As for the rat Dewsbury-Hall, it doesn't take a genius to predict that his team will win the league. Pretty sure even slowpoke called it at the start of the season

Was he playing in a different game?

"Very disappointed. I felt like that was a game we didn't deserve to lose. First half, created a lot of chances, probably should have been more goals in front."

Think they had one chance in the first half and that was after we played ourselves into trouble.

The sour grapes . You were hammered there's no denying it. Not a level playing field when you start off with £100M more than anyone else. Still let's see where both clubs are in a couple of seasons. Your lot were shit today

Winks would have to have sent himself off as he was reffing the game while that other bloke in black blew the whistle for him.

One chance with I think Casadei (?) going just past the post that I remember. We went closer with Saka 5 mins in and were clearly on top the first 25 mins. Got to the point up until the penalty I wasn’t worried about them at all. They never had control and barely threatened us from open play.

He made one just before he came off that could've got him a second yellow

The one on KDH? Maybe with the shit game this ref was having but not a chance for me, didn’t even catch him at all and in a nothing area of the pitch.

That’s what got Maresca booked right?

Mad that for “just another game” we have loads of opposing fans creating accounts and posting on here. That doesn’t really happen for any of our other games. Why are there so many Leicester fans on here @astleyfox ? You don’t have very many fans in real life, so what’s the reason?

It was from our attack and they were breaking , Kasey got nowhere near the ball and was fortunate in my opinion not to get a second yellow

The Dewsbury-Hall post match interview is some of the purest accidental comedy gold I have seen in some time. I wish I could inject it straight into my veins. It’s great, funny, cringeworthy, embarrassing.

Fortunately the ref at that point had probably remembered that Harry Winks had made 37 fouls previously and only been given a yellow, so Kasey was rightly let off. If you’re going to keep your cards in your pocket, do it for everyone (apart from Fatawu).

What a great result today.

We were one down wth about 11 minutes to go and fought to the very end. We didn't even go very defensive - the way Leicester did - when we went a goal up.

Very proud of the lads. MR is putting a really good squad together. There seems to be a great team spirit as well.

Especially when you clock their reaction to the penalty. Winks looks like he's celebrating a CL winner.

How is that hyperbole? Nothing over the top at all. Every decent manager in the league would have Leicester 1st with that squad and money spent.

Genuinely shocked at how badly they’ve taken this loss. How absolutely embarrassing for all involved with their club.

For a Manager to create a bizarre half arsed conspiracy and their “star player” to act like a a petulant child is mental.

Spoilt and entitled team who have made themselves look very unprofessional and bitter.

Irony is, they were celebrating basic defending like they’d won the league today; shielding a ball out or making a tackle were greeted with over the top excitement and celebration from their players and fans.

It doesn't always work like that. It's been a great appointment by them. They didn't look like conceding till they did. I can understand why he said he was happy with their performance

So where was the hyperbole in the comment you replied to?

if Maresca manages games like he did today, they’ll get taken apart in the Prem, regardless of ref decisions. Even their fans were amazed by how poor he handled today.

Well there is when you then claim the opposing team are over celebrating the fact they’ve won the game.

That’s won - after coming from behind against league leaders in a “derby” - not shielding the ball out for a goal kick with 20 minutes left to play.

What a game, problem was they thought they just had to turn up, they didn’t account for the fact we wanted it more, every single player gave it everything, when the team
sheet went up i feared the worst but robins seems to get the best out of whatever team we put out,

That he will get taken apart in prem. By all accounts he looks like a decent manager and learning from pep always helps.

Your just having a go cos he's Leicester manager.

Fair enough, your threshold for what is “hyperbole” is a lot lower than mine. Every game next season in the Prem will be tougher than this one, we’ll see how he does when his squad isn’t a league/level above the competition.
