Poor ball from Tiote there. Ayoze looks shattered.

Linesman again man

Close. Great cross from Andros.

Should be a booking if the Leicester game was anything to go by.

Superb from Chancel there.

Need Tiote to stay on man. He's been big so far.

Linesman didn't even flag that for a foul

He's been full of running to his credit but his touch has been pretty poor.

Zabaleta's onside there Linesman wants sacked.

VURNON! WHAT A GOAL!

Great run Sissoko. Right to shoot imo but poor finish.

Why on earth is Cisse marking Aguero ffs. Edit: mile offside

Cisse close.

City will try to kill this in the first 45 so they can drop down the gears in the second and bring Aguero, de Bruyne etc off after an hour or so. If we can hold out for longer, we could make this quite awkward for them.

Spurs are a far superior side IMO. Lost twice to Leicester. I reckon Spurs win the title as the nerves get to Leicester but if Spurs don't win it - they'll have lost it because they lost to Leicester twice. They did lose twice right? There was very little to call between the two sides in that particular game though, certainly not to the point where you can say it shows that Leicester are the better side. IIRC Leffe thought that Leicester had the rub of the green throughout and nicked a goal from a late set piece. Also worth noting that Spurs beat Leicester in the FA Cup, albeit over a replay. Don't get me wrong, Leicester are clearly the real deal and deserve to be where they are. I don't know though; I have a lot of respect for how Spurs have more or less played with the same style/system all season whereas Leicester have resorted - with justification admittedly - to grinding out 1-0 wins over the last couple of months. I thought they were pretty poor when we lost to them for Rafa's first game. Spurs on the other hand have sustained that relentless pressing game over 50+ games this season and have rarely gotten away with a poor performance in the same manner. It's a matter of perspective I guess, but Spurs have impressed me much more than Leicester this season.

Tough s***, he's a striker, he scores loads of goals. Apologies mate, I won't dare pass an opinion on Lord Kane again. Scores just as I type, class I didn't mean to you, just to his teammates!

As good as Kane is, he doesn't get his head up an awful lot to pick the best pass. Had a great chance to thread Lamela in there.

Great to see that Pards is persevering with the rank idea of converting Bolasie into a centre forward.

Pen for Leicester

Clear dive, you don't go that high up in the air by a tackle or being tripped. Well there's a difference between exaggerating contact and diving. I thought that there was a tangle of the legs and that, along with the pressure from the defender, put him off balance. Not saying it was a foul by Ogbonna either by the way, rather a fairly innocuous coming-together in the penalty box. He caused the contact! It's diving if you throw your body into another person and fall over! Bunch of modern day football mugs. He hardly 'throws' his body into Ogbonna. He plants his foot in between the defender's legs and the ball and their momentum carries them over. Players put themselves in between the ball and the other player all the time. FWIW, I didn't say in my original post that it unequivocally wasn't a dive, but the incident's ambiguous enough to not warrant the yellow card imo. The ball was on the other side What? It's on Vardy's left side. Vardy plants his right foot into Ogbonna's path, thereby putting his body in between the defender and the ball. Away from the direction of the ball, totally un natural and only done to try and con the referee into giving a penalty. Correct decision. The defender didn't even try to make a tackle or even change his stride. If you're attempting to shield the ball from the defender then you're naturally going to move from the direction of the ball. I'm not necessarily saying that this was Vardy was trying to do, but it's not a clear dive imo - and if there's sufficient room for doubt then play should be left to continue.
