EPL Matchweek 17 Discussion

Rodgers time.

Draw suits me just fine, means Noone capitalised on our slip.

 

[FAITH]

disappointed with the result, possibly the worst Arse team i've seen.

You obviously never seen the team that took to the pitch in the 8-2 loss at OT then.

Just the way I like them!

Per doing his best Ariana Grande impersonation in that photo.

 

[Shoei]

Well we dominated that game and needed a header right at the death to even get a point. We just cant score goals. We've gone from the most lethal side in Britain to the most toothless in one season.

I pine for Daniel Sturridge.

Arsenal are s**t. Cant believe we didnt get all three from that game.

You lot are easily as s**t as we are.

Don't delude yourself.

 

[Benno_900]

I like how he "pines" for his only injured star yet completely ignores the fact they were playing a team missing 5 starters.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

I pine for the central defender we are buying in January.

Looks like they were both so s**t that it cancelled each other out.

 

[BluesMan]

Essentially as above

On the United game, a joke there was only 3 min stoppage time. Probably wouldn't have done anything with it anyway if there was more. But in the 2nd half there was a red card, an injury or two from memory and all 3 of Villa's subs took an eternity to come off

Referees follow a 30 second per sub guideline for substitutions. Red card adds another 30 seconds and a couple of injuries amounts to about 3 minutes.

You've gotten too accustomed to Fergie time. 3 mins is about right unless there was a serious injury followed by a long stoppage.

I thought refs were meant to look at their watch and add on however long the subs, injuries, red cards etc took. I was expecting at least 4 min, probably 5 or 6

I had a close look at this a few years back. Basically they just make it up as they go. No consistency at all between refs, and often no consistency with the same ref from week to week in how they apply added time.

 

[Latro]

That picture of Per does not look good but he was marking Lambert. Here is a picture from Arseblog showing Chambers was actually on Skrtl.

Did you have a close look into it after a certain 4-3 loss in season 09/10

Of course a United fan thinks the amount of stoppage time was a joke, not the dodgy red card that Villa copped

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Obviously not a red but it's strange there wasn't more stoppage time. I agree with Moomba, they tend to guess...

Might have had something to do with it. The same ref that added 7 minutes of 5 minutes added time that day didnt add any extra the following week despite there being two subs in extra time.

I know this will never happen but they could have a shorter time on the clock but it stops each time the ball is out of play.
It would take it out of the hands of the referee and it would get rid of teams time wasting

 

[moomba]

That would be good although the current rules don't add time when the ball goes out of play. Just subs, goals, cards and unnatural stoppages of play.

 

[chef]

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa.

Subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Ake, Oscar, Schurrle, Drogba.

Not a fan of a Mkel/Matic CM, but with so many games in a hurry and Ramires not quite right we don't have much of a choice.

C'mon Chels. Must win game.

Just what you want as well from a 6 ft 6 centre half. Embarrassing stuff.

That truly is embarrassing. You want your center half's to be big, strong and fearless. That is just shocking.
