    But it's a journey not one of them will ever forget, players and fans alike.
    Brilliant for them to have got this far <ok>
    Unlucky, Foxes but well played nonetheless - no shame in losing to Atletico de Madrid.

    Just a pity that some of their 'fans'/rentamob chose to behave abroad last week in the way that so many English 'fans' have behaved in the past.

    I'm on the fence with that JM Fan, I read a report by a decent journo that the Spanish police charged at Leicester fans for no reason!

    I said before the first leg of the game against Man City: I love that Monaco squad. They are already 2-0 up tonight, 5-2 (I think) on agg. I'd like to see them win it. So many young talented players. They are only just breaking onto the scene! Imagine what they would be like in a few years time!

    I'd be amazed if that club manage to hold on to their key youngsters in the summer. I think all the biggest and richest clubs are going to try and ram-raid that club this summer.

    Funny how thw Monaco police held up the Dortmond bus for twenty minutes making them late to arrive. There was no reason given for the hold up but I'm sure it unsettled the players enough to give Monaco an advantage! <doh>

    They are a much better side than Dortmund. What's the excuse tonight?

    That does sound unfair, but I really don't think it had any effect on who goes through.

    Don't think Barca are going through.

    40 minutes gone, Barca haven't looked all that good, Juve look great on the counter. 0-0, Barca need to win by 3 or 4? The ref taking no nonsense tonight of any of the Barca diving.

    This ref doesn't seem to want to help either side. Very strict, very stern.

    Refreshing to see.

    I really like the way Juve try to control their clearances instead of just hoofing the ball downfield.

    I'm not certain, but I believe that's over 500 minutes they've played in the CL without conceding a goal. <yikes>
    Justice has been done for the way they beat PSG!!!

    Just seen this on the EDP website - "AN is heading back to CR as a football pundit for Sky!!! <yikes>
    Also - Neil said he had not been approached by any clubs since leaving Norwich and continued: “The worst thing about being out of a job in football is you’re waiting for some poor guy to lose his job, it’s not a nice position to be in." #disbelief
    This comment from Rusty on JM - "Madders works really hard, I really like him, he’s confident – he’s not arrogant – he’s confident in what he can do, he’s confident in his ability and you can see that in the way he plays." #bringiton
    He also says that Godfrey and a few others are knocking at the door
    In anther article (Paddy's been busy!!) - On AI - "What Stuart did say to me is the board would like me to be here next season but the realistic thing is the new head coach will make that decision," He may be useful working with the youth teams, but so much will depend on who comes in as HC and who he brings with him.

    Edit - I see Ranieri is looking to get back into management!!! #iwouldntsayno

    Pogba gets a lot of grief for not being worthy of his price, and he isn't but who would be. It's not his fault.

    But that ball leading towards the United goal, was a worldie! He deserves credit for that. Also, as I type this, if it wasn't for a world class save by the keeper, he would have scored just then.
