foxy boxing Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Come on you foxes, we have to get the balance right between attacking them to get goals and being defensively strong. we need to be patient and play with plenty of pace and keep hold of the ball more and not let them pass us to death!. they can sit back and soak up the pressure and will try to hit us on the break so it is going to be extremely difficult but hopefully the players will be up to the challenge
AKCJ Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 I don't feel overly confident or overly nervous. Que sera sera. If we do 'em it'll be one of the biggest things this club has ever done. If we don't? Ah well, we gave it our best. Do us proud, as you always do.

I've waited for 20 years for this day. 20 years ago I watched the most disgusting one-sided display of refereeing I had ever since and have never seen the like since. I concluded then that the ref must have received an inducement to favour Atletico and although it was never proven the referee didn't get any further European matches. The ref was penalised but the wrong inflicted on us remained. Tonight we have the chance to lay the ghosts of that disgrace to bed. Atletico are a fine side and are favourites to go through but for the last twenty years there isn't a team in the world that I've wanted us to beat more, and we now have the chance, one we'll probably not get again in my lifetime. Couldn't agree more lets throw everything into this come on Leicester!!!

Pretty much this, just looking forward to the occasion. If we get an early goal I'll be a nervous wreck, but the lack of an away goal is going to mean we're effectively one goal from going out
The Guvnor Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 We have to be cute tonight no rash challenges in or around the box as these feckers will exploit everything. Hoping for a fair game with decent ref decisions then win or lose we gave it our best shot.

This time we're down players to injuries and fatigue. I get mildly annoyed that we played our first team against Palace, but then I remember how much worse it would be right now without Shakes - out of the CL and struggling in 19th, heading towards squad break-up and financial ruin. I've already accepted defeat in advance of tomorrow, so anything better would be wonderful. So much pride in these players. Fuchs couldn't stop grinning when answering questions in that pre-match presser. Exactly my thoughts and I'll be fuming if some of the players who played against Palace run out of steam tonight. I go tonight more in hope than expectation, Atletico Madrid are arguably the 4th best club side in the world so our task is monumental. It would be utterly amazing if we're still in this competition in 12 hours time though.
kushiro Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Stop ramping up the atmosphere you lot! I've got to sleep between now and my 3.30am alarm. Anyway, this is the scene here. The Mercury hoarding was 'borrowed' from outside a newsagents in 1997.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 I'm at work for the entire game. still be cheering the City on at every chance I get.

I'd imagine we'd be happy going into the last 15 minutes 0-0 and then throwing the sink at them. I hope not. I'm all for being 0-0 at half time but there is a tipping point when 0-0 favours them more than us and it's probably about the 55min mark.
UPinCarolina Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Short of going out and completely bottling it, I hope that tonight we can appreciate how far the team has come in the UCL. This should be a celebration, regardless of match outcome. That said, break the door down. Heist time, lads - on to the semi-finals, God willing!

In Sporting he got injured once in 3 years, here he has already been injured a couple of times, don't really know what is happening. The bloke's been a part-timer in terms of appearances ever he's been here and, in the end, I don't care about the reasons, real or contrived. I just hope the Chinese connection stays good and we sell him on. He's a good player in some ways but I've never yet seen him as much good for us. If he proves me wrong I'll be more than happy to admit it.

If we miss out by one goal though that penalty decision is going to hurt.
Guest Lako42 Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 This is the type of game that plays into Madrid's hands, the style they play is perfect for the scenario of this game. This ref sounds like a total bellend, I don't think I could take the injustice of another horrific refereeing display. I can't imagine he would give two shits about the crowd either if he's pulling stunts like that in Milan.
ramboacdc Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 todays shift at work is dragging and i feel sick to the pit of my stomach. i think my 3 year vomit free streak may end tonight.

Buzzell Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 I'm hoping for a lovely early goal by a Mahrez freekick and then in the second half Vardy to dive in the area to get us a pen and take us into the Semi's. Simeone then to get sent to the stands for kicking off about the dive. This would be perfect.
Mikey Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Think we'll win 2-1 and go out on away goals, unfortunately. What at an effort that would be though. Whatever happens tonight, we'll end the night being proud of our team I'm sure.
