MOTD2, BBC One 22:30

[LeicesterGull]

Oh - right, thanks. I was only half-listening as I sort of switched off a bit to another moan being trotted out.

The players caught the plane, it was the coaching staff that went by a luxurious coach…so the players can’t have been tired.

Ian Wright's analysis of Gross:

"He's been at the heart of everything they do...he's quality...he's able to see a pass."

"Very clinical...now he's getting a lot more forward."

"If he carries on like that, they're going to have a good season."

That decision which went against Palace at 0-2 was absolutely ridiculous in my virw. Is it really the case that a striker can't stick out s leg in that situation? Looks like another case of the big clubs getting the decisions to me.

Not that I'm sticking up for Palace or anything, it's just another inexplicable, game-changing decision going against a 'small club' when facing one of the 'big six'.Similarly, the three handballs in one movement which McTwat got away with at Southampton today and the Leicester goal ruled out at 0-0 at Chelsea.

Apparently the ball has to be fully released 20 away from the keepers hands or something so that was a free kick on that basis. Looked fine on first look though I agree.

A bit brief in terms of highlights I thought.

Anyone else thinking about watching later tonight?

I'm expecting nothing less than Albion to be praised to the rafters.

And I really don't care how needy this might appear!

It's as likely to be as much about poor old Brendan and Leicesters woes.

Or G/Ps next club. This fixture had banana skin written all over it. Even worse after the first minute.

I'm not sure he'll have one, If he leaves us it'll be for England.

Don't we know it. As much going into how crap Leicester were as 'not taking anything away from Brighton', how good we are.

Predictable that we are not on first.

And we're last game on, after scoring 5 goals

 

[BN41Albion]

Ah, I see a few of the ultra-needy folk are here already. Motd have sung our praises loads this season (and last). I'm sure they will do tonight, too.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Top of the bill? United vs Arsenal. Bollocks. Not surprising but poor.

ManUre v Arse would always be first even if it was the dullest 0-0 in living memory.

 

[Hugo Rune]

That VAR overturned Arsenal goal is obscene. Similar contact to that received by March for Leicester’s first!

Last out of two games... the other is united - arsenal, one of the biggest games of the season generally over the PL years.

Yep. I reckon we’d have had to have won 10-0 to get top billing.

I thought exactly the same. The difference was the mass protest which persuaded the ref and VAR to intervene. Clearly bollox.

Another example of my pet hate in terms of the offside rule in the Man Utd Arsenal game. United's third goal, the ball is played to Erickson who is onside, but he's behind Rashford, who would have been offside had he come into play at that point. They both run on and Erickson passes to a now onside Rashford, who scores. The rules somehow say that Rashford isn't interfering with play despite him obviously gaining an advantage by giving the defenders two attackers to cover. The bloke who ends up scoring isn't interfering with play, not like a bloke swiping at and missing the ball before a defender makes a clearing header and someone hits a wonder strike from the resulting clearance. The rules need changing.
