Leicesters injuries piling up so could be touch & go

Yeah, that's true. They've got a kind enough run for the next few weeks (and a terrible run in), so I suppose it partly depends on how quickly they can get people back. After everything, a top four of City, United, Liverpool and Chelsea isn't nearly as fun as City, United, Leicester and West Ham.

Is the media obsessed with City winning the quadruple?​

Is the media obsessed with City winning the quadruple?

Or is this just a feeling? Every year there seems to be stories about how City could potentially win the lot, I never remember them talking up anybody else's chances, not for us, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. It seems like there's a real desire to see it happen.

More like the media keeps spouting the near on impossible so when we don’t achieve it they will undermine the achievements we do in that season because we didn’t win it. That’s why the media mention the quadruple with City.

At the same time they're shit cared of us and rightly so

Yeah. I just wonder what the narrative would be if we did win the lot? Pretty sure they would find something negative to undermine our achievements.

MOTD have had a 5 minute inquest on the non pen, as you say they can't win important games without var help

The little vidoe clip on the Daily Mail web site seems to indicate that both the Chelsea and rags players arms touched the ball, perhaps that was the impression that Attwell got.

IF we did win the lot the BBC SPOTY winning team would be the Scottish women's curling team and the coach of the year will be a minority sports coach no one has heard of

I know we're 12 clear but we should have bummed the soul out of this lot on December

Hopefully we leave the lube at home next weekend

I know the handling law has become significantly more complicated since VAR, but as far as I'm aware, it still has to be deliberate unless it's part of the run-up to a goal or it prevents a goal. All the 'silhouette' stuff is just a guideline to help the ref decide if it's deliberate. In which case, even if it did hit the Chelsea guy's arm first, there's no way it was clearly deliberate (and no way you'd overturn the onfield no-penalty decision).

The larger point here though, is how desperate it makes OGS look. It's one thing to be fuming about a non-call when it prevents a chance to score, but there was no danger whatsoever in this case. He literally just wanted the ref to give them a goal for nothing.

The other interpretation (as mentioned several times already) is that his 'anger' was a cynical and premeditated attempt to influence the refs going forward. On the bright side, perhaps it's a good sign that he feels he has to do this publicly - wasn't this done with a bottle of wine and a brown envelope in days gone by?

All the waffle about the "nailed on pen" has drowned out the question of how McTomminay can kick Mason Mount in the head at head height with a move Bruce Lee would have been proud of and get a free kick because he touched the ball first.. Should have been a free kick to Chelsea and McTominey should have been booked for dangerous play in the first place

Booked?
