worst either. I don't understand some people's need to form such a black and white view on our players.
-
Absolute scenes at the end there. Deserved point just for the heart we showed. Amartey you berk
-
The guy is clearly a talented footballer, but I'm not yet convinced by him defensively. Can plant his feet at times and gets caught out of position. Think he'd be better in a three, but is a good age and still has bags of potential to improve further.
