2016/17 UEFA Champions League - Round of 16

Lost it in the first leg. Should’ve won by 3 or 4 in Spain.

That wanker Nasri must be as bad a professional as there is in the game.

He is to football as to what Boycott is to being honest with the forum.

What’s with the white flags the Leicester fans are waving?

Craig Shakespeare maintains his 100% winning record as Leicester City manager. It really was a shrewd move by Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha to install him as manager.

Why don’t you go and play with your little friends backtrackinasuit and Dan Carter?

Sevilla gone back a lot in a season

They should have stuck with the Europa league .

Sigh

He has reeled in the malcontents and has proved to be a lightening rod. They can now net the biggest catch of all.

Absolutely. Claudio Ranieri is a gentleman, but sentiment and living off past glories don’t go far in the cut and thrust world of EPL management. Ranieri had spent nearly £68 million on new players for this season, just behind Liverpool who spent £70 million. The Leicester net spend was £24.5, million, as against -£14.5 million for Liverpool. With such a poor return on his investment and the real and imminent threat of relegation, Ranieri’s fate was inevitable.

That’s the fourth penalty in a row that Sevilla have missed.

The Leicester story has all the elements of a Shakespearean drama - the tragic hero, the soliloquoys, the plotting, the stabbing in the back, the redemption, the, eh, drama. Wes Morgan is Othello. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is Macbeth. Claudio Ranieri is Banquo’s Ghost. Kasper Schmeichel is Hamlet.

Who better than Shakespeare to come in and bring the story to its natural conclusion, which is that they end up becoming champions of Europe and getting relegated in the same season.

I can see Shakespeare leading them to European glory the same way Di Matteo did with Chelsea

Sounds like the plot from one of the series of Dream Team.

Leicester’s games at Filbert Street were usually used as the template for Harchester United’s games.

Wes Morgan reminds me very much of John Black - the tough, uncompromising centre-back who was shot dead by a sniper as he lifted the FA Cup in 1999 after Luis Amor Rodriguez’s two literally identical goals denied Manchester United the treble in dramatic fashion.

RIP :disappointed:

Jamie Vardy reminds me a lot of Karl Fletcher

Shakespeare comes across as a fat, mouth breathing oaf. A poor man’s allerdice, he’s a piggy-cunning class prefect who the muinteoir would leave in charge for a few minutes while he nipped out for a fag, knowing full well that if he was gone any longer, the class would have sussed that the fat cunt was at nothing, and chaos would reign.
