Are you worried about Kane wanting out?

I'm not. He would fit in nicely at United

Re: EPL Season 2020/21

The disallowed goal because of the Son foul was disgraceful. A tap on the face and he was down for 5 minutes and took the whole team to get him up. That stuff really needs to be stamped out of soccer. He should get suspended for it.

He got hit in the face, what exactly would the suspension be for?

not really, he has been at Man Utd for the past 5 years listening to the media.

Simulation. Ok I know he technically got hit but my god. There’s a reason the game is becoming unwatchable and Sons reaction is a prime example.

You also have to then think at what point do you review fouls when a goal is scored. Soccer is such a continuous game that there can be no break in play for minutes. How far back do you go?

Neymar and Bruno would miss every 2nd week if you are going to punish the over-reactions.

That was within 5 seconds of the goal, not really a great example of how far back to review.

I hate VAR with a passion and it leads to these theatrics. Happened in the rugby league too where suddenly players were down for 20 seconds every time they got touched in certain situations.

Football is still extremely watchable for me as long as Jose isnt managing a team or its the 1 game out of every 6 where he realises he is allowed to attack.

Doing so may just stamp it out. I get it though. It's too difficult to make judgement calls if someone is overacting or not. Unfortunately this behaviour is so ingrained in players it will be hard to stamp it out. I watch mostly premier league as it happens less frequently. When the world cup is on I find myself switching off out of frustration.

5 seconds yeah. But it still sets a precedent. Where do you draw the line? 10 seconds?

Re: EPL Season 2020/21

I've said it before but that fact they call it simulation just smacks of how much of a problem the game has with it.

Sounds like a good starting point to me. That way if they keep it up the authority has the flexibility to go to two out of every three weeks.

Gaaawwd, Newcastle got away with a really good win there. Great counter attacking first half that saw us two up with Hammers a man down......and then parked it and invited the Hammers to come back to two all.

Funnily enough, a change in attitude after the leveler and we immediately go to 3-2.

Can't wait to see the back of Bruce, and then Ashley if we stay up in the Premiership. It's been fifteen years of shit managers and even worse management, we deserve better as long term fans (I'm a 27 year fan/ supporter, from abroad but a fan nonetheless).

35 points....almost safe.

Was a great game to watch as a neutral. Saint-Maximin surely will get poached at the end of the season.

Need to find a way to keep Wilson fit.

Yes agree, Wilson Almiron and ASM all being injured over the last couple of months have really hurt.

Re: EPL Season 2020/21

Man Utd beat Burnley 3-1. We keep the pressure on Man City. Mason Greenwood with a double and Edison Cavani with a goal in stoppage time.

STOP THE EURO SUPER LEAGUE NOW!!!

Liked for the game being a pretty good one for a neutral, not for ASM most likely being poached.
