Fascinating

Got a feeling Kalvin Phillips will be thrown out the plane over Manchester today.

Just when you think premier league refs can't get any worse they go on to surpass their current levels of shitness.

Absolutely no reason for players not to just throw themselves to the floor in the box

Incredible free kick 😆

I think Chelsea yesterday may have been the most half and half scarves I've seen at a match.

Rob Jones is the worst referee to ever grace the Premier League.

Still fuming about this

As I said yesterday

Absolutely no reason for players not to just throw themselves to the floor in the box

Although Rob Jones should have a look at Darren England's performance yesterday to see how to do this kind of terrible refereeing properly. After giving an obviously incorrect penalty he should be rubbing salt in the wound by then sending the player off

Yeah the one that was given against burnley was way worse than the Gordon one. I would say that at the point that he had his hand on mudryk’s shoulder, he was way more in control of the ball than mudryk.

Edit: Also, Man City / arsenal not top of the bill on motd. I’m guessing it wasn’t a classic.

oh noes, harry kane to play for germany at the up coming international tournament, the st george flag waving racists won't be happy

Hope France survive vs England, Sweden, and Ireland for Euro 2025.

Got a ticket for Barcelona vs Chelsea women. Bargain price, to see most of the Spanish World Cup winners, a handful of the English runners-up, and some of the Swedish third-place players:

Oh and if you're not a fat guy like I am (XL women's size probably won't cut it...), or want a nice gift for someone, I think this is fun (from Euro 2022):

We absolutely took Fulham apart in the first half last night, could have easily scored five. Crazy to think that if it wasn't for goals conceded from set pieces we'd be comfortably in the top half. Very reminiscent of Leicester when they went down, so dangerous going forward but let down by set pieces and a poor goalkeeping.

More shit refereeing last night, compounded by our really shit defending .

We'll probably push this a bit more but ultimately not good enough at scoring goals and not conceding goals to stay up.

I see Everton haven't won in 12 or something which seems ideally set up for us to gift them a win at the weekend.

Seems to be the same story every week for you guys. The Prem is hard enough without the refs compounding matters.

Approaching the Etihad…

Have you got a pic of getting the early train?

Unai gives no fucks..

Why would I do that?

Highlight of the evening - pre match pint at Mary D’s with a walk through the pissoir past the urinals to the ‘beer garden’

Lowlight was presumably Zaniolo's creative interpretation of the defensive wall for City's second goal?

Zaniolo only had to replicate his statue like contribution to Duran’s goal but chose instead to part like a 90s curtain haircut.
