Premier League Games 1/2/3/4 Jan

[cleavers]

Just said VAR is to be used for the semi finals of the league cup, we still won’t get anything given correctly.

Using it in some of the FA Cup games this weekend too.

I'm not quite getting why a rag ref would want to help Chelsea (3rd) over a team that are in 6th. Can someone explain that?

An Arsenal win jeopardizes their chances of a top 4 finish more than a Chelsea win.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Wenger right now...

Is that his last layer under sleeping bag ?

It’s a contact sport, not all kicks and contacts are fouls.

That’s become the problem. I don’t think the tap on the sole of his foot was enough to prevent hazard from continuing play but he jumps in the air holding his shin. Replays show ‘contact’ and the cmmmenators use that as reason for a penalty. Contact does not mean foul.

And that’s why Ozil would never make it in a Pep team: far too nonchalant.

As Neville has just said Video technology will be a nightmare Even they don't know if it was a pen. And on here its 50/50.

Most of the time it will get decisions right though.

Hazard is an insanely gifted footballer. When you look at what Pep has done with Sterling, imagine what he could do with a player like Hazard.

he is a snidy cheating twat

 

[squirtyflower]

We might not but we would have been screaming blue murder on here had we not.

City fans wanting a City penalty, on a City forum, get away.

 

[Armaan]

Lacazette is average

Very.

Chelsea losing or drawing will be 1 or 2 points behind united, and in either case will finish higher, so the further Chelsea are behind us the better, and imho, none of them will catch us, or even get close, and united will be lucky to finish in the top 5 anyway the way they are playing (though losing Lukaku could be a bonus for them).

Further away Chelsea are from us, more we can concentrate on the CL & cups.

Others will deal with the rags.

 

[squirtyflower]

Ok it went right above my head ;)
But rags will drop below Chelsea?

But it does keep the chasing pack for top four at arm's length

There are a few more layers after that but we’re banned from discussing those on this family-safe platform.

I don't think people realise there's a very decent chance the rags finish 5th if Chelsea start playing well and Spurs make the improvement you'd expect with Wanyama and Alderweireld coming back.

If their goals for and against start tending towards their expected goals for and against then it'd be more than a decent chance

Of course he dived.

can I just remind everyone what everyone thought of B Silva,s penalty against Burnley, when he had his ankle trapped but was holding his foot.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

why isn't it a penalty, Bellerin kicks the bottom of his foot and is no where near the ball. Now you can say Hazard made the most of it but he hasn't dived like Wiltshire.

It was the biggest dive of the night. He was kicked on the foot that was in mid air and went down on his standing leg as if he was kicked on that. It was a disgraceful dive

I'm just not sure mate.

Some people still think Lukaku is world class. Don’t you @BlueHammer85

He didn’t have his ankle tapped, he had his ankle sat on

your foot is connected to your ankle
