Premier League 24/25 Thread

Also, Brentford have a goal disallowed for holding/grappling, and rightly so. However, this happens several times in pretty much every game, with no consequence. Where is the consistency?!

Could you imagine if they did though? Arsenal would never score another goal! They'd probbaly go down FFS

Just to even it up, I did laugh at Ange moaning about the refereeing (albeit he had a point). Weirdly, when Liverpool's goal was disallowed after THAT VAR **** up, he said we just had to accept the Refs decision. Strange that it was ok when you benefited Ange!
Not like a manger to be a hypocrite. And, yes, I know all managers/players/fans are just as bad. I just enioyed Karma biting Ange. All he had to do was say it was a shocker and it shouldn't have happened. Which it was, and it shouldn't. But, no.
I do think Spurs are mad if they sack him though. Given their injuries and tight wad owner….

Forest are flying! Here's a good one, Wolves in 17th have scored more goals than Forest in 3rd.

Liverpool, Utd was some game and could have gone either way, thought Utd had a penalty shout which was completely ignored by SKY and the officials. Can't have too many complaints Liverpool are the best team in Europe. One thing I will say is I can't remember the last Man Utd team to go to Anfield and come away with a point and 50% possession.

Here's hoping no Utd team does it again for a long long time.
No points, 20% possession and a hiding is much better

This is quite wholesome:

Man Utd players past and present say goodbye to Kath Phipps

A funeral has been held for the club's training ground receptionist who passed away at the age of 85.

Another **** show with the media announcing a sacking the day before it happens, why does this keep being allowed to happen? Really unfair, obviously it's hard to have too much sympathy for people who earn millions of pounds a year so I'm sure he'll be just fine. Should have stuck with Moyes? I agree with a lot of what people are saying today, every team thinks they're entitled to Pep's exciting "brand" of football, but the reality is only two or three teams can pull it off (not Spurs unfortunately.) I would LOVE to see Spurs scrape a few 1-0 wins from some calm defensive performances, there's nothing exciting about watching your team goal hang and lose every week.

Well I'm fully expecting the second leg to end 6-1, but with the recent run of results I thoroughly enjoyed last night! I was even enjoying the bore-draw most of the game was compared to recent performances. But I thought it was going to be a typical Spurs game when, shock horror, the very first use of VAR in the ENTIRE TOURNAMENT was to disallow our goal, but thankfully that didn't end up costing us on this occasion.

Got a bit of symapthy for Pool saying Bergvall shouldn't have been on the pitch, but oh how many times that has happened to us so I'll take the let off this once. Maybe the referee saw a playback of the first yellow card at half time had zero contact and decided to cancel the next challenge out for it?

@Cazza Potter then?

Dyche sacked 4 hours before kick off. Bizarre. What do Everyon expect? That squad is exactly where it should be. It's shite.

As for Spurs Pool last night. I wasnt too bothered about Bergval scoring. His first card was never a booking, so to my mind he's made one bookable foul and one non bookable one and has got one yellow card to show for it. That's fair. They came the wrong way round, but sure.
Yes, we'll see people sent off for similar but we all know the standard and consistency of refereeing is appalling.
I guess the only slight irk is the fact he committed the foul and then scored the goal while Tsimikas was off the pitch. Would Tsimikas have made any difference defensively, who knows, but logic would say an extra defender doesn't make it easier for an attacker. Still, second leg to come.

Fac dragged out over 57 days starting today. Doesn't feel right to me. FAC 3rd should all be on a Sat/Sun, not a ****ing Thurs night!

Moyes back to Everton anyone?

 

[Cazza]

Happy with Potter, but didn't like the way Lop was dealt with.

Agree about Everton- they've got a very poor squad. Moyes would be a very good move for them.

I'm surprised Leicester didn't do more/anything to get Potter, although a fan today said he was approached in the summer, but wasn't interested because of the possible points deduction
