Premier League 2024/25

I suspect what was more important was Man City putting almost all their defenders on the near post / centre whilst the Arsenal players were all at the back post.

It's a routine that exploits stupid zonal marking.

I noticed this too. There were about 5 Man City players between the front of the 6 yard box and the near post. A simple cross to the back post cut them all out. They can whinge all they like about players being blocked/screened etc, but it was shite defending.

There can be no Goldilocks punishment – Manchester City should either be vindicated or damned | Sean Ingle

The seriousness of the club’s 115 charges by the Premier League leaves no room for a result that lets everyone live with outcome

Fair enough, IMO. You can just see it being a massive fudge though, as mentioned.

I fear for us next weekend.

Oh we’re going to get bummed for sure. 4-0 at least.

I just hope everyone sees it as the free hit that it is, rather than another opportunity to stick the knife in.

Depends if we conceded in exactly the same way by making exactly the same mistakes again.

Bet we do.

HT Man U losing to Spuds 1- 0 , could have been 3 down.
Ratface gets sent off [foul on Maddison]

Never a red card FFS. Game has gone

ManYoo, however, are complete dogshit

 

[pork pie fox]

Agree. How they still gave a red after having a look at it is beyond me.

That’s a separate thing to the game though, which is all Spurs. Man U look as clueless as ever in this game.

I thought it was still a red.
Ratfacee stuck his leg out after he slipped.

FT 3- 0 Spuds [flattered Man U ]

Yep. **** goes for the other **** = intent. Whether or not kicking Maddison should earn a booking is the only thing I'll accept is up for debate.
