If these penalty awards continue through the season somebody is going to break Dixie Dean’s record.

Agreed.

All three of those Leicester penalties were created by cheating, not the opponents foul.

They need to go back to favouring the defenders and only giving penalties when a foul stops a genuine goal scoring chance.

With the stupid hand ball rule now they're giving penalties like confetti.

Football has lost the plot.

Maddison nearly escaped Earth’s gravitational pull...

If it carries on like this the BBC might as well combine the classified football results with the National Lottery.

But it's going to benefit us. I've already pointed out somewhere else that we have great runners who will take advantage of those nudges and go sprawling in a heap in the area, notably Lamptey and Connolly. We just need refs that don't favour the big teams (at least until we become a big team!).

Loved the early kick off meant I didnt have to set the alarm for 02:30. Instead dinner, glass of wine and settled in for 21:30 kick off. My partner is a Manure fan and even she celebrated our second goal, and was screaming at the ref to blow the whistle :lol:

Think I might change by BTTS accy bets to penalty awarded accy bets. 20 pens in 26 matches is mental :mad:

Their 26 points from 2018/19 looks a long, long way to go right now.

They do look dangerous going forward, Ironically it looks like they are trying to employ the same tactic of manic games where they try and out score teams, I’m surprised that Scott Parker sets up his team in such a manner, I always had him down as someone who would be a cautious manager, ala Hughton.

Grealish just moved across in front of his marker and drew the foul, clever play that is. I wonder why we don't do that?

If we don't do the double over them this season I'll be disappointed (feel free to bounce this thread in December once they've put 4 past us at Craven Cottage again):wrong:
