The Premier League Thread

Yes - exactly. In my opinion, Vardy (even though I don’t like him) didn’t deserve a red more than Kenedy .... outrageous

 

Yep, couldn’t agree more. Frustrating for the fans of the teams concerned, needs to the same rules for everyone.

 

What about Harry Arter? Got a yellow for a wild, wild swing that should have been red.
I guess he got away with it because the ref was possibly trying to even things up after the Kennedy incident.

 

nah he got away with it because it was a homer ref

 

I dream of having a homer ref.

 

I'd take Bart & Homer over Mason!

 

City in goalkeeper crisis......

 

How about an England international on loan

 

Good thing the window closed early or we would not have Gunn.

 

What are the rules for an emergency keeper loan?

 

You ask for one, and if you’re as big as Man City, you get one?

 

The debate rumbles on.....

Worth it for the comments alone.

Pellegrini moaning fans leaving early and West Ham directors moaning that the landlords took down their 'honours list'. To be fair, the post it note probably just blew away....
