    We've always had the nickname the Foxes - we've never been known as the Filberts - we used to play at Filbert Street but all that has done is lend it's name to our our mascot Filbert the Fox (has 'the' been dropped, I care enough to ask but not enough to check).

    Does your nickname come from St. Marys or is there another reason you are called the Saints?

    But we had to drop that when the Village People started sniffing around.

    If we perform it will be a very close game. If not then we will be relying on Kasper to have another blinder

    They can't use Lambert this time- he'll be in the stand!

    That's very true T19'. Should be a good game, I'm confident we can beat anyone at SMS. But if Leicester turn up and perform like they should be, then it will be a tough game.

    You will no doubt have a goal scored against you in a similar way by the end of the season. Its Football!

    I'm personally hoping Connolly will climb all over Matt Mills and scores a bullet header into the top corner and it stands!

    I am prepared to put money on Lambert being the most fouled player in the league and the most unfairly treated by referees. It's ridiculous how many times he gets climbed on, pushed in the back etc and the referee giving the free kick against Lambert!

    Lambert has committed 39 fouls, 18th in the League. Guly is the top Saint in 11th.

    depending on the ref, he might give a foul away when he props his ladder up to get that high..... unless it's D'urso and then he won't notice.

    The ref is Andy D'Urso.










    Not really. He is the 4th Official though. Neil Swarbrick is the ref, notable for sending off Barton a couple of weeks ago (gets plus points from me).

    Let's just hope Neil isn't running late and gets Andy to do the pitch inspection.
