Ranieri has a lot of pressure on him. People are expecting them to fall off but I think they have a lot of substance in their team. They are 2nd in the Premierleague after 20 games for goodness sake and if they beat Spurs in the league then they will have one hand on a top 4 spot surely.
In all honesty I think Ranieri has always been pretty laid back & yes Leicester have exceeded all expectations this season.
However, you cannot tell me that other managers would have been as relaxed and refusing to condemn the referee for giving the penalty?

He actually said what the players said about it.

I agree with this. Pressure or not it he could have easily questioned it as it was one of those that sometimes you get and sometimes you dont. Chalk and cheese with our last manager.
Ranieri always seemed a decent sort.
As for his team, Spurs will be too strong for them , and they will probably fall away over the second half of the season, but have done themselves proud to reach the hieghts they managed.
I expect Leicester City to get top 4 if they beat Spurs midweek.

Ranieri I like a lot, very humble manager. Just for the record though it was a very clear penalty.

What about if Spurs win, do you expect them to get Top Four?
Think Leicester will finish somewhere between 6th and 9th, which is still an acheivement for them.

Whilst I agree that Claudio is a gentleman and quite refreshing, it is pretty easy for him to be laid back at the moment. The is zero pressure on him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ridiculous comment. So managers only question refereeing decisions if they're under pressure? Genius.

Nothing to do with pressure, all to do with the type of person he is.
Could you ever imagine, Fergie or Wenger or that complete and utter KNUT Mourinho saying that.
And obviously there is so little pressure on him compared with teams who are expected with teams who are expected to be up there.

Hafi, are you still being 'torn a new one' on your own board?
I look forward to his post-match interviews, I confess

Don't you think that's somewhat patronising?
We are second in the table for a reason - why must we fall away, is it because we're little Leicester City and don't deserve to mix it with the big clubs?

But it was according to Madley and that's what counts.

Nah it's because we don't have a good enough squad and without Vardy and Mahrez we're nothing 😉

Having not known where the ball is, can't be deliberate therefore can't be a penalty. Simple rules!

Looking away and throwing your arm it could be a deceptive tactic, but intentional all the same.
Very tough to call, but he moved is arm and the ball moved away. It's not like those where the ball is blasted at a defender and it hits their hand from a short distance.
