Can add another one to the list of our ex-academy making it in the big time as Max Alleyne debuted for Man City in the Prem tonight.

Let’s hope he continues to make strides & sells for £100mill as we’ve got a 20% sell on fee!!

Fair play to Semenyo. Continued to play for Bournemouth despite being on the verge of leaving and still coming up with moments like that last minute winner for Bournemouth last night. Makes it easier to stomach your best players going when they go out the right way.
 
Good to see a referee clamp down on dissent and give Grealish his marching orders last night. Also Michael Keane did a Jack Stephens and got sent off for a hair pull.
 
<laugh> Superb ****housery from whichever Bournemouth staff member gave him that last night.

Disgusting behaviour from Martinelli, pushing Bradley off the pitch when he was clearly injured (and could be a bad one). Liverpool's players showed restraint TBH by not lamping him one and taking a red card.

Just said elsewhere that one of the Pool players should have done him just above the kneecap.

He threw the ball at him beforehand too. Probably should have been two yellows?

Maybe but not sure the referee saw him throw the ball at him. I'd have gone **** this and given him a straight red and take the bollocking for a wrong decision. Although you could say he endangered the safety of an opponent so......
 
Mind you, feigning injury as a tactic is also a scourge of the game, I'm nearly eighty, played footie for about forty years, served in the forces, worked in construction for years, had my fair share of injuries but never severe enough to go squirming around on the ground, beating the earth with a hand in such excruciating pain as some of these guys. Never used to see it in the old days and don't see it in women's football(yet)

Yes, you are right and I'm sure Martinelli would himself waste time by lying on the ground if Arsenal were trying to see out a game. The only thing I can say in his defence is that Bradley, while badly injured and apparently in a lot of pain, still managed to move himself further onto the pitch.
I do find it amusing though that comments criticising Martinelli for his aggressive behaviour, say that he deserved to be lamped, chinned and done just above the kneecap. :emoticon-0136-giggl

I didn't say he deserved to be lamped, I said I was surprised a Liverpool didn't lamp him one.

I wouldn't say he deserved it for aggressive behaviour, he deserved it for being a ****house ****.

I certainly wasn't criticising him for being aggressive.
