Premier League 2020/21 Thread

Kane gets the tag of nice guy. But clearly people are mistaking being gormless for being nice.  
 

Also, I saw a lot of comments from pundits (even Lineker) criticizing arteta for dropping PEA ... I just don’t get that. Surely that’s the right thing to do? Especially given how arsenal prove time and time again to have the wrong attitudes. 
 

He went up a lot in my estimation for having the gonads to do that I’n their big game. You can bet that will have a good reaction going forward and players will realise nobody is safe. It’s funny how we apply rules like this for kids at grass roots but want it forgotten at the top levels. I can imagine how infuriating it must be for a manager... especially from your captain on derby day

It doesn’t matter, he ended up getting sent off and Spurs lost... so all for nothing  

Thing is, it'll rob Nacho of goal of the month I expect, which is unfortunate.

[Ric Flair]

Stunning goal, even better that is count for fcuk all.

I believe Kane could do a dump on the Emirates stadium pitch and he’d still be regarded as the darling of English football.

To be fair you would have to respect that.

That's a red card in rugby these days. I'm not actually joking by the way, I think that'd be a red, even ignoring the fact he doesn't wrap his arms around because obviously footballers don't do that. 

 

He'd get mitigation because first contact is with the shoulder but with any contact to the head the ref starts with the highest possible punishment and any mitigating circumstances just bring it down. 

 

In this instance, Kane is quite clearly travelling in to the tackle with force looking to hit the player as hard as he can and leads with the shoulder. Minimum he'd get is a sin binning but I reckon he'd walk. 

 

 

i see that as akin to shearer booting lenny in the head …...its a disgrace that VAR doesn't bring that to oliver's attention.  that's a straight red for violent conduct imo. i see no other way of looking at it . ……...

How does Brewster still get into the England U21 squad. Got nothing in front of goal this season and barely features for Sheffield United anymore

He'll be out when they realise he's left Liverpool.

What’s the asterisk for? 
 

A chance Man City might be moved again subject to the European draw?

From what I can gather it will swap with the Arsenal v Liverpool depending on who’s drawn to play on the following Tuesday

Sounds like it'll only get moved (to Sunday) if Man City will play on the Wednesday?

Exactly. If Liverpool are drawn to play the Tuesday after the games will be swapped.

No, it's the Sunday Tuesday issue.

Yeah so if Liverpool are drawn to play on the Tuesday and Man City on the Wednesday, we'll then play on the Sunday and Arsenal/Liverpool is moved back to the Saturday?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not so I'm not sure how/if to answer

Yes

I got too used to/enjoyed the relentless fixture schedule for us since the start of the season through to a few weeks ago, feels like there's an absolute age between our matches these days.

[foxfanazer]

We've all been nothing but complimentary about Wolves on here so the least they could do is beat Liverpool for us tonight

I said before I am enjoying it, the forum is less howling.

 

My next door neighbour is a Blade too - that's quite funny.

Not true, he isn't by me. My worshipping is strictly limited to Vardyism.

[Hoopla10]

Is Kane the golden boy of English football? I can see why Spurs fans love him but he's done nothing for the rest of English football. Play some minnow in the group stage he might get a goal or score a pen'. But then goes missing once we have to play an above average team. He's crap when it actually matters for England. I can't stand him in an England shirt and by default I can't stand him in a Spurs shirt. He's not exactly a good interview, seemingly has no personality, so why is he the golden boy of English football?

Every single person I know (excluding Spurs fans) thinks Kane is a massive bellend, as do I

[Koke]

Kinda game where peak Wolves would destroy Liverpool. But this version of Wolves doesn't really fill me with confidence.

He makes me wish Marcin was still here. Noticed that on Red Cafe they have a whole thread about his backing into jumping players. Dangerous and irresponsible, and he should be cited.

[Gerard]

Wolves are a tough team for anyone, really solid outfit.

 

A draw here is almost as good as a loss, Liverpool. About 66pts will give a team about a 50% chance of top four and Liverpool would need W7 D2 L1 just to get there.

[TJB-fox]

Always found the hatred for Kane weird. Pretty normal guy who’s bloody good at football. Jealousy perhaps. Majority of clubs would have him in a heartbeat
