Premier League 2020/21 (Part 1)

He publicly announced he had Covid (which I thought was odd) so maybe that held up his moving plans. But yeah, announcing you’re moving there is another line straight out of the playbook. Especially in an ‘unfashionable’ place like Burnley. “Omg he’s moving here too?! What an owner!”

Newcastle must be fuming as well. Sell to people from a country known for pirating football coverage? Not on our watch! Buying a previously well-run club with its own money and saddling it with crushing debt in the midst of a global pandemic and economic recession? Yes please!

Red card for David Luiz. On the stroke of halftime. I actually think it’s a bad call. It should be reversed by VAR.

EDIT: it’s a really bad call. And VAR didn’t reverse it. This league is bent. Luiz is a reckless player but it wasn’t a red. Wolves attacker tripped over his own feet. That’s a really bad call. Never a pen, never a red.

And now they’re fucking up my Last Man pick. :triumph:

How is it not a red?

You only get away with it if you make a genuine attempt for the ball.

Clear red. Ridiculous decision from Luiz.

He never touched him. Wolves attacker tripped over his own feet.

EDIT: I’m not debating it was a dumb decision, bc you force the ref to make a call, but he never touched him. I saw daylight in there.

Clearly well after the two added minutes were up. The whistle should have gone well before the Wolves player got in the area. We would be hopping mad there…

I thought so too, I don’t see Luiz touching anybody.

Clear touch there.

Red.

Very slightest of touch…harsh for me. Yes a penalty but not a red. Looked accidental…

More of an issue is the excess added time and not been mentioned at all.

Yeah Luiz is never escaping that. Just a dumb decision to force the ref’s hand.

Wolves need to be careful and don’t have a man sent off.

You can’t run directly behind someone, clip their foot and claim it’s accidental.

This place would have exploded in rage if that episode had happened to one of our defenders…all the usual accusations…or am I wrong?
