haven't seen it but if he did then GOOD. Whatever nationality they are they should be punished. However, it's still pretty clear that less Englishman dive than foreigners.
How many foreign players got booked for diving this round of matches as opposed to Englishmen?
I know 1 isn't a trend.......
I have no idea.
As you have said, 1 is hardly indicative. I'm sure I can find one person who says I'm exceptionally good looking.

Yes it is true that less English players dive in the EPL than foreign players, that's because only about 33% of EPL players are English.

Do you think that's the only reason? No, there's always been a tradition of not diving in the English game. That is being eroded unfortunately. There's always been exceptions though, even in the 70's Dirty Leeds were know for their diving.
However, is there another nationality with greater representation in the league? Where did you get 33% from?

Funny enough, your mob will probably decide where the title goes.

I think chelsea will have more of a say than gillingham
Will be amusing to see quite a few people cheering on leicester in the Shed.
You telling me Stitch is a pikey? He kept that quiet.

Ashley Williams must be one of those that backed Leicester to win it.
Kudos to the Leicester fans singing, "Tottenham Hotspur, we're wating for you". Gave me a chuckle.

Whilst I think Leicester were value for the draw, they've definitely had the best of the ref's calls?
They must be the only side in the PL who don't give away a pen at Old Trafford
Just a shame Fellaini's elbow didn't land fair and square in Huth's chops.

Congratulations to Leicester. Best team over the journey.
Nice to see Chelsea finishing in mid table

Yep, well done. All the "rich" teams got pantsed. Will clubs review their splash cash policy in light of this though? Cant see it, but does show that heart, belief, a good manager, and a bit of luck can still go a long way.
