More expensive to get Bournmouth Smiley

i was only watching on a live stream.

Bournemouth defended well and play some tidy stuff. Up to 8th i see, and improving season on season in so far as i can tell.

Same old problems for us. Midfield playing a 4-4-2 neither protecting the back four enough or creating much going forward. Away form is terrible

Stoke away on Saturday, which isn't any easier.

Schmeichel back will help, his understudy isn't the organiser he is.

Drinkwater has a swollen knee, and is missed desperately

Sevilla then

could have been a lot worse, and a lovely city to visit too

something to look forward to (ticket allocation permitting)

Try and go, even if you can't get a ticket. Slightly different circumstance but I really loved it there.

Was going to say the same thing.

direct flights gatwick to Seville doubled in price yesterday

so time for some investigation

ended up East Mids to Malaga for £35 return.

2 hour bus is £18 one way down the coast, then back the next morning

seville b and b booked (i say b and b, its a 14th century renaissance palace for £55 a room per night)

now just need a match ticket!

Another good way there is via the Algarve, not a bad drive over.

Faro or Malaga is 2 hours away, so either is fine and plenty more flights from plenty more places than seville direct

An alternative route Tighty is Gatwick - Almeria and then you can get a direct flight from Almeria - Seville?

I've used Almeria airport and it's quite small but new. Very easy to get round and an overnight there will be cheap as chips that time of year.

A great point that

2-0 down at half time with 10 men, apparently really good second half. Demarai gray deserves more game time, helped change the game today

interested to see the red card and penalty decisions later, both very controversial it is said

I watched the entire game mate - the Vardy sending off was questionable. He went in two footed, got the ball and didn't touch another player??? Then the ref gave a few shocking decisions and had his yellow card in his hand more than his pocket. The boys just lost the plot and I was glad to see halftime before we lost another player. Then Ranieri went ballistic at the ref and Kasper dragged him away.

Whatever he said at halftime and they calmed down and went to work. The subs played well and I agree totally with the Gray comments. Certainly he is contributing more than Mahrez this season. At least we proved yet again that even with 12 against 10 we are a far better team than Stoke can ever dream to be!!

I hope we both get boots for Xmas because with all the suspensions we might get a call. I

Same as Tim for me. Launched himself at the ball while running with glen johnson close to him. Both feet left the ground but studs weren't up and he got the ball. Be surprised if it isnt overturned.

what did other neutrals think of it?

he was pushed by glen johnson, tried to adjust his position mid tackle on the way to the floor, kept one foot on the floor and got the ball

Ref made a reasonable decision, IMO.

Looked dangerous. He had two feet active in the process of tackling and had no control.

I think reds should only be rescinded if the ref has made a clear mistake. Like the "umpire's call" discretion area in cricket.

I don't think he made a bad decision here.

ok i understand he was out of control

he was out of control because he was pushed from behind, which i don't think the ref saw.

True, but he still made the decision to go for the ball. That created the danger.

He's a footballer so he's always going to go for the ball. I get that. But he wasn't pushed into the tackle.

The photo you posted is telling:

Vardy's body position is leaning left, owing to the push he got from his right shoulder. He wasn't pushed from behind and bundled into a tackle. He's reaching for the ball, by stretching his legs forward and right.

FWIW I would not be surprised if it were rescinded. I would disagree with the decision.

I thought it was a fair call which was highlighted due to two previously awful decisions on Rojo. Taken on its merits I thought it was the correct decision.
