It was with a heavy heart that I heard the news that Lloyd Dyer had decided to move on and sign for Watford.
The word on the street was that we'd only offered him a one-year contract extension, and he wanted longer, but if there was anyone in our squad that deserved his crack at the big time it was Lloydy.
I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say that from a fan's perspective, Dyer has been our most committed, loyal and enthusiastic player in recent years. Thank you Lloyd, your contribution to our club will never be forgotten.
I was half-asleep on the sofa waiting for game three of the evening, matchsticks keeping my eyes open for another 90 minutes of World Cup action, when there, before my very eyes, an it be true? Yes, Neil Lennon and Alan Shearer sitting next to each other!
Good lord. My mind immediately flashed back to 1998 and 'that' incident at Filbert Street.
Presenter and City legend Gary Lineker just couldn't resist a jibe at Shearer's expense, but it's clear there are no hard feelings, and it was good to see two old pros having a chuckle over something that at the time was highly controversial. Apparently Lennon head-butted Shearer's boot!
I read with interest that City have just under 500 season tickets left to sell, and will let them go at the end of the week, one-person-one-ticket if you meet a certain criteria.
It's good that the club want to secure these seats for fans who saw us play at least three times last season. Tickets to see us at King Power are going to be a prized possession come August.
I barely got a wink of sleep on Tuesday night. Would it be a difficult away trip to Man City or Liverpool? Or maybe a more gentle introduction to the new season.
My mind was darting all over the place in nervous excited anticipation.
The 2014-15 season fixtures came out at 9am Wednesday morning and the suspense was over... Everton at home for the first game of the season.
"We're playing them in a pre-season friendly in Thailand," my mate chirped in, so it's a double header.
As I looked further down at our schedule, my anxiety levels rose. Chelsea away, Arsenal at home then Man Utd at home all within the first five matches.
After a five-minute sit down in a dark more serene place (and several long deep breaths), another peek revealed a more lenient end to our campaign.
And I'd rather it that way than the other. What more can we ask than for our boys in blue and white to give it a good go come kick-off on August 16th.
What is there to be afraid of? We are Leicester City!
