GWT: English Premier League: 5/12 - 5/18/2017

[Paulie Gualtieri]

98 points over 30 games is literally impossible.

He's saying that they would have gotten 98 points during in the entire season if they had the same Premier League form they had from after the Arsenal game until now.

Ahh, makes sense.


Also, should have been a straight red for Fernandinho there. Zero reason to have the elbow up.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Someone needs to two foot Fernandinho. Scum.

Albrighton threw a pretty good hit with his last play, but yea he's a moron and hopefully the ref says he missed the play so the FA can award a retroactive red.

 

[Ar-too]

Idiotic challenge from Clichy.

Horrible penalty from Mahrez.

 

[Ar-too]

What is Domari Gray good at?

 

[Ar-too]

How much schadenfreude is there in the world about Otamendi taking that knee to the head after that block?

 

[Elliman]

Horrible game by the officials.

1. Albrighton was abused. Twice.
2. The PK shouldn't have been a penalty, free kick as it was outside the box. Poetic justice that Mahrez goal was disallowed.
3. The opening City goal should have been disallowed for offsides/attempting to play the ball.
4. Crazy amount of stoppage time added


Positives - Leciesters goal was a thing of beauty. Yaya gave up the chance to score on his birthday from the spot. City look good for CL footie now. 4th spot down to Liverpool/Arsenal with United small chance as outsiders.

Idiotic challenge from Clichy.

Horrible penalty from Mahrez.

 

[Savant]

Madley may be the worst ref in the PL and that is saying something.

 

[Power Man]

Wasn't Griezmann's penalty vs Real illegal too?

2. The PK shouldn't have been a penalty, free kick as it was outside the box. Poetic justice that Mahrez goal was disallowed.

I only saw one replay that showed a good angle and even then it was hard to see if the contact happened on the line or just outside. Either way that's hard to call an officiating mistake given where the ref and linesman were position. Basically no one on City argued it much either so it didn't seem they were too upset.

4. Crazy amount of stoppage time added

Stoppage time seemed alright to me. There were a few injuries that took a decent amount of time to resolve.

 

[Live in the Now]

Play was offside, but that was an amazing save by Butland from about a yard away.

 

[Theon]

United should sign Butland if/when DDG leaves.

 

[hatterson]

Well Giroud ain't gonna score many easier goals than that.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I feel bad for Marco Silva.

 

[Live in the Now]

We'll need six points.

 

[bluesfan94]

Why couldn't Arsenal have looked like this all year.

Also butland wasn't great there.

 

[Theon]

Come on West Ham.

 

[Halladay]

I feel bad for Marco Silva.

His contract expires in June and he will get picked up by a bigger club. They stuck with Phelan too long.

 

[Savant]

We'll need six points.

Nil-Nil draw incoming.

 

[Live in the Now]

Game on. Come on Stoke.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Nice punch in by Crouch.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Nice punch in by Crouch.

That was hilarious.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

The Hand of Odd.

 

[phisherman]

Mike Dean doing his best to sabotage Arsenal.
