Who is Leicester’s centre back? He seems lost. The one with shorter hair

I think it is a foul by Ben there, but that looked like a penalty as well.

Arsenal's best chance of scoring is allowing Leicester to have as much of the ball as possible.

Martinelli is so bad

Do Leicester not play counter attacking football ever? Watching them they seem clueless at attacking the space on the break - complete opposite of us

I can't watch this Leicester side any longer. I'd rather watch Palace or Bournemouth.

Which is weird because if Rodgers can't get a team playing attacking football then I don't know what he offers.

Longer this goes on the more it feels like Villa will probably score against the run of play. Should be winning.

Regarding Zinchenko's Ukraine armband. While I'm sure we all agree with the sentiment, isn't there a rule against political slogans? I may have missed discussion of this but surely it shouldn't be permitted.


5. Slogans, statements, images and advertising

Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo. For any offence the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or by FIFA.


Principles


  • Law 4 applies to all equipment (including clothing) worn by players, substitutes and substituted players; it's principles also apply to all team officials in the technical area
  • The following are (usually) permitted:
    • the player's number, name, team crest/logo, initiative slogans/emblems promoting the game of football, respect and integrity as well as any advertising permitted by competition rules or national FA, confederation or FIFA regulations
    • the facts of a match: teams, date, competition/event, venue
  • Permitted slogans, statements or images should be confined to the shirt front and/or armband
  • In some cases, the slogan, statement or image might only appear on the captain's armband

Interpreting the Law


When interpreting whether a slogan, statement or image is permissible, note should be taken of Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct), which requires the referee to take action against a player who is guilty of:


  • using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s)
  • acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way

Any slogan, statement or image which falls into any of these categories is not permitted.


Whilst 'religious' and 'personal' are relatively easily defined, 'political' is less clear but slogans, statements or images related to the following are not permitted:


  • any person(s), living or dead (unless part of the official competition name)
  • any local, regional, national or international political party/organisation/group, etc.
  • any local, regional or national government or any of its departments, offices or functions
  • any organisation which is discriminatory
  • any organisation whose aims/actions are likely to offend a notable number of people
  • any specific political act/event

When commemorating a significant national or international event, the sensibilities of the opposing team (including its supporters) and the general public should be carefully considered.


Competition rules may contain further restrictions/limitations, particularly in relation to the size, number and position of permitted slogans, statements and images. It is recommended that disputes relating to slogans, statements or images be resolved prior to a match/competition taking place.

”To show our continued League-wide support to the people of Ukraine, the Premier League and its clubs will demonstrate that "Football Stands Together" in all matches taking place from 24-26 February.

The captains at the matches will wear armbands in Ukraine’s national colours of blue and yellow.

“Football Stands Together” badges made by hand by Ukrainian children temporarily displaced by the invasion will be available for managers to wear.

The same message of "Football Stands Together" will also be displayed to the fans at the stadiums via the big screens.

The millions of managers who play Fantasy Premier League will see the same messaging when checking their teams.

This display of solidarity will accompany the public moments across the UK that the UK Government, working closely with the government of Ukraine, will mark on 24 February.

As well as a national moment of silence at 11:00 GMT in the UK, national flags of Ukraine will fly at full mast at various public buildings, while other buildings will be lit up in yellow and blue. People can show their support on social media using the tags #StandWithUkraine and #StandForFreedom.”

It’s a PL campaign.
