Leicester City 0 Arsenal 2: Trying to score a goal, is it time for a minor?

Sadly, it is hardly headline news these days when Leicester City lose. This is a football club that badly needs someone to make a bold decision.

Our perspective on the latest news and events at Leicester City

Leicester plunge van Nistelrooy into new territory

Brentford was another reminder that whatever van Nistelrooy’s abilities, this may not work out for all parties. The damage might already be done. Proven managers could fail with this squad.

Hopefully, van Nistelrooy can prove himself by keeping us in the Premier League. Watching Ruud watching on at Brentford, flanked by Top and Jon Rudkin on one side and Andrew Neville on the other, he looked like the right man in the wrong situation - a headteacher brought in to sort out a failing school.

Fixing the Foxes: Improving the relationship between Leicester City and its supporters

There’s a reason we all went on and on about how much we enjoyed the trip to Deepdale earlier this year. It felt like the away days of old, a real nostalgic throwback.

So much of what was enjoyable had nothing to do with the on-pitch events either. It reminded us all of days where we fell in love with Leicester and football.

Bill, John and Johan: When Leicester City won at Liverpool

Liverpool were the dominant force of English football in the 1970s and 1980s. Anfield was their fortress and their longest unbeaten home run of the century came right in the middle of the period between 1978 and 1980.

The Reds went 63 games without defeat at home ahead of the visit of bottom-of-the-table Leicester City for Anfield’s first game of 1981.

Barrie Pierpoint, the hangman and Shane MacGowan: a festive Foxes tale

One day in 1997, after Leicester City decided they had to leave Filbert Street, Chief Executive Barrie Pierpoint was standing in a field in Aylestone, forming pictures in his mind.
