    I never assumed, just asked a question. You assumed he would/will leave<ok>

    I didn't. I just assumed you assumed he'd stay all his career. Assuming that's what you assumed?

    So you made the assumption, nice and clear.

    But it's 51 in 101 now

    In my fifties buddy ... can make the home games but the missus would kill me if I reverted back to my 'travelling days' of the 70s and 80s (and 'tho tailing off the 90s) <laugh> ... not that lucky a ground for us, your place ... in fact don't recall ever winning on my visits tbf ... but we do seem to be flying in the face of convention somewhat these days ...

    I don't get to many aways these days, albeit every home game is an 'away' for me now, as I live on the opposite side of the country.

    From what I've seen of you of late we're in for a tough afternoon.

    The way you chase the ball in midfield and press high could cause us problems and I'm fearful of your pace.

    Who'll come in for Huth mate?

    ... would be a toss up between Wasilewski and Benalaoune ... Wasyl is ex-polish captain ... used to be a full back but moved to central defence as he slowed up ... he's a bit of a cult figure .. he's even more scary than Huth! .. Nigel Pearson joked that if Wasyl was late for team meetings they simply put the team meetings back <laugh> ... he was a legend at Anderlecht ... when he first cam to us two coach loads of Anderlecht fans would travel over to watch him play ... they really loved him that much ... hence we have a bit of a bond with them ... Wasyl played as part of a back 3 with Wes Morgan and Huth during our miraculous escape ... consummate professional who won't let us down but is getting on now...

    Benny is a Ranieri signing from Series A ... he's quick, strong but sometimes a little impetuous ...

    Richie de Laet can also play in central defence ..

    I suspect it will be one of the first two and wouldn't be surprised if Ranieri gives Benny his chance ..

    Sounds like you've got decent cover then......damn <laugh>

    I can see us having plenty of the ball, but if we push up too high I can also see you catching us on the break.

    It promises to be a cracking game, 2 good sides with contrasting styles.

    .. we only have one way of playing ... hence scoring in every game ... our Achilles heel may be the injury to Danny Drinkwater who, in combination with N'Golo Kante,(buy of the season for me) has been exceptional in midfield ... so we'll either bring in Andy King (who came in against Chelsea when DD was injured) or Gokham Inler, Swiss Captain and 'replacement' for Esteban Cambiasso - who hasn't been able to force his way into the team so far ...

    ... bias aside ... all genuine football fans will love Mahrez , if he's on song ... best natural talent I've seen at our club in my lifetime ... mesmerising ...

    I've been very impressed with what I've seen of Kante. His energy levels are incredible.

    We're missing McCarthy again I think, so Cleverley is going to have work damn hard to nullify his forward runs (as Barry won't get near him)

    Deulofeu is the key for me, so Fuchs is going to have to play well as this lad is mustard.

    Fuchs has been great since he forced his way in ... but Deulofeu is certainly a talent ... as you say should make for a very exciting game ... we've got a soft spot for Cleverley ... was on loan with us in our League 1 season ... went back to United injured but made the effort to come back for our promotion party game ... good lad.

    I would like to see Mirallas play and for us to bypass a busy central midfield and play to our strengths even if McCarthy is back

    I'd be tempted to play Lennon myself and keep Fuchs pegged back as he'd be terrified of his pace. Gerard could take the opposite flank and seek to cut inside Simpson
