Premier League 2020/21 Thread

Amyone  else thinking that this mad December PL schedule may suit us? 

 

We are totally conditioned to two games a week. All the other non European   teams are in a rut of once a week. 

 

I just think generally the EL has suited us, consistently quickly rolling away a defeat or maintaining winning momentum

I would be for var with some changes.

1. Offside guaged by heels

2. Offside must be >15cm

3. Handball must be consistent all over the pitch . .. if it would not cause a pen then it can not prevent a goal.

I would like var to look at holding of the Cf with back to goal... and  defenders holding in the box on corners... as these destroy entertainment.

That just moves the problem rather than eradicates it. I've seen enough. It's a disaster for football.

On a different note. Kante finally being played in his proper position again and showing everyone his god like ability. Top of the interceptions chart already. I love Wilf but my god Kante truly is the GOAT at what he does. Probably the best player to ever play for us. Love the wee guy. X 

Jamie Vardy & then everyone else.

January is worst. There is at least a gap between the 20th and 26th for rest. With the FA Cup, there’s midweek league games then. 
 

Good observation though I think you have a point

He got paid for this ****ing garbage. Even putting aside the fact that no-one outside the sh!t six was mentioned, it's just a crap article.

[FoyleFox]

I don't realistically think we'll win the league but we've been top 4 (all bar the week the season finished and it counted) since Aug 2019, we've probably as much chance as Man U though. Same Sky $hite

Rob Green fancy dressed up as Showaddywaddy on Sky

Bamford had absolutely no intention of doing anything else but diving on the floor then. 

 

That's the worst penalty I've ever seen though. Unbelievable he's going to get to retake it. Haha. 

[lnkstern]

What a bad penalty shot.

[Stinkenzo]

Good pass from Bamford to Ogbonna for the penalty

[UniFox21]

That took too long for the retake to be called

[Facecloth]

I'm so glad we have VAR to tell us about those mm offsides, or that a keeper was even less than that off his line during a penalty, you know the things no fan watching really gave a **** about, just so it can continue to get huge decision wrong every weekend.

Only 4 minutes into the first game of the weekend and more VAR controversy?

[gurru991]

Commentators bigging up Leeds as usual

I dare say Leeds fans cared that Fabianski was factually off his line....

[UniFox21]

Mad how a keeper can be done for being a touch over the line, but a player can hop, skip and jump before shooting

[ealingfox]

Fabianski is visibly off his line tbf, not sure why that took so long to sort out

[CrispinLA in Texas]

West ham look far better on the counter to score

Yep. Don't think I've ever had such little desire to watch games.

[Corky]

David Moyes has a permanently annoyed face. Even when he celebrates he looks slightly narked.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Yup i was going to write with much better finishing  they could have been a goal or two up
