Premier League 22/23 Thread

Yep, absolute rubbish. Don't really know what to say.

How come you're allowed to grapple away like you're a top wrestler at a WWE match when a corner is taken, but touch someone's arm lightly and it's a penalty ?

The guy on VAR yesterday, was the same guy who disallowed our goal against Chelsea early in the season- remember that one?!

Well that game pretty much summed up Spurs' season. We played badly for 15 minutes, and conceded 3 goals. We are then the better team for the next 75 minutes, but only score two, hit the post 3 times, had a strong penalty shout ignored, and no red card for Jota's flying head kick. Then we nick a draw in injury time... Until Lucas Moura comes on 🤦‍♂️

Don't get me wrong we don't deserve top 4 this season, but it does feel like luck isn't on our side, deserved a draw from that at the very least.
 
Wow, what a game! Kinda sums up why Spurs and Liverpool don't deserve top 4. Can't believe how close they both actually are, considering how poor they've both been. Jota is a scumbag. One of the snidest, dirtiest players around. Horrible shithouse. Never has any qualms about deliberately injuring opponents.
 
I agree, Liverpool certainly given 3 points today. Like an apron Liverpool, good up front but nothing at the back. Draw would have been a fare result. Can't believe Spurs fans going home after 15 minutes.

Expecting a re-run of the Newcastle game I imagine!
 
I agree that Jota high foot was a red, although, I have no idea what the rule is there. But it's similar to what Mane got a red for against City a few years ago (followed by three similar incidents a few weeks after none of which where red cards). But if I was blowing that game, I would probably have sent him off.

BUT…….Skipp shouldn't have been on the pitch. That "tackle" on Diaz was a leg breaker, how the **** he got away without even a booking I will never know. Two wrongs don't make a right, and the game would obviously have been totally different had one or both been given.

I didn't see the game, but from what I have heard Pool should have put it to be in the first 20mins then Spurs woke up, hit the post three times and the world's biggest donkey scores a stoppage time equaliser (was the free kick soft? I heard Klopp say it was, but pinch of salt and all that) Only for Jota to snatch it with Pool's first shot on target since the 3rd goal.

@Cazza summed it up well, if either side plays like that they don't deserve CL football. And neither will get it.
If you go 3 up at home you should NOT be hanging on with 20mins to go and relying on a stoppage time winner. That's what the dross in the drop zone do. Likewise, if you ship 3 in 20 mins, a week after shipping 5 in 20 mins, there's a not a ****ing chance in hell you should be near European football. Relegation more like.

Sounds like a great game for the neutral.

If Ryan Mason can wake Spurs up before the K/O he will have a decent team on his hands.
 
Yep, likewise Spurs have just had to play 3 tough games in succession, and scored 6 goals which is pretty good going, but it's criminal to have conceded 12!
 
Can't see either Spurs or Liverpool getting top 4. Liverpool could win all their games and will only finish on 71 points. That means Newcastle need 7 points from 5 games and Man Utd need 9 points from 6 games. Top 4 is pretty much done and dusted. 😂 Famous last words. 🤣
 
I would have started worrying if Villa had won yesterday. Brighton next for Man Utd which we could easily lose, I'm still a bit nervous. 🤣 Liverpool look like they could win all remaining games.

Liverpool will probably win the Europa League next season. Personally I'm fed up of Man Utd being in it, such a draining competition and we always stumble deep into it.

I agree Spurs could have been down to 10 easily, it was similar to Casemiro against Southampton.
 
Only fair I admit I have just seen the Skipp tackle from the other angle and he does make contact with the ball. Albeit it is Diaz flicking it past him and it hits his leg, rather than his tackle being well timed enough to get the ball. I don't know if that is why the ref VAR did nothing, but it's still a red for me. Even if he did make contact with the ball, that follow through is a leg breaker.


Also, one of Spurs 3 shots that hit the woodwork, Regulion or whatever his name is, looked offside. They still could very easily have got something from that game though, no arguments.
 
Good game between Leicester and Everton last night, although the result didnt do either of them any good. I would like to see one of them go down personally, just to mix it up a bit (and they've both been utter **** recently.) Leeds look to be in trouble playing City and Newcastle next, although I fully expect them to beat Spurs 6-0!
 
Yeah especially as he lost his "never been relegated" hat last time. And WTF is he supposed to do with 4 games left, 3 of which are against teams in Europe!?
 
Now I can relax as we've basically blown the league (barring a miracle) I can just sit back and laugh at some of the absolute **** shows of managerial comings and goings, not to mention transfer "strategies"
