I'm not sure he's even that bad a co-commentator, but he does my nut in. And considering he won a grand total of one trophy in his career it’s a bit of a strange one how he’s suddenly become the go to expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialist_Owl Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Leicester moaners ought to to really shut the fizz up though. That club has done wonderfully on aggregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Bournemouth player (Harry Wilson) was guilty of a terrible dive. Ref didn’t buy it, but really should have booked him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hope Leicester have sorted themselves out in time for tonight. Can't see it though, pigs look unstoppable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Re Leicester, how often do you see this. Have a few good seasons, punching well above their weight, and suddenly think they have a god given right to champions league football. If they sack Rogers, it will be the start of their demise, Mark my words, can see them back in the championship in three years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Something I really hate about Leicester. As others said, they’re 4th in the league - what are they seriously expecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Criticising Rodgers yet completely overlooking that fact they’d be no where near top 4 if it wasn’t for Rodgers in the first instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluestripe Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Rodgers did his work to make pigs look as average as they are...this game will be a useful look at how to dispatch sheff Utd next season Ndidi bossed midfield. Had Barnes put away one or two of the Vardy passes, it’d have been a cruise. Vardy hit post...but his strength was setting up chances - should have been 3-0 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Newcastle and Leicester have shown how you deal with the pigs this season. From what I’ve seen is if you turn the game into a battle you play right into their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie they won't really challenge for Europe and may flirt with relegation from time to time. Look a million miles away from Champions League and may not qualify for Europe. Will become harder to sign the quality players you need then. They're boring. At least Arsene had a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Arsenal unexpectedly beating City and getting into the FA Cup Final will (if Arsenal finish below them) have whoever finishes 7th in the PL nervously waiting until the cup final to see if it's good enough for Europe or not.

SiJ Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Arsenal back to basics atm. Last few displays have reminded me a bit of that Liverpool side under Houllier: backs to the wall, trying to hit teams on the counter. David Luiz was exceptional.

Big Malc Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Great to see so many complaints about VAR. Hopefully it will see this disastrous experiment consigned to the dustbin of history very soon. The idea that “technology” will clear up controversy has well and truly been shown to be complete nonsense. All that’s happened is one man’s (the referee) opinion has been replaced by another man’s (the video assistant referee) opinion. “Technology” isn’t making the decision at all - it’s human beings making the decisions and human beings make mistakes. Instead of wasting all this money and compromising any semblance of integrity the game has left, we should be concentrating on the players who are trying to cheat 100% of the time. We should be turning on the likes of Allardyce, Dyche, Hughes and football fans in general who made excuses for their teams poor performances by trying to blame the officials when it was often simply an interpretation of the rules and a difference of opinion. I don’t believe anyone can say with a straight face that VAR has improved the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Except the man with the video footage can have another look and see what’s gone off in slow motion and come to the correct decision, as opposed to a referee who only sees an incident once if he’s lucky or maybe misses it completely It’s teething problems, they’ll get it right eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
