Also, we were totally dominant for the first half hour, so some of the comments about us being rubbish seem to forget this.

Leicester players constantly in the refs face

Ninian linesman missed the offside prior to the Bamba ‘handball’- no surprise, he was feckin useless


We don’t have anything like the arial dominance we had in the Championship
Someone e-mailed me this morning mentioning the Bamba handball incident and he said that Vardy was played onside because the ball reached him off a City player. Having now seen the incident on the club website, I'd say he was right because the ball comes off Etheridge thereby playing Vardy onside..

if you mean me about the rubbish comment, I did mention we were the better side for the first quarter of the game, but we were virtually non existent as an attacking force after that, Leicester were able to win nearly all of the 50/50s, they continuously passed the ball through us while retaining possession for long periods and when we finally did get the ball, we passed it straight back to them. We finished the game playing "parks football" - as you say, we don't have the aerial dominance we did have in the Championship, yet pumping the ball up in the air towards Paterson, Madine, Ward, Morrison etc was the sum total of our attacking ploys during the last fifteen minutes or so of the game.
