It looked like Leicester should have had a penalty for handball in the first half. but the referee also allowed a lot of physical stuff from Leicester players. There was a foul on Özil before the first goal and Leicester players had more or less carte blanche to wrestle Lacazette to the ground. So I'm sure we can agree the referee was terrible.
Chris Kavanagh was the referee. Never seen him before. would be happy never to see him again. lolloped a lot. didn't control the game. clearly not respected by either team.
Horrible news. Casts a shadow of sadness over the whole season. I went to university at Leicester (albeit 30 years ago now) and their Premiership win was the best thing to happen to football for decades. Best wishes to club and community.
It's been deleted, whatever it was. Possibly the seemingly false rumour that Puel was on board?
There is a photo kicking around of people boarding the copter, though whether it's from last night is unclear. The only face I recognise from that is Srivaddhanaprabha.
Thoughts for the Leicester fans on here. Horrific pictures of the ensuing fireball.
Watching Match of the Day, I was struck by how good a broadcaster Gary Lineker has become. There aren’t many ex-footballers who could have followed the post-football career trajectory that he did.
Lineker has done well to stay at the beeb, which for its faults has meant him working alongside some very experienced presenters and producers. They have quite a knack of turning ex-pros into very good presenters, I always think of Sue Barker as another shining example. It helped of course that from day one Lineker's reputation as a world class player was unquestioned as was his likeability as a player on the pitch. I doubt even Arsenal fans disliked him.

Yes, MotD really couldn't have set the mood and tone better than they did last night and I imagine Lineker played a big part in that on and off the screen.
He also got the tone absolutely right on Channel 4's Stand up to Cancer this week, describing his oldest son's battle against leukaemia but largely focusing on the numerous children who weren't as lucky as his son.
This tweet seems incredibly unwise. Either he was given info in confidence and released it without authorization or he was tweeting speculation as fact. I infer it was the former because the events are unfolding as he predicted.
