Yes you’ve handled it very well Peaky and I totally agree with you ...   personally if someone insulted the little man like that ..  an excellent player and a humble honest servant of our club ...   I’d tell him to  ...  off ! ....   

Well, it's a fine line - I don't want to harass the guy, and I also don't want another restriction for standing my ground. Personally, I think it would be a good idea if Deano were to meet Papy and Fuchs, and explain to them how embarrassing they were.

Every single time Mendy is on the pitch , we are a poorer team and more likely to drop points and get run over. Nothing will change that and the sooner we get a better back up for Wilf the better.

Breaking news, team without their best player is worse when he isn't playing!

So negligible in every sense!

We can go second tomorrow. Big opportunity. Let's make it count

Just reading some of the stuff from Bielsa's press conference and he really does talk some proper crap. You've got to feel sorry for his translator - to be fair he looks more than impressed in the image taken at this presser..!

A lot of crap that doesn't really answer any of the questions.

I’m bored of this conversation now. I just lost the post I was writing that took me 15 mins so I can’t be bothered to re write it.

 

End of the day it’s just opinions. Im not bothered what anyone thinks when I see something, as you should all not if you disagree with my opinion on Mendy. It seems my opinion get people worked up, because I don’t go along with the easier option or I’ve hit a raw nerve by being able to back my opinions up and show up the truth.

 

Every single time Mendy is on the pitch , we are a poorer team and more likely to drop points and get run over. Nothing will change that and the sooner we get a better back up for Wilf the better.

 

Now I’m not going to say anything more on the matter because we’re going round in circles.

That's good cos quite frankly you're talking out your a**e

[Foxxed]

Oh good. A conversation about Mendy.

On level games as well. Must win!

[SixtiesFox]

The importance of tomorrow's game cannot be understated. A win will keep us well and truly in the title race despite Man City's ominous run of form. However, of greater significance in my view, is that a win would put some real daylight between us and those clubs aspiring to take our place in the top 4. Our recent performances have further underlined our claim to a seat at the top table of English football but consistency will be key to making that place our own. If we can beat a dangerous Leeds side, capable of getting a result against anyone if things go their way, we really can begin to believe that this year we will achieve what we so narrowly missed out on last year.

 

What a privilege it is to have been born a Leicester fan, as the club my family has supported through four generations in three different centuries continues to defy the odds by gatecrashing one of the most exclusive clubs in world sport! Pinch yourselves lads and lassies!

[Simonb]

Bielsa will do his usual trick of spending the whole week studying our every move in depth, yet start the same team, formation and tactics as he does every game

 

Only slight worry I have with vardy being out is they were scared to death of him in the reverse game.. From the offer they were panicking and error strewn around him... That being said, I think we'll be 3 up by half time. 

[kiwiturk]

It is all about intention for me and I'm super happy that how every single player of ours putting their heart and soul into each games this includes Mendy as well.

You can have a bad day or make a few mistakes during the game but the group of players we have at the moment, giving everything and approaching to every single game with the right attitude. That's important to me.

BTW, I don't think the Leeds game would be walking in the park as I'm concerned that we may suffer another Fulham disaster if we won't take the necessary precautions.

Sh1t ... I forgot we dicked these with a back 5 of ... sharkey, JJ, Lil Wes, Fuchs and Thomas. Absolutely crazy.

4 generations in 3 centuries?

2000's,

1900's and

1800's?

 

You do know we were founded in 1884 right? My grandparents which is 3 generations weren't even born in 1900, did they have kids really late in your family?

He means 19th century, 20th century and 21st century.

Judging by the state of this the match thread should be a fun one today 

[Stuntman_Mike]

 

I'd settle for something like this today.

 

[Ian Nacho]

Always hate playing these. 

[Spudulike]

Just a reminder that it kicks off at 2pm but if anyone wants to watch an hours pre-match chat about Liverpool's injuries or Fernandez at ManU or anything else they can find an angle on involving their favourites then tune in at 1pm.

[rachhere]

Gives me some hope of Cengo starting 

[ARM1968]

Is it too late to say I think Mendy is quality? Lucky to still have the little fellow. Yes he isn’t the beast that Ndidi is, but I’d imagine a lot of teams would take him on the form he’s shown this season. 
 

As we cannot clone Ndidi, are unlikely to entice back Kante before the end of the transfer window and are dealing with injuries, it’s probably best to get behind Mendy and stop fuching whinging on.

Thanks, I thought it was 2.30 for some reason. Great British Garden Birdwatch shifted forward half an hour in that case!

Why? We've always had a great record vs Leeds.

 

They always used to consider us their bogey team.
