It’s going to be a horrible evening, isn’t it? Big noise from home fans. Referee has already been bought off. We’ll be cautious. Probably porous. My nerves will be shredded inside first twenty minutes. Why do we do this to ourselves? 😞

Because we love it. Try a Guinness. Or a quick whiskey. It helps. I’m now thinking this could be our Spartacus moment against the Roman Empire. Drink does help put a different perspective on it.

Things I want to see tonight (in no particular order)

 

1- Players squaring the ball if a team mate has an open goal

 

2- Defending a set piece

 

3- Not conceeding in the first 10 mins

 

4- Staying calm when the ref is rubbish

 

5- Our fans making some noise 

 

 

 

Can I add this

if we win a free kick in their half ie an attacking position DO NOT PASS IT BACKWARDS

Normally about 75 minutes before kickoff rather than the usual 60

definite drubbing on our hands here to get knocked out in humiliating fashion to then realize our season has gone down the pan because we put all our eggs in one basket. Vardy announces his retirement straight after the game with Madders, Barnes and Fofana all handing in transfer requests..

 

 

you heard it here first…

Sounds about right. Surprised if we score tonight with a defensive attitude .

And KDH to get disembowled in the middle of the pitch as Rainieri looks down and gives him a thumbs down. Then they let the lions out

How are people watching this? Don’t want to rely on my usual scratching around for a dubious stream and just wondered if there is any alternatives before forking out 28 notes for bt.

Plus Evans has another injury flare up to force him into retirement..

[FoxFossil]

Seems general agreement on a drubbing as Brendans abysmal knowledge of European Football and how it is done, once again fails us. Owt on the telly? 

(Might watch the first ten minutes)

[Raj]

Pre booked 3 days off work for the final today.

What could possibly  go wrong.😎

Have you watched Leicestershire recently, or England for that matter !? 😂

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Really struggling to get excited for Leicester matches lately but feck me am I nervous and excited for this one. 

 

I hope we go at it and treat it as an opportunity to progress to the final rather than treat it as an opportunity to not lose a semi. 

 

All at it and go at them from the start and if we lose at least we tried 👍

Missus arranged to go see her aunt and cousin from Canada in Luton tonight. Obviously hoping to be back for 8pm. 

 

So, of course, they're running late and not even at home yet

 

Hmm...she arranged it or someone called YOU did..either way good move bud 🤣

That wouldn't be such a disingenuous comment if you weren't so keen in disputing opinions yourself. Bit of the pot calling the kettle black there, pal.

If you were on the M69, England, listening to Radio Leicester then I think it is mere confirmation bias, superstitious sod.

If you were in Poland listening to Polskie Radio then that would be pure synchronicity and thanks for sharing this good omen.

If you need to verify, motorways in Poland use blue background on road signs - others roads use green road signs,

M6 close to Lancaster! And it was Radio 4
