Exactly! Fucking mental. He moves his arm towards the ball, it hits it twice, stops it dead. It would have run to Ings otherwise and somehow that's not a fucking penalty? Jesus fucking christ.If that was the other day round you know LiVARpool get the penalty all day long!
So it turns out Bournemouth and Fulham were worse than us so thats par. But only 1pt instead of 3pts from Arsenal and Liverpool.Last season for comparison:
Arsenal (h) L 1-2
Liverpool (h) W 3-2
Man Utd (h) L 1-2
Leeds (h) L 2-3
Man City (a) L 1-2
Brentford (a) L 0-2
Leicester (a) D 2-2
Palace (a) W 3-2
Bournemouth & Fulham (a) n/a but we beat Watford, Norwich and drew with Burnley
That would give us 11-13 points which would be enough but
(1) is totally dependant on Bournemouth and Fulham being worse than us which is TBD, and
(2) ignores the fact that we are much shittier than last season, ie picking up points at 60% of last seasons rate (we had 45pts this time last season).
One more win.So it turns out Bournemouth and Fulham were worse than us so thats par. But only 1pt instead of 3pts from Arsenal and Liverpool.
I think we'll be ok but its still in the balance.
You've already done that one.Can see Frank in there next season
Who would you have in as the next coach/manager?You've already done that one.
We're the last team he would come to. And we don't want him. This is his last position and he only got it cos he used to score goals for you. Crazy really that people running multi million pound businesses make decisions like that, but here we are.
No idea tbh. I still miss Slaven.Who would you have in as the next coach/manager?
Is McAvennie a manager?Can see Frank in there next season
With the Liverpool one I can understand that maybe just the rule is stupid or something. Like I look at it and think it's absolutely fucking crazy that it isn't a penalty but understand that maybe there's some weird rule where it can't be a penalty if your manager is Klopp or you're cheeky chappies. But this one is just cheating. The angle from the goal shows that there's no grabbing, no pulling. Why VAR don't change it I do not know.2 penalty decisions in a week go to VAR, and they get both wrong!
Haha, no way! I thought people were taking the piss. What a game that's going to be!Big Sam for Leeds! That'll add a bit of a spice to that game. I bet he'll take the job just for the chance to relegate us.
Meh, better than I expected. Paqueta looked good without Rice and Soucek. Like the Brazilian Ian Bishop.
I missed getting a ticket. Been to every game otherwise, apart from one I was away for. Bit annoying.Justification for non penalty is that the ball would've hit his body anyway. Is that the law? It looked like he moved pretty deliberately to deflect it with his arm. Handball law is such a mess now. Were there 2 disallowed goals too?
Anyway, we won, we're safe, and it looks like there is some life in the team yet. Thursday night to look forward to...European semi final!! I've got a ticket for home leg and pub booked for the 2nd. I wouldlike a little trip to Prague so please don't fuck it up lads.
