Leicester City

Should win this. Expected Pulis to sit back and play for a 0-0, but given he felt aggrieved about losing to us last time and he's just banged 3 goals in against Palace, he might fancy playing an attacking game with Berahino in the side partnering Rondon. I'm hoping that's the case as their defence is generally terrible in an open game and we should be able to capitalise on that.

Dirty Harrys favourites 2 WBA 0

Kante ruled out for this so King will play alongside Drinkwater in the midfield.

 

[PaulWolves]

Be interesting to see if Jonas Olssen plays, as him against Vardy could get messy.

 

[Dirty Harry]

team who time waste and played worst football in the league 1 wba 1

I really hope Leicester beat Brom tonight. I have a soft spot for them (not because of their position but I live here) so three points against the dullest team in the league would be great. I just get this feeling though that West Brom might just get something out if this, especially with Kante being out.

 

[JimJams]

You're not playing West Brom tonight Harry. That fixture is the 25th of April.

 

[silkyman]

This week will be interesting for Leicester. By all accounts they were pretty shit against Norwich, and are facing a West Brom side who have hit a bit of League form and will be looking to bang a nail into their relegation worries and will have an eye on a top half finish.

(yeah, I know I just posted this in the main forum)

The inclusion of the Queen track wasn't funny then either.

 

[Whitechapel]

It's a shame he can't hear you Steven.

 

[Stevencc]

It's OK I'm entertaining myself!

 

[The Iron]

Totally against the run of play West Brom have scored.

 

[Stevencc]

Brilliant pass from Fletcher and good strength from Rondon.

Sort it out Leicester!

 

[JimJams]

Well that's not the best start....

 

[JimJams]

GET LE FUCK IN!

Played for that !

 

[JimJams]

Olsson is off his fucking tits. He must be.

 

[The Iron]

Get in there. 2-1 Leicester.

 

[JimJams]

Fucking genius.

 

[Stevencc]

Gwannnnn!

 

[JimJams]

Brilliant for that to happen before half time, it means Pulis can't go negative in the second half which hopefully works out for us.

 

[JimJams]

Great free kick from Gardner. The bastard.

 

[JimJams]

I don't rate Schlupp at all and Albrighton was one of our better players. Don't like that sub.

 

[silkyman]

Retrospective ban for Fuchs?

(What world do we live in that 'Arsenal fans moan' is news?!)

 

[Stevencc]

Thanks Pulis, you c***!

PS - You know Silkyman is worried about a team when he trawls websites like the fucking Metro to try and demonise a team.

 

[JimJams]

2-2 Not the result we wanted but we played well and a great free kick has nicked 2 points off us really. Can't complain about the performance.

 

[silkyman]

Fuck. Didn't work.

 

[smat]

Party's over.

This is the sixth time I've declared Leicester's party over, but this time I'm sure it's true.

 

[Whitechapel]

Fluking a win against Norwich, then scraping a draw at home to West Brom. I'm not convinced about this Leicester side. I think they'll stay up though.

 

[JimJams]

It's touch 'n' go.
