There looks to be a few dozen people in Vicky Park.

Maybe Jose was right about an anti-Chelsea FA bias.

Spurs (3rd breach of mass confrontation rule) and 9 yellows on the night (EPL record) = £225000 fine

Chelsea (4th breach) and 3 yellows on the night = £375000 fine

I'm not saying both teams did not deserve to be fined but, bearing in mind Spurs should've had 3-5 reds on the night had the referee had the balls to do his job properly, that is some disparity.

Is it not because Chelsea have more breaches of this mass confrontation rule? I must admit I'd never heard of that before!

It was all a bit pathetic really. If you're going to square up like that, at least have the fortitude to go for it.

As much as it goes against the grain, best of luck to the Seaweed tonight.

Amazing scenes in Leicester this evening for their parade. Looks like the whole city has come out to pay their respects to the team .

Not the whole city though I can hear it if I go in the back garden and I'm about a mile away from it.

At least they found a way of making sure everyone went home sharpish, Kasabian.

Sure, but Spurs were definitely the sinners in that match.

Brighton will feel hard done to after their play off loss to Sheff Wednesday. They finished 15 points above them and only lost out on automatic promotion by a 3 goal deficit. Similarly Accrington missed out on automatic promotion by 5 goals and have to defeat a team who finished way below them. Let's hope we don't end up like Brighton!

Where are Spurs and Chelsea going to find that kind of money? Still, I suppose it'll make 'em think twice next time!

Petty cash tin I'd guess.

The precise reason why I think that play-offs are utter rollocks.

The whole premise of a league is to go head to head with every other team and may the best team win, come second, come third etc. Not to stage some farcical end of the season lottery.

And despite all teams 'knowing the rules before the season starts' it is still clap-trap in my book.

The playoffs are a bit fairer in Scotland I think.

4th plays 3rd for the right to play 2nd in the Championship. Winner of that gets a crack at 11th in the Premiership for promotion.

By no means a perfect solution, but it is a bit better.
