Premier League 2011/12 general thread

Rafa was always a 60-65min man for subs, pretty much without fail. I've lost count of the amount of times this season there's 15min left and we need a goal and Kenny hasn't changed a thing

Watching the Chelski Wigan game and have to say how the fook the lino dosent see Ivanovic stood 2 yrds offside when he puts the ball in the net AND ALLOWS THE GOAL is another fooking joke of a decision against a team at the bottom,and Wigan have easily given everybit as good as Chelski at the mo..come on Wigan!!

I'd be livid if I was a Wigan fan. Given how tight the bottom of the table is, that could decide whether or not they stay up.

Could have been corrected in ten seconds if video replays were used in football.

I don't think it would slow down the game very much at all, and even if it did, surely a small delay every now and then is worth it to get the correct decisions?

[prinnysquad]

Aye, poor Martinez. Skanked by ****e officials.

I'm still ashamed of that sorry excuse for entertainment my lot put out earlier. From a fan's perspective, the performances of people like Colback and Kilgallon continues to impress, but as a spectacle that game was a steaming pile of cack.

[nakamura]

Kilgallon really impressed but it was a dire game. Even getting paid to watch it didn't make it bearable.

[Johnny]

Bloody West Brom.

I was secretly hoping Chelsea would somehow manage to scrape a Champions League place tbh, but after today I hope Newcastle get it - todays dodgy antics could see Wigan relegated.

Chelsea given dodgy offside goals? :O

Is it the 2010 title run in again?

[EJG1980]

Jeeesssus H Christ, is it terrible decision weekend or something? Ashley Young: offside, dives, gets a penalty and the QPR player sent off!

[parkinho]

Unreal how poor these officials are. Went to watch Burnley v Brighton on Friday and witnessed pretty much the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen. These idiots make Sunday league refs look world class.

[sj33]

You'll get no defense of that decision from me, as a United fan. It was an absurd decision and everyone could see it. Not a foul, Young was offside anyway thus not a goalscoring opportunity.

This is why Webb is so great, he never whips out the cards unless he really has to.

[C']

Shocking decision.

[sj33]

It was a deserved win for United, De Gea had very little to do. The penalty decision was definately the wrong one, though I suspect it wouldn't have really changed the outcome like the Chelsea offside goal did.

[EJG1980]

Is that the title race over then? Can't say Arsenal don't deserve it, they've dominated nearly the whole match, would have been a fluke if Man City had held on for a point!

And just for the icing on the cake, Balotelli is finally sent off!
