Federico Chiesa, Premier League winner.
They should never have done away with the rule you had to play however many games it was.
Didn't Arsenal have to hurriedly sub on Tony Adams at the end of games in the early 00's for a medal?
33 Premier League minutes is a bit sad. I like him but I don't know how he can break into this side.
Get Klopp back for the final home game and have him present the medals. Someone cutting giant onions.
Chiesa only needs one more appearance.
Walking down to Anfield now. Champions!
This is just wrong.Quote:

Harsh one to be upgrading when Tarkowski style challenges have been waved through.
I guess the answer is yes. Collective head loss.
Freeze frame folly.
No way you'd be saying this if it wasn't against your beloved United.Quote:

Standard borderline red for me Clive. If it had been given as a red no way was it getting overturned, I personally thought it was a red when I saw it as slipping is no defence as we have been told on numerous occasions but you will see worse challenges go unpunished through a season and plenty of challenges which aren't as bad get given as reds too.
All we can really hope for is that this decision doesn't make too much difference in the chase for 13th, as this positive result has enabled Manchester Red to to gain a slight advantage on their nearest rivals.
You're a moron if you can't see what the decision should have been (I've not seen it, so I'm excused).
I can understand the argument he slipped and there's no intent but unfortunately he nearly took his knee and ankle out. I don't really see why it's so controversial.
I also didn't really see any issue with the first tackle. It's a proper football tackle.
Far more likely to do damage to someone going in with that level of force than at zero miles an hour and 'nearly' taking out various body parts.
Just felt a bit like the ones we were getting around the Jones one last season, where if you could pause the image in a bad way you were getting done [and you can freeze that one to make it look like he's about to kill him], but I thought things had moved on from that, particularly with the elusive 'high bar'.
Reckless for me and I don't think it meets the serious foul play add-on as that also requires "excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent"Quote:
“Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the
danger to, or consequences for, his opponent.
• A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.
• A player who uses excessive force must be sent off
Someone put a video up so I can make the final decision and put this to bed.
Dunno how to link to the clip, but the MotD2 discussion of it is in here.
Yellow at worst
Man tackled him using his batty crease
VAR intervention is completely unnecessary.
You could argue it either way. Probably looks much worse in slow motion / freeze frame than it actually was.
Looked much worse at full speed actually
Somewhat inspired by a curiosity as to how City and Liverpool compare over the last 7 seasons [599 v 588] I came across this site.
I've no idea how accurate it is. Liverpool just 8 points back from United on the all time table, although seem to have more wins, more draws and fewer losses from fewer games played, so I guess the two points for a win era may be having an impact there. Comfortably in front on the all time top-division table. They define this century as having started on 1/1/2001, is that normal? Did we all get the millennium wrong?
Did we have a predictions thread? We be amusing to see how wrong we all were.
Yes everyone did get the millennium wrong.
Yeah, I found that out yesterday. Consider that the first year of history counts as 01/01/01. It makes 100% sense and I feel stupider for knowing.
First year of history might be a bit strong, but I assume there was no year 0 and we went from 1BC to 1AD. Feels like some sort of clerical error.
I see if you want to make a similar sort of error in your own life you can buy a Ł150 Liverpool CHAMPIONS! replica kit. Crazy.
We got the millennium right. We read left to right and the left number changed on 1 Jan 2000. Who cares if there was a year 0 or not.
If there was no Jan 1st '0 - 31st Dec '0, then 1/1/2000 would have been 1,999 years, no?
Hmmm ... that Liverpool replica kit or Ł150 for tickets to our pre-season Japan games ....
Close enough.Quote:

Also turns out I was a smart lad and booked up all of the bank holidays, so I have the parade off. It is in half term though, so trying to wrangle it kid free is the next issue.
My father would tell anyone that would listen that the whole 'when does it really start' discussion was manufactured by big tourism so that they could sell you new millennium cruises two years in a row.Quote:

I broke my IPTV so will miss the game tonight. Fucking cunt.
What kind of savage doesn't have Amazon Prime in this day and age?
<puts hand up>
Watching footy is low on my priorities, to be honest. Free to air stuff or youtube is enough for me. And I barely use Amazon for purchases.
Just create an Amazon account and use the trial and cancel after the match
They show football in Amazon? Didn't know that.
I know it’s midweek, but it’s 15 minutes before kick off on their biggest game of the season and there’s no cunt in the ground.
I hate Trossard upfront. Never works. Would have preferred Timber on the left and Skelly in midfield.
A minute's silence for the Pope. Game's gone.
bet UEFA were pumped that Rangers got knocked out last round.
That’s not fun.
That was the sort of deceptively good goal that English teams used to concede twenty-five years ago.
