Leicester were very, very lucky, but still nothing like man utd lucky under fergie. So many things went there way; penalties, offside goals, injuries and I'm sure loads of other things but they had to be like that for them to win, that and loads of ability and effort.
Fingers crossed we get that lucky soon too

Continental referees are soft. Our referees are too soft, but they're not that soft.

Continental referees are soft. Our referees are too soft, but they're not that soft. Well if continental referees are 'soft' and he got 3 yellows in 3 games, what does they make of the 'not that soft'. English referees who only gave him 3 in a whopping 37 games !!!!!

3 yellows in as many games in Euro 16 3 in 37 games in the premier league Hey Malteser, have you responded to the points made last time you brought up this topic? Or are you just going to keep on mentioning it every time you post hoping that someone will jump to the conclusion that it is all a big conspiracy?

Or are you just going to keep on mentioning it every time you post hoping that someone will jump to the conclusion that it is all a big conspiracy? Here is my reply - Why has Kante got 3 yellow cards in 3 games in the Euros whereas he got the same amount of yellow cards - 3 - in 37 premier league matches last year ? Possible reasons - 1. Either he became a dirty tackler overnight, inexplicably transforming himself from a saint-like figure between August 2015/May 2016 to a horrendous fiend in June 2016; OR 2. The refs at the Euros took a terrible disliking to him for no apparent reason, singling him out above all other players (he's the one who got the MOST yellow cards in the Euros, it is to be noted, no mean feat); OR 3. The refs in the EPL were excessively lenient with Kante throughout the league, the result of which he was not suspended for any game and Leicester could incredibly field the same starting XI for the entire duration of the league. Take your pick

Nothing to see here...... I disagree Especially when comparing Kante's stats with those of other PL players playing in his same position as holding midfielder Wanyama 4 YC and 3 RC in 29 matches Coquelin 5 YC and 1 RC in 26 matches Noble 8 YC and 1 RC in 37 matches Whelan 6 YC in 37 matches Shelvey 8YC in 31 matches Kante just 3YC in 37 matches - way below the average of other holding midfielders and then he gets 3 yellow cards in less than 4 effective games in the Euros ....

Can you point to specific incidents where Kante should have got a yellow card in a PL match but didn't? Have you performed an analysis of the numbers of dodgy tackles / elbows / dissent etc which weren't punished by Kante and the other midfielders you've named? Surely you'd prefer to base your argument on actual evidence wouldn't you? A statistical sample of 3 is so far short of significant it's just ridiculous.

Why would Leicester of all random teams be treated leniently?
Did the refs who gave four penalties against them (only one fewer than us), and sent off Danny Simpson in their biggest game of the season not get the memo?
Is this part of the great Lineker Conspiracy?

I watched Kante a lot last season and I'm really not surprised that he only got 3 yellow cards. The amount of times he won the ball back cleanly via standing tackles was incredible.
I'm afraid you're clutching at straws OP.

The sample of 3 Euro games on which your whole conspiracy theory appears to be based. I repeat: can you please point to specific instances where Kante should have got a yellow card but didn't? How many times did it happen? How does that compare to the other players you mentioned? Incidentally, comparing Kante to the likes of Whelan is plain daft, not the same kind of player at all.

It happens, doesn't mean you have to bury your head in the sand. funny how this "Leniency" wasn't mentioned until last season despite them receiving almost exactly the same number of cards in the preceding season eh? then again, i suppose it just wouldn't like any kind of conspiracy at all then would it, merely just backup that Leicester actually just aren't that dirty in general. one thing that staggers me though mate (and i'd appreciate it if you or malteser could help)...... don't you think it would actually be far more fair and sensible to level the "Leniency conspiracy" at a club who actually received over 30 LESS cards last season than the previous one? that seems far more weird and out of the ordinary to me, or do we not question it at all simply because that club was us????? Leicester receive almost exactly the same number of cards in 2 seasons in a row = FA cheated to let them win the league We receive 30 (yes, thirty!) fewer cards than the season before = Sssssh, keep quiet, nothing to see here! any answers or explanations to that stat or will it just be conveniently ignored? surely if you're going to be consistent with your (ahem) "Logic" then you HAVE to extend the same thought process and there can be no other conclusion than Sir Pete's brown envelope for the FA and the refs is even bigger than Leicester's yeah?

Leicester have been the luckiest team around since they came out of Administration. Bar a few bumps in the road virtually everything has gone their way.
No conspiracies, just jammy bastards.
