I've long since believed that referees in the Premiership are total rubbish.

Yes, Alonso should have been sent off against Briighton but some of the tackles on Hazard were outrageous and went without punishment.

The Premiership will be a lot poorer if Hazard suffers a serious injury and spends a prolonged period out of the game.

Surely, referees can see that Hazard is being targeted.

What's hilarious is how in MOTD they made Alonso's foul a talking point but completely refused to acknowledge the fact Hazard was being kicked around the pitch for 90 minutes. Every single game Hazard has to deal with it, and the refs almost never protect him and allow the opposition to as you said target him and try and kick him off the pitch. It wouldn't surprise me if that's one reason why he wants to go to Madrid, at least in La Liga the standards of refs are much better and their star players are protected much more.

The wolves game was by far the worst. 17 fouls they finished game with and 2/ 3 bookings? . Hazard Willian were just constantly stopped, to the point were Moutinho stopped a break away and was booked and then made a foul minutes after when hazard left him, ref blew up for it but no booking. But it happens every week so won’t be stopping now.

But thay foul by stepehnson (or whatever his surname) on hazard was minimum yellow card a d could have easily been red.

On the side note. Ed001 why does ed018 dissapeared?

{Ed001's Note - he has not, he is usually about during games, he just has busy work periods and he has a young family nowadays.}
