S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2022 Share Posted 14 January, 2022 The Brighton game livened up in the 1st half (Towards the end). Brighton had a pen awarded by VAR and then subsequently went on to miss it. Two mins later Brighton bundled the ball into the net and celebrated a goal from a corner, but that was then ruled out by VAR as Maupay 'brushed' it out of Butlands hands. He had two hands on it to be fair. Brighton being brighton, better chances but cannot put the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 14 January, 2022 Share Posted 14 January, 2022 Brighton should’ve won looking at those stats and reading the match report. Also just catching up on the postponements, surely this is just taking the piss now? Burnley for example, you can’t sell a player and then the following day say you haven’t got enough?

Dman Posted 15 January, 2022 Share Posted 15 January, 2022 Huge game at the bottom today which, I think, will define how the table looks at the end of the season and probably next season as well. If Newcastle fail to beat Watford, I can see that putting a real dent in their ability to attract any real statement signings this window. If they do, they‘ll be level on points with Watford (17th) and imo almost certain to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2022 Share Posted 15 January, 2022 (edited) It's off, confirmed by the PL. Disgraceful. Quote "Following a request from Arsenal, the Premier League board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club's away fixture against Tottenham." With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the board accepted the club's application. "The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. All clubs are able to apply for a postponement if COVID-19 infections are a factor in their request." So, going by that wording, if you have one COVID case which 'tips' you over the edge, because you've decided to sign a lot of African players who are away at AFCON...you can actually get a postponement. Give me a break. Edited 15 January, 2022 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 15 January, 2022 Share Posted 15 January, 2022 (edited) injuries, suspensions, and even AFCON are just normal events that impact squads, and with which clubs have to cope every season. There is no way that with a 25 player first team squad, plus the U23s, ANY EPL team would fail to muster 13+1, even allowing for CoViD.
