Putting all of this into perspective, this time last year this bloke was in charge also the last time we went to Leicester http://youtu.be/tLY4QKixjsg

Chronicle think Mbabu is in contention for tomorrow. Apparently Cathro rates him and is likely to recommend to Benitez that he is our best option there, albeit there is no one else like

The boring f***** will be commentating as usual. As for SJP hope it's the absolute bear pit that it can be, similar to Halloween in 2010. With super Catts absolutely papping himself.

Leicester have been incredible this season and I really hope they win it but their team isn't unbeatable, their players aren't immune to pressure, nerves or an off night. My hope is that our effort levels are going to be high, we are going to give a s*** and we will have a resemblance of a plan to get something out of the game. We can get something

Stoke have been gash, were totally gash against us. The frustration of not appointing Rafa in that 18 days man, fear it could cost us

They will turn it on against us

They will see this as a huge opportunity, hopefully some nerves will kick in. Throw our new manager into the mix and our players who will undoubtedly be more motivated and organised we might get something. Leicester haven't been as convincing at home recently v West Brom and Norwich

Bhoywonders posts in this thread ha. Always brutal

The most pleasing thing was that there was no f****** about. Got them straight in for training, no doubt drilling into them what standards he expects. Straight into the dugout for Leicester, coaching staff in place. Let's just crack and get some results

Wijnaldum in

Can't even think about the Derby yet, I know I won't be confident. Keeping quiet at work in front of the Mackems, about the whole thing and neutral on Benitez.

We discussing this

You've f***** up Lee. Marching into SJP with Benitez, holding the shirt with him in the pictures like some sort of hero. Should be first out of the door

Yeah, after sacking Steve when he should have been and being out of the bottom 3 with our new manager.

It's hard. This club has become a bottomless pit of cynicism and negativity, rightly so

Sends a shiver down my spine, that. The clip of this lot man

Class appointment tinged with the frustration that this should have been done after Chelsea. 18 days and Stoke, Bournemouth followed. Massively frustrating Edit: Could have joined the squad in La Manga, so frustrating

These sound Mackems metal is about to be tested

Where's dat battling relegation experience tho

Hate this uncertainty wish it was just done either way. D day tomorrow

Anyone know what his preferred formation is? Is his style mainly pragmatic? Would like to hear someone with a bit knowledge to get an idea of how he would set us up

Hopefully the players say this when he walks in day 1 and raise their game 10 levels

Has Ryder not confirmed this is wide of the mark yet?

Might be a scenario of Cathro in charge for Leicester with Benitez in the stands
