Yup, got some bad memories of Burnley games. I think the games against them and Plymouth during the 2004-08 era left the biggest scars. 0-0 or 0-1 guaranteed. Andy f**king Gray. The bloke was an absolute carthorse but seemed to score against us every time.

 

We owe them one at home, that's for certain.

Burnley / Plymouth / Millwall at home in the 0000s. Always a thoroughly depressing, miserable game vs poor opposition with a bit more nous than us, always 0-1 to them. Thank god we've left those years behind.

Have a feeling Gray will start in this

Well he's their number 1 striker so that's a pretty safe bet

You can have Mahrez or Gray on the pitch, but not both it would seem.

I noticed this too. I don't want to be labelled a fruitcake conspiracy theorist, but does anyone else reckon they're actually the same person?

....Didn't they both start the Hull game  not meaning to piss on anyone's strawberries.

Kasper's a doubt for tomorrow

Interesting you should mention the Hull match to 'debunk' an otherwise factual observation. And interesting you should also mention strawberries, the most triangular of fruit, because that's just the sort of argument the illuminati would make.

[UPinCarolina]

Zieler did make a post on Instagram that seemed to suggest he might have a role tomorrow.

This lot love upsetting the apple care at our place!

 

Weren't they the first visiting team to win there  great record at the KP if memorey serves, I think i've only seen us turn them over once at our place and that was over a decade ago. 

 

EDIT: having looked we have beat them a couple of times when we got play offs (including a 4-0 win I most certainly do not remember)  last game time I saw us beat them was 03. From then they went on a run of beating us 1-0 for every game for about six seasons  

You've done well to "see" any of the games let alone remember any.They were usually so dour sleep was the only sanctuary.

Although Burnley are no push overs, i feel Leicester's midweek champions league win will top up the confidence they have been lacking and see them over the line. My prediction 2-0 city

[Gerard]

I find it staggering how many people want to rest players. We play one mid week game all season and people think our first team are exhausted. Man City last season even played a virtual first team against Sunderland in the League Cup despite league and CL.

 

Ranieri will play the strongest side possible in his opinion. We can rest the first team against Chelsea in the League Cup on Tuesday.

 

If we play a weakened side against Burnley and don't win then we deserve all the criticism we get, embarrassing if we don't take them seriously and try and get away with the bare minimum. Too many Championship Manager players on here.

 

 

[Chico1958]

As this will be my first post apart from intrduction page.

 

This team beat Liverpool and were beating Hull 1-0 at Hull til a 95th minute Snodgrass free kick.

 

Play our best 11 then take off key players if the result ( a win ) looks in the bag. Simples

 

 

 

[lancyclaret]

After relegation two years ago, never thought we'd be ABOVE Leicester when we next played each other.

 

16th v 15th suggests a tight "six-pointer" but home advantage will be enough for the Foxes,,,,,1-0 or 2-0.

 

As Dyche said: "The market leaders operate at a different level to us because they have many shekels.":)

 

At least you can't get luckier than in April 2015...scoring 50 seconds after we missed a penalty!

Not been convinced by his kicking since his op

 

hasnt seemed able to really kick through it - like he doesn't trust something not to go in his groin.

 

zieler is more than capable of standing in 

 

note  that amartey did the official interview - noticed that the player who does this often doesn't start

I remember one particularly awful game against Rotherham at home, they were bottom and had some atrocious record I think they'd either lost all their away matches or hadn't won all season and had about 9 points. This was around christmas time. Yep you guessed it, 0-1 to Rotherham.

 

What made it worse was having to suffer the misery of listening to Jon Barber commentate on it all!

[Wymsey]

Sean Dyche may actually be fond of LCFC.

 

From the BBC:

 

"I was certainly one lauding Leicester last season for the right reasons and will continue to do so.

"What the manager has done is terrific but what the club has done there is terrific, in my opinion. I've looked at it from the outside-in for a number of years and I think the owners have done fantastic there.

"I know some of the work they've done off the pitch, in the training ground etc, etc and they seem to have been building things for a long time. I think they've done it really, really well."

 

No moans about finance power. Wow, a first from him.

You realise the season is only 4 games old? How is the league table relevant? Got to be joking!
