The Official 2024/25 Premier League Thread

4th official listening to Arteta: “Yeah…yeah…yeah…yeah…”

Thinks: “I really don’t care.”
 
Interesting seeing it back that the ref pulls Walker out of position to talk to him and then allows Arsenal to take the free-kick while Walker is away from his normal place
And taken from the wrong place. So much wrong with that sequence it's unreal.
Kovacic waiting to come on , ref restarts without letting him on , Rodri barely off the pitch , city gave the free kick away because they were outnumbered in midfield , Kovacic should have been allowed on. Then when he comes , he's getting instructions and the scum take the kick quickly from the wrong place while Walker is out of position because the ref called him over and didn't let him get back in position !
So now we have a 1-2 game with city's best player off the pitch , atmosphere killed completely when the score should be 2-0 or 3-0 and probably would have been but for that mad minute or two.
Talk about the dark arts and tinkle poor officiating.
 
So much for the goons being inspired by arteta working with pep….they are more Wimbledon than Man bricky! Physical, set piece, low block and often pushing limits of discipline.

More complaining and Timber would have got his marching orders against us.


yet it is effective. From a neutral perspective it’s fascinating having different styles. But of course we’re not neutral. Come on city hope they murder them second half.
 
And please no moaning at Vicario ;
The best and one of the strongest keepers in the league has been left floundering twice ! Ball was almost on the goaline ffs! Yet all I hear from the pundits is that every keeper has to make the six yard box his own. Well it won't happen for any keeper if officials don't penalise the blocking and holding.
Can you imagine if teams were consistently allowed to do that to Raya ? The weakest and biggest flapper in the league. But the scum wont let that happen. His minders keep him well protected.
 
This is going to be a horrible watch. Defence v attack. Dark arts and tine wasting fully ramped up. Unfortunately they very good at sitting in a low block.
Hopefully not today.
 
Hmm. Quick free-kicks are allowed and a part of the game. I do now think there was enough time for Walker to do the necessary.

Quick free kicks are fine, but ref stoped the game to speak to players. He should re start once those players are back into their position.
 
Not sure he has to sprint half the length of the pitch so he's gasping for breath by the tine martinelli starts running at him.
Yes of course. A footballer having to run all of 30 meters. Surely too much too ask. He should be allowed about 15 minutes to settle himself.

Come on! He had plenty of time, but just strolled, pointing, waving and having a discussion instead of getting back.
