    Plymouth v Leicester 8pm.

    Big match at the top and bottom of the table, Leicester level at the top and Plymouth 2 points off Sheff Wed, third bottom ...

    ... I think both teams would be happy with a point, I think it'll be a good match.

    8pm on a Friday night though, I wonder if Leicester sold out their allocation as it's live.

    They should do.. over the last 4 seasons their net spend is about £250m whilst Lille’s is £250m in profit. Pretty crazy!

    Christ, hadn’t realised they’d spent to much, admittedly I don’t watch a huge amount of the prem anymore, can see the premier league dominating that tournament going forward

    They've all got the jitters - especially Leicester. I can't see anyone new sneaking into the top 6 now, Norwich seem to be keeping pace with the chasing pack

    Eustace was liked by the fans and had them pushing (or actually in?) the playoffs then the Yanks start giving it Billy big balls and they end up with erm erm erm Wazza! <laugh>

    Sheff Wed have the best chance of getting out of that imo.

    Birmingham were fifth when they decided Eustace couldn't take them any further ...

    ... like when Newcastle were fourth and thought the same about Bobby Robson.

    This American believes that his big words automatically mean big things will happen <doh>

    Spectacular turnaround for Brum for all the wrong reasons. If they do go down, good luck to them putting up with all the **** that goes with being down in L1. All the timewasting and ****housery etc.

    Well, when I say "good luck" I really mean "**** 'em" <laugh>

    Watching this Leicester side. Football by numbers. Patterns of play and clever positions. But we are watching a coach who has no experience to fall back on. What do you do when a team negates you. Looks to me like he doesnt know. When I talk about coaches needing experience this is what I mean. How to put the opposition completely at odds. How to take them out of a comfort zone and a structure. I have seen nothing yet from Leicester designed to throw Plymouth, just everything based on knowledge of own squad. That is not elite coaching I am afraid.
