Rob Pollard from the OS

Full time
Where do you start with that?

Three penalties to Leicester and a Vardy hat trick after Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring with a wonder strike.

Massively disappointing.

a Bad day at the office by a long chalk
 
Rob Pollard confirms my thoughts about the first goal

Head scratcher
That's the maddening aspect of football.

We were so, so good at Wolves and for half an hour here today we looked superb.

But that first Leicester goal seemed to drain the confidence from us.

No time to dwell or feel sorry for ourselves though - not with trips to Burnley and Leeds to come this week.

Give Leicester credit. They came with a game plan and it has worked. What a result for Leicester City.

When Man City come off the pace and play slow they don't look the same team. When you break against Manchester City with pace they have a problem and it has shown again today.

I apologise for my wimpishness. No excuses.
Now fortified with various beverages, I am back for a short time before I probably fall down.
Colin, as always, I salute you for your dedication to duty. You put me to shame.
:tophat:
 
This new handball rule thingy.
Judging by the number of pens in these opening games, it’s a complete joke surely?
Or am I clutching at straws. :rolleyes:
 
BD where are you? You’re good at this sort of esoteric stuff. What say you.
Only respond if you’re not drunk (like me).
