Did I mention quality being irrelavent to league position?

No, I said league poistion doesn't indicate how easy or hard a team is to beat. I also gave good examples of this. It's obvious that the higher placed will have better quality, but are they always tougher to beat? Draws only equal a point, so you can finish midtable with few defeats if you repeatedly draw.

It's the FA cup, you get loads of freak results. I also never said that it was a bad draw for Norwich, I said it that it might be harder than some people might think. I still expect us to win at the first attempt, but I can also see a scenario where the match goes to a replay.

There's nothing 'mythical' about Leicester's impovement under Pearson, they are now far harder to beat whereas they previously had a soft underbelly. He has them organised as a team whereas Sven had a team who played as individuals. I think you're making assumptions from my point that Leicester are tough to beat, I'm not saying they are a side that are full of quality (they have a strong champs squad) and will beat us, just that they are tough to beat.

I'm not shortchanging our improvements over the last year, just stating that Pearson will set them up to stifle and frustrate us, he's great at getting teams to play like that, hence why I think a draw isn't unlikely. Not putting Lambert or the boys down, just pointing out that this might be a tough, orquad and frustrating fixture.
