Left for the 50 mile journey to Leicester at 5 this morning should arrive around 19:15 hopefully, little matter of a 12 hour shift at work in between. I hope the players also put a shift in today.

The atmosphere is already building in Leicester, just nipped out for a hot potato for lunch and you can sense it.

Maybe it's because you got the last potato.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Lets get ready to GRUMBLE

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Think we'll do well to get an honourable draw, with our confidence being so low and the Foxes sky high.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Wonder if there will be a prematch Garcia out poll rather than wait until after....just saying like

I hate to be negative but I feel a thumping happening tonight.

They will wanna finish as champions so cant see them taking their foot of the gas any time soon.

Must be nice for them having all this time to prepare for the prem.
