Just as I was about to say they don't win by big margins and do just enough to scrape three points they go and bang in a second.

There isn't a ban on hunting them, just on hunting them on horseback, with dogs. Farmers still routinely shoot foxes.

I know but that would have been a long post just to make a silly joke.

I actually thought you could hunt on horseback but just not with dogs.

What you really mean is, Man United are crap, so I'm jumping ship and now support Leicester.

Do you even know where Manchester or Leicester are?

The question given the increased wealth of the EPL sides under the new TV deal, can others do this next season ?

Why wouldn't they be able to do it?

People said Leicester couldn't do it this year. I'm sure the new wealth of EPL clubs won't really change the EPL clubs.

It's not very often a top level referee is hated by three sets of fans. The home side, the away side, and the neutrals.

The way the game is refereed today it's almost impossible for the officials. It's supposed to be a contact sport and every contact isn't a foul and every time someone falls over doesn't mean they've been fouled or dived. Vardy didn't dive, because there was contact, but Vardy was the one who sought that contact knowing he was going nowhere, so it's not a foul either. Just play on. Same goes for the Schlupp penalty, if anything that was more of a deliberate falling over than Vardy's, but still just play on.

The grabbing and holding in the box should be penalised every time until the players stop doing it, so for me, Huth should have got a penalty and the ref got the Morgan one right. However, Huth also forearm smashed someone early in the game and I'm sure both sets of defenders were holding all game, so consistency is the key. Not something you'd associate with referees.

So much over use of the word fan.

As a neutral I've never hated a referee, because I've not cared enough to give a cabernet.

haven't seen it but if he did then GOOD. Whatever nationality they are they should be punished. However, it's still pretty clear that less Englishman dive than foreigners.

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

I know 1 isn't a trend.......
