Premier League Thread 2023/2024

I wonder if the referee thought Grealish was either offside or believed a defender would get round to cover therefore no advantage. It looks poor from the side angle but the ref's angle is different.

So more dull football to come for Sheffield United. Proper full circle, sack Wilder replaced him with Heckingbottom then reappoint Wilder again.. lol.

Off topic but does anyone think Haarland should be banned for a long time. He reminded me of a XL bully. The refs union should not ref any  more games until he is.

[CosbehFox]

Interesting point at Man U right now. Think Ten Haag is very average with a hints of being a weirdo but it’s about time their board backed a manager and started to dismantle a squad of crybabies

Same shoulder as he dislocated 5 years ago at Burnley.  He was out for half the season that time, and then didn't get past Heaton into the first team for the rest of the season.

I think half the people in football are former Watford managers, aren't they?

Must be a worry for fans that even someone with a strong local connection to the club and them in Rashford seems so disinterested when playing for now. 

 

Or that might be because he has a new contract and don't think he needs to try so hard?

[Aus Fox]

I wonder if it was a cat burglar, getting revenge.

It must be the worst thing for a goalkeeper, once it's gone once the chances are it'll continue to happen especially when you bounce off it 30 times a day. Sadly it could be a career ending injury for him.

I think it's that, his angle wasn't great & he's playing advantage which unlike Rugby is only for the next action so as soon as Haaland pings it if he deems the outcome of that is not falling for Man C then he calls it back which is what he must have thought.
Pundit's etc saying he should play it out don't understand the advantage rule, you just know if nothing came of it or Grealish was off side etc they would be saying should go back to freekick but it can't!

They have a certain amount of time before they can pull it back, he certainly could’ve let it go for 2 seconds longer. It was absolutely the wrong call for him to pull it back so quickly.

Im getting ready for weirder kick off times.. like 10pm at night like in europe 🙄 imagine having work in the morning and attending a match.

I wonder if ramsdale would consider a move to Newcastle

They don't seem very happy on their forum. I know Wilder left them in a mess but didn't realise how much some of them don't like him.

Arsenal would hardly let him go to a team fighting for the top 4 would they?

So, Sheff Utd have replaced failure with failure. Does the owner know what he is doing?

But who else is readily available that’s going to want to take that job on? They’re already doomed.
