Coufal injury down to Matic??

I cannot believe that the blatant knee to the bollocks by Matic on Coufal in the Man Utd game has not been highlighted by the media. It was an assault that had VAR been active would surely have ended with a red. Coufal is missing games but it’s only West Ham. If it was on the other foot then things would have been so different then.

Really enjoyed that as I savour this fine Alsace Pinot Blanc 2018.

Things have changed. I wouldn't feel comfortable using the term "baboon rape squad" now as it's rather cunty.

Need to add the Rondon back clip to Soucek's face last weekend too. Watch it in slowmo and you see he does a step back to leave a mark. Now I do not think he intended to get his face and 99 times out of a 100 that wouldn't be the case it would simply be to "leave something on him" as we used to say. A stud or two on his leg etc.. as he detects Soucek's flailing leg out the corner of his eye. Media all call it "accidental". It wasn't just like Matics which was a lot more obvious.


Judge the Rondon one yourself:

Yeah, but just wait until it evens out.

We'll qualify for the Intergalactic Super Cup, which we will all watch on quantum streams from Andromeda, without having to even raise a sweat.

Many (6) years ago Dan M posted something that struck a chord with me - So much so that I copied it to my profile

Re: things you dont like about the premiership

I dislike the fact it's not called the Premiership and hasn't for a number of years.

Oh and ticket prices probably.


Actually here's one - scandals and travesties are only so if they happen to big clubs and their players. For instance:

Stoke vs West Ham - Matthew Upson gets elbowed in the face and requires stitches at half time. In the second half Robert Huth punches him in the same area. Barely a mention in the media.

Stoke vs West Ham (again, but admittedly in the FA Cup) - Piquionne scores a tap in to put West Ham 1-0 up. Shawcross, with no physical way of getting to the ball, tackles him from behind on the line and virtually breaks the Frenchman in two, ending his game. No booking, nothing and nothing in the media again.

Man City vs West Ham - Nolan's perfectly good goal is chalked off for offside and the game finishes 0-0. The media reports that it happened, but the headlines are all about City's profligate finishing and Balotelli looking a bit chippy when subsititued.

If any of these three incidents had happened to Man Utd or Chelsea we'd be hearing about nothing but for the following week. Sky would be in uproar, running Special Reports every 13 minutes. Twitter users would be getting themselves arrested. Referees would be banned from training, eating or dressing. Baboon Rape Squads would be roaming the towns of England, forcing people from the streets to hide in hastily-built bunkers where the only sustenance would be the tears of the fragile and innocent.



Seems that not much has changed eh?
