I love Premiership but I swear to god, this league has some of the worst referees in the world. How is that not a penalty on Huth? LOL.

Leicester can finish the league with 82 points (four games left).
Spurs can finish the league with 80 points (five games left).

I have a funny feeling that Spurs may win it.

Leicester won't win all 4 games. No way.

Ref really not favoring Leiceister in this match. Not horrible calls, but every decision the ref had to make went against Leiceister.

Yep that was a pen. Huth got away with this earlier as well.

Man they really have to introduce video review. It cannot be that the champion of a entire premier league season is largely decided by one man who has to make his decisions in split seconds at full speed.

This happened today at Ajax - FC utrecht.

PSV could have gone up to 1st place, but the referee gave a crazy undeserved penalty and now Ajax and PSV are both on 1st place with the goal difference in Ajax's favor. 3 games left until the end.
 
Well, thanks for killing football, West Ham...

As a Rangers fan I feel really happy today. We've not had a lot to feel happy about in the last four years, but Warburton has done a great job and this is the cherry on top.

Now let's focus on beating Hibs in the final and (hopefully) getting into Europe (IIRC there's a rule that says Championship teams can't qualify or something).

Also: stay safe GlasgowGAF.

I had no idea Rangers were so high up again.

So now Leicester can finish with 83 points. What are the goal differences? :lol

edit: Wait that can't be right. They now have 73 points so they can finish with 85 with four games remaining.

Leicester did nothing but play dirty that game, when Vardy got sent off, I though Finally, we might have a half decent ref for our match, but no, Huth was still on the pitch without a card.

It's a shame because usually watching Leicester play, they play well without having to try and pull every trick in the book, the penalty at the end shows how lucky they were today more than anything.

Good luck to them winning the league because Tottenham winning it would be a disaster, but in no way were they hard done by the ref today.

One penalty against Leicester is enough don't you think?

Correct call on Vardy - a stupid piece of play from him. Took ages to go off the field but, because he's not Diego Costa, he won't get done with an extended ban.

When is the soonest Leicester could seal the the title? Really can't wait for next season to see how it shapes up.
 
Half of me feels really relieved for Ulloa getting us the equaliser but the other half of me hates John Moss for absolutely ruining this match.

When you have to get escorted off the pitch by a security detail you know you've fucked up.

So how would you say he fucked it up?

Vardy banned for 1 match?

Dropping 2 points at home and with away visits to Chelsea and Manu...i guess the fall of Leicester is now.

Spurs is going to win it because they have a younger and more talented squad. Poor arsenal...

I can see Spurs getting 10 points more, so finishing on 75.
I can see Leicester getting 6 points, so finishing on 79.

Here we go again.

#CampaignAgainstChelsea

Would have been interesting reading your posts while Suarez was demonised at every turn in a Liverpool shirt.

No campaign against us - been shit start to finish.

First yellow for Vardy was never a yellow, penalty for West Ham was bullshit, we should of had one straight after.

Like I said he gave us a really soft one at the end, but that didn't make up for how terrible he was.

The gif above is a pretty obvious foul as well, not given.

Absolute earliest would be 25th April, if Spurs lose tomorrow and then to West Brom on the 25th, but only if Leicester beat Swansea. This is quite unlikely but it does show you that there is more work for Spurs in this race.

Pen for West Ham was because Morgan and Huth were warned about 10 times. So nothing wrong with that.

Vardy's first yellow was 50/50.

Ogbonna on Huth was a pen yep.

Ref was bad for both sides. I don't know how he missed Huth's shoulder barge on Reid.

And even i am moderately surprised
Correct call on Vardy - a stupid piece of play from him.

he made a huge meal of it but the pull back is the foul that would be a penalty but the free clearly doesn't see it.

Vardy also got thrown to the floor in an at a least as bad as Huth challenge in the first half.

Then we get to the fact original ref Friend was replaced because the FA wanted to avoid giving Leicester any unfair advantage - but surely the second you say that then any ref taking over has that thought planted in their head?

I honestly think they've opened up a huge can of worms here.

please also note : Friend is a Bristol City fan who lives in Leicester.... could you imagine the difficulty if a London based ref couldn't manage Spurs? And .... do we now go back and examine every referee appointed?

it's dumb - i thought Vardy was unlucky to be sent off - i thought he made a meal of it but the second the hand touches him he has the right to go down. As for the Westham penalty - i dunno - saw much worse throughout the game though West Ham player did well to draw the refs attention to it but yeah - on any other day it would have been a pen to Leicester and nothing for West ham
