Same Old Top Four: English Premier League 2021-2022

[ursus arctos]

I'm sorry, but I think the evidence shows that Ton Ton is their principal target.


You and ad hoc are collateral damage

[Satchmo Distel]

Games without neutral officials must surely rely on good faith between the teams and officials on calls such as handball, corners and offside, whereas football with officials often assumes there will be the dishonesty from players we see in every televised game.

[Toby Gymshorts]

There is nothing that pisses TonTon off more than having nothing to be pissed off about.

[Duncan Gardner]

He can sort that quickly by unblocking other posters

[San Bernardhinault]

DDT at least eliminated malaria in a number of parts of the world. VAR has never offered anything of value to anyone.

VAR would be massively improved if its use on offside was only for decisions that are wildly wrong, the equivalent of umpire's call on LBWs, rather than actually thinking that it had the magical ability to be mm perfect. Even then it would still be rubbish, but at least it would be much less rubbish.

[Sean of the Shed]

DDT wasn't invented with malicious intent.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Neither was VAR. Probably.

[Jah Womble]

Spurs 1-0 Burnley - another fairly soft pen goes our way. But that was way more stressful than it should’ve been.

Over to you, Arsenal…

[Sean of the Shed]

West Ham 1-0 up v Man City against the run of play.

[Jah Womble]

…and they’ve played them pretty well since going ahead.

[Jah Womble]

2-0 at h/t. Liverpool’s weekend gets better and better.

[Gas In Name Only]

Tottenham have done their job and Brighton 1-0 up at Leeds. Potential for Everton to be safe tonight

[Sean of the Shed]

Proper rope-a-dope stuff from West Ham this first half.

[Jah Womble]

2-1 - Grealish the unlikely scorer.

[Third rate Leszno]

2-2. City will go on and win this unless their keystone cops defending undoes them again.

[Sean of the Shed]

Now 2-2. Desperate own goal.

[Jah Womble]

2-2. City will go on and win this unless their keystone cops defending undoes them again.

That pair of incidents was bizarre. Schoolboy stuff.

I figured that West Ham would probably regret not converting at least one of them.

[Sean of the Shed]

Penalty to Man City after VAR intervention.

[Sean of the Shed]

Which Fabianski saves from Mahrez.

[Patrick Thistle]

I approve of the sentimental subsituation to bring on Mark Noble, but I was a bit surprised that it was so early.

[Gas In Name Only]

ffs Brighton

[Snake Plissken]

It’s an immutable law of football that every Brighton game ends 1-1.

[Third rate Leszno]

Bit of karma for Seamus Coleman there - one minute you're screaming in Christian Eriksen's face and the next you're deflecting the ball into your own net.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Come on, Brentford.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Put the mazzy on that, didn't I?
