I didn't think it was a pen, but should there be a protocol for just treading on someone's leg like that? You could claim any instance of it to be 'accidental' since, as we know, footballers are all 'not that type of player'.

Not sure how that's a penalty but Maguire needs dropping. He's completely shit. Unfortunately for United, they don't attack or defend well enough for a supposed good team.
For Maguire that would mean ‘competent’.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Are they?
They're not. But they're supposed to be one.
True.
The race for 4th is looking fairly interesting. Looking forward to seeing how Arsenal go if/when they become the front runner.
Even by recent standards they seem to have upped the shit off ante this season.
Wolves also 6 points off 4th with two games in hand to boot. With the top 3 set, it does look like it's ultimate shit off to see who can throw away 4th the least.
Big game in Everton v Leeds today too. A Leeds win gains them loads of breathing room and dumps Everton right in the shit. 'mon Raphinha.
Another really impressive performance today, best we have been for a while. 5 points from City, Spurs and United with very little break in between is some going.
Is playing United not the break in itself?
I'm a twit
These fluff documentaries are a bit embarrassing, tbh.
Breaking news: Leeds are shit defensively.
Frank Lampard only speaks one language, and that language is tactics.
But not quite.
Chelsea v Palmeiras kicking off now. The latter seem to be somewhat well-supported in the stadium.
When was the last time Channel 4 had live football?
Must be Serie A but God knows how many years it's been.
They might've had Copa Libertadores or some Brazilian Serie A before then. Around about the time Channel 5 had Serie A for a season.
We were just shit full stop in that game.
Leeds and Brentford might sneak into the bottom three, at this rate.
Spectacular pair of kits in Napoli-Inter.
If Hudson-Odoi runs straight into their left back again I will be forced to boycott the letters C, H and O in my posts from then on.
I can't remember the last time I saw a team take the game to City like Norwich are here. I watched the Brentford game last week and it was the worst hour and a half of my life.
This final has such a bizarre vibe. It's quite clear that for Palmeiras (or any South American side) it would be by far the biggest thing to happen to them this century, possibly ever. Their fucking tens of thousands of travelling fans are all shedding tears in the stands at that very fortuitous equaliser. For us it's at best an exercise in avoiding humiliation.
I remember us playing Flamengo a few years ago and it was clear that the game was everything to them.
It feels a bit like agreeing to go to the cinema to see, I dunno, Star Wars with your big Star Wars fan mate, and you think it's just a normal trip out until your mate starts blubbing when Princess Leia ewoks Han Solo (or whatever happens in Star Wars), and you realise you're just a passenger to someone else's emotional rollercoaster.
I've felt like that going to gigs where some of the crowd are absolutely here for the support acts.
I knew James and Chilwell were a big influence but the sheer drop off of them being injured is a bit mental. They look like one of the worst teams in the league every week getting by on only really conceding once a game at most
Superb scenes in that Palmeiras end. Fans deserve the victory.
Our work rate has been well down but tbh Palmeiras have had the advantage in terms of the jobsworth Australian referee giving all man to man contacts anywhere on the pitch as a foul, which suits their style. 1-1 is fair, and we only have piss and wind on the park so it'll probably be penalties.
Absolutely farcical decision to award a penalty for that.
That whole sequence of events was lol. You could see the referee clearly saw the handball, and then just thought fuck it, nah, I'll let the VAR give that for me.
Azpiicueta taking it though, fucking hell. EDIT: thank fuck.
Azpilicueta is such a pissy cunt.
There is something about South American football as a whole that has always boiled my piss, so fuck it, get in there.
You've got some Chelsea fans in tears as well tbf, probably because it's the best chance they'll get to watch them in their lifetime.
How has he missed the red card there? So obvious.
Go back to your favela and fight over a bowl of rat soup, all 50,000 of you. Off you go.
Yeah, I did like the scenes of local (by which I mean south Asian migrants) Chelsea fans loving life. The fat arse tattooed thugs, less so.
Why is the commentator bigging this up so much?
Is he required to do so? Is the Club World Cup bigger than we think it is?
Europe cares least about the CWC of the six continents, so yes, it probably is bigger than we think it is.
Think about it in terms of an FM save, if you were managing Santos or Urawa Reds it would be the one you're aiming at for the ultimate prize.
I’m guessing 3-3 and in extra time from here. Just from reading back.
Television employee in attempting to make people watch his television show shocker.
Chelsea were treating it as important as anyone else since Abramovich was desperate to win every single possible trophy. Azpilicueta winning every possible trophy for Chelsea in 10 years must be some sort of record. Can’t be many players to do that. Presumably someone from Man Utd
I honestly wouldn't be upset at all if someone JFK'd Infantino at one of these trophy presentations.
Marcus Bettinelli is a world champion.

He deserves one for the immigrants quote.
Actually I’d say he sill thinks he deserves a medal..
We were never in the uefa cup with Ferguson
2012, got schlonged by Athletic Chorizo. Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick must have won everything because of the 2016 win.
How can we forget about Schmeichel scoring in the Wafer Cup against Volgograd?
