It would be like Atalanta winning a league where each moderate club has 10 times as much money as any small Serie A club, with Juventus, Napoli, Milan and Inter all being a joke, and Fiorentina providing a close challenge.

I don't get these referees that willingly make their lives impossible.

This ref in the Leicester match goes out of his fucking way to send off Vardy. He knows a second yellow sends him off. He knows the first one was dubious as well. Mate, you have to be fucking positive it's a dive or you've just screwed the match.

Is it a rush of blood or trying to be a hero? I don't know what goes into that decision. There is no one on earth that will give him stick for not sending off Vardy even if it was a dive.

Then the mistakes just keep compounding from there and ultimately ends with him evening the match with one of the most shocking penalty decisions I can remember on Carroll.

That penalty was a 100% making-up-for-past-mistakes penalty.

He knew he fucked Leicester up royally on about 4 seperate dubious decisions, so he's gotta give 'em back something.

If anything he should have given a penalty on 'Ogbonna's arms on Huth's shoulder, preventing him from jumping' episode a couple of minutes earlier. It'd have are least made sense since it was similar to Morgan/Reid episode.

Yes he should have, in addition to both Vardy yellow cards and the West Ham penalty being 50/50 decisions that all went in West Ham's favour.

But he probably knew this, and used the Carroll incident to make up for all of that. It's not allowed technically, but especially considering the Ogbonna incident literally a minute ago, the overall outcome is much fairer than without the wrong call.

Hiddink says the players are not doing their best because they are saving themselves for the Euros. Disgusting bunch of mercenaries.

Also who gets to be in the Euros? they have very few good european players and if they do any worse than they have been doing so far (Pedro, Fabregas, Hazard) they should be banned from their NT for life.

Conte is going to kick some butt when he gets there. I see a major shakeup coming in the summer. I think Scolari just recently in a interview said that there was a serious issue with the players acting out if they were played in an unwanted position or otherwise not treated like royalty.

Some of the English media also thinks that now that Conte comes Terry might have a future there because Conte wants to have a "good leader" in the team. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Contes decision in the first place to get rid of that douchebag.

I'm not sure. I agree that he'll need leaders, and it's hard to buy them. But it's definitely a transitional season for Chelsea. As usual the PL clubs are too dumb to see that they need to do this one year earlier.
