    He's ok for cover but he's a squad player now.

    He'd do just fine at most clubs out of the top 6. So much PL experience. Probably go abroad though.

    I have massive respect for him. He came over as kid, didn't even have much say in it. Couldn't speak the language and was made a scapegoat for a couple of years. Kept his head down and trained hard. Turned into a very important player for us for a while. He's great to have around Melwood too, cracking bloke by all accounts.

    And has full blown Scouse kids.

    Yeah some people have no respect to give. He won't go down as a great player but he deserves massive respect. A lot of fans don't know his full story either, how he came from Brazil etc. quite interesting, and deserves respect.

    I like him as a player too, for about 3 years he was vital for us.

  6. Yes, you certainly avoided a savage dry-humping, this time round, Buzzy.

    You've given yourselves a chance.

    Probably...but we have won every game at home in the competition so far and only conceded one goal ...so I'll take that ...we've also humped Man City and 'Pool who couldn't cope with our intensity ...so let's go for it :)

    Well every home game since Shakespeare took over has resulted in either 2-0 or 3-1 wins so let hope!

    Some ignore anything good he does and jump all over any mistake, he's a good player, really good passer of the ball.

    Probably the happiest people after that will be the ref and sky sports anyway

    Match reports saying Leicester been done by a UEFA ref special.
    Hard lines there.

    The important thing in the return leg is not to go too PL physical.
    UEFA refs blow for everything and anything (sadly) .

  16. There has been a lot of analysis of the penalty decision, and the professionals are all say that - yes - the initial contact occurred outside the box, but that at the crucial moment Drinkwater walked in front of the ref and obscured his vision for a split second, so that, in real-time, the ref would have seen the tackle go in (then split-second block by Drinkwater), followed by player going down inside the box. That's how the ref would have seen it.

    The thing is, what is the player doing going in and making a rash challenge anywhere near the box? Surely, they must know what these continental refs are like? It's as I said in a post before the match, these refs simply do not take the kind of **** that Leicester is used to engaging in, in the Prem.

    Don't kid yourself, the still shots showed a clear view for the ref a matter of yards away as the contact was made. It wasn't an accidental error, it's cheating. There's a reason there's a penalty area, if it's inside it's a pen, if it's outside it's not. Just because a stupid challenge is made literally just outside the box, it does not justify a penalty being given instead

    He's just upset we are only one (incorrectly given) goal down as he was predicting a dry humping
