Ahhh I now I get you ... fair play ... I was there for that Cup game too ...
Are you sure you was there for the cup game, you couldn't remember it 5 minutes ago.
You sure about that, you played Southampton in the 1969/70 season

This gonna sound stupid but I've got a really random memory from a Leicester match.
Was when we was in championship before relegation to L1 and it was end of season game with nothing on it for either side.
Unusually, I wasn't in main singing section so was sat down, and halfway through second half some bald bloke of about 50 stood up and shouted at top of his voice:
'LEICESTER, LEICESTER, THE ****ING CHILD MOLESTERS!!"
Tragic and childish as **** but was hilarious at the time.
There was a wait for season tickets almost as long as the Home Counties hordes for Old Trafford mate
Too busy shaggin would have been funnier.
He will be here a while imho.
Two main reasons...
1. Levy will put himself under huge pressure if he sacks him cos ultimately he chose him.
He is the 10th manager he has employed. Only Martin Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino improved us...the other 6 were all car crashes.
2. Money. Most clubs are suffering cos of covid so I suspect the cost of sacking and then replacing him is prohibitive.
At 10 years old? ... I was good alright but
Nobody mentioned the 1930’s bro.
Nice story for sure ... but I've been backing a history of largely crap managers for over 50 years ... as did my father before me ... there were 39,000 at a packed Filbert Street for my first game in the old second division in 1969... more than we get in the Prem now (and more than you have ever had in your history).. it's all relative ... Portsmouth were a force in olden times ... no ****er had ever heard of Southampton until 1976
Not story mate but fact
I consider you about evens anyway mate. When I came to KP you gave me a sound parking spot but then wanted me to walk 2 miles in a storm for a beer...
Though I was definitely grateful for the quick escape from Leicester after et and losing on pens, so wouldn't change which way round the advice came
Didn’t you say your old man was from Manchester? Is he a United/City fan?
Anybody know the MOTD running order? ... Sucky has asked me to PM him 
Born in Blackley in 1930 but moved to Leicester as a young boy ... mother's family were United ... might have mentioned before but one of her brothers was in the same apprentice side as Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards ... still have cousins in Accrington (his daughters) ...
All I know is that when we get to go to games again, I won't be paying £50-60 to watch us.
For the three of us it'll cost a minimum of £150 plus £30 travel plus £30 on food and drink.
That's a **** load to be bored shirtless.
I get it for the occasional game but not week in week out ffs
