Sorry....... :crylaugh: :crylaugh:

:scarf: :scarf:

Actually it all started when I slipped in the odd smiley to break up an other wise wordy post.

Then I found myself using more and more, sometimes slipping them :innocent: into sentences at random. It became so bad that I couldn't leave them alone, :/ they have started to take over my life..... :huh:

I know it is an affliction and I am doing the best that I can but my spelling is suffering (you should see the tippex on my screen), my grammer is going to pot, even my wife is threatening to leave....... :blink:

I am going to meetings and doing my best, but it's a long process....... :(

lol +1 for you sir !

Personally, hoping for a decent win, hate to say it but the rest of the season could be defined by this game.

Taking my youngest son and meeting my eldest son (who lives in Derby the poor bugger) at the ground, so it will cost me a small fortune after petrol, drink and food. So please Leicester, give us the win we as fans deserve.

We played well against Cardiff, and I am pretty sure those lads will be hurting after that! Plus this one should get the blood flowing being a local affair. I would like to see Knocky play, he could be perfect for a game like this!

Let's get behind the lads a roar them to victory! I work in ashby so it's shagger central, I expect a smug look upon my face come Monday morning!

C'MON YOU BLUES!

I'm not sure that they care as much as you hope they care ...

I'm afraid I no longer have any idea of what we are trying to do, the aggressive passing football of early season has virtually disappeared and we have returned to a team of defensively minded battlers, not dissimilar to the 2 seasons of NFP's first tenure.

It may be a cliche, but 'reverting to type' seems to be an apt description of our current strategy, our creative players are first hamstrung by onerous defensive duties (see Marshall's recent interview) then left out altogether, if Derby put in a decent performance I wonder where the goals are going to come from, the hoof presumably....... :(

In stark contrast to our fluid attacking style of early season, the first half against a poor and strangely timid Cardiff was as poor as I have seen from City in some years, we can not even take much credit for our better play second half, that came about by Cardiff bringing on wide men and opening up the play.

All in all I found our efforts somewhat dispiriting, we battled hard sure enough but is it really too much to expect some proper football too, at the moment, it appears so.

Another game like that on saturday and I'm into a darkened room with a bit of Joy Division for company....... :P

But you were rubbishing our play earlier in the season when we were playing "the aggressive passing football" were you not?

Moments away from getting 3 points against the top side and it's not good enough for you. Can't you manage your expectations for a side that is fifth in the table? Btw keep up the anti-emoticon therapy.

We'll miss Wood's goalscoring threat, no doubt, but we have had a tendancy to hit it long to him, which hasn't really worked.

I would hope, :fc:, that we might try and play a bit more tomorrow.

He's been rubbishing our play all season, full stop.

I'm watching this with a Forest fan tomorrow, so it's a must win for me. He's quite conflicted about which one of us he wants to lose more.

Finally a forest fan admitting they hate us as much as derby! lol

To be fair I think it's to do with the league table.

Pearson said the players were "distraught" I looked at the players when they came over to clap the fans and I saw genuine disappointment. Body language conveyed a really unhappy mood. Keane, a loan player, also celebrated his goal quite a lot too, look at the pics on the OS - tell me that isn't passion.

Footballers often get criticised for not caring but I really believe we have quite a unique bunch at our club, the vast majority of our players seem to really care and I find that very pleasing. Makes it more enjoyable to support Leicester City.
