To be fair this sort of overreacting is not restricted to foreign players, although I have often felt, to my shame, that the Portuguese seem especially prone to picking up agonising injuries which can be run off with the quick application of a sponge and some strategic limping for a second or two. How Wolves ended the match against Saints ended up with 11 fit players is a mystery.... or should Southampton have had rather more cards?

Anyway, back to my original less xenophobic point. Please don’t try to convince me that Grealish, Kane, Vardy Rasford et al are any less guilty than their foreign teammates at what is euphemistically called simulation - although if referees cannot spot a foul (with or without VAR) then players will always try to make sure they see it as such. Or, as the sainted Mr Artell has been saying for the past fortnight, if they can’t tell the difference between a mistimed challenge and a leg breaker, then the players’ careers are in danger.
