Erm since when is the calf connected to the head? What you blowing up for ref. Play on. They want it stopped they can kick it out.
 
100% should have been second yellow for regulon there

Was lucky not to get red straight away when he kicked the ball away seconds after being booked
 
All of the early West Ham promise has disappeared now, although obviously still leading. I'm surprised Moyes hasn't made any substitutions, he needs to change something.

Edit : I'd like custard on my humble pie please 😂
 
Fantastic win tonight..plenty of positives

Paquata back, 75 solid mins

Bowen great hatrick, had read that this was first time he had felt back to full fitness since injury in January

But still negatives

One glaring one.

Zouma. At fault for both goals. Until Moyes wakes up and realises aguard and Dinos are much better defenders we won't be solid at the back again.
 
Looking at the potential Everton and Forest points deductions from a Leicester City point of view, it’s not what deduction is appropriate. In Everton’s case it should be automatic relegation if found guilty for the 2022/23 season.

My reason for this. In the transfer window at the start of that season Leicester made no signings because having looked at the numbers they would have breached the FFP rules. We ended up getting relegated with the two teams immediately above us charged with breaching FFP. On a level playing field we would probably have stayed up. That has cost LCFC a significant amount (perhaps as much as £100m).

Why, therefore, should teams that breached the rules stay up at the expense of those that didn’t?

Everton’s breach was due to money spent on the stadium as opposed to signings , also the Forest breach’s are known after the season has finished

Leicester didn’t get relegated because of Everton and Forest

It was the same when Sheff Utd were complaining when they got relegated

It was in Leicester’s own hands

Just a curios question.
Why didn't Emery do for Arsenal what he has done for Villa.
By the way, I really enjoy watching Villa, a great side. Except when they play Brighton! 😊

A combination of timing (following wengers 20+ year term), not being backed fully when he was there, not being given enough time and him not being as good a manager as he is now (he improved for his time at Arsenal/in the prem). Certainly wasnt helped with his English being mocked at every turn too

In his shortish time there he had a 20+ unbeaten game run and got us to a European final, it wasnt all bad thats for sure
