Premier League 2023/2024

That is how you press, City with 4 people together there.

 

[olliec]

Just need them to get that goal difference up now.

 

[cjsimba]

I thought this would be City’s hardest fixture left (if you consider we may down tools against them). Nice to be proven wrong!

 

[Cavehillspur]

Go on City, get that goal difference up

 

[Verloc]

City are a machine.

 

[Dillspur]

They don’t check that kind of thing.

VAR can't overturn free-kicks.

But all goals are checked and so is the build up to a goal. Goals have been disallowed for a foul in the build up, and the result was a free kick.

 

[TheSpillage]

I feel ten times better about Sunday after this.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Suicide by Brighton

Played too openly

 

[Tonio]

should that 2nd goal be disallowed? There was not contact so the free kick shouldn't have been given, wasn't that a clear and obvious error?

No it's fine. If it came off both of Fodens hands then hit the ref in the bollocks on its way into the back of the net then its still a goal.

I read somewhere that Brighton have scored 14 goals in their last 15-16 PL games ?? ... that's not very impressive if true. Or not what you expect from a De Zerbi-team.

You can't change something once play has restarted. Once a FK/throw-in/corner is taken, what happened before no longer matters.

Brighton overplaying it. I get wanting to play a certain way but surely you have to realise when you should and shouldn't.

 

[olliec]

Me on Sunday if we beat them.

I thought Brighton were supposed to be the new Real Madrid? Weird that. Or is it injuries or some other weak excuse for being shit? Not aimed at you btw.

True... I thought they were in better shape at the moment. It's gone a bit under the radar.

 

[RuskyM]

Can I just shock you? I like state-funded sportswashing entities that break all the rules, despite what I said earlier.

GD -= 56 - 47

Well you might as well as we've pretty much had to support one for two solid seasons now.
