Premier League Games 1/2/3/4 Jan 2021

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

We can do it for the Chelsea game. Show the players the corruption in this game: No yellow cards until they were winning, the penalty they got... the players know they'd never get any of that treatment. Remind them of the media witch hunt over the positive COVID cases, including Lampard's comments.

A City win will be the last thing they want, lets make it happen.

We need to go on a run like two years ago to do anything.

It's weird, i have quite a few Villa fans as friends on FB, not one of them complaining about the pen, just muttering about defensive lapses

Brainwashed by the constant peddling of pundits after games saying “well it’s the right decision it’s a pen“ and just shrugging their shoulders probably thinking maybe it was ..

Please tell me that is not what they go the winning Pen for?

I can lie and say no

An example of a penalty which is given for some teams and not others, either way not overturned as clear and obvious. Defender gets wrong side and attacker ensures there is contact, sadly we know where we stand. Personally I think the rules need changing and there should be a higher threshold for a penalty, although not holding my breath!!

A higher threshold does nothing to highlight the interpretation.... why have a media outlet to assist on matters if it isn’t going to be utilised? Oliver can naturally interpret (angles permitting) that there was contact, however, when that is reviewed it is conclusive that there was an error. The whole thing stinks, as I’m not having that when it was reviewed they didn’t see the Michael Flatley jig!

That's the winning doggy penalty like many others they have got recently

Pogba clips his own leg - purposely i'd say too... how the fuck can that stand when reviewed by VAR... how can any pundit defend that decision... I know the game and VAR are corrupt, but fuck me - try and be a bit more convincing

Glad the extra days Neverton gained worked in their favour , you reap what you sow you scouse bastards.

What do you think mate? Turned it off right after, such a bad decision, even after a var review shows it's bent. I'd be embarrassed if City got a pen for that.

 

[Beanhead]

I have been playing football (at an Admittedly low level) for 35 years (yes, I should stop) but not once have I kicked my own calf when running... or seen it whilst playing for that matter. Why? Because it doesn’t happen naturally.. even with a tangle of legs, you will never see that on a Sunday league game for that reason.. it’s staged theatrics. What is different between the way a park player runs compared to an elite player? Absolutely nothing aside from there is more at stake so they cheat.

Gary Neville will call it being cute. I will call it blatant cheating. You decide who is right.

Word in media is that "Pogba is inventive"
