Brentford, Fulham and Brighton all in the top half, all three got 0 trophies between them. Everton, Leeds, Wolves, West Ham and ourselves 14th and below. Unless you're one of the top 6, you're irrelevant. Everton may have 11 million trophies and 200 consecutive years in the top flight but their ceiling is identical to Brighton's ceiling. Unless they win the lottery like Newcastle did. It’s all ££££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably all should. On the one hand, he'll almost certainly make United a major force again and end the pantomime years. But on the other, naive as it may be, I think he's probably one of the better billionaires we could hope to have a vote on how the Premier League is run. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see retrospective punishment for Kane though as that is quite simply cheating. I hate how lax the footballing world is when it comes to cheating in the form of diving. Yet Nick Pope gets a red for a momentary brain fart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturing contact, and feinging injury all the time, dramatically falling and rolling up in a ball holding his shins. But he has some sort of exemption from criticism and sanction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like almost all players have an exemption. It's just that there's only a few with the brass neck to repeatedly do it, knowing that the authorities really don't care about it. Faking head injuries after clearing a set piece seems to be the new fad that players can get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor application of the rules/laws doesn't help. It's the refs I blame. Fabinho is usually allowed to massacre opposition players in the first half and won't get a booking. Fernandinho was the same. The application of the laws is really poor. Fernandes should have had a yellow for his blatant trip on Mendy yesterday. Gets away with it because it's early on. It's crap. The annoying thing is that they're then really anal and love justifying decisions with VAR because they're correctly applying the rules (unless it's a Man U player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 20 February 2023 Share Posted 20 February 2023 Clearly a players personality/reptuation has a factor. Kane and Rashford both got players booked this weekend by exaggerating a tackle on them. Saka effectively did what Sabitzer did to Faes but on Villa's Moreno's ankle - no action, no foul. They have a reputation which leads to a bias. I also think the PL/PGMOL are isolationist in how they operate - only have to look at the World Cup and what they clamped now which led to a decent campaign on time wasting and playacting. Bar that Spanish clown in the Argentina v Netherlands game, sportsmanship was better. Rarely saw filthy tackles - which used to be something always evident in WCs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on Twitter how all the Arsenal fans were complaining he gets targeted and has no protection. Funny how fans see things differently depending on their bias !

That won't make or break our season and all these other sides will have to play tougher sides at some point. Post-Arsenal our fixtures look broadly quite favourable. Because taking points off arsenal and hurting their title push would be absolutley fantastic. But that's the only reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair point. I heard more excitment from Mowbray and Matterface for the French and Italian goals against England to knock them out of the euros and world cup than Tyler's given here.
