I don’t think they give red cards with penalties anymore do they? 

 

The double-jeopardy law states: "Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off."

 

It should have been a red card and shouldnt have been able to save the pen

He isn't. 

 

There's a bunch of forwards that can't even figure out how to get in the dangerous positions he does, as often as he does.

 

He just does some awful things in those positions at times.

 

He managed 14 goals and 6 assists his first season in the league and has already scored a couple this season.

 

He's a bit dopey, but he is never the worst striker man. He's actually quite dangerous.

 

 

 

He's the exact opposite of what I think a centre forward should do.  Be unselfish, make runs even if you don't receive the ball, hold up the ball and play in other players, be a nuisance to the opposition defenders.  He does none of what I have just said.

He has pace and sometimes (rarely) gets in the right position to score.  He is very very limited as a centre forward.

Didn’t think it was a foul personally. The forward just ran into him :lol:

Despite how much the premier league is desperately trying to limit competitiveness I love the fact that Bournemouth, Brighton, Wolves last season and others regularly give anyone a game nowadays

 

Yeah, I agree.

 

Really annoys me when people still complain we should be beating these teams when they make it hard for us.

 

Don't think they're paying attention at all. 

 

Forest at anfield was another example today. Think under Nuno they look like they may become another of these difficult and awkward teams to go against.

Crikey no offence, Stifler, but what absolute nonsense.

 

It is absolutely nothing to do with that.

 

Our owners are constantly pushing to get the PSR rules changed - one of the few clubs behind the proposal last year - and have said, it was Emery's call not to want to play CL games in a three-sided ground.

I’m not going to lie, I think rowing back on the Villa Park plans were a little flag, that is if they don’t go and build a new stadium. I’m also alarmed at how we haven’t came out with a clear plan for what we will be doing to SJP.

Whilst stadium and training ground spending is not included in FFP/PSR, it’s important that clubs like Villa, and us take advantage, because once PSG, Man Utd, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all finished their stadiums, they will close that up as well.

 

Villa’s, and our progress is not going to be linear. It will very much take time, and have ups and downs like Spurs did, although I do think both our progress will be quicker overall, and I think both our successes will also be greater than Spurs’.
