Leicesterpool Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Once more unto the pitch dear friends, once more;Or close the wall up with our Leicester Spirit!In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man,As modest stillness and humility;But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger:Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage:Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;Let it pry through the portage of the head,Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm itAs fearfully as doth a galled rockO’erhang and jutty his confounded base,Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide;Hold hard the breath and bend up every spiritTo his full height. On, on, you noblest English,Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,Have in these parts from morn till even fought,And sheathed their swords for lack of argument.Dishonour not your mothers: now attest,That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.Be copy now to men of grosser blood,And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,Whose limbs were made in England, show us hereThe mettle of your pasture: let us swearThat you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;For there is none of you so mean and base,That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:Follow your spirit; and upon this charge,Cry ‘God for Nigel! Leicester, England! and Saint George!'
Foxhateram Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 So excited! About to leave the south west of England to make our way to Leicester! Watching the game today, curry out tonight, then showing the mrs Rothely station, Braggy park and Swithland Reservoir on Sunday. This is going to be a great weekend!
LCFC_Nige Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Got free sky sports for the day so watching SSN for build up then few pints in criterion before the game...
Carl the Llama Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Morning all. I can't have been the only one to dream today's events - I'm hoping it's not a premonition though because we lost a damp squib 2-1 last night with the goal coming at the end, already 2-0 down. And in case anyone's still interested in my potential latent clairvoyancy, I weirdly also got a sneak peek at Liverpool's match tomorrow - Lambert scores twice in a 3-0 victory.
Phube Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Sooo excited, wish I was going down... this emoticon says it best:
An Away Move Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Just about to leave Sydenham for Holiday Inn. Meeting an old Leicester school friend who's come over from Northern Ireland just for the game. A really lovely day lined up. Stoked for the match already!

davieG Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Roberto Martinez has high hopes that both Kevin Mirallas and Romelu Lukaku will play some part in todays game against Leicester. But whoever plays will have a tough task against newly promoted Leicester. Roberto said: "They are closer than I thought they would be. I didn't expect them to be ready for Saturday at all but the way they've been working and the desire they've shown makes it hard to count them out. It's hard to say how they'll be involved but I have an open mind after I watched them in the last two sessions." "Sometimes you get teams promoted on top of a very good year but they've had two good seasons and have been consistently wining games comfortably. You can tell from pre-season they're carrying that feel good factor from promotion. We'll have to match that. It'll be an incredible atmosphere but we'll have to be on top." "I'm delighted with the squad we have. The board and the chairman have been instrumental in providing the continuity we have. The work we've done in retaining key players and bringing in hungry young players like Mo Besic and Christian Atsu has been great. "We won't stand still and say we're happy with what we've got full stop because that's not our way of working but I am delighted how we've done in pre-season."
Number 6 Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Buzzing. Hope the stadium is rocking today - it's good to be back.

BlackburnClaret Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 Are you all ready? For the cheating, the diving, the biased referees? Me too. Good luck to you, enjoy it!

Tom17LCFC Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 can't even begin to explain how excited I am. It feels like christmas.
General Smuts Posted 16 August 2014 Posted 16 August 2014 I can't hack this. Been up since 7. Too excited to sleep. Been looking at pictures of Peter Canero all morning to calm myself down. En route now and found the only 3 scousers in St Albans. I need a pint sharpish. All I want is a good performance. I'm not asking much.
