[Albion] Premier League 10-12/12/21

[Milano]

Been watching the Liverpool Villa game. There is something very unlikeable about Matty Cash. Villa playing well but set up as they did v us 1st half which I guess is understandable at Anfield!! When are refs going to actually do something about all this time wasting though? Villa literally at it within 10 minutes! Feigned injury, keeper holding the ball for 10+ seconds, ages over goal kicks etc.

That will some change

Well - last season it was a 3-3 draw....

Aye …remember watching the game, it could be said to have been a pivotal point in our season, having been 3/1 down at HT

You're right but the scousers in the crowd hollering for a penalty/free kick time after time just as irritating...

Can't get in the mindset that I should be rooting for the 'big' teams in these kind of games...

I’m not really ‘rooting’ for either team, I just find this ‘low block’ defending incredibly boring to watch.
Villa are like Brighton last season under Hughton but with quicker strikers.

Villa denied a penalty, according to final score anyway

More of a pen than the Citeh one earlier imo

Yes, I know it's not EPL but
Oldham (five) 5 - 5 (five) Forest Green
Oldham were the bottom team whilst FGR are top.

Feel genuinely sorry for Leeds players and Bielsa.

Not their fans though. Their fans can F*ck off.

 

[jcdenton08]

Pat Nevin sounds genuinely hammered

 

[Wardy's twin]

some good results there with southampton , leeds, villa & wolves losing. Shame about Brentford win but not bad...

Agree with all of that. The amount of work and effort they put in and still no rewards... feel a little sorry for them. But the misery and suffering of the Leeds fans makes it all worth it. I love their pain.

Unless I am imagining it PL spoilt by far to many penalties. Any of you stats people know if they have increased and how numbers compare to say championship

Just watched a bit of Soccer Saturday for the first time in ages - Tim Sherwood, Clinton Morrison and Paul Merson - no wonder Stelling has quit!

For the first time in ages, I watched BT's equivalent. Much better, I thought, but then again I enjoy the Sutton/Savage piss takes.

No.

As far as I can tell these stats include games played today, there have been Premier League 39 penalties and 43 awarded in the Championship so far this season.

That is one penalty every 4 games in the PL and a penalty every 6.1 games in the Championship.

Over the whole of the 20/21 season there were 125 penalties in the PL, at an average of one given every 3 games, so penalties were more frequent last season.

For further reference

19/20 - 92 penalties (av of a penalty every 4.1 games)
18/19 - 103 penalties (av of a penalty every 3.7 games)

Isn't this VAR related? There were a lot given by VAR because of slight touches. It was cited as part of the reason there was meant to be a softer touch this year, which those stats would support has worked to a small degree at least.
