Leicester City vs The Toon - Matchday thread

Let's go back to haidara

 

He was a top prospect. Got seriously injured. Never too be seen again in a NUFC shirt.

Exactly like what happened with Carl Cort

 

I always said give him a chance. Have been aswell for months.

Could never fathom why Ritchie was playing instead of him.

 

It’s a shame they only trained once a week.

 

This could get cancelled due to Leicesters covid situation. This would be great. Push it back till after Jan please.

 

Or we just get lucky, something we've not had for years.

 

Make them play their reserves

 

"if a club have fewer than 13 available senior players and no goalkeeper, a tie can be postponed"

If they have 13 and a keeper make them play for me!

 

This. There is no doubt in my mind that they would make us play it. It’s an opportunity for 3 points against a weakened and possibly fatigued team.

I might be wrong but we had a covid outbreak last season. Maybe not on the same scale but we had to play.

 

To be fair, apparently this is a UEFA rule maybe different for EPL games but what ever the minimum is if they have it - screw them - make them play.

 

Popped out for a pint with my lad last night and the Leicester fans are concerned about playing us, that's with a full squad let alone a covid weakened team.

 

Yey. Let’s destroy them and burn their houses down aswell.

Oh to much. Let’s just beat them then.

 

Hasn't precedent been set with that game years ago involving Middlesbrough?

 

Middlesbrough had COVID back then?? I never knew.

 

I suppose what players say is based on who's in favour at the time.

 

Leicester reporting 7 players out for Thurs

 

It's because they were all drinking with me and my lad in The Cherry Tree last night....

 

Surely that doesn't surprise you?

 

I'd imagine if they play Thurs night, they'll be required to play at the weekend - but, given it's the PL and it's against us, they'll probably let them off
