Yeah im pretty much in the same page Pete.

Even without your tradition, logic dictates most teams will of had more brits in them Pre PL.
Give it 20 years and you’ll be talking about how you’ve never won a PL without an ex Saints player

All pots run dry.....

Ive enjoyed watching the last few League Cup games with no VAR, football is so much better instead of stop/start PL games.

Son was a yard onside running sideways lol, Foden was offside for his goal last night

Yeah, the truth is somewhere between the two sadly. The games were certainly better to watch - but two blatantly wrong decisions there. Luckily neither affected the results.

Tuchel sacked by PSG with rumours that Poch is his replacement

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That just shows what sort of club PSG are

I point off the top , through into the KO stages of the CL

Yet sacked ?!

Also seen a lot of stuff about the Richarlinson incident where he was wiped out by Bailly after a small push by Fernandes

Naughty from Fernandes. Not quite at the Kane level of doing it while the player is airborne and he can’t know that Bailly is going to make the follow up challenge but it looks bad.

Cavani stranglehold not good either

Tbf as it was on Mina I'd let him off. Mina is an insufferable wind-up merchant.

Grealish stays on his feet with contact for one and gets a great chance

Shows he can stay on his feet when he chooses

Ming's stupid there

Got booked for a dodgy tackle / bit of afters with zaha

Then decides to foul him again just after

Game on second half!

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Zaha is as bad as you can get when it comes to histrionics and throwing himself to the ground - talented player but seems to spend all match throwing his teddies about. His reaction from the first issue with Mings got him booked when he didnt really do much and even that episode was started with Zaha doing a little push but even then Zaha throws himself to the ground to get the second yellow. All a bit pathetic

 

[clubchamp98]

Poor decision imo to send Mings off.
Saha pushed him first so if that’s a foul and a red why hasn’t Saha been punished for the push.
That’s bad reffing for me.
Was a good game but attack v defence now.

 

[Papas1982]

Well that's a pen imo.

A crappy one to have go agaisnt you. But have defo been plenty awarded for lesser handballs.

 

[clubchamp98]

Very good from Villa second half.
Can see a red for Palace coming .

 

[clubchamp98]

Villa brilliant second half.
Suprized me thought they may sit back.
Grealish and Watkins excellent and the keeper.
Poor from Palace

One mighty odd looking Arsenal side

Good to see Smith Rowe and Martinelli in

Horror to see Xhaka brought straight back after suspension yet again, disgusting in fact, surprised to see Elneny too, surprised to see Bellerin ahead of AMN

Merry xmas Chelsea

 

[Piece]

Chose the wrong game to watch. Fulham v Saints a dull 0-0.

 

[fundy]

oh joy, Gabriel self isolating so misses next 3 games

 

[USER1999]

This is one strange line up. Certainly would not have picked Xhaka, and Lacazette is a strange choice of striker, given he is a bit crap.

 

[USER1999]

On the bright side, so does Luiz. I think.

mmm....obviously losing patience with Pepe. Wtf is Xhaka doing back in there. Could have stuck Ceballos or AMN as CDM.
