General Premier League Thread 2023-24 Mod Note in op 27/6/23 And 21/05/24

Will someone please get rid of that flipping plane flying overhead in the city game..

Edit its gone!

I'd imagine it's actually louder in the ground and Sky are just doing their usual crap of turning down the volume on the crowd.

Imagine looking for handball for hitting someone in the arse with the ball 😁

That's a goal for me. Weak by Alisson. Why do keepers get so much protection

He has his right arm on Alisson left arm and it's stopping him getting that arm fully up. It's soft and I'd be pissed if a Liverpool goal was disallowed for that but I'd be surprised if it wasn't given as a foul 99 times out of 100.

One is a push on a defender and one is a hand on a keeper. They are not the same and everyone knows that if a keeper is touched then it's a free.

Like I said if a goal was chalked off for Liverpool for the same thing I'd be pissed but I'd actually understand it given the protection keepers have been given over the last 15-20 years.

Probably deserved on second half performance could very well win it now.

Probably the 1230 start, but nice wumless thread.

Initially thought the Alison tackle was soft but ref and var obviously wise to city shoving in on the keeper to infringe at every chance, so good decision for me can't let it go on all game

I think that was one of the worst games between City and Liverpool over the last few years.

Felt like the ground was half asleep. Which sometimes happens at these 12:30's.

Klopp and Liverpool have a habit of going on those runs, I remember a few years back they were something like 12 points behind City at Xmas and lost the title on the last day. That's the only hope of a decent challenge in my opinion this season, I just don't see it coming from Arsenal...if Liverpool don't maintain this form and then kick into gear after Xmas, then City will have it won by Mid April.

I think the stronger that Arsenal (and maybe Spurs and others) are, and stay in the title race taking points off of each other, then it is better for Liverpool.

If it's a straight shootout of Liverpool v Man City, I think that Man City will have too much.

Rinse and repeat for the next 5 years, posting record revenues now too will be hard to stop them until Newcastle get to the stage of posting their record revenues

Isak has put Newcastle in front against Chelsea. 1-0

No chance, but they maybe the only team to sustain a challenge against City....they need to start taking more points on the road!

Brilliant cross from Gordon for the second goal

The Chelsea revival was short lived. They could do with getting Nkunku back fit. Thiago Silva also looking his age these days.

Yeah, Sterling the same. He got Trippier booked in the first half for a very soft challenge that saw Chelsea score from the resulting free kick.

T Silva really struggled yesterday, he looked a little affected by it all. And Reece James looks like he is also really struggling. Doesn’t look fit.

Terry Venables RIP

The looser of Burnley/Sheffield next weekend surely be sacked.

Spurs should have been out of sight
