EPL Matchday 23

How did Pepe not get a penalty?

Yep as blatant as it gets. Didn’t initiate the contact and the leg was stuck out as he was going through. Brought him down and prevented his ability to attack.

 

[SM]

Looked like a dive for me.

How did Pepe not get a penalty?

Martin Atkinson was the VAR official.

Even as a spurs supporter I can't not see an arsenal penalty from that footage. Did he make the most of it yeah sure but it's not like he had no reason to a leg was stuck out there and tripped him

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

Looked a pen to me

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Come on you reds!

 

[Cruyff14]

VAR has destroyed us repeatedly.

I mean, we shouldn't be relying on it for results, but geez.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Definitely a pen. I don't think Pepe even milked it that much, he was clearly clipped.

 

[chef]

Pen for mine too.

 

[Zidane98]

Pepe foul should have been reviewed on VAR and awarded for me.

 

[Gameova_]

Need to thrash United tonight. They always trouble us.

 

[Jars458]

Yep agree in boh instances.

And on Zaha the run into the leg trick is a favourite of his. Definitely not a penalty. Nothing contentious about it whatsoever.

The handball - while I don't think that should ever be a penalty - it's just an unlucky deflection onto his own arm but you can be certain similar penalties have been given (and stood) this season and more will be given. The inconsistent application of VAR renders it pointless.

I agree also. Watching for pigs flying over a blue moon.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Winning the league with complete class I see.

You're about to win the league for the first time in what 30+ years? Lose the hate and enjoy the ride. It will be a special and very well deserved and long overdue moment for your club and its supporters.

Pep is a managerial legend, not winning the league this season or even the Champions League will change that. And in terms of the Champions League you mention luck in having Messi etc but he took that Barcelona team to the next level and at City they have been ridiculously unlucky in the knockout stages. Particularly last season.

While spending £200m to do it.

 

[Fwoy]

You wear the wrong red

[kane249]

Bradesmaen's favourite!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Brandon Williams marking him.. was deserved

 

[kane249]

That was a rubbish decision, clear foul on the keeper

Sanity prevails

 

[Zidane98]

Lol De Haha

 

[RPCB]

Lol. The referee needed VAR for that?

 

[peternorth]

Def a foul. Ref should’ve blown whistle. Wtf
