Premier League Gameweek 21

[Ahmer Baig]

Just imagine Glazers coming hard on officials after poor decision by them against man Utd.

 

[MayosNoun]

Heck of a finish that.

 

[MayosNoun]

Spurs midfield 3 of Sarr, Bissouma and Maddison is excellent.

Hojbjerg and Skipp are dreadful replacements though.

 

[Pintu]

That was some finish from Rasmus.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

1-1

 

[njred]

Get paid!

 

[Pintu]

Spurs aren’t that good but still the better team so far…

Burnley co-owner JJ Watt has social media account locked after NFL icon goes on furious VAR rant

No need to shout.

 

[duffer]

On Doggy lucky.

 

[duffer]

Lovely stuff.

 

[Pintu]

Great goal.

 

[MayosNoun]

Rashford no left foot

 

[duffer]

Werner is Wernering.

 

[MayosNoun]

Werner being Werner.

 

[Greyfog]

Licha! Let's goooooo.

 

[Klopper76]

There’s another goal in this game.

 

[Greyfog]

Surely Gil can offer more than the sh!t on a stick Werner

 

[MrMarcello]

I didn't see the first half but has Wan-Bissaka played all match at LB? I just saw him marauding up the left wing and he's covering the left flank in defense this half.

Yes he has.

 

[Klopper76]

Spurs have been the better team here. Still have a feeling there’s a United goal coming though.

Palace always have 3 or 4 players in their First XI that are past their sell by date.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Arsenal lead. Gabriel.

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

If that was us you just know it’d be chalked off and made into a meme on twitter.

“Maguire really thought he did something “

 

[Andycoleno9]

Remember that myth how Henderson is gk who is proactive on crosses?

 

[autopilot]

One of my pet peeves with VAR right there. The linesman is likely 99% sure that Jesus is offside, but keeps the flag down for the play. A Palace defender makes the interception and concedes the corner for what originally should've been an offside against Jesus in the first place.

 

[Catt]

2-0

 

[space]

That goal would have been disallowed if it was Man Utd I am sure of it

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

That goal would have been disallowed if it was Man Utd I am sure of it

100%

 

[lex talionis]

That could have been called a foul against the keeper. Close, but we’ve seen them given as fouls before.

 

[Jericho]

It's legal to deliberately obstruct the keeper like that?

 

[Karel Podolsky]

Similar to against Trafford last week.
It's legal now to block GK.

 

[ManUArfa]

If you're in possession of the ball you're entitled to shield it but if you haven't got the ball, and you're attempting to block the keeper's access to the potential path of the ball coming in, is that not an obstruction?

 

[lex talionis]

It is, but the referee has the discretion to determine whether a player is fairly holding his ground in anticipation of a ball that may be played to him or unfairly obstructing the keeper. In this case it was clearly the latter, but the referee didn’t see it that way.

 

[MrMarcello]

Looked blatant obstruction against the keeper without any attempt to make a play at/towards the ball. Thought I saw White take a step or two backwards with the ball in play further obstructing but what do I know.

Also wasn't the blocker in an offside position, in which case....

"Offside offence

interfering with an opponent by

: preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or..."

 

[2 man midfield]

What’s with this half assed winter break anyway? There’s been like 4 games for 2 weeks running now. Either have a proper break or put some decent games on at least.

 

[Withnail]

Both of those could have been disallowed on another day. He's climbing all over the defender in the first one.

 

[Jippy]

Both of those could have been disallowed on another day. He's climbing all over the defender in the first one.

Agreed, but more the keeper and defender being weak. Townsend is such an Arsenal shill, going on about Saka being 'bundled to the ground' when he took a dive.

 

[Withnail]

Yellow card for diving
