Doesn't look like there's any contact whatsoever? Perhaps a slight nudge with his knee on the back of his boot... but nowhere near anything that would've made him tumble quite so dramatically.
Not in real time no, i agree its debatable but clear dive? Really?
Benteke went down as if a sniper had shot him and that's the trouble these days players go down with the slightest of touches. Fair play to the lino if he actually saw the knee to heel contact and never guessed...........hmmmm.
Norwich and the Geordies need three wins more than Palarse to catch them (worse goal differences though) not too dissimilar to our situation. Wonder what the odds are on us staying up and them going down
In regards to the dodgy penalty... I havent seen it but you cant say they didnt deserve it, especially after their two embarrasing dives against us earlier in the season
Apparently the reason why they have not won in the last 12 games is because of media negativity! No Alan, I think you will find the real reason is because you are a big nosed cunt with an ego the size of which would impress Donald Trump.
It could technically be a penalty, but I'd rather referees didn't give those ones. Except against them, obvs.
Nine points is a big gap. And they've been a bit unlucky, they're losing when playing fairly well. But this kind of defeat really dents the confidence, and when you look at their remaining fixtures, you can see it getting worse.
Leicester H West Ham A Norwich H Arsenal A Everton H Newcastle A Stoke H Southampton A
I've got a bad feeling they're going to beat Leicester, it's got potential for a frantic, open game. But if they don't, the Norwich game will be huge. Their away fixtures are tricky, and their home record - four wins in 15 - isn't great.
So frustrating that this year there are 5 such abysmal teams in the PL. Going to be a near record low number of points needed to survive and Sunderland will get out of it because of this again too.

At least it's a thoroughly enjoyable subplot.
Bless.
Well done Scouse Christian!
Palace will certainly be in the relegation mix next year.
As we know from bitter experience once things start to slide he hasn't a clue how to turn it around in the way a Curbs or Pulis would
They probably have enough points in the bag but great to see all the Nigeos in full-on panic mode
Oii?
Pardew.
Wanker!
