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

[amexer]

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)

Thank you Maybe it is just hand balls given now, Just thought it a joke for Wolves to defend so well and than have a penalty awarded against just for hitting top of defenders arm

Norwich and Manchester United seem very well matched.

Yes, united have ronaldo, fernandes, rashford and slabhead. Norwich have todd six fingers and delia

 

[The Wizard]

Another penalty given to a top side that would never be given to us.

Cynical gamesmanship from the Pampered Portuguese Ponce.

One of the more honest owners in the Premier League and can knock out a serious pie

Fairy Muff.

But as the years roll on, I'm starting to think more and more that Delia would absolutely mullah Nigella when it comes to pies

You're not wrong there. I looked up "Nigella Lawson cream pie" and I was very disappointed.

If you are a looking over your shoulder kind of supporter , like me, then all the results went our way today.

All the big clubs getting dubious penalty decisions today, which ultimately won the game against the underdogs.
Some good play acting is part of being a great footballer today, me thinks.

Yep. Sterling is the new Zaha.

I also felt Ronaldo and Salah went down with minimal or basically trying to win a penalty.

 

[Motogull]

Stone me. The Arse's first goal today was a cracker eh?

Salah is such a tit sometimes.

The lost art of alliteration. I love it.

Alan Shearer complimented Salah for “getting across his man”, exactly the same as Connolly against Man Utd which got overturned. And the Ronaldo penalty was the kind of challenge that gets turned down for a penalty in every game. Throw in the Man City “handball” and it just highlights how poor our refs are and the big club bias still exists.

I did enjoy Gerrard whingeing about not getting decisions against a big club

To be fair, I think Guiness Boy has copyright here.

So I guess today we need a win for West Ham, and Leicester and Everton to either win or draw.
We may plummet a place or two down the table, but all for the greater good, I reckon...

That is a lot of empty seats at Leicester. Start of people staying away because of Covid again?
