That's what happens to you when you overdose on caffeine and nicotine just before the game, ugly little bugger too.

Like they weren't going to win the League? A different story altogether The FA created the leicester fairy tale to fuel even more international interest ( which means more money flowing in) in the EPL So the FA is now favouring small, unfashionable provincial teams over the globally popular, big money superclubs? This is a quite stunning development. When do we get our turn?

There is a very real possibility that by this time tomorrow night Leicester will be the sole English representatives left in the Champions League. Given everything that has gone before this season there's something just ever so slightly "off" about that. I wonder what Ranieri is thinking tonightđ¤ Whilst sitting in a Italian bar on his next red vino he's thinking Thanks you gutless back stabbing bunch of prima donas I'm enjoying the large cash injection to my pension

Given everything that has gone before this season there's something just ever so slightly "off" about that. I always thought their game would be suited to European competition. I'm not surprised at all that they are doing well in it. They have pace, goal scorers and are unerringly jammy. And cheaty!

Absolutely dire penalty. The kind of shitness lots of Stokies expected from him before he left us and they now talk as if he is Zidane. Loads of his 'fans' missing on here tonight though. Funny that? Still pisses on our current midfield, though. Shocker of a penalty; never understood the side foot option, myself. Twat it!

But seeing the zeitgeist break last season was great fun. All these years the big clubs have won it and consequently got bigger and richer and let the rest of us fizzle away to be extras in their big show. And, to my surprise, when the seemingly impossible occurred, loads of people prefer the zeitgeist. All the years of seeing the shit sleepwalking to titles was what lots of people prefer.

The most amazing thing about last night's fixture is that the ex Stokies competing for a place in the quarter final of the Champiions League were replaced by big Phil Wollscheid and Nelly Imbula.

Nobody was arsed about Huth going until about November 2015. And Zonz wasn't really appreciated by Stokoes until he left us.

The obvious question regarding LC's remarkable improvement over the last few weeks is .......did player power remove Ranieri from the club?

Hence the reworking of the rules on country places to the CL in future. The idea that the authorities would have someone created this is just daft

No I'm right. The ongoing droning about them wasn't prominent until they were performing for their new clubs. I got into arguments with Stokies who gave Nzonzi dogs abuse during his last season.

Nzonzi showed class but wanted to leave The form they produced at new clubs and the quality of their replacements is not the point

I think we should be rallying behind Leicester and hoping they push on further in this competition. Hopefully even win it.
Because if they do, and Arsenal finish 4th, well đ
