I wasn't defending De Gea, more highlighting how goalkeepers outside the big clubs get an easy ride. Any top keeper concedes Greenwood's goal and they're getting questioned. BT's commentators actually defended Bournemouth's keeper.
Including the dive from James that the PGMOL came out and admitted should never have been given?
I'll wait for the PGMOL's statement then. I'm not sure there's been much coverage of Utd's luck with decisions outside of forums and twitter though, nor have many people said they weren't even correct in isolation, just that these marginal calls Utd keep getting haven't been going for other clubs. The handball today for example was no more or less a penalty than Cahill's handball vs Liverpool the other week.
If you mean Fernandinho needing to committ 12 fouls before he gets booked then yea, he must have something dodgy on Mike Riley.
It's been 2 years now. At what point do you stop putting down to a blip or a confidence thing?
Yes. I'm not sure what that has to do with my earlier post though. I was replying to Shami's post about the controversy around the amount of pens Utd have been given this season.
Top of the fairplay league I think you'll find. Dirty Arsenal are bottom of it.
I'm not sure if Ciy are getting away with a disproportionate number of fouls. Utd are certainly receiving a disproportionaite number of penalties compared to other sides though. As for VAR, it depends on what the onfield decision was. I mentioned the penalty appeal Liverpool had vs Palace the other week, it was a very similar handball to the one Utd got today - the onfield decision was no penalty and VAR will only overturn if it's a massive mistake. That said, Utd have had the most subjective overturns by VAR too, including getting a pen vs Norwich that the PGMOL later admitted was the wrong decision.
You shouldn't complain. It's the only table you'll find where Arsenal have nearly 3 times as many points as Liverpool.You're just better at getting away with it
We're going there are we? I would congratulate you on your first Champions League title but.....Fair enough, congratulations on your first Premier League title
I genuinely haven't got a clue how it will play out. City have been very aggressive in claiming their innocence but they were also briefing the Manchester press pack that UEFA weren't going to ban them to begin with either.
As long as Leicester don't finish 5th then it's a no lose situation. Either City get banned or one of Utd and Chelsea finish 5th and miss out on the CL. All 3 eventualities are acceptable.
Some of you guys are a right bunch of whiners We've got nothing to play for, playing in an empty stadium and on a massive come down after winning the title. Of course we're not going to play with the same intensity and have the same urgency to our game. The next few games are going to be a bit of a grind with half the squad subconsciously on the beach already. In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea if Klopp sent a few of them to the beach and brough in the likes of Jones, Williams and Elliott - these guys will play with the intensity and urgency lack was lacking today.
Anyway, we won.
