What is you name?

My name is Matt Davis.

ABOUT YOUR CLUB

What is your most memorable Leicester City moment/match?

Beating Derby in the play off final and/or Middlesbrough to win the football league cup win

Your worst moment supporting Leicester City?

Relegation to the third tier for the first time ever this last season!

In your eyes who is Leicester City's All-Time Greatest Player and why?

For me it is Gary Lineker because he was Leicester born & bred never got booked and went on to be a huge role model in the game.

Taxi For? (To which Player would you pay a Taxi Fare to leave the Club?)

Last season it became a case of who would you honestly want to stay i.e. double decker bus for! This season it is too early to say, but as a fan I only ask players to give 100 percent commitment - even that sometimes appears too much for some of them.

Which Leicester City player can do most damage to Tranmere Rovers on Saturday?

Based on his performances against you for the Cherries last season then Max Gradel.

Is Nigel Pearson the right man to get Leicester City out of League One?

I hope so, but first and foremost, Nigel Pearson is the manager we have to show a bit of stability with.

Any Leicester City Chants we should try to listen out for at the game?

Player wise er: Du du du du Matty Fryatt

Traditional ones are:

‘In Leicester's fair city, where girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled a wheel-barrow, through streets broad and narrow

Singing (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap) Lesta'

Or the Louis Armstrong classic, ‘when you're smiling' - which has become a bit of a cult Leicester anthem

LEAGUE ONE VIEWS

What is your Top Two Prediction for League One this season?

Leicester and Leeds - though the former is more of a wish than a top tip

Play-Off Winners?

Wouldn't have a clue - Carlisle is a pure guess

Your tip for the Bottom Four places?

Crewe, Hereford, Orient & Stockport - but again a pure guess!

THE TWO CLUBS

Where do you think Leicester City will finish this season?

Hopefully top two, but if we don't at least make the play offs we have failed

Do you think Tranmere will be Promoted/Relegated from League One and why?

I think you will end up somewhere mid table - whilst a bit simplistic, it is because (in my humble opinion) there are teams both better and worse than you!!

This summer you sold Iain Hume to Barnsley.  He was a cult figure at Tranmere but how was he for you?

Again a bit of a hit with most fans - purely because he always gave 110% in effort, although he didn't perform to anything like the best of his ability last season & he complains about decisions far too much in my eyes - although it at least demonstrates some passion!

What is your Prediction for Saturday's game between the sides?

I think we will win 2-0, but now I've just given our guys the kiss of death.

Any other comments to add?

Are your police still so ridiculously heavy handed with fans - if so, is it just away fans or are they like it with your guys?  They seem to want to start a fight not diffuse one!

Other than that, I wish you all the best for the season (apart from the two games when you play us when obviously I'd like us to win).  I've always found Tranmere fans a good bunch and I admire them for not taking the easy (& arguably boring) option of supporting Everton or Liverpool.

Thanks very much for your time and enjoy the game (but not too much) and good luck for the rest of the Season after Saturday.
