The Premier League Thread

Love Amerone and Barolo but always a bit put off by the price tag. Wish I could find one which is good but not quite so expensive! Guess I’ll just have to move to Italy!

Aldi do a Amarone imitation... can’t recall the name. Cheap. Good.

Some Italian/Indian chap told me about it.

Aldi used to do a 'fake' Amarone called Aimione before COVID. It was £4.99 and absolutely stunning. Hopefully they will get it back in soon.

You are right though - Italians keep the best wine for themselves.

ah balls.

Burnley 1 up away at Palace.

Bugger! And Bastards!

I only realised this morning that Callum Wilson is suspended for Bmouth tomorrow (and at the weekend too).

Unless King passes a fitness test, they'll be going into arguably their biggest match since promotion, with just Solanke and Surridge. 1 PL goal and 4 Championship goals between them.

PS. How does a striker manage to pick up 10 yellow cards? Not a side of Wilson's game I'd previously realised existed.

I can't see them winning another game now. And although I'd like Villa to put up a fight with Watford & WHU, I can't see them getting back above the line at any point. Sadly, I think the relegation fight is over.

Looking forward to tonight's game (Brighton v Utd). Got both these teams in two weeks time, so will be interesting to see how they play and who will be hopefully missing.

Don't switch on just yet, they are talking about L'pools marvelous recruitment, time for a hot brew of carlsberg......that should take 10 minutes...................

Pukes.

Sick of it now. Did you know Liverpool won the PL? I certainly didnt, hardly heard a peep out of it.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

A silent stadium? With few people actually watching? The Man Utd players must feel like they're playing at home

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Greenwood puts the visitors ahead. Good goal.

Bruno fernandes is no JWP

Could get messy now

Shaw looked a tad offside there, but presumably VAR didn’t look back the whole 5 seconds to that phase.

That decision is outrageous! When goals have been disallowed because a toe was in front how on earth can they say Shaw was onside? As for the ball bouncing out of play earlier .....
I’d love to have seen the row if it had been given against Man U

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

They have really cut back the use of var in the restart. The games have been flowing nicely. I'm really pleased, even if it does miss a few little things. But then you have to ask, whats the point in it!

Crazy. The ball wouldn’t have got to Pogba without Shaw cutting it back, so Fernandes wouldn’t have scored. They didn’t even appear to check for offside, which arguably is the one concrete thing VAR can be used for objectively.

Exactly! So what is going on? Bet they’d have checked snd checked it if Brighton had scored like that. Makes me totally uninterested now ....

Bias towards the "big club"

 

[st_brendy]

Just because Sky didn't show it, doesn't mean that VAR didn't review it. People are jumping to conclusions. It's not like the Sheff Utd "goal", where it was plainly clear that the goal line technology failed.

Dan Burn was stood slightly behind the rest of his defence - he might well have kept Shaw onside. He's standing on the other side of the pitch though, so it's not easy to tell. But there's a reasonable chance that Shaw was onside.
