Been in Leicester for a week or so visiting family. Someone got me a ticket to go watch tonight. Should I be excited?

Do we have a sense of entitlement? No. Do we deserve to be top 6? ...Yes

Can we not just give Claude Puel another shot?

So I heard! I think it would be a great place to have the official meeting place, but once the trouble like that starts kicking off, it's probably time to leave. Though yes, probably stated as it would be easier to bea... Police* fans.

Glad your son is okay. Great Father advice - bet the guy getting hit wish he had a father full of wisdom with him too! I think I know the stairway you mean. For that many people it must be sh-tty. I'd personally avoid plaza mayor. There are so many bars in Madrid center where you can sit outside. Huge congregations of fans will attract police, and even worse.. It will attract idiotic fans thinking throwing stuff at the police will be great bantz.

I know it doesn't look like there was far to move but there really is. He should of moved away. I don't think the guy is doing anything wrong, but standing in front of riot police like that... They won't move for him. Still though, I dislike the behaviour from the police. No need to do what they did, very over the top. Hitting the guy while he was falling... Ugh. Stay safe people. Keep your distance.

Not that their behaviour is acceptable... and I'm genuinely sorry you guys got hit... but if riot police are walking towards you with bat's and shields, are known for being aggressive and there are reports going around of them hitting people... Why on earth did you guys just stand there? Keep your distance and back off.

I don't hugely agree with people saying that the police here have problems with English fans in particular. They just hate disruption of the peace in general. I've lived here long enough to know that when ever there is any risk of things getting out of hand, or when ever someone attempts to do something to the police such as throwing a can of beer at them... they just escalate. None of the soft hand policing, none of the messing around. In addition I think it is almost general knowledge that the police in Spain don't f-ck around. You need only look at how they brutalised people during the austerity protests. Even old people who had nothing to do with it. Long story short, keep your distance and do as they say. Gtfo if you sense trouble coming. They have no interest in your banter, but will gladly give you their version of banter which comes in the form of smashing people with sticks.
