General Premier League Thread 2019-20

Guy:Incognito

The defending is just so bad. Plenty of players back but all of them just manage to do nothing.

It's a rule, if competition is cancelled for any reason it goes to the previous winner

It's not like the VAR is just some lad they pull out of the crowd.

True but he's the one supposedly tasked to make the calls, him having no input to the review doesn't suggest they are.

Can you gives us all the link on UEFA'S website that explains this rule so since I'm guessing you read it there.

So City could lift the PL? By jaysus, as much as I want to see Liverpool win it, I'd laugh my head off if that was the case.

Though I doubt it is the case in the PL or CL. If you can show it in the rules, fair play.

Pl and CL are different competitions run by different organisations and have different rules.

Havnt seen anyone say thats the rule in the PL. (anyway, that should be over by this time next week anyway hopefully )

A league and a cup are very different anyway. Theres plenty of grounds to blow the league up early if needs be and declare Liverpool the winners. Theres no one "ahead" in the CL to pick as a winner.

I think that just means the current holders hang onto the trophy for another season. It certainly does not mean we'd have 'won' it for a seventh time.

Just need to get those magic 6 points before the shut down happens.

I doubt there will be a shutdown of the PL unless the virus outbreak dramatically escalates in the UK. All games after the international break played behind closed doors is the most likely scenario.

if we actually mathematically win the league and it's subsequently abandoned does it count?
what's it say in the rule book yourdeadright?

I'd be very surprised if that was a rule anywhere.

Clearly his shoulder, odd and stupid decision whatever Mings had in mind with that versatile clearance but he shouldn't be punished for it as they were implying it was a handball which it was not and with video replay you'd have thought a simple one to correct...

Not clearly his shoulder at all, off the fleshy part of the upper arm, but not the shoulder, and the fact he flicked/threw out his arm did for him too. A tight/harsh call, but still a handball IMHO, and not clear at all.
Mings is a very ordinary player, and has played for England? I dunno.... He always seems to be busting his a55 to make a last ditch tackle, and or make a spectacular block or something. Villa are a poor enough side, and having their defence built around him doesn't help.

The problem the Prem will have is with relegation and Champions leauge places
Say a team is in the bottom 3 when it's told to stop but have a game in Hand to get out?
There would be murder and courtcases

They just ran through replays once again on MNF, and it really does look to clearly be his shoulder. Like, the pointy bit of the shoulder, not below getting into the upper arm, but actually fairly firmly just shoulder. And it being his shoulder, any bit of movement his arm does (which i think you're overselling a wee bit), is irrelevant.

Looked firmly the wrong call for me anyway.

I said it a while back, i think wan bissaka is the best defender in a one on one situation. Rarely beaten

Sterling hasn't scored in months. It wasn't something magical AWB did to stop him.

More than just that match, you rarely see him beat in a one on one. Sterling is probably one of the best wide forwards in the league as well

Henry must be in there?

Certainly up there, especially for fullbacks. In the prem, he'd only be behind a few for me, with VVD out on top.

Ha no way.

I was trying to think back who was in the league the longest and remembered Distan playing with City in the early 00s and recently enough with Everton (2016/2017?) so was thinking he was around a good 15 years.

Same with Toure. Arsenal invincible and played with Liverpool in 15/16 before going to Celtic so around 15 years again.

Boateng was at Villa late 90s, I remember him because one of my best mates in school absolutely loved Villa and thought he was a superstar :pac: was at Boro when they had Junihno, and played with Yakubu, Macaronne and Viduku as well.
