Good morning, mate.Thanks for getting us started and thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why Conte was partying like it was 1999.
COME ON YOU BLUES!
Fernie heads just wide from a corner taken by Sane and how do managers stay Sane when their players defend like that from set pieces?
Oh - first big chance for Citeh. Fernandinho stole in on the corner and nodded just wide. Leicester's makeshift defense is looking a bit rickety.
Morning, MUR - how are you mate?
Vardy scuffs it straight to Willy Cabs off a long ball from Okozaki.
Citeh are all over Leicester at the moment - not great news for United and Arsenal.
I'm kind of tired after a long week and Elizabeth is down for the week, so we had a few pints at Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate then up early to watch the Blues.
How have you and Kate been? Hope you enjoy the commencement ceremony. Hard to believe it's that time of year. Melanie's graduation ceremony is twenty days away.
That sounds like a nice evening out.
Ndidi heads over with a free header off a corner. Both teams guilty of missing with free headers,
Oh - now a big chance for Leicester goes begging. Ndidi is not able to nod it home from about six yards.
It was none too shabby. Getting ready for the last three weeks of the school year then four weeks of Summer School.
Albrighton tries a pop with the outside of the right boot. Flies straight into Cab's arms.
I'm officially on Summer Break, mate. Are you jealous?
I thought I was having a nightmare when I first woke up. I was fixing a pot of coffee.and thought heard the voices of Ian Darke and Davie Prutton. Sadly, it wasn't a dream
Definitely, jealous. I learned about Professors summer breaks when watching " The Middle" on Tuesday.
LOL! I'm not fond of Ian chewing his vowels either.
Clumsy by Yaya on Okozaki. Begging for a card on his birthday?
In reality, few of us take the entire ten weeks off. Most of us are doing some work during the summer but it does slow down a bit.
Great sweeper keeping by Kasper or according to Ian, like Beckenbauer.
That sounds similar to our summer breaks even though this will be my last summer taking Summer School before retiring.
Kasper just fails to prevent a corner off a deflected effort from Sane.
Sane has a shot clerared by Chilly for another Citeh corner after some poor Foxes defending.
Clichy fouls Vardy on the break off a superb long throw from Kasper.
It is a fairly standard summer academic break.
How about the footie summer? The main events will be the Confeds Cup and the Gold Cup. Busier than footie summers during our time in Blighty.
Oh - massive scramble in the Leicester box. Not sure how that one didn't nestle in the net. Clichy should have scored. Then Sane.
Sane has a shot deflected for a corner after some trickery from Sterling, who got past Chilly then had a shot cleared off the line by Mahrez.
That's true - it's not a classic summer. I may have to dip into the MLS for a fix now and again!
GOAL! Silva scuffed his shot a bit but it still rolled in.
GOAL !!!! SILVA GIVES CITHE THE LEAD BUT FOXES PLAYERS SURROUND BOBBY MADELEY , PROTESTING THE GOAL.! BOBBY CHECKS WITH HIS ASSISTANT, ADRIAN HOLMES,
Leicester are going potty claiming that Sterling was in an offside position impeding Kasper's view. They have a point on the replay.
Still - 1-0 Citeh!
The goal stands . Based on the replay, it was too close too determine whether Sterling was offside. I think it should stand.
Fernandinho goes down in the box under a challenge from Fuchs. Citeh want a penalty!
Nothing doing from Madley on this one. A make up call?
Fernie does the Fosbury flop in the box and based on the ref's decision, Bobby Madeley doesn't appear to be a fan of Fosbury or his flop.
Great build up play to the goal, but it really looked a miss hit shot by Silva.
Danny Simpson clears for a Citeh corner.
Andy King heads away the Citeh corner. He was rarely defending this deeply while playing for the Toffees.
Sane goes over in the box and this time it is a penalty!!
PENALTY !!!! A STONEWALL AS BENALOUANE OBVIOUSLY TRIPPED SANE!
Gabriel Jesus to take.....
And nets it easily.
2-0!
JESUS! YAYA NOT TAKING THE PENALTY ON HIS BIRTHDAY!
