Buzzing.

 

To all the 'i don't give a toss about league cup' mob - tell that to my 12 year old who was crestfallen at half time and absolutely buzzing at end, who literally yapped excitedly every step of the 30 or so min walk back from ground and has only just really stopped!

 

Thought we were excellent 2nd half and Kop played its part....ultimately when all is said and done winning football matches and trophies is 1. What this football club exists for and 2. Is all that really matters...

 

Yeah the league cup is the 'lowest priority' of the 4 we can win, but winning things is actually something that you don't get that many chances to do really and it does not happen all that often - every trophy matters to me personally and it felt like it mattered in that ground tonight and it really mattered to my lad.

 

 

Great for your kid that. Nice one

Rodgers keeps getting his self addressed envelopes mixed up.  Fuck Leicester fans too. All that could be sung was fuck the tories because Leicester is such a non entity of a club and place there's nothing to hang your hat on. No characteristics, no culture, nothing to offer other than you exist and youre jam packed full of cunts.

 

The only thing they've brought to the world is shit crisps.

Have to say that was the game I’ve most enjoyed seeing so far this season.

Even at 0-2 & 1-3 I thought if we just cut out the silly mistakes we could salvage it, and so it proved.

A couple of the youngsters were out of sorts, (nerves maybe?) and unfortunately were punished for mistakes, but I’m sure they’ll benefit from the experience of playing before a packed ground generating, what has to be said, a great atmosphere, stimulated in part by the Leicester scruffs crowing far too early and then getting their arses handed to them.

The difference when the three experienced players came on was marked, and without Salah and Mane showed that maybe we won’t struggle as much as first thought when they go to the AFCON.

Leicester we’re cynical in their time wasting and feigning injury, and I think it’s a pattern we’re beginning to see from teams who play us at the moment, tactics meant to frustrate and break rhythms, as they don’t have the players or tactics to do anything else.

That’s where referees should bring their authority to bear and I felt the ref last night gave us a little bit of the benefit sometimes because of Leicester’s shithousery.

A really good night for us and for football, the right result for the right team.

Merry Christmas Reds.

The 1st legs of the semis are Tuesday and Wednesday 4th/5th after the Chelsea game on Sunday the 2nd. I presume Sky will demand one game on Tuesday and the other on Wednesday so either us or Chelsea will have to the 1st leg play 51 hours after we play each other.

Fucking disaster if it's us considering we have to do the same for the Leicester game next week and the game after is Shrewsbury in FA cup Sunday 9th and Chelsea play Sunday/Wednesday every week for the Christmas period.

If we get the Wednesday slot the first week, we could play the same 11 for the 2 x League Cup ties and have a different 11 for the Shrewsbury game so the Sunday/Tuesday thing would be less if an issue for that game.

Something like this would be great if all fit:

Kelleher

Williams Gomez Phillips Konate Tsimikas

Milner Henderson Keita

Taki Origi

 

Allison

Trent Matip VvD Robertson 

Ox Fabinho Thiago

Firmino Jota Jones

And a Jug eared. smarmy cunt that the world and his dog seems to love.

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Tudor and Smiths. 

 

Killed off nice crisp manufacturers to replace them with their shite in wrongly coloured packets. 

 

Walkers are shithouse crisp aids in a packet.

Schmeichel showed what a twat he was with his comments after our 4-0 win at their place a couple of years back, when he bitterly tried to make out it had been an even game that was in the balance until the ref gave us a soft penalty (firstly, we absolutely battered them all night, and secondly it was a nailed on penalty). Great how his pathetic attempts at mind games completely backfired and allowed Jota to show how calm and confident he was instead.

Up early to watch the crazy fucking match, then to the barbers for a beer and haircut, before 9 hours of sun and beers for the work Christmas party, now home to sleep as I listen to the TLW podcast. 

 

Ace day. Up the fucking reds!

I have no idea why that isn't a yellow card. 

 

If it's true one of their players screwed their foot into the turf after his penno, that should be a red. Any footage of that please @Caramac

Nearly sure I saw Albrighton doing that.

 

But I was watching on some South African channel so they never noticed it

Smiths Bovril flavoured crisps were the sex. I still pine for them from time to time.

It can be quite entertaining reading through the match thread after a game like yesterday's. 

 

Heads were truly gone early on. Pages 5 and 6 are the highlights. People crying it in 15 minutes into the match!! I guess the lows and then the highs is what makes it entertaining to read though.
