It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

I mean, my team’s position is moot. If Spurs were 20th and United were 1st I’d still be complaining that they consistently get calls in their favor. I’m not going to convince you otherwise it seems. There’s countless examples of refs looking the other way on red card or yellow card offenses. Ronaldo kicking Curtis Jones on the ground against Liverpool, Slabhead escaping yellows when someone races past him. Idk 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think officiating is rigged, no one is buying the refs but I believe theres more leeway with United. That’s all.

I don’t agree and I naturally watch a lot more of our games. We’re still a big club though and our being shit sells. Everything surrounding us gets highlighted and people give a fuck. Both Maguire and McTominay are on the verge of 10 yellow cards and the double match ban, with 8 games remaining, that never happened over a full season, even to warrior like Keane, when we were right up there. The fear factor surrounding united and old Trafford is gone for both players and officials because we’re shit.

Also not to labour the point but with 9 bookings Scot is the joint highest booked player in the league. With 60 bookings united are 4th in the team table. If you take Leeds out of the equation, 91 bookings has them a quite comical 25 bookings clear of anyone else, we’re only 6 off the joint second placed teams.
 
So many interesting scenarios down the stretch here. Next week’s matchup could determine the title. Will the Spurs be able to move up to #3? Maybe Chelsea slips out of the top 4. WHO GETS RELEGATED!!?!!

I don’t think Everton will get relegated but they look so bad. If Burnley beats them at home on Wednesday then I think they’re down. Their schedule until the end of the season is really rough.

I hadn’t checked on Chelsea in a bit but they’re 5 points in front of Spurs and Arsenal. They lose a couple or draw here and there and it’s wide open. 8 game weeks left is still a lot of points to be won or lost!

I’m feeling a draw today. Be better if Palace gets the win.
