Could be relegation day for Sunderland today.

If Hull get a better result than them, they're down.

 

[Theon]

Sunderland relegated.

 

[Ceremony]

Good riddance

 

[Jussi]

Effing Palace ruined my sports betting...


Mata with the team at the hotel. Might actually play this season.

 

[LOFIN]

Sunderland relegated.

They loved it last year when they relegated their rivals, but now Newcastle is coming back and they are going down...

 

[Adonis Creed]

Sunday will be better.

Let's see how Wenger 3-4-3 work vs Spurs away....I expect us to lose 5-0 or win 1-0

 

[Jussi]

Mata on the bench already.

 

[Jussi]

Oh ****, Shaw injured...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

ManU lucky to not be down early

 

[Jussi]

United completely asleep at the start but creating something finally on the offense.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

horrible. horrible

 

[hatterson]

Should definitely have been a yellow to Rashford for that. No question that was a dive.

 

[Jussi]

Rashford went down before the contact, that was obvious from the replay. BT Sports ref analyst Graham Poll explained: the ref had no clear vision due to several players blocking his line of sight (evident on the replay), asked the linesman who made the decision. The linesman happened to be on the side where he could only see Fabiansky's back, so he couldn't have seen Rashford going down before contact.

I think you have to bring replay into called PK's. That would have taken 10 seconds to determine that it was a dive and the game would have progressed as it should.

Not talking about NON-called PK's. Just the ones that are called. When a single goal in a match like this can determine Champions League and tens of millions of dollars, being right is too important.

ETA: not to mention this may mean Swansea drops a level.

Neither the ref nor the linesman could have seen that.

Yeah, it really doesn't take that long to check these on replays. Things like this wouldn't be called then:

Martial saves Rooney from scoring a second.

 

[Jussi]

Aand now Bailly goes down with an ankle injury...

 

[East Coast Bias]

Jesus now Bailly too. FFS

 

[hatterson]

Neither the ref nor the linesman could have seen that.

Oh, I get why it was called the way it was based on the angles the ref and linesman had, just commenting on what it should have been.


In regards to replays, I just don't understand how you could have replay for given penalties but not for missed ones. Burnley got a huge boost to their campaign to stay up yesterday because of a missed penalty. That's just as big as United being given one to hurt Swansea.

Edit: Also Blind as the only "natural" CB on the team. Awesome.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Such a great player.

 

[Hesher]

Poor performance, no win, the last remaining CB Bailly injured, Shaw injured, what a great game

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Disgraceful from Rashford.

 

[Blender]

I have to say that I've been impressed with Tom Davies this season. Playing pretty well for an 18 year old.
