Claude is never going to forge a relationship with the foxes while he does stupid stuff like this in the cup. Why rest players for a dead rubber against Chelsea at the weekend. He had a chance to trouble City tonight. Be surprised if he's still there next season.
I would be fuming if I was a Leicester fan. It's not as if it's the 2nd or 3rd round. It's the quarter final. And City, although they have De Bruyne and Aguero starting, are not at full strength. No reason whatsoever for them not to put their full strength side out. If you beat City you could get Burton or Middlesbrough in the semis! Puel won't be at Leicester next season IMO.
Including Gary Lineker I wonder if there’s any chance of Claude Puel picking his strongest side for tonight’s quarter final v @ManCity. We’re not going to qualify for the Champions League and we’re not in any danger of relegation. Might be nice to try and win something rather than try and finish 8th.
Leicester appear to have partnered Maguire with a slightly large, cruise ship standard, Maguire look-a-like.
Delighted for Hesketh. Should allow him to extend his loan through the end of the year, I think; with his injury history, he just needs a good, full season of competitive football, and then we can think about reintegrating him in 2019-20.

He must have had his hopes raised by having some Academy lads breaking into the team...or at least being considered. There are some good players in the Academy U18s and U23s....I'm sure someone on here said that after having a lull in the Academy that we now had several real potentials coming through.
The main thing is Saints doing well...but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see several of our youngsters making it through to our first team. And even if they leave it is good to see them doing well...they reflect well on us.
