Terrific result for your mob nonetheless, while Leicester are floundering. Losing Kante left a massive gap in the heart of their team and Vardy's been off the boil big time. It just proves that what they did last season really WAS a fairytale, it wasn't simply a case of "well, someone had to win it" because Leicester didn't just turn up, they worked their arses off in conjunction with several players hitting purple patches of world-class form. But lightning rarely strikes twice...

Just watching MOTD now (I have good reason to, for the first time in about two months ) and Sanchez is basically unplayable. His third goal, good lord.

Thanks bud. Thus far it hasn't been that. What a bullsh*t goal that was that Sketelenburg allowed. What the hell was he thinking? Oh my.

We look totally disjointed on offense. No real chances created, no one going forward, the whole half was seemingly one big defensive formation. It's painful to watch. Ugh.

Happy with point GVortex? Much better second half.

Nothing this team has done the past couple of months makes me all that happy to be honest Steed. We probably didn't even deserve this point. Thanks for Fellaini's stupid mistake 2 minutes after coming on we did salvage a point though. I'm really starting to question Koeman's offensive tactics, or whether he even has one for us.

F.A Cup Third Round Draw http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38214843

Thanks Tob for posting that link to the F.A. Cup Third Round draw news article. I missed the draw on the TV this evening. Did someone else other than Mark Chapman present the draws for the first and second round draws when they were shown on TV?

I checked on the web yesterday to see what the result was in Stourbridge's game, only to find that the game had been postponed.

Am glad we've got a home draw against Derby County (I support West Bromwich Albion). Not going to get complacent about how we're doing in the Premiership at the moment. We need to get the points before the Christmas fixtures programme (which could be tough).

Good to see you in the Premier league forum mate. I missed the draw but friend text me. Quite happy with the home tie, if we can get 3 more wins before then, I might even be bothered about the cup this year lol!

Ugh, we've got Bolton away.

Just heard that Yala (Bolasie) has done his ACL and will be out for a good long while. There's no schadenfreude on my part as I genuinely feel sorry for him and Everton.

That's normally the rubbish ties we get. Good luck Geoff.

Yup. Things go from bad to worse. Lovely.

We have Leicester, so that won't be easy, despite their struggles this season. So now we have to play them twice in a span of a few weeks. Great. At least it's at home.
