I bet there really looking forward to Stoke & Millwall now, and without Ali 😜

Arsenal, Liverpool & Man Utd must all smell blood and are ready to pounce 😜😜

Do bans from Europe follow into leagues?

If he isn't he should be, just saw it, terrible career threatening assault.

Cheers, wasn't sure 😃

I have them at 33/1. Intersteingly this morning my cash out was at 95, it's now £98. So has done me a slight favour apparently.

Hold your nerve!

 

[Papas1982]

Hold your nerve!

With their upcoming fixtures I've no intentions yet.

Goodbye Claudio a true gent.

You gave us memories to last a lifetime, pity some of the players let you down

 

[Rlburnside]

Wembley curse strikes again, terrible tackle from Alli needs to learn to curb his temperament, let the side down badly.

We played well with ten men and gave it a go in the second half but poor over the two games against a average side.

Great turnout from the fans again.

Just caught up with the news

Shocking tackle from Alli - no excuse

And Leicester sacking Raneri shows all that is wrong in the sport

 

[Region3]

Couldn't believe it when the little banner popped up on my phone saying Ranieri had been sacked. Seems shocking at first glance but we don't know what's gone on behind the scenes.

Gent that he is, I don't think he'll spill even if he's been unfairly treated.

As for Vardy, I mentioned to my lad last night that it's like a different player to last year. He told me that Vardy has a better goals to chances ratio this season than he did last season!
I think the fact that the defence is struggling so much more this season gives them less time to play in the other half and create chances.

I don't really understand the shock of Ranieri getting the boot.
Football is a results business especially at the top level.
He, for whatever reason, hasn't produced them.
Managers are getting sacked every week because they've strung a series of defeats together, it's been happening for years..
Why is this any different to Blackburn or Birmingham.....Aside from Leicester winning the League last season..?
Last season is last season - you can't live on former glories at the expense of current form.
The only thing that can change between now and the end of the season is the manager...If the results aren't coming what else is there.?
It's a shame but it's no surprise.

Sad news about Ranieri, wins the PL for a club that has never won the top flight title in its 130+ history then gets sack less than 1 year later

It's a disgrace but he will walk away with a lot of credit and head held high.

Underlines for me how tough it is to keep winning in this league and that it should never be taken for granted.

In defence of the club if they manage to stay up then ultimately it will prove to be the right decision in the end.

i was the first to criticise Swansea when they replaced Bob Bradley a little early for my liking but new manager is getting results so fair play to them.

I can see it from both sides.

It's more the timing for me, new man, no chance to sign anyone, obviously they see keeping him as a bigger risk, but who are they going to get?

first thing I said to my lad last night was "you do not sack someone at this stage of the season unless you have someone lined up already". If they have not, then Leicester could be goin down with Sunderland and Hull.

Suggestions on the radio this morning that they want to bring in Mancini.

Gary Rowett would be my choice.

Gary Rowett would be my choice.

So a team is struggling and you think bringing in someone with no PL experience will help?

 

[Slime]

I'd get Pearson back.

I heard Hodgson mentioned on Radio 5 this morning.
Isn't Pardew available as well, then again he's just a one season trick pony.
