Liverpool are the biggest collection of cheats and divers in European football, yet most referees give them the benefit of doubt and instead of handing out yellow cards for their theatrics, they hand them gift wrapped penalties and free kicks instead. Pool have also been handed the least number of bookings in the PL this season, as well as 6 offside goals. And yet, their fans claim to be the victims and hard done by.
What has the linesman seen there to warrant a free kick to Pool...... the fantasy of a Pool title win perhaps?
Are you sure the linesman is not signalling to the ref that the Toon player is 'Jimmy Liddel' offside ??
Ha ha ha ha - hopefully VAR will put this right - lets not forget that two of ours Rose and Son were clearly fouled, in the end these stats once again just prove how the inconsistent refs are when dealing with simulation. As a matter of interest will you be wearing the PGMOL logo on your shirts next season to confirm their sponsorship of your team?
Apparently whichever of Arsenal or Man Utd finish sixth will have to pre qualify for the Europa League if Watford beat Man City in the FA Cup final. That would clash with our match against Man U in the ICC on 25 July and I assume something similar for Arsenal. I wonder if they thought if that when they signed up for the ICC
And this an example of the bookings Bale collected for simulation, can you really say that this alot different to quite a few penalties that you have been awarded this season?
Some fans still think we can blow top 4? Bet our team thinks the same Fans should not let their negative outlook seep into the team. It's the equivelent of jeering them...due to a lack of faith. I've said it before and will say it again The fans and the team feed each other.
I doubt we have only got about 20 fans There's about 60000 paranoid ****s every other weekend thinking we can't win a one horse race.
59,999 - my younger brother's booked his flights and hotel in Madrid already. He's endlessly optimistic. He told me AVB was the answer, even when it was obvious that the only question which it could answer was.... "Which PL manager really needs sacking today?"
If a lot of the squad from 2016 had not set a Spursy precedent, we would not be worried what the effect of a loss to Ajax could have on sunday.
Whoever thinks there will be an 8 goal swing in favour of Arsenal on Sunday when they have Burnley Away needs to stop smoking the Green stuff My only concern is finishing 4th might have repercussions such as a poor Pot and or QF round(not sure) However, beggars can't be choosers...I'll take top 4 anyhow and our most important game in Yonks is on Wednesday night.
Twenty-six teams qualify automatically for the group stage of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League. The following sides go directly to the group stage: UEFA Champions League holders; UEFA Europa League winners; the top four in the Spanish, English, Italian and German leagues; France and Russia's top two; domestic champions in Portugal, Ukraine, Belgium and Turkey.
In the event it happens, prepare for a reply of "Shut it, gobshite" for everything you post thereafter. "My only concern is finishing 4th might have repercussions such as a poor Pot and or QF round(not sure)" Last time I checked, Spurs will be in draw pot 2. Bert will probably give us the full state of play late sunday evening.
Does 4th place no longer have to go through qualifying rounds before the group stage? When did they change that rule? And no, if your answer is "last season when Liverpool finished 4th", I wouldn't be remotely surprised.
