Didn't the ref have a long chat with Zlatan after the incident?
It's going to depend on what he puts in his report
If he says he saw it and dealt with it as he saw it, is there anything the FA can do..?
Don't know, just asking....
If he booked him then no but don't think he did.

Two seasons ago I thought Wenger was a demi-god. Not anymore. Sadly, I agree with you. Time to be put out to pasture.

His time has been up for a long while.

Yes there are financial restraints but as other teams have shown money is not everything.

How about this;
If he plays FOR United, he's obviously guilty and should get at least a three game retrospective ban for anything caught on camera.
If he plays AGAINST United, give him the benefit of the doubt as 'only he knows' whether the unfotunate incident was intentional or not.


That'll keep most of 'em happy.
Think Bournmouth were very physical and tried to upset certain Utd players and you have to say that worked .
Mings I am not sure as I said Only he knows but to me it didn't look good.
But you really can't defend that from Zlatan.
He would be the first name on my Prem team sheet and I think he is a great footballer which makes some of the things he does unexplainable there's just no need.
If he gets banned you could miss out on top four its just so unnecessary.

Or just away playing golf and enjoying each other's company, as that what meets away are all about.


You can't say that......this is a golf forum and football talk is all anyone should be taking part in, it's more important than life itself you know;)

I agree meets are definitely about playing golf and having fun I don't think I have ever said different after all I have been on enough to know what goes on.

I have actually played with people who have been on the forum all round and have also posted whilst playing.

I believe I asked you before if you some signal or none it doesn't really matter though as I believe we can all see with our own eyes posters sometimes only post when it suits and there's no problem with that,just don't hide behind excuses when someone picks up on it.

We can see it goes on and this weekend is just another example.

Correct, I wouldn't and can't defend what he did.
He should be retrospectively banned, no doubt.
A player just can't behave like that and the fact that he'd had his head trodden on is no excuse. It may well be why he reacted, but that's no excuse ................. he should get a retrospective ban.

I could get a signal in my room through their wireless but in the bar it would very much depend on where you were sitting, also, many peoples batteries were so low from being on all day they came downstairs without their phones 😳

What I will say is, those Liverpool fans were rather quite in the bar when the footy was on, probably drowned out by me jumping up in the air shouting when Leicester scored 😜😳😂

Excellent strike by Kane but shocking defence from Everton, especially from Barry, Kane allowed to take so many touches, look up twice and Barry turns his back 😳

That correct Ian and that's how I saw it.

Why does he have to have been booked? If ref saw it and deemed no action needed and that's what's in his report then it's done and dusted. If he is talking to him over his moaning about the stamp but did not see elbow and reports he didn't see it then the FA can intervene

I was at the Liverpool game yesterday, stood in the Kop. Literally stood as no one sat down all match. Haven't posted since the game as I've been busy scrubbing myself clean😁. A neutrals observations:

Arsenal are still soft through the middle. Been the same now for 10+ years. Liverpool walked through them at times. I felt sorry for the centre halves as they were left to fend for themselves. Buy a proper defensive midfielder, simple. The Ox was the only decent attacker for arsenal first half. He put a shift in and I'd have him at Everton. Sanchez, he was an angry man. He fought with everyone and anyone yesterday. Final whistle, he ran down the tunnel. On your way son. He was poison for the team yesterday and no matter how good you are you can't have that.

Liverpool have a fluid and slick front four. Mane looked very, very good. Fast feet, fast legs, great control. Firminio gives the ball away a lot, too much. Good but sloppy. The big weakness is in goal. Mignolet, or Flappy as he shall now be known, is a cracking shot stopper but awful on crosses. He either doesn't come when he should or does come, flaps, misses or half punches. Playing Liverpool you just need to get wide and bang crosses in. The centre half's looked okay so put it closer to the keeper and attack him. You will have a field day.

I can see why Liverpool win matches and I can see why they lose them. Entertaining stuff though.

By the way. This is a view from behind the goal. It may be different from an armchair😂.

Everton committing suicide & gifting this result to Spurs. Goal not Williams fault imo, Schneiderlin offered himself then panic passed!

Do they have a plan B 🤔

He doesn't have to be booked I was just answering question of FA retrospective action.
I honestly think he did not see it as ,if he did he should have sent him off.
If he seen it and just told him off he should not be refereeing football matches.
I can't see how he would miss it as both went for the ball and refs always follow the ball , that's what they use when they miss something off the ball.

I know it's bad form to do manager envy... But, of the two currently on the box, I know which one I'd prefer make the short trip across to the Emirates...

I think a lot will depend on what/where Wenger goes though, I've said it before, if he goes upstairs I think he'll still interfere and that could put some off going there, if he goes altogether then fill yer boots.

Goal.........good finish 👍

The score certainly didn't reflect the game, Spurs are certainly only the 2nd team to batter us and at one stage thought it was looking like Chelsea away all over again.

1st defeat in 10, so still on a decent run and next 2 games at home and hopefully keep chasing top 6.

That was a rather nail bitting last 10 minutes plus injury time as Spurs fan.
Shame about Vertonghan slip as he had an excellent game up to that point, Lukaku finish was good with his weaker side.
Only hope the Mackems do us a favour againt city.
