The Official EPL 2010/11 Thread

United this season reminding me of Liverpool 2 seasons ago and Arsenal the year before that. both teams finished the season with the least number of games lost but what really killed their chances was the number of drawn results they had.

Chelsea - 97/98/99... So many clean sheets, so many 0-0 draws. It was horrendous.
 
Man City 1-0 after a Tevez peanut. To celebrate he ran to the bench and up into the stand where the subs sit and hugged Rocque Santa Crux... why was he not booked?

Maybe you only get booked if you jump into the crowd?

Here's the site: http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/LawsofFootball/0,,10794~507515,00.html

Don't really find anything here except:

CAUTIONABLE OFFENCES

A player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of the following seven offences:
1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
4. delays the restart of play
5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick or free kick
6. enters or re-enters the field of play without the referee's permission
7. deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee's permission
 
Very wrong decision by Atkinson to give the penalty which Tevez converts. Whether or not Tevez was fouled, it happened outside the box as the replays prove.

How come de Jongh was not red-carded for the assault on Ben Arfa. Was that not even worse than the one by Karl Henry yesterday? Tackling in the EPL is getting completely out of hand.

And now Atkinson has failed to award a clear and obvious penalty for Newcastle.

Is this man just useless or is he on a mission. This kind of crap is putting me off soccer (the same reason I stopped following rugby).

We were robbed for lack of a better word.I thought we would lose this game but after watching it we deserved a draw.Should have had a penalty..They should not have.As for ben arfa I dont think there was any malice in the tackle,he is just unlucky.It's a shame,his leg is most likely broken.
 
Did any of you guys hear the French or Spanish commentator during the Chelsea match at like th 33rd, 34th minute?
 
Eish Liverpool. Still in the relegation zone.
The merseyside derby next week will be big! considering Everton and liverpool are 17th and 18th respectively

That is unfortunately the typical answer - the point is that it was reckless and dangerous.

How many more legs will be broken before this kind of tackle is stopped.
 
wow liverpool 3rd from the bottom of the log...

Whilst man city is second...

No way, that did not sound Eastern European. I think it was actually a mixed feed between the Portuguese commentary and English.

Yeah, noticed the non English patches of commentary but was too engrossed in the match to give it much attention.

It was about the only times in that match that the commentary wasn't overly pro Chelsea. :p

Well I assume so, because I could not understand.

Yeah, it was getting a little old towards just before the 2nd goal when the commentator(s) made it seem like it was a supernatural feat by Chelsea for keeping Arsenal out.
Eventually when the one dude said some thing along the lines of "We will let you come at us but you won't score because we won't let you score..." on behalf of Chelsea I vomited a little in my mouth.
I'm sure the dude jizz'd in his pants they way he screamed "Wow!!" as Alex scored that cracker.