JESUS !!! THE PENALTY STILL GOES IN. TUCKED IN THE CORNER, SENDING KAPSER THE WRONG WAY
Citeh two up and this one is almost done and dusted. The Foxes miss out on a chance of overtaking the Baggies into 8th place.
This one looks in Citeh's control now, which would put them up to 72 points from 36 matches. Safely in third. Realistically then Liverpool on 70 points from 36 matches are United and Arsenal's main target.
Benalouane was exactly representing the baldy union very well or so Guzan tells me.
Leicester are desperate to hear the half-time whistle. They can’t get out of their final third. Manchester City are relentless right now. They’re well worth their two-goal lead.
Not a good baldy representation there for sure.
GOAL! Well, well, well. An outstanding goal from Okazaki!!
He doesn't score very many, but that was a brilliant volley from a great ball in. Even the Citeh fans behind that goal must have enjoyed that one aesthetically.
2-1!
Game on now?
GOAL !!!! GAME ON AS OKOZAKI SCORES A CRACKING VOLLEY OFF A SUPERB CROSS FROM ALBRIGHTON. HIS FIRST GOAL SINCE DECEMBER 3RD
They had a humorous segment on "Men in Blazers " yesterday about bald American keepers in England becoming extinct. Did you see it?
Into two minutes of stoppage time.
Shakespeare to inspire a comeback in the next acts after intermission?
Peep peep - a cracking first half comes to a close. And I'm off for a refreshing shower to get my day started. Back in a tick.
Citeh lead 2-1 at the half in a match they seemed to have wrapped up for Yaya on his birthday until that cracking volley from Okozaki a few minutes ago.
The second half is underway from the Etihad.
Fred is up against the telly following the action.
Albrighton scuffs a volley off a great cross from Vardy. That was a great opportunity to let in Desmond.
Kompany booked for a cynical lunge on Chilly , who was going on a superb solo run.
Albrighton is down for treatment after a powerful cross from Sterling smashed his nose. He seems to be okay.
Actually not. It's a gushing nosebleed, so the Foxes are currently playing with ten men.
Albrighton is down again after being hit in the nose again. It was a stray elbow from Fernie.
Albrighton has a bit of a shiner after that challenge and the replay show that it may not have been accidental. Will Fernie be facing a suspension?
The first change from Shakespeare as Amarty is on for Andy King.
Fuchs booked for an off the ball foul on Jesus , who is still down for treatment.
Slimani on for Okozaki as play resumes.
I'm back for a moment to watch Mahrez earn a penalty!
PENALTY FOXES AS MAHREZ TURNS CLICHY , WHO TURNS HIM IN THE BOX.
Bloody hell - Mahrez has slipped and taken two touches on the ball. Referee Madley has ruled it out!
Still 2-1.
I'm off to my Commencement now.
Mahrez tucks away the penalty and no it doesn't count as mahrez scored, but he kicked off his other foot, so it's disallowed since he kicked it twice. A great decision by the eagle eyed Madeley.
Cheers, mate. Enjoy. Do you want updates?
Count that as a blown opportunity by the Foxes.,
Albrighton booked for a cynical barge on Fernie and he's immediately replaced by Damari Gray. A clever move by Shakespeare, given that the challenge was for retaliation.
Zaba on for De Bruyne
Aguero wins a corner off a solo run.
Kompany heads well over off a cross from Silva that resulted from the corner.
Aguero for kicking the ball away after conceding a free kick.
Vardy wins a corner off of Otamendi.
The corner from Mahrez is headed away
Seven up minutes of stoppage time, which may become eight is more than enough as Otamnedi is down for treatment. His knee was stepped on by Ndidi indeed.
It may even bee naughty nines minutes of stoppage time once play resumes.
The final roll of the dice from Pep as Navas is on for Jesus.
Will Cabs is down after being challenged on a cross. An elbow in the tummy from Ndidi indeed.
David Silva has talked himself into the box after the Foxes won a free kick. Kasper up for the free kick
Willy Cabs punches away the free kick from Mahrez and Citeh attempt a break.
It's finally over as Citeh hold on to win 2-1. All the goals were scored in the first half.
