Did anybody else notice.....?

The freaky amount of corners in yesterday's game? 

 

I found this breakdown of average corners per game in the PL

 

 

 

England Premier League home teams concede on average 4.78 corners per game, and away teamsconcede on average 5.54 corners per game (on average England Premier League games generate 10.32 corners).

 

Norwich had 17 corners and we had 8 yesterday that's 25 corners in total! I'd doubt there will be any PL game this season with more.

 

We actually dealt quite well with most of them yesterday although their goal came indirectly from a corner... (in the same phase of play after a corner was cleared)

 

I also noticed that Okazaki was running into the penalty area well before Vardy had taken the penalty kick. Is that not illegal? If so he should be told to be careful as some pedantic refs might force a retake.. edit - Just noticed there was 3 Norwich players in the box too and it wasn't as explicit as the camera angle from behind the goal I was looking at originally ! probably happens all the time actually!

The Japanse have different laws

Corner bets are great, last year we smashed the line set so many times.

Also Race to 3,5,7 and 9 are available on some sites generally evens and above.

We were Over 4.5 yesterday at 5/6

Keep an eye on these in the future people

Don't think it is illegal.... Remember when Arsenal tried that really weird penalty that went horribly wrong... They had 2 in the box then....

It is illegal.

You don't have to shoot from a pen ,the ball has to go forward...

It's not allowed but it's one of those things that aren't correctly implemented. Happens all time.

 

The ball has to go forward though, so you can pass. Arsenal messed it up but if you want to see it done properly look no further than Johan Cruyff (as always he was one step ahead. Would have loved to see him play)...
