GWT: EPL - Matchweek 35

[Wee Baby Seamus]

also, Morgan Rogers has absolutely fit in to the squad like a glove on a hand. We might be more willing to sell Ramsey in the summer with Rogers emergence

Hard to articulate the extent you'd regret a Ramsey sale, IMO.

Gallagher with the great leadership attitude in his post-game interview. Shaun Wright-Phillips after saying how Gallagher is one of the most underrated players because he's lead a transformation of the culture among the players.

Gally one of the few people I love as much as Ethan Hawke (altho I don't like this movie)

yeah, I am not advocating for him to be sold. But he has barely played a role this whole season and is home grown so pure profit. Now, I'd rather not sell him as a fully fit Ramsey is a top 4 quality player. But, he's had the same injury twice and i've heard has had a toe screw inserted over that specific injury.

I think that was a good foul call on the final Chelsea "goal."

But I have two issues with it:

1) The on-field referee had a clear view of the play and didn't call anything. It wasn't a situation where he might not have seen it or had a bad angle. He just didn't feel that it was a foul. I'm not sure I like the overturn there.
2) Consistency is all over the place. That was a foul to me, but it was much less of a foul than what happened to Gabriel when Newcastle scored.

It's a foul but not a clear and obvious error. The point about Pawson's positioning is a good one.

I agree the positioning of the ref is a big factor but the biggest reason I like the overturn is that if you leave it as no foul then you just encourage players to throw themselves to the ground more.

We all know that if the defender drops like he got shot in the back, the ref trivially calls it live. Instead he took a normal reaction and just shuffled a couple feet forward instead of dropping and so the ref ignored it.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

If someone could score in this hockey game, I'd really appreciate it. I have a 7:55 alarm.

 

[KJS14]

Rice - Partey - Odegaard midfield again. Love it.

Trossard starting and Martinelli to come on as a sub to stretch Spurs high line. Love it.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Finally Bissouma is benched.

What Shearer said yesterday was essentially that VAR promised not to re-referee the game and would only overturn "absolute howlers" [clear and obvious errors], but they keep moving the bar on what is or isn't overturned.

Let's have a classic

 

[robertmac43]

Come on lads!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

The boos for Partey are something else.

Edit: Now they are chanting about him.

 

[KJS14]

Need to stop giving the ball away cheaply

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spurs aren't being direct enough. Winning the ball back in dangerous positions but passing back due to pressure.

 

[KJS14]

I thought we implemented the super fat offside lines today?

 

[Brunkmeister]

Beauty

 

[KJS14]

Superb finish by Hjojberg

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spurs are so f***ing bad at set-pieces.

 

[bluesfan94]

Gorgeous finish

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Own goal baby!

Edit: Now they are chanting about him.

Not the club that signed Bissouma trying to do this.

Takehiro Tomiyasu'd

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Spurs could be top of the league if they could defend a f***ing set piece
