Went to Luton twice in the 70's. First time was the 0-4 FA Cup match including Weller goal of the century. Second time lost 3-0 including a Weller own goal from outside the box. Then got chased around a multi storey car park by the local mob. Happy days 

 

I went to that too.

 

If I remember correctly, Malcolm Allison described our performance that day as "better than Brazil".

 

 

That pitch

Luton away 1974 - even when Covid's a nasty memory,  it's unlikely we'll ever see this kind of thing again!

I got a last minute ticket via a mates dad and stood down the side near the tunnel amongst the home fans. I was a young teenager and kept my trap shut until that Weller goal when I jumped up and headbutted the Luton fan behind under the chin. I got dogs abuse and scarpered out at the final whistle to get in among a group of City fans outside for safety.

The next round at QPR was even better - 10,000 City fans on an open terrace.

 

The best away end I ever experienced.

Not much in the way of Health & Safety that day. Not sure we'd ever heard of it but it was a bit packed on that terrace. Remember not being able to get my arms above head height and hell of a crush when we scored. Had no idea who Joe Waters was. Oh yes for the youngster. 

 

Lost most of my money on the train on the way down having been introduced to Spoof.

I was there too. I remember not being able to get my arms free and being carried on a euphoric human wave. You just had to go with it. Pure joy. Great memories.

Villa have a decent squad of players. 

This indeed.

Aside from Watkins and Grealish, I rate Trezeguet and McGinn - the latter of whom I felt they missed massively during the second half of last season. Plus if they can hold onto Barkley they've got a proper midfield engine.

In fact, if they could bin off Elmohamedy, who remains one of the biggest melts in world football, I'd go as far as to call their squad "likeable".

It won't be a popular opinion on here due to his Forrest links but I've always liked Matty Cash as a player.

I saw that also but wasn’t in the away end. I was towards the halfway line but seem to remember lots of Leicester fans around us. Had a right drink afterwards 😁😁

And naturally the comments are full of whining about Liverpool’s injury crisis.

i still struggle with the concept that we are even in these conversations (even though I know we are there on merit) - this is Leicester after all.

 

everytime I think about i come back to the same thought...We do owe these owners so much. So many have contributed in so many ways, but ultimately it all comes back to the owners

He'd do well learning from Pep but he'd take Gundogan's role in the system and Gundogan has a few years left yet, maybe more than Pep has at City. 

 

United is an absolute shit show. Anyone recommending them to any player as a sensible career move right now is just proving that they don't watch the sport.

Yeah if Pep wants to spend 80m on a Gundogan replacement you're not going to get a better one than Tielemans.

Leaving Leicester for Man United is the equivalent of committing career suicide. I'm pretty sure Mahrez has never reached the level displayed in 15/16 since leaving us either. 

 

We're also on course to break the so called big 6 for the third time in six years. How many times do we need to embarrass these clubs before we are taken seriously?
