How many foreign players got booked for diving this round of matches as opposed to Englishmen?

I know 1 isn't a trend.......
I have no idea.

As you have said, 1 is hardly indicative. I'm sure I can find one person who says I'm exceptionally good looking.

Yes it is true that less English players dive in the EPL than foreign players, that's because only about 33% of EPL players are English.

Do you think that's the only reason? No, there's always been a tradition of not diving in the English game. That is being eroded unfortunately. There's always been exceptions though, even in the 70's Dirty Leeds were know for their diving.

However, is there another nationality with greater representation in the league? Where did you get 33% from?

I never like Dartfrord personally. Always had a soft spot for Fisher Athletic.

:lol: Ashley Williams must be one of those that backed Leicester to win it.

Kudos to the Leicester fans singing, "Tottenham Hotspur, we're wating for you". Gave me a chuckle.

Whilst I think Leicester were value for the draw, they've definitely had the best of the ref's calls?

They must be the only side in the PL who don't give away a pen at Old Trafford :lol:

Just a shame Fellaini's elbow didn't land fair and square in Huth's chops.

Don't forget Lamela for stamping, or Dier for his horrendous tackle on Hazard.
A fantastic achievement by Leicester. A season for the ages.

Yep, well done. All the "rich" teams got pantsed. Will clubs review their splash cash policy in light of this though? Cant see it, but does show that heart, belief, a good manager, and a bit of luck can still go a long way.

Well done Leicester, be interesting to see if the 'Rich clubs" swoop for players like Vardy and Mahrez and break up their squad.

You don't need to support a team to recognise the magnitude of their achievement.
