Declan!!!

 

[maclean]

RICE!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

He genuinely looks like he didn’t want that to go in

 

[hatterson]

This was ugly a while ago, but it's getting bad now.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That strike by Rice.

 

[maclean]

One more and we go second

 

[Satan]

naughty

 

[bluesfan94]

Okay Arteta. Time to play the youth. Let's see Reull and Nwaneri

 

[maclean]

Actually I'm not sure if that's true, maybe games played decides before goal difference. Still, catching up on GD can't hurt in a race this close

This is embarrassing for West Ham.

It's GD first. GP isn't a factor because it will never matter in the end

El Neny is back in action lol... That's when you know it's getting bad.

Games played doesn't impact standings since standings don't have any true meaning when teams haven't played the same number of games. So currently City are ahead since they're level on points and GD, and the third tie breaker is goals scored where City has a 56-53 advantage.

If you had a situation where two teams were tied for a place at the end of the season and for some reason one was completely unable to play 38 games due to reasons, either the missed game wouldn't impact anything or else it would have to be a special rule the PL adopted for that specific situation to resolve it.

West Ham playing tennis

 

[bluesfan94]

Okay at least Nwaneri is on. I'd prefer Reull over Cedric but whatever

 

[KJS14]

Scored against Barcelona in CL

 

[bluesfan94]

Okay at least Nwaneri is on. I'd prefer Reull over Cedric but whatever

On the other hand, putting on El Neny and Cedric is an A+ troll move

Kalvin Phillips really ruined his career going to Manchester City.

 

[Savant]

Kalvin Phillips really ruined his career going to Manchester City.

Kalvin Phillips ruined his career by arriving to Man City out of shape

After what happened in the early 2010s, I would never tell a team to sleep on GD. Run that shit up if you can. Honestly never really thought about GD for the first decade I was watching, but margins are so thin now. That stuff matters

After what happened in 13/14, I would never tell a team to sleep on GD. Run that shit up if you can

For sure, I'm sure Arteta told them as much at half too. You know City ain't holding back on that front

And no one is going to cross check you in the face for scoring on an empty net in this sport

 

[JPBolts]

Taylor is just an awful official.

I'm pretty sure he's the one who called the Jota pen vs newcastle just a few weeks ago. Those to me are pretty similar in nature

 

[maclean]

I guess the good thing about throwing the league early is it gives us a chance to recover. Still figure we're only third most likely to win, but it's nice to have some form back and be in the conversation instead of steadily drifting downwards
