GWT: PL Matchweek 16

[Savant]

Grealish gives Villa a lifeline. 1-2 at halftime.

Not sure he is any worse than Maddison. Similar players.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Yes, if there had been a very serious injury as a result, I would have understood it being a red due to that.

Granted the PL did overturn Son's red, so clearly they didn't think that should have been.

And no, this was not remotely more reckless or dangerous that Son's tackle. Son's was worse.

No, it wasn't.
Pereira's a red, the fact that is not usually called a red doesn't mean that it isn't one.

 

[Gecklund]

No, it wasn't.
Pereira's a red, the fact that is not usually called a red doesn't mean that it isn't one.

Shouldn’t the fact that it’s never called one be clear evidence that it’s not a red?

 

[hatterson]

No, it wasn't.
Pereira's a red, the fact that is not usually called a red doesn't mean that it isn't one.

Son’s was just an all around worse tackle, that shouldn’t even be really debatable.

And basically everyone agree that the only potential reason to give a red was because of the injury and the PL later rules that it doesn’t agree that’s a valid reason to give a red.

Look, if you want to argue that the rules should be changed so those types of fouls are reds, you won’t see much argument for me, just be prepared for a red basically every game until players adjust their behavior.

 

[Savant]

Jonjo Shelvey is on fire

 

[Chimaera]

I’m always a bit surprised at how good Evans is.

 

[Blender]

Leicester flying with their 8th win in a row. 6 points up on Manchester City with a better goal differential as well. Vardy now has 16 goals in 16 games this year, 5 up on anyone else.

 

[Chimaera]

Steve Bruce for the Arsenal

 

[Blender]

Arsenal has now dropped to 11th with the Newcastle win today, could be in 12th going into their game tomorrow if BHA wins.

Grealish is terrific, but Maddison is better IMO. Grealish is in an unlucky spot where there's a real logjam for England in his position, and he's gonna find it tough to get into the 2020 team.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Sam Allardyce would be a real good hire for Arsenal right now.

 

[Halladay]

Nice goal by Wolves.

Brighton with two quick goals to take the lead.

 

[Jussi]

No, it wasn't.
Pereira's a red, the fact that is not usually called a red doesn't mean that it isn't one.

Just making sure, you do realize that no football commentator or analyst thought it was a red during the game?

The. Mightiest.

 

[AB13]

The. Mightiest.

Arsenal have finished above United for 5 of the last 6 seasons so I would keep quiet if I were you.

 

[AngloHab]

They did in DAZN Spain

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Oh commentators or analyst didn’t think it was a red? For sure then it’s not lol.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

And City should have had Kyle Walker sent off for 3-4 bookable offenses and Bernardo had 2 and Fernandinho had 2 possibles. So get over it.

You missed the point of my post.

Impressive

 

[Jussi]

That says more about them.

I tend to take the word/opinions of Martin Tyler, Gary Neville, Micah Richards (granted he was out to lunch on the rule for handball in the Fed incident), Jamie Redknapp or Roy Keane over HFBoards posters who have no experience of playing or coaching from professional football.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Oh if that's the case then might as well lock this site up. I'll take the opinion of a ref over a random poster, could be cited over every incident on the field. Luckily we have Var now to show us how insane professionals can be.

and lol at Neville is that the same mouse that coached Valencia into the ground? Yeah, he's differently an authority.

And what is your coaching experience?

And it's like Neville hasn't been honest about his Valencia gig. The list HFboards posters admitting their failures or being wrong is a short one.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I remain undefeated in my coaching career. Having never lost a single game I coached in la liga. What has Neville done? Admitted he was a shit coach? lol that's the benchmark. I have admitted I was wrong on several players. Guess I'm as much an authority as Fergie.
