The Premier League Thread

Can't see them being anywhere near the bottom 3 come May.

 

Now that's impressive. You sure you haven't seen that factoid somewhere?

 

No I just remember that Sheffield United were in League one during our Championship season which is West Ham's only season in it in recent times.

And I'm taking a punt that they haven't played a cup game since

 

Where was Grimsby Town in 1970? Don't look it up!

 

Don't have a clue mate, over 20 years prior to my existence


I'd guess at 2nd or 3rd tier though.

 

Old Div2?

 

Oh that is so, so sweet.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

(I still hate the rule, mind.)

 

Oh I know I know!

Up North.

 

The look on David Moyes' face when that goal was disallowed.

 

Fans kicking off.

 

It had to happen didn't it after the Tevez affair!

 

It's not football anymore. Not to me anyway.



Curious to know what the defined time limit for going back to a handball is, presumably it's just upto the bloke on the day to decide whether he wants to allow the goal or not.

 

That's not handball

 

Rules are rules. Had to be disallowed.

 

Why?!?!??! How **** is that handball ?

 

Few hammers fans on the pitch after the 'goal'. As I said it was silly to have this as a Friday night considering both clubs have a fair few dickhead.

 

I have no problem with VAR, but that rule is ****ing ****, now all you have to do to defend is kick the ball at an attackers hand and any goal they subsequently score will be disallowed.

 

the controversy was how the **** we ended up with a £30m fine despite Sheffield United breaking exactly the same rule.

 

Under the current laws of the game it is I'm afraid. VAR had no leeway at all.

 

As ever, its the easy option to blame VAR... when in fact it's the actual rules.
