It is pretty shocking how often those soft penalties are given at Anfield ... and Old Trafford for that matter ... we had them in both away games last season and I remain convinced that they would not have been given if the shirts were reversed ... I may just be being cynical, of course ... <laugh>
 
Would rather Liverpool win this but fair play to Leeds for their attacking intent and that’s a right goal. I’d love to see Leicester play with that intensity and intent...

Took his ankle? ... he went down like he'd had it chopped with an axe ... if somebody had bumped into him in the street like that, no way is he collapsing, minimal contact, mega collapse ... still not on a par with Mane's theatrics for the injury time winner mind <laugh>

Not quite up to speed with what constitutes a foul then Fosse. It’s not 1968 anymore bro.

I don't even know the incident you're talking about but the "if someone bumped into them in the street" analogy is always a bit weak. If a player is properly running it really doesn't take much of a clip to knock them off their stride.
