There are claims that he was going to leave at the end of the year and this has nothing to do with the ESL. Not sure I believe that though.

Riding our luck today.

13 seconds , that Wood offside must have been close with Shaw almost level.

Forgot all about this, was Chelsea full value for the win?

The most stand out part of this game is the outfit Sheffield United are wearing. Pink shirts and pink socks, that's relegation worthy in its self.

Foden with a nice goal that wraps this one up.

I am confused as well. I think if he heads the ball on to his arm its not a penalty, same as if the ball hit his foot and then bounced off his arm. In this case it looked to me it hit the top of his arm and the top of his head at the same time. He has his arm in an odd position, it is just hanging out there. I can see why they gave the penalty.

Looked like it hit his head and arm at the same time to me.

Arsenal players and fans certainly thought so when he went down with no contact to win a penalty against them in December 2018. Son does have a reputation for diving, but in all fairness most attacking players do. Its the old problem, if you don't go down, you don't get the call.

Never mind Roy Keane, what about those of us saw Chopper Harris, Nobby Stiles and Don Revie's Leeds. Watch the old videos of Georgie Best , he hardly ever went down and he was kicked all over the pitch. It wasn't because he had so much better balance than players today, he and players of his day didn't go down because the refs just wouldn't have called it a foul. With the attempts to take contact out of the game and VAR ruling out goals for being a hair off side, they are taking a lot of the joy out of the game for me.

Players going down and rolling on the ground like they have been shot at the slightest touch is one of the main things that hurts the game in North America. Its always the first thing my non soccer friends will say when the topic of soccer comes up. Funny meme about soccer players and covid shots. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2504366873205318&id=100008960882639&set=gm.1199451380468747&source=48
