Premier League 2024/25

It is mad what a decent manager can do. That Everton side is absolutely revolting and even though we're utterly garbage, I can't say I'd want many of their players in our team, yet Moyes is getting a tune out of them.

I remember seeing one given at the emirates a few years ago when someone was tripped over as they ran past the coaches. No attempt to play the ball = just took out the player. Not dangerous but decision was that it was  serious foul play. Can’t recall if it was an arsenal player who was sent off 

It was Xhaka

Seems like Forest had a few chances at 1-0 but Bournemouth soon took control .

 

Very clinical .

Reckon Bournemouth v Liverpool will be very interesting.

A Sunday league manager can put 11 players in his 6yd box, the Everton physio covered more ground than the combined team did.

Offensive that this Forest team has been compared to our title-winning side. Genuinely don't even think they're as good as we were in the first two years under Rodgers. 

They've not even been top once. To even compare us is laughable, never mind the price comparison of the squads.

Sanchez doing a great Danny Ward impression for Man City's second

The one thing I will give them is that their worst players that start for them are probably better than the worst players that started for us regularly when we won the league. For instance, I don't think they have footballers as limited as Simpson or Okazaki starting for them. However, their best players are nowhere as good as ours were. They don't have anyone anywhere near as good as Vardy, Mahrez or Kanté. Murillo is probably the only one I can see going to a top club and winning silverware regularly.

Be very open and attacking. 

 

In theory .

 

Chelsea were far too open .

 

Wolves fans not happy with Pereira but they did have chances today.

Enzo Maresca at Chelsea following an eerily similar pattern to us last season.

Doesn't matter. They are getting results to stay in the league. I'd happily take us getting hammered for 90 mins and winning 1-0 but we know this lot haven't got it in them to produce them results.

Still isn't a red card, even in slow motion when it usually looks worse. 

 

 

 

We have got some ridiculous red cards this season, this can join Rice supposedly kicking the ball away(all of 2 yards) against Brighton.  Never seen one like that before.  The Gooner forum are convinced that there is a PGMOL conspiracy taking place. 🤪

no conspiracy going on, the officials are just completely useless, basically it

its arse from elbow every other week, one week something is given a yellow, another week its a red then another its just a foul with no card at all,

no consistency with decisions, very little communication of decisions and apologies for decisions are very few and far between, plus no real accountability again for poor official performances either

 

its just plain incompetence from the officials,pgmol and the premier league, standard of officials on the whole, not just in the premier league has fallen too, dont help a good number of the rules are made by ppl who didnt really play the game either

As if Forest could have done "a Leicester".  No football club could win the league and then **** everything up as elegantly as we have. God bless you Danny Ward - you mystical freak. How you conned the big toothed dwarf into playing you - and then the troll - and then the polar necker (not for long) - I will genuinely never know. .

So how come Calafiori escaped a second yellow against us at the Emirates?

 

Gooners are remarkably silent about the numerous bad calls that go their way.

Ryan Yates, who started in the Bournemouth game, is the Forest equivalent of Hamza Choudhury. As such, he is far more limited than Okazaki or even Simpson were for us.

Come on, he's miles better than Choudhury.

Just watching MOTD. That is the maddest red card I have seen. Man City won about three leagues with that sort of tackle.

Trod on his foot at best I feel .

 

Ref on the pitch probably saw it was high but seemed very harsh .

The fact VAR did not overturn is criminal. Really concerning

Even if VAR thought it probably should stand, there's enough evidence that the contact was minimal on the leg so should be looked at again on the monitor so the ref can see it for himself.

Yeah that was never a red card but I swear an Arsenal player could get a red card for Luis Suarez style handball to stop a certain goal and there'd still be Arsenal fans claiming the red card was all part of a bigger conspiracy against their club

To be fair, not that they are the same style in any way of forward, but we bumped Wood out the club whilst we had Okazaki. 
 

Is Aina a better player than Simpson? Again maybe different players, I haven’t seen much of Aina but I think he is more forward thinking. But both were kind of journeymen full backs who didn’t make it at big clubs but had success a level down and are/were solid PL players.
