Robbie Savage: 'Jamie Vardy should start for England'

Robbie Savage has insisted that Jamie Vardy should be named in England's starting lineup after the striker scored in a ninth straight Premier League match.

The Leicester City striker, who is the top scorer in the Premier League so far this season, scored a penalty in the Foxes' 2-1 win over Watford, and is part of Roy Hodgson's squad for the Three Lions' upcoming matches against Spain and France.The former Leicester and Wales midfielder told BBC Sport: "Considering where Leicester now find themselves, they could quite easily be in the top six by the end of the season.

The way they attack, with 25 goals already this campaign, means they have a real opportunity."And Jamie Vardy should be asking Roy Hodgson to play down the middle for England. He should start as a centre-forward for his country."Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney are the other strikers included in the England squad for the upcoming international break.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
