[Dingle Bells - Dingle Bells]

Not trying to stop on anyone toes regarding making the thread just bored at work.

What do people think about the Leicester game/ Im going to the game, I was at the Sunderland game.

Leicester did play midweek and it went to extra time so hopefully they might tire sooner.

They currently have the ever scoring Vardy and we have the ever solid defenece could make for an interesting match up.
Interesting I had Ranieri as the first manager to be sacked.

any thoughts?

I am pretty busy this week so will go ahead and stick this as the match thread. Saves me a job!

If anyone wants to play name that face (and year), here's an abundance of yesteryear moments against the Foxes. Guess away:

Vardy is obviously the danger man. If we can manage him we could get a draw or even nick it 1-0

Quite excited for this game, it's the first one I'm going to since the same game last season, I thought I had to go this time to exorcise the demons.

Sorry everyone but I do think it might be worth sitting back a bit in this game, with the amount of pace they have on the counter it could be suicidal to attack them too much and leave ourselves vulnerable when they break. I think we need to be the team countering really. I think we have a good chance of a result here, their team is about as good as ours, and neither is much better than the other. I really hope Vardy doesn't score cos I can't stand him. COYB

Still shudder thinking about this fixture last season. 2-1 up with about 10 mins to go and 3 points in the bag....

Hope I am wrong but I feel a 1-1 draw.

I'll have a go at your picture quiz Ska'd.

I have no idea of the years the matches were played but:-

Picture 1     Bobby Cram?
Picture 2     Ronnie Allen
Picture 3     Alec Jackson?
Picture 4     Absolutely no idea but, I bet he finished up with a headache after that challenge.
Could be John Kay in the background.
Picture 5     Bobby Hope
Picture 6     The King
Picture 7     John Wile.

If more than three of those guesses are right then....I guess I've been around too long.

What would we give to have those players in the team now?

Like a few posters on this thread already I'm still on medication as the result of last season's fixture - it was surely the most weak kneed, embarrassing non -performance of modern times.
And on Astle Day too.

I hope that TP can use this memory to get a reaction; we will need a positive and very committed performance to get anything out of this game. As ever, a lot depends on how many square pegs TP wants to put in square holes

I think it's Albert Steptoe behind the King's right arm.

Leicester will have too much for Albion on Saturday.
Now to Ska'd photos.
Photo 1, I see Frank McLintock, and is the Leicester number 5 John Sjoberg?
Photo 2, Ronnie Allen
Photo 3, no idea
Photo 4, John Kaye, Jeff Astle and Peter Rodrigues, and is the Leicester goalie Peter Shilton?
Photo 5 Bobby Hope, Peter Shilton?
Photo 6, Jeff Astle again - is this a testimonial game? Because isn't that the 1978/79 shirt?
Photo 7, John Wile and Willie Johnston

Gotta try and be positive

maybe we will get to the 85th minuet this year before we go behind from a leading position.
