The Premier League thread

FT: West Ham 0-3 Chelsea

 

At this rate, we might have to qualify for the Champion's League. How embarrassing.

 

Interestingly, Yann M'Vila was in the Liverpool end at Goodison Park today. Photos floating about online.

 

The Mirallas foul is a golden opportunity for retroactive punishment. Nailed on red.

 

Thought Gerrard should have gone too actually.

Lukaku seems a thoroughly decent chap as well as a thoroughly decent player.

 

What a good game! Lukaku is probably the one player I'd sign whatever he cost.

 

Can't happen because the ref took action at the time.

Brown's red will obviously be rescinded.

 

Thought they changed that rule?

 

Not exactly, it's the same as before except the rules on when an incident has been seen by the officials are relaxed a bit. The ref still has to not see the incident or have an obstructed view, so they can't "re-ref" it.

 

For ****s sake.

If I did that to you on the street, it's assault. There isn't one good reason that decisions can't be reviewed.

If the verdict is blatantly wrong, you should get a retrial.

 

So Wes Brown's red will be overturned. They're perfectly happy to re-ref a decision there, so why not the other way round? Everyone knows it's a red. Rodgers knows it, Mirallas knows it, Martinez, despite his pathetic excuses (again) knows it.

 

It's a can of worms, Khal. FWIW, I agree with you.

 

The bee is firmly in my bonnet about this.

 

I quite understand. I feel the same way about in-game video ref aid. It's perfectly possible, but will they implement it..? Not until hell freezes over or until the Premier League clubs say, that's it, enough crucial bad decisions. That isn't so far away in my opinion. And I don't care if people say it'll take some of the excitement away. What it will do is make the game fairer and more honest.

 

Talking of GK errors Lloris has goofed and Man City went 1 up after 14 second, 3 up at half time.

 

Back to having the best defence in the league. Cheers City.

 

Likely to be 6th in the League after United play....oh, the humiliation. I suppose if we accept that we are not going to win the league (sigh), the best result for us if the top 4 clubs beat everybody else.

 

City have 5 now, we are easily still the best defence in the Premier.

 

Spurs look so disjointed, 5-0 now.

 

How much did Spuds spend in the summer?...Bwa haha!.....can't wait to play them at SMS
