Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[cityfanrob]

Like your boy Fernandinho.....until he got seen off by Danny Rose

Kane not so fortunate though after putting himself about!

Anyway should be a cracking return leg. It's finely balanced right now but City will need to up their intensity and surely KDB will start (Sane too hopefully).

I already thought swearing was suppose to be a yellow card [or even Red],but is hardly ever put into effect by Refs,you use to see the like's of Rooney none stop swearing even after what i thought was suppose to be the Rule of a yellow card etc

And I really don't understand why they're so weak as to not punish players for it, it's so weird. The game is supposed to be all theirs to control, they have all the power and are happy to just accept being verbally abuse by ten players at once.

Hopefully this ref has set the presidence now for more to just dish out reds for any bad language but I doubt it. Even a sly f off I'd give a red for if I was a ref. Think the ban is pretty leniant, but that's football in a nutshell. A few games ban for saying all that, it's ridiculous, just as it was when suarez got a tiny ban for racism. Things like this should see worse punishment otherwise nobody will learn.

A - what a total c***, spoilt petulant little sh**, the guy is doing his job, in no other walk o life would you just call someone stuff like this (unless you play for everton).

B - this needs to be the standard reaction to bad mouthing officials. Billions of kids watching their heroes swearing at people doing their job, what a terrible example to set. It should be a yellow card offence minimum.

Honestly all the clubs should be properly warned about it during the summer , then on the first day of the season the refs should book as many people as possible for swearing at them or crowding them, 2 yard away from the referee minimum and no shouting.

There would be loads of reds but it would stop it dead

Beautiful goal by Arsenal, just beautiful

 

[gonetomorrow]

That score means we are better than Napoli (and Arsenal). Onward and upward.

 

[KaiserEFC]

That goal was not beautiful however. Scrappy as anything.

Should apply to all footy that right across the board, not just professional.

You swear at the ref in either code of rugby, whether pro or amateur, whether kids or adults and off you go.

Kante and Hazard on the bench fresh for the RS.

Arsenal obviously took notes from their schooling by Everton lol

Italian league might be lower standard then French league

The Italian league has the higher rating for UEFA and has been better than the French league almost since rankings were introduced.

All premier league final in both European competitions?

Long odds in the CL perhaps but it's looking possible now. Liverpool vs City/Spurs isn't impossible.

The Europa league looks like Chelsea vs Arsenal all ready.

Arsenal aren't through but no away goals must make them massive favourites.

 

[longers]

Premier League getting back to where it was in mid-late 2000's, the top 6 anyway... the rest are as far behind as ever.

The goalkeeper has short arm syndrome.
