It was a good game to watch until the unjust red card. But you expect that was cheating Arsenal.

I thought that Bournemouth were brilliant. The one that that thing that gets my goat. You always know what team the commentators want to win. When Arsenal scored, Nail Quinn said ' Bournemouth are now becoming nervous.

The title will go t Chelsea now. Arsenal are now out of it

I just turned down the sound and watch it without sound. And then you get Wenger whining again at the linesman.

At he end of the season Arsenal should get rid of him.

was very good watch yes

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

You serious? You talk some bias crap. It was a blatant red and a quite incredibly bad challenge, his foot is over the ball, studs showing, scissor challenge and misses him by an inch. It doesn't even have to touch the player, it's a straight red.

How you claim to have refereed any sort of game in your posts is massively beyond me. I'd fear for the 22 players on the pitch should I ever see you on a field of play, because the only 'Unjust' logic I can come up with is that you genuinely believe it takes him to connect and break the lads leg before a card is shown.

Second bold, Pot kettle black a bit there? You're never bias. They should let you ref and commentate games, it'll be completely fair and bias free and we can expect the odd leg break.

Looks like Mike Phelan has lost some weight as well as his job according to the Mirror. :)

That looks like John Sheridan recent ex Notts County boss to me.

Chelsea with some absolutely cracking defending. Same player, same goal, twice.

COYS :D

Chelski 14th win win denied by Spurs beating them 2 - 0

I suppose that begs the question, can you think of a 14 word sentence where the first 13 words begin with W plus one L. :D

It was a superb game of football. I don't know wether Kane, was awake or asleep. He had a poor game.
I would have taken off Kane at half time and put on Sissoko or Son at half time.

It now opens the top four. And we should now have a good season

And one further answer for Nufc. I am a big fan of letting the game flow. And in the past fouls that we have seen on Tv and in person at grounds.

This is what football was about, now you only have to blow, and the player goes down in an oscar winning role. So therefore referees are scared to enforce the rules of the game. And they bring a new rule out for the offside rule.

I read an article by Mark Halsey today, that referees are now much poorer, than they were several years ago.
And that some are NOT good enough to referee. They just have to pass the fitness test, and they can then blow a whistle.

In my time, l saw loads of bad tackles, and the player stays down and is seen laughing. On the ground.

so every time a player goes down, is he seriously injured or not.

I packed up being a ref. several years ago. When players started to take the mick on were diving everywhere, the FA wouldn't do anything about it.

l haver another but alas it sadly does not involve Man Utd and Liverpool.;)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Not much point starting a thread for the EFL Cup, and with a match like the one I have just endured at OT perhaps as well. Hope Zlatan gets better for the weekend, his presence sorely missed tonight. A brave show from Hull given their stretched resources.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Mourinho is steering a frightening ship back in the right direction. 10 pts down? it's doable. United are slowly coming back and they're not even at full speed yet.

Still the Special One.

I missed todays gossip but it seems a twitter user sent people into meltdown around the web by convincing people Fernando Torres was about to sign for Newcastle. In the actual news however we seem to be about to test Derby with an £8m offer for Tom Ince.

Tim Krul is in limbo. Feel for the guy, a genuine converted geordie that would play at this level and has been at the club since his teens only to be fobbed off to Ajax whilst injured, have his spot covered and leave him with no route onto the pitch but no place at Newcastle? I like Darlow but Krul was one of the best on his day and had one of the most ridiculous games as a goalkeeper in a Premier League game i've ever seen:

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

10 wins in a row is good but I'm tired of other United fans saying "we're back". This isn't a strong United side. Stronger than the disastrous Moyes set-up but we've still got vulnerabilities and the OT fear factor hasn't returned yet.

I'm pretty certain Mourinho will bring in a few more players and clear out some deadwood between now and the summer and I think then we'll have the side he really wants.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Very true and I for one having actually been to every home game am a long way from crowing.

There is no doubt that the style of football served up this season has, in the main been much better to watch than the previous three. They are still playing with a right back on the left side, a converted winger at right back and centre backs who are all prone to mistakes including the excellent Bailley.

A Carrick/Scholes type of player is also urgently needed long term. Luke Shaw needs to step up to the plate or be replaced as well.

The Saints are going to regret tonight's performance, should have been out of sight by now. :(

Your boys got out of jail there Den, should have been at least 3 or 4 nil.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Very true Jim.

I'm going to Anfield for the second leg and a nice 2-3 goal cushion would have been handy.
