I am not so sure, we are currently 23rd in the European Club co-efficient list. Of the 22 clubs ahead of us 6 don't look like qualifying but with Leicester and Ajax both likely to be in pot 1 and both behind us in the co-efficient we will need a couple more to drop out, so we don't want Bayern to win the champions league (allowing a pot 2 team into pot 1) or Sevilla to win the Europa. It also looks like we will need Porto and Shaktar to not get through the final qualifying round. But lets actually confirm qualification before we worry too much and as SOS says it will just be great to be involved again
Good read, seems to back up a lot of what I've been trying to say but perhaps better put and not so OTT ! http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36151658
If Sevilla win Europa again that will be truly incredible, three years on a spin and they done it twice in a row under Ramos as well, safe to say they have a knack of doing exceptionally well in that competition.
Dele Alli has accepted the FA charge. THREE GAME BAN COMING UP AND HE CAN HAVE NO COMPLAINT No sign of Roy Hodgson bleating on about injustice? Leicester fans: THIS IS ONLY AIMED AT ANY OF YOU (AND ANYONE FROM ANY OTHER CLUB) WHO THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE ENGLAND TEAM MANAGER TO SAY THE FOLLOWING IN ADVANCE OF A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING HELD BY HIS EMPLOYER: “When you get sent off for something like that – where he obviously feels like I feel, and there is no doubt he is of that opinion – he has had to swallow(-dive - sorry,old habits are like Bruce Willis and 'Die Hard') the fact that he has been made to leave the field.Then, of course, he has reacted like sometimes human beings react. He hasn’t just said to the ref: ‘That’s all right, I understand, shake hands and have a good game.’ He has called him a few names. But he is a human being and that can happen." Hodgson is a ****ING CLOWN and the quicker he's gone the better. I was going to question whether he had the commonsense to shut up or was told,,,,but I think I know the answer.
What Dele done was wrong, he punched a guy and should be punished. What Vardy done was wrong, he tried to cheat and should be punished. Neither deserve to be backed by anyone but Hodgson's support for Vardy was what's been evident of the second half of the season in that they're the nation's darlings and the moment one of their players have been rightfully punished, people start suddenly claiming an injustice and anyone who thinks otherwise "clearly has an agenda against Leicester City". Hopefully Hodgson's gone after the Euros, this young generation coming through needs a manager with up-to-date views and ideas, not some dinosaur who's only legitimate credentials come from league title wins in Sweden and Denmark.
Alli punched Yacob. Vardy said a few naughty words to a referee after being given two harsh yellow cards. Both are likely to be given the right punishment but Hodgson can't come out and defend Alli for punching someone because that would be utterly ridiculous.
Coming from a guy who's camped on our board? It seems someone has a thing for us at least, certainly an obsession.
I have an interest in the only side that can overtake us in the Title Race. You're welcome to think that I'm obsessed, whatever helps you feel loved
This idea of the love you think I crave is yet another set of voices in your head popping up, just like the claims of us having agendas against you and that I'll laugh if/ when you fail in Europe. You're putting everything into our mouths and then arguing the cases, strange person.
If you don't like me suggesting you'll enjoy seeing us fail in Europe then don't say things like "Is that before or after Barca score 5?" and if you don't want me to think you've got a problem with being in Leicester's shadow then don't say things like "they're the nation's darlings and the moment one of their players have been rightfully punished, people start suddenly claiming an injustice".
Oh piss off. Vardy was rightly dismissed for a blatant dive. And then called Moss a '****ing ****' Alli, will get a 3 match ban and hopefully he will learn that you can't respond to provocation on a football pitch the same way you might do elsewhere.
Vardy was given the harshest of yellow cards and then a second because he tangled with Ogbonna but Vardy was rightly given a 1 game extension to his red card because of what he said to the referee.
His first yellow was debatable, but if you slide in like that you always run the risk of the ref seeing it as slightly reckless. The second was a blatant dive and attempt to con the referee. Pretty stupid when you're already on a yellow!
You've been on here since January though. It was the FA cup meetings that inspired you all to crawl out from under all the free pizza and beer they hand out at King Power. It was after Huth's free header got you a 1-0 win at the Lane that suddenly you all became experts on football and set up camp here to teach us the error of our ways in constantly confusing 'counter-attacking' with 'flowing football' and 'long range pass' with 'hopeful punt'. I for one am grateful for it, as after 23 consecutive seasons in the PL it turns out most of us can't even tell the difference between a Steffen Freund and a David Ginola.
Because Archers Road commented saying he'd love to see Huth elbow Messi and knock a long ball to Vardy, so I made a quip about the goal tally. What's that got to do with enjoying or laughing at your possible failings? I even mentioned in a follow up comment that I expect pretty much every side in Europe to get thumped by Barca when they face them, although I suppose you failed to read that bit? Does that now mean I have an agenda against 99% of teams in Europe? So would you dispute the claim of being the nation's darlings? Has Gary Linekar not suggested he'll strip to his boxers on MOTD if you won the Prem? Has the country's manager not publicly backed a player for cheating and abusing the ref who sent him off? Has basically every news outlet not said something along the lines of how can you not love Leicester/ Ranieri? Just see below for an example of that:
People : As I said some time ago, the tiddler keeps getting caught in the net (no matter how small we make the mesh size) because it thinks Leicester are entitled to praise on their game other than being top of the PL. Somebody please feel free to tell me what facets of their game that actually is ...
