2014/15 Premier League

The home loss to soton has made a mockery of Andy Tate and his title charge rally call.

 

[Haffa]

Who is Andy Tate?

 

[Haffa]

Falcao didn't even stay for the game.

 

[ggmu]

Though it's probably true. But how do we know that pic is takes before the game? Could have been after the game had finished.

 

[saint.nick]

Andy Tate is that viral united fan who's famous for that post-game 'moyesy' rant, and always saying 'don't care'.

Henry joins the sky sports team today. Gary Neville is pretty good, so adding Henry will make things even better

 

[Haffa]

Thanks, Arsenal.

 

[Jimbo]

So, a draw and a loss for Chelsea is undone by a draw and a loss for Citeh

A draw or a win in two weeks' time would go a long way to wrapping it up

 

[Haffa]

Long way to go yet.

Would be ok (for me anyway) to see us go out of the CL early.

Our first away win at the defending champions since 2002.

For once Wenger actually adapted his tactics. We were high in their half but sat back in our half. And it worked brilliantly.

Bellerin was the right choice at right back. Too often we go with Chambers but he is a centre back.

Coquelin a revelation too. We actually have a competent DM. Wrap him up in cotton wool and bubble wrap.

Also, Ospina > Ches.

And for the richest team on earth MCFC really lack creative midfielders. What we have in abundance. We'll trade them Cazorla for Kompany/Toure.

Anyone see Spurs disallowed third goal? This got called offside

it would be funny if it wasn't so sad how wrong the officals got it. surely they should know the rules if they are reffing EPL games.

 

[Haffa]

After some of the calls in the last month, I think they just make them up as they go.

What makes it worse is soccer's rules are so clear cut unlike League

He had a bit of the rule right, vertonghen was only behind one defender instead of 2? but he forgot you can't be offside in own half. Amateur mistake and I daresay he won't be working the sideline in the premier league for a while. We could have done with the extra goal for goal difference too.

 

[Twizzle]

But the 2 includes the goalie doesn't it ?

Sunderlands goalie was in our half so there was no one at home in front of the goals

 

[Haffa]

It usually includes the Goalie but the same applies if it's two outfield players.

Yep that's right, so if Vertonghen was in Sunderland's half it would have been the correct call. But he was in his own half so it's irrelevant.

Linesman must have thought he was so clever....

 

[hellteam]

The ref should also be to blame, he is right next to Vertonghen, definitely should have overruled the linesman.

 

[Twizzle]

Exactly what I was thinking, pretty poor all round

You don't need to be behind at least 2 outfield players
