No this year no. It's just too much Tob. Don't get me wrong, I was euphoric walking down Wembley way a while back with my family. Incredible weekend, but we need to go all out for survival.

Result Saturday really does ruin your weekend, not looking forward to when we have the Friday evening kick offs, it will be even a longer weekend of misery!!!!!

Wins can come from the strangest of places.

Talking of contention with the ref, how do people feel about Leicester's penalty? Interesting discussion, I felt. The implication now is that the ref was fully aware the dude touched the ball, but he felt that just because he stroked the ball with his toe shouldn't cancel out that he completely took Vardy out when he was about to attempt a scoring opportunity, which I think is very grown up. However at the same time, we don't need further excuses for CERTAIN players to keep on diving.

Need to watch it again.

Yeah, but the injuries and lack of a decent front line are REALLY starting to bite. I'd be well happy with scraping another point while we try and get a deal for a decent striker over the line.

Seems like Leicester's transfer times are more vibrant than they have been other years, not only is Grey now a done deal (with apparently no loan back business on the cards any more), they are looking to triple Vardy's wages apparently to fend off the big clubs and we're linked to players from all over the place. Seems like unlike Pearson who loved getting old, experienced players, on the cheap, Ranieri is gambling big bucks (as far as Leicester are concerned) on young potential with no real track record. Apparently one lad we're linked to is only seventeen.

Do you guys want Danny Graham? I will drive him up to Leicester if you do.

Maybe he'll do an Odemwingie and drive himself around

He would get lost IMO.

Does anyone think this transfer window will be very active or slow.

David LFC · 01-05-2016, 09:06 PM

Can't believe I'm saying this but Kolo Toure was immense tonight. Good result but more hamstring injuries Coutinho will be a big miss with some big games coming up.

Slow. Mostly loan deals IMO.

Thought Lucas played well also.

Was worried when he had to play at CB but he dealt with it well, Emre Can and Joe Allen bossed the midfield, Can at 10M pounds was a steal going to develop into a quality player.

We need to go into the transfer market after all these injuries.

gvortex7 · 01-06-2016, 10:04 PM

Solid win for us today. We needed it too after a rough last 4-5 weeks. The second leg at ManCity's stadium won't be easy, but we need to end our cup drought of 20+ years. Let's move onto final. Go Toffees!!!!

Well done. Away goals only count after extra time so not a bad score sir.

Thanks bud. I actually didn't know that about away goals. Is that only in this competition?

Yes. Sunderland were in the same situation against Man U. 2-1 up after home advantage. I remember the rules from then. They haven't changed so.....
