Premier League 2019/20

[Geoff Tipps]

Misc. awards for 2019.

Luckiest winners; Liverpool. Awarded a poxy penalty by VAR (more later) in the opening minutes of the champions league final which effectively decided it. They wouldn't have been anywhere near the final had expensive misfit Dembele not missed a sitter in the last minute of the first leg v. Barce'

Unluckiest winners; Man Utd. Another bizarre VAR decision, maybe the worst of a very bad lot, gave them a peno away to PSG which sent them undeservedly to the next round and lumbered MU with a hopelessly out-of-his-depth manager for at least a year too long.

Unluckiest losers; Man City. As in the previous season, very contentious officiating decisions again cost them progress in the champions league, most notably in the second leg v Spurs. Were probably the best team in Europe at the time and would surely have gone on to win it.

Player of the season; VAR. Has a finger in everything at this stage and ballsing up the game right and proper now.

Did you watch that Nou Camp game?

Barca were blessed to win 3-0, never mind 4-0, which is not to say that Dembele shouldn't have made it that. Salah missed an arguably worse one five minutes earlier when he hit the post with the goal yawning. Liverpool missed a few other relatively easy chances too, and over the two legs were clearly the better team, even without Salah and Firmino in the second game.

Agree on City - they've been hard done by in Europe the past two seasons, although they themselves got a very dodgy handball penalty award in the Wembley game against Spurs.

Hard done by the season Liverpool knocked them out 5-1?? When you lose by that margin you can't cry arse about being hard done by.

Goals change games. Sane had one wrongly disallowed in each leg. The second leg one, in particular, would have made it 2-0 on the night and 3-2 overall. Definitely a momentum shifter. Doesn't mean they would have won the tie, but it would have made a nervous Liverpool's job a hell of a lot harder. Instead, Salah equalized early in the second half and it was game over.

You sure about that?? I barely recall them having any chances in the first leg bar a Sane shot that he pulled wide across the goal.

Yes. Look on YouTube or read the match reports from those games.

As far as I remember, Sane had a goal wrongly struck off for offside at 3-0 in second half of the Anfield game.

This one has it... 86 minutes... although from the accompanying photo is looks incredibly tight.

Looked offside to me!

[Captain Obvious]

Leicester beat Southampton 9-0 at St Mary's Stadium in October and today Southampton beat Leicester 2-1 at the King Power Stadium.

[Milltown Row2]

Leicester or City can't mount any sort of challenge at all! Easiest championship for a while

[From the Bunker]

Leicester or City can't mount any sort of challenge at all! Easiest championship for a while

Yeah, ''Big''clubs like Arsenal and Man Utd have fallen asunder. Leicester were never going to be a threat as they have a small squad a heavily depend on a 33 year old up front. Man City are still the main challengers.

The lowest points total to win the league in a 38-game season was Manchester United's 75 in 1996-97. If you are good enough to win it you are good enough to win it

[Kingdom37]

Leicester or City can't mount any sort of challenge at all! Easiest championship for a while

League has been over since pool beat city. Leicester were never going to challenge.  Expect spurs to shit the toilet tonight as they always do in big games. Liverpool 28/1 to remain unbeaten in league and win champions league is a  great bet

They'll drop points, that be a mad bet, that's why it's 28/1
