Sergio is my fantasy team captain. He knows a thing or two about this sort of occasion.

Now that's a very interesting video. I hadn't really studied it before, because I was too caught up in the sheer euphoria, like everyone else. Freeze it at exactly 2.21. you will see that Leicester have nine men (not counting Schmeichel) between Vin, the ball and the net. We have five — Leroy, who's calling for it right through the action, expecting a cross out to him, Merlin, Sergio, Raz and Bernardo. What's interesting is how beautifully balanced the distance is between our five players, spread right across their box and indeed beyond it. Leicester should have a stifling numerical advantage, but because of that balance, we're pulling them out of shape, creating the hole in the centre. It's all very well to say that the Leicester players should come and shut Vinnie down, but when you've got the likes of Kun and Raheem right next to you, not to mention Dave lurking just onside, you have to be thinking about two things at once. Yes, it's a wonder strike, but it's the understanding between the team that creates the conditions for it.

exactly, been saying for awhile, exploiting this space, our mids and backs should be shooting more often. it's very rarely a bad play to put it at the net.

I wasn’t crying Michael as I was too busy dodging bottles and bricks trying to get back to our coach. At the time I felt, as a 16 year old, that we would be back the year after. That didn’t work out well did it.

You were lucky to be there! I went to the first game but my mam wouldn't let me go to a night game at Wembley!

And the linesman doesn’t rule them out for being “hit at an unsporting pace toward goal”.

A quote from Paulo Coelho. Thought this might help people to calm down. Believe because we are better.

I like this quote directed at the noise coming out of Brighton....

Would anyone take an Aguero QPR moment again but maybe a few seconds later??

does the UK saying "cheeky monkey" apply here?

I jinx the city players when I put them in my fantasy team, I'd take him out full stop mate.

Seems they’ve been involved with something at the stadium.

Pep has gone mad if that is the team he is putting out against Brighton.

Great kits, though.
