Premier League Thread 2023/2024

Intrigued how Maddison does in a big game.

His seasons usually split into 3:

- Brilliant first third of the season

- Injured for the second third 

- Trying to regain form and fitness for the latter

[casablancas]

Boom !!!

[Trev3939]

Great header! He’ll be gutted that wasn’t the other end 

[UniFox21]

First 20 minutes in this emphasises how much we need a proper set piece coach

[ChrisWalken456]

This is why VAR is s**t. What advantage is he getting from such a close call? Just give the goal.

[whoareyaaa]

this offside var stuff is ****ing shit 

[whoareyaaa]

if its mm give the goal 

[Col city fan]

Fook VAR fook VAR fook VAR….

[Arkie Bennett]

What is Gary Neville on about? Nobody's backside is that big.

[foxfanazer]

Arsenal are the luckiest side in the league 

[Col city fan]

Anyone who thinks VAR makes football better is a cock

👍

[ChrisWalken456]

Maddison needs a yellow for that flop

 

[ChrisWalken456]

Which led to a goal

[whoareyaaa]

the attacking player should at least be a foot offside anything less goal

[whoareyaaa]

 2 nil

[Tommy Fresh]

Maddison trying to buy a foul letting them counter

[Super_horns]

Game over there.

 

Be all the talk of VAR again.

Exactly. You wouldn't mind conceding those goals when you know yours will stand in the same circumstances

[Fox92]

Maddison going down easy, seen that before.

[Lionator]

The first one was a foul from Trossard but the second one was a pathetic dive from Madders 
 

 

[Corky]

Maddison "going to new heights" yet finishing 5th again.

[whoareyaaa]

he literally cost them the 2nd goal for the fall on the floor, weak.

Football at top level is now just VAR moaning and falling foul to PSR or FFP 

Of course it is, every element of media around the game brings attention to every little decision made because it generates controversy. People who have no interest in the other 14 teams in the league will take an interest in the likes of Wolves, Bournemouth, Luton etc because fans have a shared feeling of being hard done by from officials. 
 

Look at the moaning above, like it or not, that VAR decision is consistent with near enough every other offside VAR decision where some random body part is off by a mm or so. It’s crap but why allow that one now when other teams have had so many go against them? Just so it stops Arsenal challenging for the league?

 

Its been a great start to a game, there’s no need for that VAR decision to be a talking point because there’s no controversy around it, but you know for sure it will be the talking point.

[Chelmofox]

Don’t miss his diving.

Does well to foul him when Kulusevski trips over his own feet
