The Official 2015/16 Premier League Thread

No, you are wrong about that. The defender didn't pass the ball. It was a block/deflection, not an intentional act, thus it's offside.

I thought that the defender has to be deemed in control of the ball in order to play opponents onside?

As the Leicester player merely stuck a leg out to block Benteke' shot.

I've never heard anything about being in control of the ball. Only that the touch has to be intentional.

It would be hard to argue that the defender didn't do what he wanted when he stuck a leg out there.

Apparantly it was only a good day for Emirates Marketing Project, we didnt get mentioned...but, let it stay like that, keep the pressure off our youngsters and heap it on the other challengers

If I'm understanding example 11 on the FA' site correctly, as the Leicester defender was trying to block Benteke' shot then that made Lucas offside when he attempted to latch onto the rebound.

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent, who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save), is not considered to have gained an advantage.

Exactly, just keep plodding along winning games and not being mentioned too much

Subs; Ospina, Debuchy, Koscielny, Monreal, Campbell, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi

Bournemouth Boruc, Smith, Cook, Francis, Daniels, Surman, Gosling, Arter, Pugh, Ritchie, King
Subs; Federici, Distin, O'Kane, Tomlin, Stanislas, Murray, Rantie

West Ham Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Tomkins, Ogbonna, Song, Kouyate, Noble, Antonio, Zarate, Valencia

Man Utd De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Young, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney

LVG giving in to common sense and bringing Scheiderlin back. Chambers in CM for Arsenal.
 
Hazard - 28 games without a goal and it hardly gets mentioned in the press. Kane goes 3 or 4 and it's constantly in the media.

Anyway, Man United v Chelsea, a game where every outcome has a plus. Same for tomorrow with Leciester v Emirates Marketing Project. probably would not mind a draw in both

Only a manager as good as Poch (and it took him a season) can recover a team from the damage caused by Captain Bellend.

No, they really are a bad football side, regardless of what Sherwood did or who he signed. They would have gone down in any of the previous 3 seasons if not for Benteke, who isn't there now.

If they'd had any kind of tactical and/or fitness work done over the summer then they would have had a decent chance. They've got a far better team than the likes of Bournemouth for example.

Captain Bellend did what he does best - turn professional footballers into clueless Sunday Leaguers
 
Anyone else think that Chelsea yellow should have been a red?

Other defenders were heading back, but Martial was moving so much faster than the others that they'd never have caught him.
