Leicester are the perfect football club. They know exactly where they stand as a club and they have designed a business model that is flawless, a manager that plays attractive football and has owners that are likeable. They punch above their weight, win a few trophies, finish high in the table.

Good win, give Leicester confidence and is surely going my make Pep over think the massive stress head.

From what I saw Bertrand and Barnes linked up nicely. City lacked the quality of throughball to abuse the space behind the fullbacks, kept fucking it up.

If it was racist, thatā€™s intolerable and isnā€™t on.

I love Wrighty but heā€™s not held in very high esteem in Leicester fan circles since 1997 and his clash with Walsh. If it was racism, Wrighty ought to call it out. I get the feeling he got personal abuse (not something I condone, either) and not racism.

Actually one of the best sights with the Leicester fans is the cultural mix of the supporters.

He wouldnā€™t make that up, if anyone resorts to that they are disgusting.

Get them with every sort of fan unfortunately which kills the game for the rest of us

It really is. Iā€™ve sat with them watching Arsenal as I couldnā€™t get tickets in the away end and I felt as safe as houses.

Thatā€™s not to say there arenā€™t any small minded idiots about, but I just canā€™t see it, if that makes sense.

I believe Wrighty.

Judging the City starting lineup Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll be heartbroken with the result, started 2 players that wonā€™t see game time outside of the League Cup.

Seems odd to use a ground with only 32,000 capacity.
