I shan't. I've conditioned him since he was capable of processing words about Leicester and he's grown very fond of us from afar. He will watch games on TV with me with growing interest and excitement. He was going nuts at Daka's 3rd and 4th goal last week and the cup final was just amazing. 

 

Hoping this Saturday cements his passion and can get him down there more and more. 

It's brilliant and he'll keep your enthusiasm going as you get older. City was the glue that kept my Dad and I together.

Can’t stand Arsenal fans just win 

From that quote, close this thread we are done here.

Please can we have one of those games where we take the lead and its game over for the opposition. Total control and a further 2nd and maybe 3rd and shut it down with a clean sheet. 

[Stevosevic]

If we can win the next two we'd be in great shape.

Add a fourth for good measure

[Nalis]

Arsenal are improving as the season goes on and we might have an eye on the Spartak game.

 

2-2

No. That's not how we roll. When we lose it's painful. When we win it's almost as painful. Except about twice a season. But though the pain comes the euphoria. Or something like that.

Taking our 3 month old to a wedding that starts at 12 on Saturday, so hoping she starts to scream the place down just in time for kick off and I 'need to take her for a walk'.....

They're a confident bunch considering how often their team let's them down. Other than Saka I can't think of a player that gets in our side. Maybe Tierney?

They’ve kept 10 clean sheets in their last 20 matches, compared to our four. Foxestalk is an odd place, I was shot down for saying we should be beating Brentford, and yet this thread is pretty optimistic about our chances against Arsenal…

I think we'll bury these with the same team that beat Man United and Brentford. It's getting more difficult to pick between Vardy, Inehacho and Daka though.

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

First goal is massive in this one, if we get it, I think we run out comfortable winners. 

 

Press them like we did against United & hopefully the crowd get on top of their inexperienced side like we did to Maguire. 

 

Tierney and White are doubtful (I believe) so realistically we could be looking at a back 4 of Tomiyasu, Chambers, Gabriel, Tavares which we should be getting at all day long!

Watched them last week and that Tomiyasu has got a hospital pass in him. Vardy against any of those other three is a lovely prospect.

It’s important that we don’t underestimate these. I know we all think Arteta is pony (and he probably is) but they’re showing signs that they can have a go. Aubameyang has also discovered some form again too. 

[Guest Danny Clender]

A great example of how quickly things change. Barnes now looking like he’ll only be able to make an impact from the bench, perhaps even after Daka, Perez and Lookman. 
Where were we again 3 weeks ago?

 

I wonder if JJ will be on the bench?

 

I can see us using so many football cliches for this game.

[Jobyfox]

I think the team probably picks itself after the Man Utd game. Ultimately I’d like eventually to go back to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, but on form and personnel available let’s stick with what worked.

 

Arsenal could still be very dangerous despite not being the Arsenal of old. As usual I hope for a win, but wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t

I think this will be a really good game for the neutral.

 

I'd put all three outcomes at similar odds.

 

  fivethirtyeight isn't far off your judgment ...

That's not happening with this defense sorry.

 

Just sit back and enjoy the rollcoster ride that is Leicester City.

[Vardinio'sCat]

Let's hope Cags is not on his period again...

 

Tbf, I think it is becoming obvious that Turkey have managed to proper damage him, hopefully Johnny will be settling him down as we go. Younger players and consistency eh, it's probably the most frustrating thing about our model.

That Tavares looked very good and quick v Villa, Gabriel is decent and The Japanese guy has made a good start. I see a lot of underestimation on here regarding the gooners, they aren't a bad side, we are quite evenly matched, will be a close one I think.
