Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

That's an interesting point, except most of the other leagues I follow have even worse collective refs.

In the Czech league, it's not exactly routine, but what Mason did yesterday isn't uncommon.

I've questioned this myself in other threads. If the talent pool for the players in the premier league is essentially the entire world, and the money is the best so the best come, why shouldn't the refereeing also pull from the best that the world has to offer?

However, I have seen pretty dire refereeing from the best that the world has to offer as well. I think that on the whole the British referees are among the best. The problem I feel is that a number of them are biased and they are also shielded from accountability. They are likely less corrupt than their peers around the world

They should be paid more and forced to give interviews after the game.

I don’t understand Arsenal’s tactics at all - what’s the point in hammering in about 1 million crosses when your tallest attacker is about 5’9”

[Wat Tyler]

Fantastic header that

would be nice for us if leicester don't take home all 3 points... or even better if they don't take a point at all.

Get in Arsenal you beauties.

Why do you want Arsenal to win?

I'm watching the Palace game, did I read it right that Willian assisted on that Luiz goal?

AFTV will be conflicted.

Been a good match this tbf

 

[Bullens Rd]

What a team Arsenal.

Literally no idea what’s a good result for us. Leicester losing pulls them closer to us, but Arsenal are moving into European contention if they keep winning.

We aren’t making up 9 points on Leicester are we. Obviously we need to keep teams behind us.

I’d prefer Arsenal to win. Can see Leicester imploding but doubt Arsenal can catch us. Still don’t think we can catch them mind but you never know.

 

[PITA]

The world is changing. One week the RS get a penalty against them at home. The next week the same happens to Leicester. Unbelievable.
