Interesting that a style of play derided for years has been lauded all season and actually see's a team such as ours potentially winning the BPL. Show's how important it is to have more in your locker than just 'tiki taka'.Although Vardy's antics at the weekend have soured the fairy tale a bit.
My love affair with Leicester ended on the night they visited WHL. I just couldnt believe just how dirty they were, Huth esp, in the pen area, shirt pulling blocking you name it it was done and they really knew just how close to illegal they could go. It was no surprise on Sun to see a ref man up to all that b
ks that i only first witnessed that night,who know how long before that it had been going on? The media appear to overlook this aspect of their game, how they can miss it being so called experts on the game. I like the fact that they are pushing the money boys out of the top four.no problem with that at all. There are good players Mahrez, Allbrighton, totally different than when at AV. Yet this dirty play just doesnt seem right, But mud Sticks Huth was a clogger at Chelsea, honed his skills under Pulis at Stoke and is now infecting Leicester. Even as a Spurs supporter i would love to see Raneiri do one over Chelsea, thats the love affair back for me, but will it happen? Will Spurs break a hoodoo Will the lack of Vardy have an effect, will squeaky bum time come for both teams? looking at Spurs i think there are 9 points there, although i had them for a draw last night. It may just boil down to the goal leicester scored that night and the one spurs didnt. Still it is going to be a good last four games , i just dont want Huth and co going all postal about it. Thre are potential bananas at ManU and even the Everton game, just depends who turns up. The next four games are going to be interesting no doubt about that

A ref finally decides to act in the 34th game of the season? ks that i only first witnessed that night,who know how long before that it had been going on?Sorry, but this wrestling in the penalty box at set pieces has been going on for quite some time - by every single team.
And on Sunday, West Ham were just as guilty as Leicester.
Huth & Morgan aside, Leicester are actually a pretty small team.
That was simply an appalling refereeing performance, from one of the worst officials in the game.

Yes it surprised me as well, but perhaps he though enough is enough and did something.
The next thing they should enforce is the 6 second rule
And do goalies for timewasting at the beginning of the game not in the 93rd minute. Esp when the ball goes out on the LH side of the pitch and they take an age putting it on the RH side to kick it.
Amend the rule so it is the same as corner kicks
simple and will speed the game up

The "steps" or "time" thing with a goalie is only useful if an opposition player is in his face giving him grief.
Otherwise the goalie can just roll the ball along the ground for a couple of feet, pick it up and start again.
erm, no he can't. Once a keeper has handled the ball he can't put it down then pick it up again?Otherwise the goalie can just roll the ball along the ground for a couple of feet, pick it up and start again.
