The Fosse Way
Matchday
Black and white flags versus white flags: Newcastle United 2 Leicester City 0 (10 January 2023)
There’s an argument this was a game Leicester City could have done without. We made certain the League Cup wouldn’t provide any more.
3-0 to the Leicester boys: Liverpool 2 Leicester City 1 (30 December 2022)
There can’t be many better clubs to have supported over the past decade. And yet… there also can’t be many more frustrating clubs to support than Leicester City.
Back with a clang: Leicester City 0 Newcastle United 3 (26 December 2022)
Searing analysis: everyone was rubbish
Jamie Vardy - he’s older than you: MK 0 Leicester City 3 (20 December 2022)
It was a comfortable night in Milton Keynes for a Leicester City side that cruised into the next round of the League Cup ahead of a return to Premier League action.
Year-on-year improvement: LCFC Women 0 Chelsea 8 (3 December 2022)
Eagle-eyed TFW readers will spot that I’ve just copy and pasted the opening sentence here from James’s review of the Arsenal game a few weeks ago, and swapped in Chelsea instead.
Danny Ward and the hunt for the golden glove: West Ham United 0 Leicester City 2 (12 November 2022)
Leicester City made the trip to London in search of signing off for the World Cup and Christmas on a positive note.
Doom and gloom at the Stadio de Vroom: Reading 2 LCFC Women 1 (30 October 2022)
After more than 30 years I’ve somehow found a more frustrating team to watch than Leicester City. They’re called Leicester City Women.
Gauge against the machine: Leicester City 0 Manchester City 1 (29 October 2022)
Coming up against Manchester City is always a yardstick for progress and Leicester showed enough to prompt some optimism for the rest of the season.
Mercury rising on Planet Rodgers: Leicester City 0 Crystal Palace 0 (15 October 2022)
Whatever the reason for Brendan Rodgers referring to this vaguely mild October day as ‘hot’, it was merely the latest in a long line of post-match interviews that make you wonder whether he’s on a different planet to the rest of us.
Oh, he’s really Madd now: Leicester City 4 Nottingham Forest 0 (3 October 2022)
There are some nights when the performance really doesn't matter. When you just need to win whatever the cost, scrapping it out like rabid animals until one of you hobbles away in ugly defeat.
Striker wanted, apply within: LCFC Women 0 Aston Villa 2 (25 September 2022)
As a general rule, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to compare Leicester City’s women’s team to their male counterparts. Sometimes, however, parallels are inevitable and there were comparisons and contrasts to make as Aston Villa triumphed on Filbert Way.
Sinking outside the box: LCFC Women 1 Tottenham Hotspur 2 (18 September 2022)
Leicester City began a second consecutive season in the WSL with defeat on Filbert Way after Tottenham scored twice from outside the box, but there was plenty to be positive about for the hosts.
