What are you saying? Have you come on here to write a post that essentially criticises yourself? And what horror show are you referring too exactly ?

Your post has me laughing….what is he on about !

The more I think about it.  What a costly distraction this cup run has been.  Losing Ricardo in the Bournemouth game and our league form collapsing while Leeds and Ipswich close the massive gap we had a few weeks ago!!

Honestly, get real there's absolutely no way we're winning the thing.. did you watch Manchester City against Newcastle?

They're on a completely different level than us!

If we play them it would be an embarrassment.

If we lost to Bournemouth, then we’d have been playing Southampton this weekend.

 

With Ndidi half fit and without Ricardo. Surely we’re better off when they’re both back?

It is weird that an old man that calls a football team "spuds' hates football so much .

You say that but the year we won it the semis were:

Southampton vs Leicester

Chelsea vs Man city 

 

Chelsea vs Man City would clearly have been the big final

Also that league cup semi we bottled against Villa. While Man City drew Man Utd. Was the tie we wanted!

Didn't Arsenal draw Liverpool in an earlier round? How very inconvenient. 

[Master Fox]

If anyone falls from the upper tier stand please make sure you film it so we can all have a laugh at your expense, After the game.

I was in the Double Decker so all the goals were at the other end. It was a great FA cup tie. I do remember Chris Kelly the Leatherhead Lip too. 

use to love a change n go in the double decker now n then and yes lip got 1 of goals that day

[foxfanazer]

Please Leicester. Just please 

[goose2010]

Nice going into a game as a underdog again and actually having no pressure.

 

It's game can actually enjoy. 

[marcymarc666]

I just hope we don't get hammered today. It could have a serious effect on the players going in to these last crucial games.

Football is all about confidence and Ipswich and Leeds seem to be overflowing with it at the moment.

 

[whoareyaaa]

Just hope we give it 110% and no silly mistakes, these are beatable.

[teblin]

Forget about Leeds and Ipswich today. We can’t do anything about that. We will take care of that in the last 9 games.

 

Those if you are going enjoy it, football is about moments and escaping day to day life.
 

Enjoy today, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Any recommended pubs before the match near Stamford Bridge? Seems that there is not a designated away pub. 

[Spudulike]

Is it Danny Murphy on co-comms today? If so, expect plenty of suggestions that one or two of our players deserve to be playing at a bigger club if they show up today. Most likely KDH if he plays whether decent or not. Might have to watch with the sound off.

I’m just hoping win or lose we sort out our league performances out ASAFP yes we’ve had a few injuries but so have Leeds etc we’re pi55ing away points left right & centre, time for the lads to buck up their collective ideas sort out their schitt & give 100% for the last 9 games of the season it’ll be such a damp squib to fall from grace & have to be in a playoff place after having such a tremendous lead over the rest in this league !!

 

[Kiwi_fox]

Anyone know of any good pubs in London with a foxes fan base? I live in London but didn’t manage to get a ticket to the game today and keen to watch the game with some fellow foxes.

[Raj]

Not that bothered if we lose today as long as we don't get any injuries and show abit of fighting spirit no matter what the team selection.

The Stags Head up near Great Portland St is ran by a Leicester fan but he'll likely be at the game. They'll have the game on though and quite possibly be Leicester fans in there.

To be fair, QPR and Sunderland aside (and we won the latter), I don’t think we’ve played badly at all performance wise. It’s just results.

The way we play there will be silly mistakes 

we rode our luck at anfield in the league cup but it’s the way we do things now so just got to hope we don’t get punished 

 

boro did it there in the league cup and lost by 6.  It’s a big risk but let’s see how we go. Without Ricky I do feel we struggle to make the formation work against good teams.

That is impossible and you are Louis Walsh

[fazzyfox]

Wonder if Chilwell has really been injured or just, oh for the sake of an example been meeting with representatives from another club on the day he’s called in sick?
