Au contraire it was a statement to those who choose to look at CL's reign through rose-tinted glasses - still significant numbers - as misguidedly thinking that CL delivered the PL and ignoring other significant factors and, as a consequence, view CL's sacking as a travesty and ignore the facts preferring to sentimentalise his tenure. To not challenge that view is not throwing mud on someone, merely rationising the facts. I'm happy to move on but not continuing to support the myth.
MrSpaM Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Really hoping nobody rings me at work tomorow because my voice has completely gone
Matt Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Wow. Incredible. Very proud, great atmosphere, amazing. We're back.
MC Prussian Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 I'm going to buy a LOT of foreign football magazines tomorrow.

Puts in 9 or 10/10 performance without even having to score when he plays like that.

Ted Maul Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 That was special. On the pitch and off it. What a night.
Monk Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Just incredible. Thought the ref was bananas, but he actually got the penalty and the sending off correct imo. Dont know now if anyone saw the poor guy in the east stand looked like a heart attack and didn't look good at all.

At home games I'm your average bloke who just watches the football and claps along to songs and all that. LSF tonight - game changer. Got the whole stadium rocking. Chelsea v Tottenham was special but this - we did this ourselves. No one else. Spirit, bravery, determination. So proud to be a Leicester fan tonight. Same buddy first time I say in the west stand for a long time, every fan was well up for it tonight FairPlay everyone
ARM1968 Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Mersin proving that your average Sky pundit is about as accurate as an election poll.
stretch1965 Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Can't explain how amazing I feel right now, thank you Leicester City for making me feel this good since the presentation match last season
Ex-pat Sevillista Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Congratulations and well done lads, the better team on the night won. You may have rode your luck at times when we hit the bar and the pen save but no complaints from me. Now go on and win the bloody thing. Oh and ps If someone can kidnap Nasri at East-mids and stop him getting on the return flight I'd be much obliged.
Thracian Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 In over 60 years watching Leicester this was perhaps the most emotional night of all apart from lifting the Premiership title. What a show with allthe banners and flags before the game - the perfect way to develop an atmosphere and what a performance with the word TEAMWORK shining out in capital letters. This was no fluke either. This was a ruthless, entirely calculated plan that worked almost to perfection. Simple but clinically effective. Sevilla had once seemingly easy chance to take the game to extra time - the penalty so coolly saved by Schmeichel. Otherwise we won soundly and might/should have put at least another two, possibly three chances away and so finished with an even more remarkable scoreline. And maybe our fans need to apologise for writing premature footballing obituaries for our back four because with a game plan that once again played to their strengths, all four were immense in a competent rather than dramatic sense. And what unlikely goalscoring heroes. Morgan and Albrighton. The latter earned man-of-the-match for me because his goal eventually sealed our passage through to the quarter finals, it was clinically taken and it served to crown a performance which was little short of amazing for its energy and selflessness. Fuchs was another hero but everyone made their contribution to what was far more a team effort than an individual one. Once again, Shakespeare stuck with his chosen and trusted men and got his just reward for his 4/4.5/1.5 system which has Shinji sharing the full-frontal closing down with Vardy; Albrighton and Mahrez providing energy and invention respectively and the central midfielders Ndidi and Drinkwater shoring up the centre to force the opposition out wide so that crosses formed the greatest opposition threat - and they proved meat and drink to Morgan and Huth. Apart from one spectacular shot which cannoned off Kasper's crossbar, free-scoring Sevilla fired inconsequential blanks when they got chance to pull the trigger at all while Vardy and Slimani should definitely have added to the goals scored by Morgan and Albrighton and that fails to mention another two or three excellent chances. It all means another fantastic day out in the footballing wonderworld - Barcelona, Monaco, Bayern Munich or whoever and another famous day in Leicester's increasingly fabulous history. It also means our new "non-name" manager has won three vitally important games by two clear goals each and restored our self-respect and the respect of the footballing community almost overnight. And in what dramatic style. First came the sending off of Nasri which seemed to herald an increasingly comfortable and victorious finale for Leicester but then the penalty awarded to Sevilla could so easily have been the start of a ruined fairytale. Thankfully Kasper made his second penalty save over the two legs and broke the visitors hearts. After all the "nils" of January and the huge disappointment of our misdirected football this season, we really did have our Leicester back - and I'll never forget the stunned looks on the Sevilla fans faces at the final whistle. Simply a day, a result and an achievement to remember and savour as one of our best ever..

ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Tears of pride. Unbelievable atmosphere and the whole team gave everything for this result. I'll remember this night forever.

The Sevilla fans in the stadium and at the match village were great. Really you should have been out of sight in the first leg, but I'm glad you took your foot off the gas to give us this amazing footballing night. Winning it will be almost impossible, but as long as we play with the guts and team spirit we showed tonight, we will be happy.
AjcW Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 Not even going to check but I'm sure it's been said a million times.... CHRISTIAN FUCHS take a ****ing bow!!!! and the rest of them, but him especially! Wow. What a night... voice in bits.

Fuchs was having a awful season, but now looks himself again same with vardy and that is making a huge difference
Dan Posted 14 March 2017 Posted 14 March 2017 That is a dream result. Just cannot sum up how good this feels.
