    Leicester made 10 changes, as they were already group winners, so I doubt they cared about this game a great deal!

    Cellino of Leeds United fined 250K by FA and banned from football for 18 months for illegal payments in a player transfer.

    Sergio Romero in goal for Man U has just had a firework thrown at him from behind the goal.

    Aren't football fans wonderful human beings. I'm sorry to generalise when I should be being specific, but for once I can't be bothered.

    Holy **** some Osasuna striker nearly scored one of the goals of the decade. Ran from inside his own half and then tried to chip the Barca keeper from 25 yards and hit the bar. So close to one of the best goals ever.

    Refereeing decision of the season so far goes to.....Kevin Friend! Fantastic spot to see the handball in the Preston v Blackburn match.

    And on the flip side, Mike Jones makes a rights balls up for awarding a penalty for a blatant dive.

    Hmm, that sounds reminiscent of this goal:

    Arsenals reward for winning the Champions League group.....a trip to Bayern :emoticon-0102-bigsm Bless em

    (It would have been Barca had they finished second)

    Leicester have drawn Sevilla. That's going to be a huge test for them.

    An Israeli team versus a Turkish team. What could possibly go wrong there?

    I have to admit, had we got through I would not be travelling there. Must be a rather scary & depressing place with what just happened.

    Yeah, I just said in work that I'm actually pleased that we didn't get through. Really don't fancy the risk of Turkey for our players at the moment :(

    Can't believe Arsenal top the group and get Bayern. <laugh>

    Edit: Mind you PSG got Barca so they've got the better draw.

    Turkey has been a mess for years now. Erdogan is crazy, I wouldn't have gone there even before the bombings.

    Nile Ranger has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. How many chances is this guy going to be given and throw away. It makes me mad that there are kids out there who would love his opportunities and he is just wasting his life.
