Premier League Thread 2015-16

I think you under estimate the spirit of Leicester. They now have avrun of games where they could win the next five, the other clubs have much tougher fixtures ( on paper)

 

They did collapse today, though. Simpson needlessly got himself sent off for one. Arsenal of course are capable of psychological collapse too, of course, as they've shown many times.
Undeniable spirit, and I don't doubt it. I just prefer not to put all the eggs in one basket. If Leicester did collapse, it would only be Spurs who could capitalise if Arsenal had gone 8 points adrift. This way, it is definitely still a three or four horse race, with Arsenal also being able to capitalise.

 

Penalty Spurs

 

No way a penalty.

 

Good decision.

 

Controversial again...

 

Not really.

 

Arm was raised, unnatural position. Just hit his arm.

 

Huge moment. Didn't get enough replays to see if it was correct

 

The problem they'll face now is that teams will see a point against them as a great result and won't be so open. Not saying their not good enough to do it, but a different challenge lies ahead

 

Hit his rib.

 

Good penalty

 

And his arm. Definitely made contact with the arm.

 

You are taking the piss. You lose your own personal credibility when you defend Clattenberg as blindly as you do.

He ha his back to it and it hits his back. Just shows that Clattenberg isn't the great referee you make him out to be. Referees are supposed to be certain.

That was a decision made out of ego.

Appalling.

 

He was turning in the air of course his arm would be a bit out. No way a pen.

 

Tom. Give up your blind silly defende mate. It was a poor decision.

 

Theyre so clinical on the counter letting other teams attack for long periods doesn't really faze them

 

Nope because it was a penalty.

 

It didn't hit his back - it hit his rib area plus his arm.

 

Yes. You are blindly led by your desire to defend who you think is he best referee. He turned his back and if it made any contact with his arm, which I doubt, then was it deliberate?

You keep telling us that it has to be deliberate.

Are you saying that was deliberate or that rule is now ambiguous.

As I said. Decision out of ego.
