Other games (2024/25)

[Sibierski]

Pep will sit on his hands till like 75 min then make changes, at which point game is in lock down stage.

This is sounding piss for Palace? The fucking performance levels we had to deliver to win the League Cup compared to Palace man

Hoping for extra time. 

City playing in 3 days. Think its a good chance they could end up losing against Bournemouth. Need City to win though so that Bournemouth have something to play for. £3m per position might count as something anyways i guess.

£200M spent in Jan and these lot look incredibly ordinary.

Palace have played mint the whole cup run tbf, smashed Villa in the semi.

[Sima]

 

 

That explanation from VAR.

[Turnbull2000]

Just seen a photo of the Henderson incident. His hand must be a yard outside the box, and Haaland would prob have scored if he hadn't reached it. Are the rules for keeper to keep feet in box?

“For the sake of the game”

 

Fuck that, it’s a red. 

[LionOfGosforth]

City have had 81% possession. They want shooting with shit for creating only a couple of decent chances. Garbage football.

One tactic - cross from the right hand side to right in front of the keeper into a sea of defenders.

I dunno I think there’s something in the argument… was a goal or goal scoring opportunity likely enough to merit undermining the showpiece? I think considering the quality of the spectacle in the final isn’t a bad thing

[Joe1984]

If City lose Pep will go full Arteta mode, only he will have a legit grievance.

Yep, ball out to right, check back onto left foot and curl cross in. Boils my piss we struggle against these and suffer heavy defeats, they've been dogshit most of the season.

Disagree 100%
 

Rules are rules.

[Tsunami]

I think VAR looked at that handball as if Haaland would have taken the same touch on the ball as Henderson. Bonkers.

And they're not even a decent watch.

 

Dull, tedious football.

Our performance down there a few months back was a disgrace.

Where do you draw the line in important games though. Title deciders. Relegation battles. The rules have to apply, regardless of the game.

He’ll get another £350m to spend in the summer.

No point in VAR if they change rules depending on the game.

 

Absolute joke and borderline cheating imo.

Sorry no. Rules are rules.

 

Should Pope have not been sent off against Liverpool?

 

After all, us not having our number one GK for the final "undermined the showpiece" that year, surely?

 

Where does the line get drawn?

Who gives a fuck about the showpiece or the spectacle. Enforce the laws of the game

[The Prophet]

Rooney was spot on for a change. Spare us the nonsense interpretations and stick the whole thing in the bin.

[toon25]

Rooney looking well

A bit like Formula 1 2021 then. Throw the rules out the window for the spectacle. Everybody remembers that moment fondly....
