    Ish ... you had a bigger and way more expensively assembled squad, than us ... and didn't so much run out of steam as blow a gasket when the pressure increased ... but I take the overall point <ok>

    We were knocked out by one of the best teams in Europe -Borrusia Dortmund. At that time, and until the last few games, we were still maintaining a challenge for the league title.

    How's you title defence going, btw??...

    'Defence' being the operative word ... there endeth the lesson <laugh>

    But do come back and have a chat as equals once you've won it ... oh wait - perhaps your grandkids can have a chat with mine then - after they've retired <laugh>

    We simply don't have a squad big enough, or good enough to compete for both the PL and Europe. Neither do Leicester.

    The pressures of English football are enormous. The PL is without doubt the most competitive in the world. There are few easy games. Almost anybody can beat anybody. Then there's the FA cup. The Carling cup. Throw in internationals that some of your players have to travel tens of thousands of miles to compete in for their country, and you've got a recipe for failure.

    Yes, and it's an abject failure!...

    Here endeth the lesson on competing effectively on multiple fronts. Particularly in Europe.

    'Effectively' is a poor substitute for 'successfully' buddy ... nice spin mind.

    Possibly because Spurlock knew he was taking the piss and found it funny baiting you?

    Just a thought like <rofl>

    As I pointed out, we competed in Europe up to the last 16, whist still maintaining a title challenge.

    We ran out of steam, you will ( or have) too...
