Premier League 2021/22 (Part 1)

To be fair in the first half the Wolves defender that leaned in and the ball hit his arm…he could have easily given a penalty for that, so if you keep taking chances like that one of them might be given.

Armpit or not, his arm was well high and there’s no way the ball completely avoided hitting his arm in that position. We’d totally accept it if it was given for us

Get with the program. We are all here to serve the Prince’s wishes.

On occasion, another team will win the league and in 5 years we’ll be watching Abu Dhabi complain to John Moss about a large force from the Middle East getting the VAR calls. And maybe once in a blue moon, Abu Dhabi might win the league again.

Wolves should go 3 up front now. What’s the point of defending now?

I know they’re down to 10 men which makes it much harder, but you’d think down only one goal and in the 85th minute Wolves would show a bit more urgency to get out of their own half.

Setting up yet another “must win” for our lads today.

Well that was the chance. Valiant effort by Wolves…

This is probably why you will never see English refs in the recent World Cup, UCL finals, UEL finals.

That reputation is not helped by VAR displays like that!

Completely Jimenez’s fault. Any chance they had of getting anything from this game evaporated the moment he had his brain fart. No matter how good they are defensively, all these well-measured crosses coming in…one of them was bound to cause an issue either from a ricochet or a handball.

Macca was a very good player but boy does he half come up with some daft comments! “Very good at defending the centre of the box” doesn’t involve leaning in with your arm or raising your arm and risking the ball getting diverted by it.

Fat Moss - an idiot

Raul Jiminez - somehow even outdoing the idiot above.

And Shitty are now in the middle of a long winning run. Wolves defended really well, and that had 0-0 written all over it. Sa made plenty of saves, but each one were what you would expect even our Adrian to make.

To be fair, if Jota puts away his chance then we win 2 or 3-0 against Wolves. Then this “so-good-defensively” narrative takes a hit. It was a remote chance of them getting anything today so nothing changes. We’ll have to do it the hard way (beat City away, we’ve done it before). If we get any bonuses in the meantime then great.

Also the time wasting shithousery might work for Atletico in La Liga but in the PL it will turn every away game very hostile against them very fast.

Mount scoring and assisting a lot by looks of it

What happened with Auba? Arteta calling it disciplinary punishment. Calling it out in press directly

It’s happened before with him turning up late for a game and training also.

Jesus. Someone please punch Rudiger in his face. Completely out of control.

Just looking at the BBC website, Fara Williams claiming the Chelsea penalty was incredibly soft.

Darn it.

I was at one time a fan of Auba. Truth is he’s a terrible person and even worse teammate. He was the same in Germany and left the league playing the victim card, everyone was always picking on him and the media was “unfair”, but having even more money in England has shown his true character.

Thats all three of us, City and Chelsea winning matches through a penalty kick.

Ours was a stonewaller. Not seen the others.

Call me biased the first pen Chelsea got it looked Raphina won the ball first.

The second one awarded in stoppage time was an absolute farce. Absolute theft.

That’s not a freekick. Premier Legue is the best in the world but the refs worst in the world. Both City and Chelsea should have lost points today if refs were even half good…
