I don't mean to drive the team coach :ears:

I see you're moving the goalposts again

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Exactly.
Tbf he's only really a bit part player at Arsenal.

I think he has stagnated at arsenal. I like him as a player and a fresh start would do him some good. A good number of clubs will be in for him, he's young, talented and English, don't forget the quota system.

Well that's one Southampton have got away with - clear pen which it looks like the Linesman should have seen

Yeah I think he's decent.
He definitely needs a move.

Looked like the keeper got a finger to the ball first on the replay.

Only seen the side replay which doesn't show a touch but the ref must think he touched it - need to see the replay from behind

So from behind there is a touch but then Poll says it's still penalty because the touch on the player is after ?

That seems really confusing

 

[Old Skier]

IMO ref got it right, mostly through more luck than judgement. Poll confused the whole issue.

Not at £35m though. I suspect it's just the start of silly season where everybody gets linked to the top clubs.

Everton wouldn't know about this though :ears: :rofl:

Imagine what it'll be like when video referees come in.

I think refs are only allowed to award penalties when they're 100% sure it is one.
If in doubt, give nowt.

Unless it's for Yernited then just give it

Man City look a totally different team with Kompany playing - shame for him about his injuries

No, that's Origi's job once he's parked the coach :whoo:

Who mentioned top clubs, he said he's been linked to you lot :clap:

I thought he wanted to go to any club above Everton :cheers:

Seriously what is he doing?? 😳

:rofl:

I think you you will find that your boys have had quite a few more penalties than us this year.....and in fact more since the prem started

Just been reading an article on some players that will be out of contract this summer available for a free

Any players you would like to see your club pick up any ?

Robben
Xabi Alonso
Pepe
Thiago Silva
De Rossi
Cazorla
Carrick
Fernandinho

Still think Silva , Robben and Alonso would be great signings for a couple of seasons

Quite rare in these days of uber hype in all forms of media but Xabi Alonso is so underrated it's ridiculous IMO. Absolutely superb player but very rarely get's talked about or the spotlight put on how good he is.

I'd be surprised if Utd let Carrick go, hardly like he's any pace to lose is it? Edit: and another underrated player IMO.

Been one of the best midfielders in Europe over the last decade and more - he was amazing for us and was gutted when he left , irreplaceable

Haven't seen as much in regards Carrick but whenever he plays for UTD they seem to play better , sometimes i have felt he is a bit lightweight at times to control the middle of the park , always wondered what he would be like alongside Gerrard for England
