BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Spurs did the double over City and drew twice with Liverpool last season, they seem genuinely one of the only teams that could challenge them this season. I think they’ll finish above Chelsea as things stand. Hopefully something Spursy happens though and they implode with Conte walking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Definately the club of the summer in terms of strengthening. Clement Lenglet, Bissouma, Richarlison ,, Forster Perisic and looks like Djed Spence . . They are going for it. Just shows that Levy has finally met his match.

None of them get in the Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea team. Controversially, I think only Bissouma gets in our first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Athleticism is one of the easiest edges to get. Watford tore us to shreds on the opening day last season for that very reason. Obviously it’s a fine line between having players who super fit and players who are utterly miserable but it’s one Conte walks well. Hopefully Villa follow suit.

But I suppose the rule is not taking your shirt off at any point, not just after a goal is scored - ref could hardly ignore it if he celebrated by, say, lighting a firework and dropping it down the goalie's shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have bene interested to see if that was his second yellow what they would have done? Can this scenario happening one day.

Something new for them to cause controversially I still dont get why shirt removal is a bloody yellow. Its passion Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it exactly happened Quote Arkadiusz Milik thought he had scored a 95th-minute winner but it was offside. Milik, who had already been booked, took his shirt off in celebration and was sent off. While Juventus celebrated what they thought was the winning goal, it was announced it would be checked by the VAR official. That sparked an on-pitch brawl, with Salernitana's Federico Fazio and Juventus' Juan Cuadrado both shown straight red cards, while Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri was also dismissed. Milik was not offside but the third goal was ruled out as Bonucci, who tried to head the ball into the net but failed to make contact, was judged offside. Footage later emerged which appeared to show Salernitana midfielder Antonio Candreva playing everyone onside as he was near the corner flag. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62869027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not the case this time but VAR means the play was dead so effectively they pull the game back and therefore the offence shouldn't exist another example would be a hand ball on the line, defender is sent off, VAR rules it offside, the red card would be rescinded because the offside happened before the hand ball offence, here it happened before the shirt removal offence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
