EPL 2020-21

The female announcer for The Cock has a rather thick accent. Awesome!

[mdmost 43847]

Leicester might not survive this onslaught.

Thanks Mike

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

I’m glad that’s not a pen. I’ve always hated the run in front and stop move in all sports. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Where's the fucking var on that?

Premature Celebration

[Captain Ron 13094]

That was the right call on the no penalty. Tielemans had taken possession, Verner kicked him after that. 

VERNER SCORES!! So yeah, there had to be a flag.

Yeah. Not sure what the defender is expected to do if that's a pen.

Werner gets position between him and the ball then gets kicked. I'm not sure how you think that's Werner kicking him. That's a pk.

VAR will call that a handball. RIP.

LeicesVAR City!

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Lol, poor Timo Werner

[Captain Ron 13094]

Is Werner German for No Goal?

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Score so far:

LEI: 0

CHE: 0

VAR: 3

Classic case is using the back of your leg to kick a man.

yeah so Tielemans does kick him. Because he was playing the ball and Werner jumped in the middle of the action.

The halftime guys are right that is called a few times. But it’s always the wrong call. Werner is just standing there he’s didn’t take the ball he just stepped in to force contact, not making a soccer play.

This is just fucking ridiculous. So you're telling me if a player is standing with the ball in front of them, not touching it, and another kicks them it's a foul on the player standing in front of the ball?  It doesn't matter if Tielemans initially had possession. Werner got position on him and Tielemans kicked Werner in the back of the leg.  Werner wasn't swinging back towards Tielemans.  He got between him and the ball and got kicked.  In no world is that Werner kicking Tielemans.  In no world is that a foul on Werner.  That's a foul on Tielemans.  The halftime guys are right that it's called because it's the correct call.  Mike Dean fucked up.  VAR fucked up.  It should have been a penalty.  If you think that's not a football play you must not know much about football, because positioning--putting yourself between the ball and the opposing player--is one of the most basic aspects of the game.  That's exactly what Werner did.

That's a pen

what a dumb foul

Might have cost them CL.

[Bone3421 716]

Poor foxes, 2 years in a row they flame out of CL at the end....

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Werner just got karate kicked when getting in between the ball and Fofana.  But he didn't touch the ball, so it should be a foul on Werner.

Can anyone tell me what the dust up was between Potter and Pep?

Pep’s a little bitch and he lost.

Just looked this up on Reddit.  Pep looked back in anger.

Something about Potter over celebrating a goal.

I mean, most refs are Cunts, but you don't need to say it out loud.

[Bone3421 716]

4th or Bust...let's get it done today Liverpool, and let's wait until the last minute either

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Strange stat of the day:

Brighton is in 15th place with a GD of -4.

Palace is in 13th place with a GD of -21

more bitchiness on the schedule for today?

Brighton is something like 5th in the EPL in xG. Maupay and Welbeck have missed a ton of chances. 

[RamjetFDO 10642]

Ollie with the beautiful second goal.

Villa 2-1 over Spurs in the 39th on the Cock.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

No wonder Reguilon had to drop from Real down to Tottenham.

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Ugh, just read that Eze tore his Achilles. I feel terrible for him, he was having a great season. 

[RamjetFDO 10642]

Behold... the Mighty Man Bun.

Kane looks like he's taking a final lap around the stadium.

Pretty hard to see Real, Barca, or PSG shelling out £120m+ this summer.

[midtown 3349]

If you believe the articles. He wants to stay in the PL. Levy won't sell to a London rival and has publicly stated he won't do business with manu. That leaves city. Do they have 120mil?

[Captain Ron 13094]

Yes. But why would they spend it on Kane (28 next season and a history of ankle injuries) when they can spend that on Haaland and get a guy that is going into his prime?

And this is the biggest thing - at best Kane is #3 on pecking order of high dollar transfers. 

EDIT - and I said it before, if anyone, ANYONE offers that $$$, Spurs should take it and not even question it.

I took great pleasure in seeing The Imps beat Sunderland 2-0 today in the League One playoffs.

Nah. I've always had a soft spot for Sunderland. I'd rather see them in the Championship/EPL.

The cost for any EPL team is going to be closer to £150m. The £120m price tag has been mentioned as the bare minimum to even start negotiations. Ornstein and other have said the club has no intentions of selling him and no intentions of selling him to an EPL team. Kane has 3 years left on his contract so he doesn't really have much leverage. Fabrizio Romano had an article today saying City want Kane and will talk to Spurs, but City haven't been like Real, Barca, Chelsea, or United in paying crazy individual fees.

I think I read that their largest paid fee is $68mil.  So this is at least double that.   

[MoJames 8258]

I realize they don't generally pay crazy amounts, but is there anyway with Lewandowski getting up in years that Bayern goes for it? They obviously don't need much playing in that league, but I could see him doing well in Germany.

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Sterling for Kane swap? Who says no.
