We scored a goal! AND THEN ANOTHER ONE!

Leicester City Football Club’s relentless quest to find more misery to heap onto its fanbase gained another success with the fourth defeat of the season to the worst Manchester United team in living memory.

Wolves lost on Tuesday night. Ipswich lost on Wednesday night. It was Boubakary Soumare’s birthday, for heaven’s sake. Everything was set up perfectly for a smash-and-grab from the fearless Foxes.

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.

Inconveniently, Leicester City have to start winning some games if they want to stay in the Premier League. After a run of difficult fixtures across the New Year period, along came a “winnable” one.

Leftover turkey sandwiches, black and white films, Leicester not winning at Anfield. This was the seventh time in ten years Leicester and Liverpool have met between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It took place exactly 40 years after Leicester won 2-1 thanks to Gary Lineker’s goal in front of the Kop. And to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Liverpool won.

When you’ve scored two goals in seven games, who you gonna call? If you’re Amandine Miquel then you flick through your phone book for defensive midfielders.

It was Ruby Mace at Villa Park. It was Saori Takarada yesterday for the visit of Manchester United.

As the temporarily red segment of the King Power Stadium celebrated wildly at the end of a chastening night for Leicester City supporters, in the home sections the search for scapegoats was well underway.

After the 90 minutes were up and the fourth official signalled a further four were to be played, it was in the fourth of these minutes that the ball fell to a player in a claret and blue shirt exactly six yards from goal.

Crystal Palace are the latest promoted team to try their luck at avoiding relegation from the WSL at the first attempt. Bristol City failed to bridge that gap last season, although the previous two years saw the newly-promoted sides stay up. In 2023, it was Liverpool. In 2022, it was Leicester City.

Back in the halcyon days of 2023 and the past beyond, if your unimportant football club was drawn away from home against even less glamorous opposition in an early round of the least prestigious competition, you had so many outs.

This is a new era for Leicester City Women - as we covered last week, there are new faces in defence, in midfield and up front. But most of all, this is now Amandine Miquel’s time. And to properly start a new era with a new statement, you need to get a result.

Leicester City Women face the biggest game in their history this afternoon, an FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur with the chance of a first ever trip to Wembley.

With just over two minutes of injury time remaining in this hugely important Championship game at Ashton Gate, Wout Faes, standing on the halfway line, slowly rolled the ball five yards to his left to Jannik Vestergaard.

Leicester City love a clean sheet at the Stadium of Light. This one brought back memories of a similar scenario back in October 2000 when a far-from-vintage display nevertheless kept us top of the league.

Cast your mind back to that sun-drenched day in May 2013 and the moment when Anthony Knockaert followed up his saved penalty in the dying moments of our play-off semi-final at Vicarage Road.

Even with so many changes and fresh faces, there was never a chance the Enzo way would be abandoned - even for Millwall away.
