Our current custodian could not come out for a cross if you put a magnet in both his gloves and the ball

Inspires as much confidence as tikay with AK on a final table

Researching Ben this afternoon I see he, ahem, likes a good roast dinner.

it is a sizeable club, in principle. Playing like it is headed to be a small club

32,000 crowds at times this season despite complete rubbish

great facilities, rich owner (rich untrustworthy owner) and last years youth team won the FA Academy league..that talent looks good and is beginning to break through

Watch out for Joe Mattock and Ashley Chambers

Massive overstates it somewhat

Rumours of young Mr Chambers joining Arsenal have been around for some time - is he any good?  What position?

[TightEnd]

a small forward, quick

can play out wide

England U17 forward, now 18

looks a good one

tonight FA Youth Cup

"In a game of three penalties it was an extra-time spot kick by the nearly-exhausted Ashley Chambers which sent Leicester City deservedly through to the fifth round of the FA Youth Uup with a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace at the Walkers tonight.

It was fitting that Chambers should clinch the winner in a captivating match because it was he, more than anyone, who was the key tormentor of Palace and, as such my close choice for Man of the Match on a night when the Leicester side was full of heroes.

As expected this was to a great extent a clash of two formidable attacks. Palace had some wonderfully gifted individuals, particularly their number 9, who I'm told was Ashley Robinson despite his being listed in the programme as Sean Scannell and left winger Vic Moses.

But fast improving Leicester gave not one inch from start to last and might actually have all but clinched the game quite early on in the first half.

Leicester first teamers Ashley Chambers at centre-forward, Joe Mattock in left midfield, and prolific Academy scorer Billy Kee led City into battle with as good as example as I've ever seen from them with a series of one-touch moves with cut the big but vulnerable Palace defence to shreds at times.

The breakthrough came early with a vicious low cross by Kee across the six yard box which cannoned off a back-tracking Palace defender into the net. Another brilliant move shortly afterwards allowed Mattock to crosss similarly and, this time, Kee sidefooted onto a post with the goal gaping.

The football was fast and furious. Palace might well have equalised when one of their strikers outsprinted Scott Garner down the centre and, despite a desperate but successful blocking of the ball from behind, a second chance fell to the Palace man but this time he tamely failed to beat O'Brien from close range.

Leicester's football flowed with Joe Cobb and Chambers flashing crosses into the box which should have been finished and Joe Mattock blasting high over from 15 yards when he should have scored. Palace had a similar chance which was wasted and the Palace number four finished the half by curling a 20 yarder inches just wide of City's left post.

City started the second half promising with Chambers dribbling wide past the Palace keeper but failing to find a colleague with final pass when a goal seemed likely.

It was a miss City quickly regretted as the Palace number nine equalised after a far post cross which Leicester looked odds on to clear.

Leicester responded. A great dribble by Craig King put Kee through but he was ruled offside, a Chambers free kick from outside the box was turned over the bar but eventually City regained the lead when a Joe Mattock corner led to a foul in the box and Billy Kee gobbled up the penalty.

Kee was replaced by Robbie Burns and almost immediately O'Brien made the best of several great saves by tipping a goalbound toe poke from Keiron Cadogan around the post.

Joe Mattock had two excellent chances to increase City's lead before a another rather dubious penalty led to Palace's second equaliser which sent the game into extra time.

This was no less dramatic than the rest of the game. Palace's Bostock looked certain to score when right through but somehow O'Brien rushed out and managed a slight but vital block.

Mattock had a brilliant chance but missed once more, Chambers was then first to a loose ball in the goalmouth but only touched the ball onto a post and the same player then produced a piece of breathtaking brilliance by controlling a difficult windblown punt, turning inside his marker and curling a 28-yard shot only inches wide.

Eventually though the break came. Craig King was fouled on the right and Chambers drove home the penalty with confidence to win the match 3-2 despite O'Brien needing to make one more vital near post save .

There was no playing out time by Leicester this time. Coach Steve Beaglehole never stopped urging his spent team to close down high up the pitch and to keep playing their football until the final whistle.

How the entire team earned their standing ovation from the fans afterwards. They did the club proud by winning a wonderful match against a talented side with style as well as spirit. Truly a night to remember."
