FFS - Grealish has not been booked for diving in the entire season and trying to injure a player to improve promotion chances is disgraceful. He is the most fouled player in the league, despite a lengthy layoff after playing your lot - I'm all for rivalry & banter but for the good of the game there has to be fair play. The real cheat is that w***er J Rod - I've a feeling at least one of the playoff games is going to be marred by p1ss poor officials - all to play for.
I don't really think any football supporter can accuse another teams player of cheating if they have handled the ball during play that leads to a goal. It goes on all the time across all divisions in every country and in the past its benefited Villa just as it worked against them with J Rods 'goal' by benefitting Albion.

FWIW, Kodjia was no less guilty of poor sporting conduct as he clearly attempted to disrupt Leeds play when there was clearly no reason for the ref to stop play as the player was not in danger. Big Sam was right on this as was Dean Saunders. Whatever went on after doesn't excuse this fact that he attempted to influence the ref to benefit his team AKA cheating. So get over it as any supporter who singles out only those incidents that they don't like is purely hypocritical.
