Leicester born and bred, but I do hope Spurs come 2nd. It might not feel it now but your season is remarkable, the youngest team in the league, this can only bode well for next season and the national team as a whole and I hope you can keep it all together and have a decent crack at it next season.
That said, I thought it was disgraceful behaviour from both teams during and after the match tonight and I hope the FA hand out some severe punishments. I think had either team kept their heads we would have had a clear winner, instead people were more interested in the 'afters' from every knock and making the slightest thing a big deal.
Could you point out the borderline red card lunges and eye gouging, stamping or little kicks after the ball had gone that the Chelsea players were guilty off???That said, I thought it was disgraceful behaviour from both teams during and after the match tonight and I hope the FA hand out some severe punishments.

Some of the "tackles" by Spurs players were bordering on assault and yet you portray it as both teams fault?

Id call it players manning up (except for CF and his hand) and character building, nothing wrong with thatSome of the "tackles" by Spurs players were bordering on assault and yet you portray it as both teams fault?
Standard football fan views:
Other team are dirty - they're dirty. Your team is dirty, they have passion and commitment.
You're buying a smaller team's star player - why wouldn't he want to come, he has to do the best for his career. A bigger team buys your star player - mercenary scumbag, where's his loyalty?
Papers report you're after a certain player - he'll be a great addition. Papers report someone is after your player - it's all paper talk.
5 mins added time and you're losing - is that all, official is an an idiot. 5 mins added time and you're winning - where did that come from, official is an idiot.
And on and on.

Costa, just for being a dirty cheating bar steward.
A few of the tackles were heavy handed but at one point I thought Pedro had died they way he "fell". Someone took a tumble and did a triple roll before jumping up and then chasing Costa who was already chasing the ref. It's like Diego Costa wanted to be the 5th, or is it 6th?, official last night.

If we didn't sell them, then yes, they would still be playing for us. Certainly Bale's contract would still be valid. Who else would he be playing for if we held his contract and we did't sell him? 
Please explain who else he would be playing for as you seem confused. "Would you have got that sort of money from anyone else? Nowhere near it"
Man United offered MORE than Real Madrid did! You don't seem to know what you're talking about and I'm not sure the point of your post. Yes we got big money for Bale & Modric (Chelsea also offered MORE than Real Madrid, so there is another example of your errors), Yes that may flatter our transfer expenditure but if we didn't sell them they'd still be playing for us or if we sold them for less, we wouldn't have had all the money to spend on the likes of Paulinho & Soldado.

Really? Thuggish sore losers is what it looked like to me. If Mikel had tackled Harry Kane like Dier tackled Hazard you would have been frothing at the mouth

And you might have had the necessary strength and depth you needed to win the league... !!If only you'd had amazing scouts and signed Shane Long and Ighalo instead?
Maybe some other team's should have considered Ighalo & Long, seeing as they have scored 15 & 10 goals respectively and cost a combined £6m. But then maybe they chose to spend £60m on a pair of forwards who have only managed 11 goals between them. Perhaps that's why they are 5th, eh?

They all shook hands afterwards and share a pint or two in the club bar (probably).
Spurs have 0 red cards this season, compared to Chelsea's 4, to put things in perspective.

They're a very resilient bunch those Chelsea lot. After all they do have to survive training with Costa every week.
I love Costa, he's the quickest box to skirmish player I've ever seen. He can be 70 yards away from a square up between 2 other players, but he'll always be the 3rd player to get involved. He's got real pace.Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
