    That'll be it, Mahrez and Vardy have been replaced by imposters.

    The way this season has gone for them is almost as hard to believe as the last. They had a great chance to establish themselves as a new fixture in the top six and they've blown it spectacularly. On top of all that they could win the Champions League, really bizarre situation.

    SAFC players should take a look at Bournemouth tonight. Full of fight, went 1-0 down but really giving citeh a tough game. Maybe they will fall in the second half but at least they are giving it a right go

    In theory they could mate, but in reality Sevilla will polish them off no bother. I'm sure Ranieri has basically admitted they'll have to sacrifice the Champions League to concentrate on their survival battle.

    They've had City on the ropes a fair bit, but you don't play City the way you'd play Hull so it means nowt.

    Same old crap. They had to be begged by Aguero on the radio to buy CL semi final tickets last year... Can you imagine if Sunderland were playing in a CL S-F how many spares would there be?

    Oh aye I'd be gobsmacked if they get anywhere near the final but you can't ignore history entirely, they won the league last year and although they aren't as strong now there's the element of surprise that worked so well for them last season.

    You'd imagine that Sevilla would be prepared for it but even so the way Leicester play will be quite alien to them and perhaps not all that easy for them to deal with.

    Trouble with Leics is they give the game away in midfield, by playing 4-4-2 and their centre halves are shot to bits, Huth and Morgan ran out of petrol about 6 months ago.

    Aye you can't write them off completely, they did well in the group stage albeit against mediocre opposition. If they somehow got through the next round it would actually probably be beneficial to our ever slimming chances of avoiding relegation.

    I've won the champions league countless times with Sunderland, I tell you if I was in charge we'd buy up all the best young players and be the best team in the world in four years.
