VAR

Amazing that they've even got us arguing this, rather than talking about how blatant it is being called in one week and not in another just depending on if we are playing or not. Exactly what they would hope for, argument amongst the fans rather than outrage at the obvious corruption.

Thought I seen somewhere that it was Gibbs from Arsenal

Read somewhere , someone posted 3 stats

Everton only team with no pen
Last red card against an opposition was Arsenal gibs
Can’t remeber the 3rd thing

It was Gibbs at West Brom, early in Carlos season 2019. I think we had a sending off last season. But can’t remember what team or player , im sure that was the first one since Gibbs

The only surprising thing about this is City being there given they have been out of the PL as much as they've been in it...
These are the teams that spend more time in the opposition box so stands to reason they'd get more penalties.

They're the teams that also dive a lot morenthan other teams and the refs buy it time after time after time after time after time and so do the commentators "he's every right to go down there" time after time after time and then when they don't get the decisions the press slate the referees time after time after time after time so its just easier to give them dubious pen after dubious pen time after time after time after time

Mad how Utd have less than the [Poor language removed] and have won 13 prem titles to their 1

 

[spectateur]

It would be interesting to see how that converts to penalties per premiership game.

Shock - the best teams in the league who attack more than any other team, have more touches in oppostion boxes than any other team get the most penalties.

And who have a clear bias for them with some staggering decisions.

It's exactly a surprise the 5 best teams of the PL era are winning more penalties than other teams is it mate? They attack more than any other team so they're always likely to win more pens.

Some blues absolutely love to be outraged by everything.

There's another one.

Ball strikes Richy's elbow from Dunks effort.

Now replace Richarlison with Onana .

Anyone got a video link. Just watched highlights which didn't show it and cba watching the same highlights again

Who’s outraged? It seems you’re the only one.

Yes obviously, that’s why I said “and”.

Are you saying certain clubs don’t get dodgy decisions more often than others?

I get your point, but Man City have only been a 'top attacking' team for less than half of the premier league era. They haven't even spent every season in there.

They don't even make the top 5 teams for points accrued all time. Granted, they're 6th, but that also includes some record breaking seasons points wise, during an era in which the differences between the have's and have nots, have become far more pronounced.

This is the most damning statistic. As mentioned above, it stands to reason that these clubs have the most penalties - they attack more than, say, us - but Liverpool significantly out ahead makes little sense on the face of it when United have won 13 times the amount of titles in that time. I'd like to see how many home penalties are in that list.

 

[Victus]

Can you believe them getting a pen for that? lol We have to die in the box for us to even get close to decision.
