Just a thought. How can it be right that some teams have 3 home games out of the last four and only one away. I know everyone plays the same home and away overall, but at the business end of the season, I think that is a slight unfair advantage.

The fixtures are generated randomly. Some teams will have a good run in and others **** ones. And the game tonight and last night were rearranged remember.
 
Pearson: "For the players to have to deal with so much criticism is testament to us all."

Journalist: "What criticism are you referring to Nigel, that your players received that you don't think is right?"

Then he goes off on one.

It isn't great from him at all, but it is after a game, late at night and at the end of a press conference so he is obviously hacked off. Not excusing it, but he's under pressure.

Yeah, I hear you, but he has a track record of reacting inappropriately. If it was a one off you'd understand, by this is pretty much a constant now...

I haven't included those games. All teams have their last arranged four games with a three to one ratio. I don't think that is fair at this time of the season, random or not. I'm not on about the opposition, but the home/away ratio.

When you are paid lots of money to do a high pressures job, you should expect some pressure.

<laugh>

I kinda get the feeling that Pearson forgot what question he was asked a few seconds into his rant.
"I cant believe you're asking me..that question" x10
He's talking in such a strange and stilted way that I'm certain he forgot whatever he was acting outraged about but was in too deep to stop.

I agree that this seems a bit unfair as looking at this quickly it seems that out of the top 7 only us (3 away and 1 home) and Chelsea (3 home and 1 away) have this ratio.

Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs all have the 'normal' 2 home and 2 away (with Arsenal having an extra re-arranged home game).

I just don't understand why he is reacting like that, he's done really well to have got the Foxes in with a shout of staying up, is it just distraction tactics or is he just proper mental? Confused.

Proper mental. Remember he did grab a (villa?) Players neck. Then laughed it off saying it was a joke.
