Premier League 2016/2017

Biggus

No point.....Everyone knows that Mourinho is a better manager than Wenger both tactically and motivation wise in almost every way in fact except saving the owner money and I don't care about that.

Sendoffs for surrounding the referee and dissent are coming through:

Too bad they'll still allow violent thuggery. Ref usually deserves being surrounded in this league.

That doesn't make any sense, you seem to be criticising referees for allowing "violent thuggery" without giving any example of this and in the second part of the sentence you seem to be advocating intimidating them.
Very contradictory.

Being a ref is a hard job.

Burnwinter

Not giving an example isn't not making sense.

There's certainly a fair bit of dangerous play in the Premier League.

Being a ref isn't that hard a job, at the end of the day you get away with missing calls so long as you don't fuck up worse than all the other refs.

For me the bugbear is still diving though, they need to bring in retrospective sanctions based on video for that.

Oh you've reffed some games Burnsy, do share.

Jose on Pogba:

"I don't confirm and I don't deny," said United boss Jose Mourinho. "I cannot tell you."

"I don't think it is correct to speak about players of other clubs. My directors did a fantastic work to do 75% of the job I ask them to do. I gave them a few options. We have just 25% to do until 31 August.

"We are in great conditions and we are powerful in the markets. We are calm. We have three faces to fill the profile. I am confident Mr Woodward will get the player we need to get a good balance. It's quite close but not yet."

Pogba's done.

I have actually—I used to ref interschool lightning carnivals regularly. 😉

But either way, I gave my reasoning above. Being a ref isn't an impossible task because you're only judged relative to your peers.

Biggus

Not impossible but a hard job, and you're judged whether you got the call correct or not.
And in the case of a collision in the penalty area there are three possibilities-

Penalty
Dive
Play on

And this decision has to be taken in real time.

Burnwinter

You're not listening to what I'm saying.

It's like saying being an oncologist's a "hard job" because sometimes there's nothing you can do, and your patients die. No one's going to judge an oncologist just because a few of their patients don't make it—they'll compare them to other oncologists.

So the matter of the work is hard, but the judgements of others are tempered.

Savz

Being a ref is a hard job.

"Sendoffs" 😆

Coombs

Players complaining is obviously not the biggest problem with refereeing in football, if it even really is a problem. Last thing on the list done first as usual.

😆 Didn't quite come out the way I wanted.

Savz

You can see some of Pep's philosophy already.

Cannon

Chelsea making some serious investment in an already decent squad.

Kante
Batshuayi

actively looking at CB's like Koulibaly and CF's like Morata

With Conte at helm i think they are gonna be a force to reckon with.

Qwiss

They'll need to do a lot more to become a force. Kante is a serious addition but Batshuayi is just a back up for Costa, not really a big deal signing.

Delph says he has learnt more in 3 weeks with pep than his entire career and he might play CB.

Would really have wished to see Pep managing Arsenal and what he will do to some of our players.

Savz

Why does Biggus have a line through his name, I hope he hasn't been banned.

Nice turn and strike by Ross. Always liked him, such a powerful runner and has that magic in him.
