Bournemouth today:

 

[Halladay]

The officiating in England is an abomination.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

How is that Bournemouth disallowed goal any different than what happens to Vicario on every single corner?

Genuine question - not trying to be snarky/sarcastic.

Eric Dier clashed heads with a Stuttgart player and opened up a nice little wound on his forehead. The trainers fix it, 10 minutes later he stops a bullet from maybe 10 yards away... with his head, it hits the exact same spot and the blood flows again. Rough day at the office.

I saw a few minutes of Smackdown last night and the crowd seemed to be singing football-style chants. Is this a new thing?

 

[Striiker]

Good. f*** Forest but also f*** the whiny media for having a shill meltdown over something as simple and well-deserved as criticizing refs.

 

[Starat327]

Welp, there goes Palmers golden boot.

yay...new blood next year...Ipswich Town!!!!

Crazy that Haaland has been "disappointing" this season in some ways, and suffered multiple injuries...

yet his 25 goals in 28 games? 0.93 goals per game?

4th best G/GP ratio in Premier League history. And with 3 games left, if he scores 5 goals in the 3 games to finish with 30 in 31? Will be 2nd best ever after his last season.

yay...new blood next year...Ipswich Town!!!!

I remember their crazy 2000-01 season.

Where they got promoted to Prem and then somehow came 5th in Prem, were 4 points off 2nd place, made Europe...

had a young team too that everyone thought would kick on and do something going forward.

But the squad had no depth and they struggled with the extra games and got relegated.

Darren Bent
Titus Bramble
Richard Wright
James Scowcroft
Matt Holland
Jermaine Wright
Richard Naylor
Alun Armstrong
Tommy Miller

were all ~17-25 years old in that first season and so many looked so good... but only really Bent lived up to talent.

Captained KDB today. FPL season if officially done.

That penalty for Arsenal today way hilarious. Kai should go to Paris for diving. Plus the goal disallowed for the Cherries... makes you wonder.

Sounds like it’s going to be an interesting Summer window at White Hart Lane.

Bournemouth should've had a red in the first half though

You mean the challenge on Saka? That's a yellow not a red to me. Though I dont think there was even a booking. The fact is Kai keeps diving and is rewarded more than often. He should have been sent off against Brentford for it and ends up scoring the winning goal late. Granted, the officiating is getting worse and worse in England. Every week there is something else.

Exactly how I felt about him when he played for that other North London team.

That's fair.

Speaking of, did Arsenal put their end of season Arsenal into Spurs the other day? I can't say I'm not enjoying this fall off, but man is this rough.

Well, maybe they pull this one back. But yeah, there’s work to do this offseason.

 

[Jack Straw]

Most likely too little too late but Spurs have certainly had more of a pulse the last 10 min or so.

He has had a great season

As if being unhappy you were subbed off isnt extremely common
