I salute your optimism, however I fear a more serious spanking is on the cards.

But I do continue to retain a sliver of optimism that a Man City type performance is still a possibility, if they can try and forget about their league performances and concentrate on what has got them to this point.

Anyway whatever happens it's a historic night for LCFC and I shall try to enjoy it, I just hope the tie isn't over and done with by the time Sevilla come to the KP because we've got tickets for that.

Feels like a win that. Amazing what relief can do.

Agreed that feels almost like a win. I feared the worst tonight after our run of form against a quality side with a great record at home.

Second half was a decent performance and the players put a real shift in tonight which has been missing for a while. Not a great performance, and we massively rode our luck combined with a fantastic game from Schmeichel and the woodwork, but better than I've seen for some time.

Gray has to be given a starting position in the team, I know he gets stick for being a bit selfish but he made the difference tonight as he has done regularly recently.

Negatives - Musa offered nothing and was criticised by the pundits for the 1st goal, Drinkwater in the 1st half went backwards with every pass but improved drastically after the substitution, and Morgan, Huth and Fuchs were poor. Simpson on the other hand is always massively exposed with Musa/Mahrez in front of him and did ok, one particular challenge was fantastic.

Game on, amazingly we're still in it smile

Same team as the second half against Liverf*ckingpool for me Monday night...

Hopefully it will give them a kick up the ass if we drop into the bottom 3 this weekend.

That's a shame. The players have let him and the club down big time this season.

Feel for the manager as he led them to the greatest victory football has seen in terms of surprise and the players are letting him down. A real shame, but he can claim to be a great manager after pulling off the Premier League title when all around said it would never happen.

That is everything wrong with football today.

He dragged a tin-pot club and squad of pub players to the Premier League title. He dragged them to the last 16 of the Champions League - and they still have every chance of going through. They should be erecting a statue of the man, not firing him.

If (and I really hope they do now) they get relegated, the players have let the club and fans down - it's almost like they've achieved more than they ever thought possible and have given up.

Ungrateful b******s.

What a sad ending to a great story. Ranieri should have been allowed to 'retire' with dignity at the end of the season, even if the club was relegated.

Mille grazie, Claudio.

Such a fickle sport.

Actually make that a fickle business because that's what it is these days.

Nothing more.

Thought I'd seen most things in footy but this is ridiculous. Ranieri doesn't deserve that. Dreadful decision.
