Those talking about how cold it will be tonight, reminds me of how cold it was in Copenhagen last year....I was absolutely freezing to death! And the cold seem to get to the players as well, since they never really got going in that game (except for Kasper). I hope it doesn't have the same effect tonight.

Is Shakespeare the right man for the job?

Can we wait that long? But in principle I'd have RK in to replace Shakey. -

ultrafox replied to Ian Nacho's topic in Leicester City Forum
So in his after match interview Shakey said he was pleased with the 'Spirit and Resilience' the team showed to score a deserved equaliser! ??????? The man is deluded. 'Spirit and Resilience' ? 'Spirit and Resilience' !!!? ???? What planet is the man on? There was a bit of desperation at the end, which was all too little too late as usual. WBA were the weakest side we've played this season. It's not as if we came away with a draw against Man U. 'Spirit and Resilience'!!! HA! We would really struggle in the Championship with that kind of 'Spirit and Resilience' . -

Nope. Shakey has to go. Awful performance today. No gameplan. No ambition. No hunger. -

Craig Shakepseare is a great football coach and could be a great football manager. But he needs to be managing a championship side, and fight to win promotion with them (although that might be us at this rate). The Premier League should not just be about surviving. It should be about winning trophies and competing in Europe. Right now....that's out of Shakeys depth! That's the reality!. The more I think about it...we need someone like Ancelotti at the helm. Or we might as well just be relegated now! To the tune of that great Italian song ' O Sole Mio'.... "It's Now or Never! -

We were thinking the same thing at the same time. -

If we have a disaster at Bournemouth....then Shakey needs to go. Simply as that. We have the players.....but we are not getting the best out of them. Bring in Ancelotti I say! ...and maybe we'll see Andrea Bocelli sing again at the KP! -

You could be forgiven for believing that, after his first game in charge against Liverpool at home last Feb. One of Leicester's best display of football I have ever seen. What really gets to me at the moment is that (bar Drinky) we have more or less the same squad...if not better (on paper). ...and when I hear Vards and Kingy say they left everything on the pitch last Saturday i think..."oh yeah? compare yourselves to the team that tore Liverpool apart last season after Ranieri was sacked" Where's that team?? (I was watching the highlights of that match the other day. It seems like light years away, and yet it was only last Feb) Is Shakey to blame for what I would see as complacency creeping into the team ? imo... I'm afraid so! If we lose to Huddersfield I think Shakey may be following De Boer as the next to lose his job in the PL!. -
Does being half Irish count? Though I now live in Luxembourg (but born and raised in Leicester) , I have family in Derry and Dublin and regularly visit Dublin. Talking Irish, I always wonder who draps the Irish flag in the front of West Stand section B3 at every home game, and why? It's not as if we have Irish players in the squad at the moment. Or is it just to support our chief exec , Susan Whelan?

He's magic...you knoooow Kelechi Iheanacho!

You've got it right. Jeunesse Esch (without d') are one of the big teams in Lux, but I'm not sure we can used the word "Powerhouse" in Luxembourg. (Esch, the second city in Lux, has always had a large Italian community, and Esch are kitted out like Juventus as a result). I did a little research to see exactly were Progres Niederkorn were in the Luxembourg teams pecking order (historically speaking). Their 4th place last year was a one off, and not the norm. I reckon they would make the top 10.. but only just! Maybe normally 9th or 10th best team in Lux. It can't be overstated how bad a result this is for Rangers!
-
Yes...we're loving it here in Luxembourg.... ..and even though they say Niederkorn are the 4th best team in Lux...thats just last season. They are not usually considered as a top 10 team here. Back in 2000 Martin O'Neill managed his first competitive game for Celtic here after leaving Leicester...against Jeunesse Esch in a CL qualifying round.. A top Lux club. Celtic won 7 -0.

It's a close call between Shilton and Schmiechel. Shilton was very much my hero when I was a lad...and I met him a few times as such. But I'll have to say Schmiechel is the best keeper we've ever had, as he has so much to do with our Premier League and Champions League successes. We've been blessed with some really great keepers (Wallington, Keller, Banks ) but I would like to give Marton Fülöp a special mention. Even though he was only on loan and we tried so hard to sign him (he wanted to come to Leicester permanently), while he was with us he was arguably the best player we had in the team in 2007. (I would go so far as to say he was better in his 24 games for us, than Schmiechel was in his first 24 games for us. ). Rest in peace Marton!

It took mine an hour ago. I'm still not sure I've done the right thing. I knew as a gold member i would get a ticket for most matches, and so , as I live outside of the UK it was easy to pick and choose. Now it's down to a ballot. My 15 year son who is also a member has less loyality points than me, so I'm not sure how it will work out. I suppose time will tell. Frankly, I don't think the scheme needed changing.

Just saw this on BBC Sportsday - Premier League reaction and gossip - http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/39787059 When the game stopped QPR v Leicester in Championship 3 years ago. QPR top of league and all over an average Leicester. Squirrel came on and stopped play for 10 minutes, disrupted QPR rhythm and Leicester went onto win 0-1 with a Vardy goal, then won 13 games on the trot getting them promoted to the Premiership eventually. No one ever thanked the squirrel for Leicester's success. (Jeremy, London) So I'll say it. Thank you Squirrel !!

Another variation?...a little more generic... we're on our way, we're on on our way to the Champions League, we're on our way how do we get there, not a clue just follow the boys in royal blue and pack your bags coz Leicester's on their way

I thought the tune was Sloop John B.

The price is going up! Obviously owing to supply and demand. It was 14.99 a few days ago. Now it's 24.99.

Cool. Just ordered. Thanks for the heads up!

only 11,000 bottles? I've got a feeling they'll be snapped up in a day or so. I don't know why it has to be such a 'limited' edition.
