    So you're saying that Kane had the option to stay on his feet and be honest?

    Look, I think it's a pen but lets not try and hide the fact that Kane has actively looked for the foul. He's seen that Gabriel has lazily left his boot out and Kane has opportunistically looked for it and bought the foul.

    Vardy does this and you always call him a diver for it so what's changed?

    1. The only thing rattling is the pebble in that hollow space between your ears ... your comebacks are as predictable as a **** in a wind tunnel ...but you keep on posting on a thread about Leicester City to prove your point that nobody is bothered about Leicester City...or perhaps it's me that you are feeling unrequited love for ...I'm flattered...:)

    I'm saying that only he knows that. He was moving at pace and in that situation the slightest contact can make you lose your balance.

    Show me where I've called Vardy a diver - except where he's blatantly dived.

    i was also tongue in cheek to Fosse and thanks for the comments about admiration.
    There has been a number of times people have said not even just on here that we should have stopped enjoying it that comes across very serious like they really think that. You sum it up, it is a dream. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy it enternally forever. I won't talk about it forever though as I've always thought Forest need to give it a rest so I wouldn't contradict myself.
    Fosse does have it as one line to tame the Wums though <laugh>

    I've never seen Vardy "blatantly dive" where no contact has been made.

    He's looked for the contact at times like West Ham at home but he's never outright dived and Kane did yesterday but he's never outright dived.

    For me, a striker has to be clever. Referees don't give you anything if you try to stay honest. Kane does it and you accept it, Vardy does it and you call him every name under the sun. I don't get it.

    I don't think he's saying you've said that personally.
    Do you think that would have been a penalty if it was Vardy then honestly? And even if you do, do you really think there wouldn't be an outrage calling him a cheat?

    I have a lot of time for NSIS. He is generally doing what I do myself which is defend his team and can engage in genuine discussion. More than can be said for some

    The thread is called "the Leicester city spiral watch", which is kind of telling that it is a pisstake thread. I merely entered into the spirit of the thread <laugh>
    I think I have now posted 4 times so it's hardly constant is it and believe me I'm really not bothered about Leicester?
    The fact that it seems to get you "hot under the collar" is reason enough for me to keep posting :emoticon-0135-makeu

    As I've said, show me where I've labeled Vardy a diver.

    I call a cheat a cheat. If you want a good example of cheats, look at Sane and Rashford yesterday. Both blatant dives, both deserving of a yellow card, not a penalty.

    And Kane .........


    Kane's right leg moves to the right as he goes down so as to make contact with Gabriel - surely if Gabriel fouls him then the opposite movement would have happened.

    As as I have said it was soft and too often given, but if it was Giroud (or Vardy even) everyone would be calling dive.

    Look Spurs won, they have finished above Arsenal for the first time in 22 years, and will come second in the League - go celebrate

    My dear friend...very little in this life gets me hot under the collar outside of my family ...and even close to 50 years supporting a yo-yo football team has been quite remarkably concluded after last season ...I'll always support them of course...but that "if only" dreaming is well and truly put to bed ... I enjoy the fun on here and, in particular, winding up a few... from time to time:)

    Gabriel clearly left a leg in there, he was late with the tackle. There was contact and Kane went over. Clear penalty.

    I've not heard one pundit say it was anything other than a penalty. Even Wrighty admitted it was.

    And I want us to be first, not second. Unlikely this year, but we'll keep working at it.

    Still a pen ...but you are quite right ...Harry makes sure there is contact between the legs ...he may well have learnt that whilst on loan at Leicester City :)

    It's an obvious foul. Not as obvious as Sanchez's handball a little later though, admittedly.

    Your biggest challenge will be keeping the key players...particularly Dele Alli who enhances his credentials to the big boys continuously atm ...

    So you would have been happy if it was given against Spurs
