Optimistic Nut Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 A season like this in The Championship you should be able to just say 4 up, 4 down, no Play-Offs. Going to be very unlucky that 1-2 of those 4 clubs are not going to get promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 And of course Arsenal fans would entirely agree if the shoe was on the other foot? Fair and sensible bunch that they are. So when they lose the title by a point, they can point to the Joelinton "push" as the reason they didn't win the league but when they get to the CL final, we can point to the ref doing them favours.

Sima Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) No way. As "clear and obvious" as it gets imo. I'd say exactly the same if Schar/Botman/Burn/Lascelles had done that. I'd be calling them all of the thick cunts under the sun. It's schoolboy stuff. Edited April 10 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be very unlucky that 1-2 of those 4 clubs are not going to get promotion. If it was Serie B then it would be very close to being 3 up and no play offs. If 3rd is ahead of 4th by 10 points or more. That said I don't have huge sympathy for the 3 that have come down. They have enormous financial advantages over rest of the league, which they have leveraged further. Edited April 10 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be calling them all of the thick cunts under the sun. It's schoolboy stuff. It is. I think that if there were BM players really putting them under pressure there then the ref would give it as it would be a pretty transparent cheat to deny a goal scoring opportunity. It just seemed from the vid that they were in the general vicinity but not pressing, and that there was at least a significant chance that Gabriel was just making an honest mistake - and I think the ref got both penalty decisions right. I really think that we need to be more careful when giving penalties in general, although obviously it’s stupid when different refs apply different rules. There was a Forest player on Sunday who did one of those tackles where you make the tackle but follow through and catch the guy on the knee. Looks awful on VAR. He got booked and not sent off. I think it was the right decision - I think it’s too difficult to ascertain intent and you need to be absolutely sure with red cards - but we’ve also had two separate players sent off this season for identical tackles. Exactly the same. Do one or the other. It’s the inconsistencies that really drive people nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's extremely childish from Tuchel to cry about that, he honestly thinks they deserve a pen for that ffs? Ref had said that it's a kid's mistake and he's not going to give a penalty for that in a Champions League QF and I completely agree. Refreshing to see some common sense used, wish it would happen more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Sky have the least interesting match in Swansea vs Stoke on their main channel which is so much better than the red button coverage. Stoke still down towards the bottom end, but you can get 16/1 on them going down, so not likely, and Swansea's season is effectively over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
