The Official 2021/22 Premier League Thread

Well done burnley.

Yep, nipped to the shops, checking the phone every 2 minutes. Bit of a bonus, pity now United got that late goal

 

[JerusalemMan]

About 20 looks at it for nearly 4 minutes. How can that mean it was a clear and obvious error. And even after all that time I was not convinced it was a pen, but then it dawned on me, it was Liverpool.
That is not given at the other end

100%

This break is a fudging joke
Some clubs have 17/18 days until their next league game
Yet there are 4 or 5 teams who are 3/4/5 games behind others

No worries. Those 3/4/5 games will be played within a week near the end of the season. No problems whatsoever.

Especially if we have a chance of Top 4 100% !!!

It really makes no sense to have no rearranged matches in the break, teams have basically had a break already.

For normal thinking people it makes no sense. For the PL it's perfectly logical.

Makes perfect sense, as Liverpool have 3 key players out in Africa for another couple of weeks.

So the PL make a joke decision which benefits Arsenal and punishes Tottenham. They then realise it was wrong and put in place new rules so it can't happen again...

Imagine my shock!

Reminds me of the Son penalty (against Rotherham in the cup?), when rather than ask him to retake they gave a free-kick the other way. Think they changed the rule afterwards as never seem it before or since!

 

[monkeybarry]

Such a monumental decision!! Really difficult to get the balance right. I can see why it took until half way through the season to decide.

And booked him iirc. Booked for stopping his run up and disallowing the subsequent goal. Priorities eh?

 

[MKSpur]

So just the 4 false positives required then…

 

[elyid]

They should have had rules based on number of cases and training ground shut etc set in stone from the start.
Ironically it was Arteta who was most vocal in complaining so can't really begrudge him then taking the tinkle later.

 

[Robbo]

Could they be any more predictable?

 

[markysimmo]

Mason Greenwood is in big trouble !!
Disgusting runt !!

 

[Rorschach]

Sweet jeebus will someone just play a game of football. It's been months since there was a match.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

It's been a while but filling the gap with Canada's wonderful play in World Cup qualifying. Unbeaten in 10 games, could clinch qualification with a win in El Salvador tonight. Check out this 45-yard dart of a pass - a Liam Fraser laser - and the fine finish from Jonathan David:

Apologies for the commentator (45-year-old virgin).

I see Glenn Hoddle had a go at Dele Alli over the weekend and how he was dressed while being unveiled to the Everton crowd. I have to applaud rte.ie for their reporting of the story and trolling of Glenn with this picture (https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2022/0207/1278365-allis-appearance-irrelevant-to-lampard/):
