Surprise surprise Leicester get a penalty, and score 0 - 3 real madrid are losing at home to sporting lisbon 0 - 1
Whoever did the scouting report for the Brugge coaching staff needs to give his fee back. Don't play a high line against Leicester and dont leave a slow centre half the job of marking Vardy otherwise you will get a pasting.
I hate the champions league but happy for Leicester to ruffle a few feathers, at the end of the day it will be Bayern vs Real & Barca vs Man City episodes 8 & 9 or whatever.. it's bullshit the way it's become a closed shop, whatever happened to Malmo, Steaua & Red Star Belgrade? Some proper champions have to pre-qualify.. poor show
Just think, we've already beaten them (again), so if they win the Chumps League (arf), then we're the best team in Europe. FACT!!!
The sort of logic used by Scots who, after Scotland beat England in 1967, declared they were now World Champions and England should hand over the trophy to them.
If there's one team I want to see do well in Europe this year it's them. Their fans will appreciate the away trips like we did, while fans of 'big' clubs will wonder why they're so excited and fail to get it. Remember when we played Trencin at home the club had no idea that people would actually want to watch that game. Made it unreserved seating expecting similar sales to that of a cup game against Barnsley or a pre-season friendly and subsequently had to turn people away from a less than full stadium because we'd sold out the reduced capacity. To the brainboxes who run City it was impossible to comprehend why people were more interested in that game than playing Stoke in the Premier League, where the real money is.
Indeed, I always follow who the unofficial world champions are - if you haven't come across it before it's based on a boxing style approach, stemming back to the very first international football match: http://www.ufwc.co.uk/
It remnds me of the British POW in Colditz during WWII, who beat the chess champion of Yugoslavia who was a fellow prisioner. The British bloke declared himself as the chess champion of Yugoslavia, and retired from playing chess.
Are you saying that Vardy always falls over so theatrically ? Like a lot of modern day footballers, and first started by Franny Lee, Vardy leaves a leg/foot trailing so it comes into contact with any part of a goal keepers or defenders body resulting in him flying though the air in dramatic fashion, laying face down for a few minutes whilst the referee is shocked into awarding a penalty or free kick, then gets up, and carries on as though nothing had happened, because it hadn't. It's a contact sport and not every bit of contact should result in a player throwing himself into the air.
