Premier League Thread 2015-16

I feel it's more to do with how people react. Some go "it's clearly a pen" and some go "it's clearly not" both sides butt heads with neither willing to move. When really it could have been given but it wasn't.

 

I respect other people's opinions, but I keep hearing this " not a penalty for me, but I wouldn't of argued had it been given". So you do think it was a penalty then?

 

I am in the could have been a pen camp, not should have been a pen camp. Refs are too inconsistent to label the Mertesacker thing a certain pen. But then if it was given I wouldn't complain.

 

Arsenal waste so many attacks, at least we shoot and miss! They don't even shoot!

 

Tbf there is a lot of gray area regarding footballing rules. I know refs have a hard job and generally try not to be harsh on poor decisions or performances ( apart from Kevin 'ineptitude in human form' Friend.) We see decisions made every week where even after numerous replays, camera angles and expert commentary viewers/fans will still be split massively by a refs decision.

Sometimes decisions are quite easy but with pace of the modern game, a lack post match inquiry and rules being left open to interpretation somewhat most decisions are debatable to some degree.

 

Exactly this.
Really riles me when pundits claim "his hand/arm was in an unnatural position".

 

Arsenal could really do with getting Welbeck (or Walcott) on, and actually play with 11 players. I've been a supporter of Giroud in the past, but in Arsenal's last few games he has been a mixture of awful and anonymous.

 

Sunderland have stepped it up!

 

Walcott has been even worse then Giroud lately.

 

That was close.

 

Walcott **** himself when Kaboul went in.

 

Sunderland deserve all 3 points. Arsenal have been shocking.
I am bitter as they have ruined my bet.

 

****ing woeful!!

 

2-0

 

Swansea are ****e. 2-0 Leicester.

 

flip flops.......

 

Still stand by saying these will be the worse team to ever win the league.

 

Will Guidolin stay for next season? What happens if someone (for example, I don't know...us) makes a good offer for Sigurdsson? The 3 teams coming up will probably be pretty competitive. They will be one of the relegation favourites.

 

Swansea are getting bought out by rich Americans..

 

Getting owned today as well........
