Premier League Thread

He gets injured a lot and always has done.

 

Spurs just equalised when City got a soft pen. City just scored 2-1.

 

Almost exactly the same spot that Dzeko went down against us last season.

And they've just got another one in the same place again! And Aguero misses the pen!

 

I would say justice as the first penalty should have never been awarded.

 

Agreed. Lampard definitely dived. Now off with a torn quad: is that the end of his City career, seeing as he's off to MLS in January?

 

Also, according the BT commentator in first half; spurs, Chelsea, City and Sunderland have the joint best defences in the league.

 

He must have missed the name at the top of the list, where it was just below the title.

 

The inability to see the name "Southampton" seems to be a common trait amongst commentators and pundits.

In other news John Moss has given the fourth penalty of the game, equalling the Premier League record. Straight red for Fazio on his debut.

 

I just hope that the other sides in the league treat us with the same flippancy and disregard as virtually all the mainstream TV pundits (print media seem to be an exception to this)

Unfortunately this is unlikely as other managers actually have eyes.... (and no top team bias)

 

Both BT commentators saying that it wasn't a red card but BBC news feed thinks it was.
I agree with the ref. Kaboul had missed it and if Aguero had not been pulled back he would have got on the end = clear goal scoring opportunity denied.

 

Another Andros Townsend special right there... (cut in and smashed at least a foot over the bar in case anyone needed to ask...)

Do people think he is still on our wanted listed even after the signing of Mane?
Was our interest ever actually confirmed?

 

Yes, I agree. The ref waited until Kaboul had missed the ball before he gave it. Aguero would have been on it with only Lloris to beat, so a definite red card.

 

I don't think it was a red card. I would have been mightily pissed off if that was against us. No arguments about it being a penalty though.

 

He is a Spurs player though...reason enough for a red card

 

Newcastle game delayed...big screen has come loose from supports. Fans not in as scaffolding up.

 

Could be a hard day for Palace. 0-1 against Chelsea. 25/75% possession too.

 

4.00 kick off.

 

I was told at the time Townsend was back up, just in case we didn't get who we wanted.

 

Andros would be a step backwards, & a bargaining chip for Spuds, I hope we stay well clear.
