***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

Don't expect any of you to care and rightfully so, but our centre-halves free-kick is dreamy here, you expect someone of that type to hit a pile-driver, but this is a Zico-style curler.

The rest of the goals pretty much standard division 4 fare.

Re Sterling: Its harsh, but to the letter of the law etc.

Issue for me that makes me agree with the card is that the fans were already on the pitch and the stewards were trying to hold them back, when Sterling charges through the back of them into the crowd. Yeah he's excited n all, but you know you can't go into the crowd, so he should've held back. Barging past the stewards made it impossible for the ref to do any different



Meanwhile, its frustrating that a linesman can see Mata's toe being offside, but can NEVER spot a keeper 2 yards off his line on a penalty.

Missed Fellaini being offside though.

I think CPR's view might have a red-tinted mist.

 

[cpr]

Hadn't seen that at that point, didn't get to watch it live.

Even out over a season n all that...

Hell even Shearer agreed with me over the pen, thats a first.

Meanwhile, can de Boer be sacked even quicker than at Inter?

 

[Furball]

Bilic would surely be very insecure if this were FM.

Hopefully the Sterling red card will see the start of a proper discussion about that particular rule, it's farcical.

Some people moan about the same teams always being on TV but it has to said Stoke v West Brom seems a somewhat less than Super Sunday.

Particularly when Chelsea v Everton is on at same time.

 

[duffer]

[Johnners]

Mane

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow Arsenal are looking as bad as Everton earlier.

 

[grecian]

This is shocking by Arsenal, could be 6 or 7 if they don't watch out.

 

[Uppercut]

They're so bad I feel embarrassed to have looked forward to this game.

 

[Niall]

Hard to have any pity for Arsenal, Wenger should have been fired years ago, and today's line up

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Arsenal are just what everyone other than their manager knew they would be.

 

[duffer]

Woeful, don't know why I bother.

 

[duffer]

Abject.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That was good defending again.
