£1.5m? I know typo but not sure they need Dubai money for that :). Unfortunately the big clubs know they will get bailed out one way or another and they are like gambling addicts thinking the only way out is to spend more and more. Infuriating it works.

I alone really wanted the esl to happen. Not so i could watch it though just thing rest of football would be better with those knobs elsewhere

Pretty sure that was Wilders plan on second fury fight in fairness, happens

Or genius legal team are delaying until masters inevitably does of old age then the real bid will happen

It always baffles me who has time and inclination to log into an app and bother to send anyone abuse. It's one thing being small brained enough to hate someone its another to think i know what i will spend my afternoons doing, hurling vitriolic spew into the world. But hey what to I know cancel culture gone mad lolololol

It will be jones cos he will be cheaper than hiring someone. Doesnt really matter it's all just spiraling the grave regardless at this point

Arsenal need to calm this down, their game management is not great. Could easily have conceded and have a pen against

Oh yeah absolutely. I mean and then it was salvageable still, but then they hired mourinho...

Yes but a lot of that money would still be in replacing the striker rather than through whole squad. Would have to go for a fairly blue chip one. I guess they also feared losing him would be signal to squad of losing ambition, son may have kicked up a fuss to lose too. I don't think keeping him is a terrible idea tbh he probably will still be £100m+ next summer, maybe depreciate £20m and Kane probably earns that from league position if he's in team if he's playing his usual level. Unfortunately he is not playing his usual level.

Sacking Poch is one of the most hilariously stupid decisions, I would say classic sacking him cheaper than refreshing squad but under poch they had loads of saleable assets. Like our playres under bruce a lot look nowhere near as good since Poch left.

All the hindsight saying spurs should have sold Kane and rebuilt squad probably do ignore that likely all purchases would be hyper inflated and wouldn't have been so easy. Still Spurs are just naff. Lost all their dynamism when Erickson left and in decline since all it takes is for son or kane to be out of form and what is there?

Spurs are lucky the european super league didn't happen they'd be the newcastle of the league. Arsenal too really. Would being a whipping boy of the league really bring in that much extra money?

Especially impressive timewasting from matty longstaff considering he plays for Aberdeen

Looks like just trying to be funny

Proper awful reffing here

Bit harsh on muppets

On Saul, Man U were also in for him at one point? I guess player prefers Chelsea and living in london? As Chelsea are stuffed with high quality defensively minded midfielders (by far best midfield defensively in league) and Man U have absolutely none of even close to his quality and yet he ends up with Chelsea? Madness if Man U just thought Fred and McTominay will do

For everyone (and every pundit) who says it doesn't have to be 'deliberate' here are BOTH parts of teh handball law in relation to red cards on goal line. Here it determines what counts as an offence in relation to a handball. The problem is people think 'deliberate' has to mean the player has a moment to think aha here i move my hand to stop the goal, whereas the example it gives makes it more clear it is meant merely that the player makes a movement with hand that blocks the ball rather than it bouncing directly off. This is ambiguous. However I think they see it as either ambiguous or you end up giving reds for every handball (nonsense imo just make it only pen unless its clearly unsportsmanlike behaviour rather than mere instinctive movement) here is part 2 which I kept seeing quoted by those saying there is no 'deliberate' part and this is in relation to what the sanction should be This part makes no mention of it being deliberate. However what people who only read this part miss is that it is only an 'offence' if it is deliberate, see above.

The trouble is if they get rid of the 'deliberate' bit they will get loads of unfair reds, if they keep it in you have this ambiguity. I think solution is more pen should be fine punishment 90% of the time and the ref needs a higher bar for sending off for cases when it is clearly completely conscious and intentional

I think the deliberately bit gets people. I think the refs interpretation of 'deliberate' is as in the example 'player moves the arm towards the ball' which James does, rather than mind reading the player. It is merely meant to stop when ball just bounches dirrectly off at point blank range. James moved his arm and carried ball out o fgoal with it. It is ambiguous, it is daft to double punish pen is definitely enough of a punishment but strangely both a red card and no red card is in the rules so both sides can argue endlessly cos both interpretations seem fair.

We play such bad football. Considering half the pundit world bitched and moaned about how defensive Rafa played where are they now? Oh wait we can't even actually defend anyway...

It has to be a 'deliberate' handball to avoid reds for obvious bounces off arms. I am kinda alone in thinking he did kinda scoop the ball with teh arm in a forward motion rather than just have it richocet off so maaaaybe makes sense as a red but it is well harsh.

Red was well harsh but chelsea players lost heads, and all this surrounding refs is ridiculous

Ashley doesn't care, probably prefer us to go down than have to deal with another manager. Bruce says thank you sir after Ashley pisses on his face.
