Delle Alli's done 3 of those at SJP. Plus stamped on someone's ankle, and screamed in the ref's face while on a yellow.

That twat aside, I can't think of anyone else who should have been sent off in the Prem. Notts County made a ridiculous robbery at SJP in the Championship with a dodgy pen, not having 2 players sent off who should have, and us having had a player sent off who shouldn't, but that wasn't the Prem.

Sorry, I put at SJP but it's home and away i think.

Mike Dean 100% said something hasn't he...

Looks like Poch says "What did you say" and "Repeat it to the camera"...

My weans are not long home from Burnley. They were down on a school trip. We went to the beach once when I was at school :-)

They had a great time and had seats right next to the tunnel. Good game plus they missed Ayr getting beat !

What’s this I hear that the Scottish league cup could be coming back to its natural home, North Wales!

It’s not “the” league cup but your on the right lines :-)

Total farce. The Irish team had to pull out when one of the games was called off just before kick off due to bad weather. They then couldn’t find time for a re-arranged fixture ?

its a cup up here for teams outwith the top flight. Being very kind, you could say that they were trying to make it more interesting/attractive by inviting Irish and Welsh teams in.

Great result at the rugby by the way. Didn’t see the Scotland game but see we got gubbed.

It seems a strange idea to me, has adding the Welsh, English and Irish teams added anything to the competition? With respect I struggle to see how the teams invited would have much attraction to those fans north of the border. Did the English teams take it seriously? If Wrexham had qualified I would have worried about prioritising it, just for the additional games involved.

Great result and now awaiting our annual household day of tension when Wales and Scotland compete. You keep your non top flight trophy and we will have the rugby, seems fair deal to me.

Nah I think it backfired, assumed it was sponsors trying to inject some interest. Nobody cares about it. I’ve been to 2 finals, good day out but we lost both.

Deal on the rugby :-)

You gonna say that before every LFC game these days? Trying not to jinx it or just learned from the last title race?

if I say they'll win, they'll definitely lose. That's how it goes with my predictions.  

So I only predict a loss, but when I say it it's when I think it'll happen.

[The Nal]

The inevitable disappointment of a Man Utd vs Liverpool game. 

Liverpool look knackered.

[Wooderson]

City’s title now. 

[lost]

After noticing how much fabinho's FIFA 19 character looks like Chuka Ummuna I can't unsee it in real life now.

[pink_triangle]

Leicester must be an impossible job. I think that title win will loom over any future manager.

Dressing room doesn't seem right either. It seems if you fall out with Vardy your finished.

[jyoung]

Kepa ?

[zahidf]

So much to unpack!

A draw away at old Trafford is fine as a result but Liverpool should have really won given Utds injuries. But I still think city will drop points so Liverpool are still in it.

Kepa should be sacked immediately. That was ridiculous.

Arsenal are going to sneak in at 4th aren't they:-o

[jyoung]

Think sacked is a bit harsh but it was mayhem and I feel very sorry for Sarri. Must feel like a very lonely man at Chelsea right now.

[pink_triangle]

Chelsea have always had issues with player power. I think they should just go back to being a pragmatic team that nobody really likes. Maybe Simeone will be free in the summer.

While I'm not going to condone what Kepa did. I would be interesting to know what discussions were had before the game about the potential to be swap.

Simeone just signed a 3 year contract extension at athletico!

Many people sign contracts and then leave!

[jyoung]

Sarri says it was a misunderstanding. We all saw it. I don't know why he's backed down / down playing it. The end is near.

[kaosmark2]

When a team rotates managers as quickly as Chelsea or Leicester, players know who'll get the blame if results go bad. It's still a remarkable thing to see.

That was some Sunday league shit from Chelsea keeper today. Unreal.

Closely followed by the boy that hit the first pen. Embarrassing stuff.

[Comfy Bean]

I didn’t agree with swapping the keepers but when you get the hook you’ve got to walk.
