He saw Haaland flying, didn’t expect him to get back on his feet, so he blew the whistle and called a foul. So the defenders paused. Grealish is only free because he kept playing despite the whistle being blown.

This is a blatant, embarrassing lie. Hooper does not blow his whistle until after Haaland has played the pass.

‘Disagree with the referee over subjective decisions more often’ is definitely the perfect mid-season advice for the already inconsistent and under-performing English referees on VAR duties. What could possibly go wrong by trying to define what exactly a ‘soft penalty’? There’s no way that could make the VAR decision making even more inconsistent!

Howard Webb is a fucking clown.

Yeah, because he ninja edited in the last part, and people absolutely did question it at the time too.

definitely one of the least questionable signings Manchester United has made.

It’s less than 18 months since they signed him for £60m and now he’s getting binned off and yet he’s not a questionable signing? Sure thing mate.

Casemiro going from being over-priced questionable signing to essential part of the team to washed dead money back up has happened at a remarkable pace.

Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

I mean seriously, LOL at how shit this is.

Everton should counter-sue Leeds, Southampton and Nottingham Forest for ‘extreme taking of the piss’ if they try to get money off them for this. Forest are obviously still in the Premier League, and Leeds and Southampton would still have been relegated if Everton had a points deduction too. What are they going to sue for, the £2m more they would have received in prize money for finishing 18th and 19th instead of 19th and 20th?

This obsession people have with pretending Man City are getting away unnoticed with breaking financial rules really need to go outside more. Just because Everton have been dealt with first doesn’t mean City have been forgotten about or the charges against them aren’t real. It was explained at the time they were announced that their charges could take years to be settled, but a few months later people piss their pants about them not being punished yet.

Everton have left a trail of breadcrumbs to their massive financial mismanagement over the last few years and they’ve been punished for it after a literal years ong investigation. Why the fuck is it so hard for people to talk about this instead of just rolling around on the floor screaming about Man City?

The thread: Chelsea might get a points deduction.

That snoozing West Brom fan just fell asleep again.

Gary Neville can endlessly drone on about the owners being the problem with Man Utd, but how can you trust a manager who told the club they absolutely needed to spend £82m on this fucking turd of a player to be the right man for the job? What has ten Hag actually done for anyone to be able to say ‘It’s not his fault Man Utd are total shit this season’?

The Scottish Premier League doesn’t exist any more though.

That’s why I said ‘or are now past their peaks’.

Fenerbahce’s squad has a load of players who played in the Premier League and were a bit shit or are now past their peaks, but are now playing in Turkey, where the standard is much lower and they’re doing well. What’s the issue?

They should have waited until just after Wolves vs. Newcastle kicked off tomorrow to make it official, just for laughs.

Ah yes, because Papu Gomez was so key to Argentina winning the World Cup, no way would they have won it if he was banned before the tournament and they took a different player instead.

I must be missing something, how are there people in this thread who seem to think that if a player from Argentina’s World Cup squad tested positive for a PED now, it would count as a second strike again them?

They are not rarely punished, they rarely happen.

Sounds like you have plenty of money to waste then.

The logic behind the ad being banned makes no sense at all. The idea that Neville is particularly appealing and influential to under 18s is fucking mental.
