EPL 24-25: Postakloppalypse

[Captain Ron 13,128]

This letter of the law is ridiculous. Now Arsenal is forced to wear black?!!?!?

 

 

 

[Derka 6,403]

hey good news everybody, they’ve suddenly decided to start enforcing the new delay rule again. saliba booked early for picking up the ball. his problem was that he didn’t punt it 60 yards away, which as we’ve seen isn’t a violation. 🙄 

[Derka 6,403]

and yeah, pgmol being super childish and petty not letting us wear the same kits we’ve worn every time we’ve ever played tottenham. joke of a league run by joke federations. can’t wait to watch city throw another parade.

[Derka 6,403]

total fucking joke. another booking for “delay” when *nobody heard the whistle*. every single player kept on playing and this clown just booked timber for delay. unbelievable. 

[Derka 6,403]

also fwiw tottenham has been booked two different times that i don’t think are bookings at all. this is the biggest joke league in the world.

[Derka 6,403]

seven bookings in the first half of what hasn’t even been a particularly heated NLD.

[hobbes2702 13,435]

Timber is lucky to still be on the field.

i didn’t see this, i was looking down when it happened. screenshot looks pretty bad tho. 

[Derka 6,403]

ok come on, this is nothing. if you want to book him, fine. it would be a soft booking though, and nowhere near a red.

Pure bait lol. I didn’t think it was red but I think we’ve discussed the inconsistency of refs

inconsistency is the only thing these jokers are consistent with.

[hobbes2702 13,435]

Maybe one of the Spurs guys can comment since I don’t watch all their games but it seems like Son is out there trying/having to do everything himself.

[Captain Ron 13,128]

I think Son is feeling the pressure of being the team leader and getting the win solo in this game.

Very few homegrown players in this one. Felt like just a game instead a heated rivalry. A few handbags, but nothing serious. 

oh wait I think I’m supposed to bitch about how the refs cost us this one and how they were so unfair with some bullshit spurs cards, while Timber walks free after trying to shatter Porro’s leg.

[Derka 6,403]

10 of the 17 minutes of this match have been spent with man city players rolling around on the ground, wailing like they’ve been shot. it appears that rodri is actually hurt this time, but i’m all out of fucks to give after watching such a pathetic display from the most dominant team in the epl. you’re the most overpowered team in england- stop flopping like cunts.

Well that’s something to talk about 

[Surly Bevo 25,717]

Well looks like we can keep this conversation going

[mdmost 43,945]

That seems a tad harsh

[hobbes2702 13,435]

That was real stupid from Troussard, the foul and then kicking it away when on a yellow. 

[Ted Lange 16,406]

ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION.

It is for sure. It’s also just stupid though. Smart players don’t put themselves at risk in big games

Have you seen what’s been allowed up to that?  If they give out a second yellow to a City player for something equal, I’ll post zero about the refs the rest of the year.

It’s playing with fire. Simple as.

Doku did, but for some reason, no yellow

we’re upset about this because we’re the only team in this league with any chance of defeating city for the title, and in the year 2024 the only way we ever drop points is from corrupt officiating. yeah, it’s fucking enraging. 

[Surly Bevo 25,717]

With all the swirl around Michael Oliver before this match let's just say that was a touch confirming if you believe he has an influenced bias.

this game has been a reboot of american gladiators and then suddenly that’s a sending off. and the guy who made the call just also happens to get paid lots and lots of money to do favors for man city’s owners. ho hum, no big deal.

And it should have been a yellow. Refs suck. Yet again though, don’t put yourself in position to be at their mercy. Rice put himself in position to be at their mercy and so did Troussard. It’s the wrong call on Troussard but shit happens.

Lulz. Welcome to the party pal. We’ve been here for 5 years.

[Ted Lange 16,406]

Other players put themselves in situations to get yellows but nothing.  THAT IS THE ISSUE 

NBC ROASTING that 2nd yellow.  It’s corruption 

[Ted Lange 16,406]

Why would you have a ref whose been paid by City’s owners reffing this game?

[Derka 6,403]

nbc half time crew is disgusted with the sending off, and rightly so. fuck michael oliver, and fuck the fa for letting michael oliver officiate huge games for his buddies who pay him tens of thousands of pounds to do favors for them.

I mean if you’re really making it that the league is against Arsenal then have fun with that. I’ve watched the league literally take a goal off the board. They are bad at this job. It’s not a conspiracy against the gunners

Why have a ref, with at the very least an appearance of conflict of interest ref this match?    And then he doesn’t give Doku a yellow but sends of Trossard.   It’s ridiculous 

[Ted Lange 16,406]

This isn’t normal ref ineptitude.   It’s insane that of all the refs that the EPL has to pick they pick Michael Oliver, and then he turns around and does exactly what we all expected.   INSANITY.

Because this league is a clown show. See the treatment of English players compared to foreigners for another example. 
They don’t care about getting it right or getting quality refs. We are talking about it and people are watching. 

[Ted Lange 16,406]

OMG.   They sent him off for kicking the ball away!    LOLOLOLOL.   straight up corruption 

[The Maestro 785]

Shameful 

[Derka 6,403]

 

[Ted Lange 16,406]

Weird man city does it, but no yellow. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Oliver in the tunnel talking to Walker asking who to card on Arsenal next

Not sure why you are here fighting with Arsenal fans since when it comes to this particular matter you are on the same fucking team.  Yea we get it has happened to others so rage against the machine, not against your fellow victims.

Because I think conspiracy arguments are really stupid and this is the league thread. 

[Derka 6,403]

players sent off for delay this year: 

arsenal- 2

the other 19 teams- 0

times that we’ve seen opposing teams delay restart with no whistle- inumerable
