Due to the FA Cup this weekend, the majority of matches are postponed. Nonetheless, we have a relegation six pointer when Luton host Nottingham Forest and a London derby.

BTW, the reason why the double jeopardy rule doesn’t apply to Reguilon is because it was deemed that his foul wasn’t a legitimate attempt at the ball.

A DOGSO foul is only a yellow if both a penalty is given (it happen in the box) and the foul is considered a genuine attempt to win the ball.

Yup. They got it right, eventually. No attempt at the ball.

Forest looking like they'll win a six pointer while Brentford are losing to a team that's already basically down?

One team climbs out of trouble, and another climbs in.

That tackle from Barkley being called a foul really does have me genuinely wondering if slide tackles are gonna get reffed out of existence
Yea that was a particularly awful call. It wasn't even one of those tackles where he won the ball and then absolutely cleared out the player. He slid in front, won the ball, the player slowed down a bit, and then just tripped over him.

Then and there
Can't help but to admire Luton fighting until the end in many of their matches against all odds. Great way for the unheralded guy to score his first top level goal.

Even if Luton gets relegated, they certainly leave lots of positive moments and feelings compared to some other smaller clubs given no hope of survival over the years gone by.

Fofana with the miss of the century.

At least he made amends later on. The loan has been good for him, found some scoring touch compared to his time in Germany.

Could be a useful player for Chelsea at least as a sub for few years.

Weird game that Fulham vs Spurs. Both team making horrible give aways all over the pitch creating many counter chances but both team creating nothing out of them.
