Same teams always seem to get pens, Fulham, Leicester, United, etc yet we always seem to go huge amounts of games never getting one.

Brighton, Palace. It's basically just us who don't

Hard to get pens when you never actually make runs into the box.

Probably because the likes of carragher use their time in commentary to push the narrative that Richarlison goes down all the time and he's faking injury every game yet no one on TV ever calls Salah or mane out

Leicester look uninterested

Is Shergar spitting out fragments of porcelain from his gob yet?

Rubbish defending for lookmans goal. All fofana had to do was keep running with lookman but be stepped to anguissa and left lookman wide open.. We'd have been fuming if any of ours did that

Yeah. The media, and particularly Wenger, did the same years ago to Andy Johnson. For some reason he had a reputation as a diver when he used to get booted everywhere.

No coincidence the teams with the fastest attacking players / wingers get pens.

Defenders hate playing against pace which is exactly why I wanted us to sign Zaha as him and Richarlison either flank would be a nightmare to keep up with.

Instead Everton love filling their side with slugs like Siggurdsson, Gomes, Iwobi etc

I remember that. Cost us a tonne of points. Did Moyes not send a video to the FA or something? I really liked Johnson but we got good money when we sold him as he was basically knackered

We are not the only ones losing to Fullham heh?

Yeah, I think he did. I remember him being booted in the air in the box at Blackburn away late in the season, same game James Vaughan got a goal ruled offside for nothing, and no pen was given. Think we drew 0-0 but would’ve went 4th had we won.
