Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Khalekan]

Not to sound obtuse, however do you have any evidence of this as every article I've read (FA and non-FA) do not imply any such clause?

No, Phil.

I tend not to go to such great lengths searching for "evidence" to "prove" a point on an internet message board.

That way lies madness.

Sorry

aww poor pep, he may have spend another 200 mill to cope with having a player out for a month

Something about him just gets on my tits.
I think it could be his jumpers and t-shirts, but it could also be that he's a smug bell.
Unfortunately, no one else can challange him this season.
Fergie in his pomp would have Pep crying at night with mind games.

 

[deipnosophist]

Not sure if it's been discussed, but will Zaha be subject to retrospective disciplinary action for that 'deception dive'?

 

[PhilM]

No, Phil.

Less of wanting to prove any 'point' and more wanting to personally clarify the rule for myself, but hey ho.

 

[TheFinnFan]

That could be his season.

Maybe even his World Cup.

Nightmare new years eve for City fans

Its der oil clubs yano....sounds like the rs that ....not you personally I may add lollollol

It's going to be an awfully exciting PL this season as 13 teams jockey to claim one of three relegation berths. Our 1 point haul from the West Brom and Bournemouth games was quite something, and lends me stout belief that our team has the skills, tactical nous and, (most importantly), the necessary fighting spirit to remain terribly competitive in the race to win one of those berths.

Ah...can understand that...I am the same with spuds but not Pochettino.....lol

 

[Alan Whittle]

Sorry @Khalekan, although the FA may impose it in such a way, the rule (to the best of my knowledge) doesn't require the result being impacted.

The wording from the FA mentioned:



Therefore, regardless of how the result impact the final result then the offender (Zaha) should be punished as have other players.

"..clear and overwhelming evidence.."
Stops reading there.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Zaha is easily the worst diver in the league tbf. Every game he tries to con a ref, but he's good at it too so can't blame him.

Burn him! He's a witch!!!
