[Captain Ron 12789]

Hell of a game. I was in fact entertained.

Huh? That pass can be offsides, Rashford still has to be behind the ball on the pass. 

He was.

Yes I know. 

49 minutes ago, Captain Ron said:

The second was clearly. The first … I guess so. 

That wasn’t what I was talking about. 

49 minutes ago, ztejas said:

First was close. Second doesn't matter because he has the ball past the last defender.

that's not a clear foul, that exact thing goes uncalled all of the time, this is a physical sport. that's the problem with this shit- it's completely subjective.

and btw, how the FUCK does mctominay not get booked for teo hand shoving martinelli from behind? arsenal have lost players for the entire season *twice* because of fouls like that. total horseshit. 

I don’t think you understand the game. That was an easy call.

then why didn't tierney call it the first time it happened when he was 8 feet away from the play?

honest answer: it became a foul after we scored. that shit goes uncalled all of the time, which is why tierney didn't call it when it happened right in front of him. after we scored however, well then the play merited a review, and upon said review it became a foul, after the fact. more viewpoints:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but uh, i'm sure that they all just fail to understand the game, unlike you. i mean who are they? just one of the 2-3 greatest players in EPL history, a world cup winner, the Arsenal and Norway captain, and the guy who originally ran the PGMOL. what do they know?

It was a foul. Give it up.

Wasn't expecting the smash-and-grab manager-sack but can't say I'm surprised. 

[mdmost 42775]

Wow. Did not expect to wake up to that news. The Bond villain wins again.

Those are the bookies favorites, not sure there is anything more to it at this point outside of Potter.

[Napoleon 8596]

Graham Potter?…

…or did you mean…

CALEB PORTER?

[sidis 9713]

They should grab frank lampard while the getting is good.

If the queen dies in the next 24 hours, will there be EPL games this weekend? That's really going to mess with my TV watching plans.

Edited September 8, 2022 by HornOnTheBayou

[Captain Ron 12789]

No. Britain would commence a period of mourning. That would pretty much shut the country down.

Ah. Just did some reading. YES, There is a 12 day mourning period from the day of her death until her burial. HOWEVER only the day of her death and the funeral day are holidays. 

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

Has anyone checked to see if Klopp was involved? Liverpool could use 10 days of rest.

they have a nice stadium imo.  best of the three "french" teams down south.

but i'd love to take as much of their squad off their hands as we can.

[Captain Ron 12789]

Some sharp jerseys.

Frankly they were lucky to hang onto Potter as long as they did.

It will be interesting to see how he does with some real financial support. Time to put up or shut up. 

[midtown 3341]

This feels like a Tom Herman hire IMO.

Time to find out. 

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

I believe the whole season is cancelled and we start over again.

 

Please?

[alincoln 2364]

The United game tonight will be played as scheduled 

[Surly Bevo 24692]

Yea in this already fucked up shitshow of a schedule season this is going to hammer it even more.

Agreed. We can stop the season now. Start over? Nah, looks good as-is. 😉

As a whole, it sounds like the EPL schedule won't be affected.

Just saw a text that games this wknd will likely be called off.  It was from one of the 10-20 Spurs fan twitters that I follow.  No idea if its true at all

Fridays EFL games are off

I'm just sad that The Queen had to live through that horrible Liverpool performance last night. Maybe her heart couldn't take any more.

That I get - those games fall in the holiday period.

I mean I can see the games being called off, but given protocol, they don’t fall in the windows off when you should call off events.

Not to go cloak room, but

 

[yoladu 4065]

factoring in the international break, it's possible we wont have a Premier League match until Oct. 1
