Love for Leroy in the Guardian

10) Fer: not just horsing around
All is fair in love and war and all is fair when you are in the bottom half of the table and sinking fast. Ricky van Wolfswinkel's injury-time throw fell at the feet of Leroy Fer and landed Fer with two options. Give the ball back to Cardiff since they had kicked the ball out due to an injury to Alex Tettey; or try and win three points for his side. Given the fact that Norwich sit in 18th spot, have just two wins all season and are in desperate need of points, he chose the right one?and fired the ball into the Cardiff net. (Fer's effort failed to count as the referee, Michael Jones, had apparently failed to blow his whistle). Fair play from Fer it wasn't but with Norwich's present predicament, fair play to them should be what unicorns or Santa Claus or endless love are to the rest of us, pie in the sky. The Dutch midfielder is paid to help his side win matches and that is exactly what he did. You can be sure that if the goal had been allowed at the other end of the pitch, the Cardiff manager, Malky Mackay, would not be arguing that "common sense prevailed".?Ian McCourt
