Premier League Gameweek 18 (16th - 18th December 2017)

The Sherminator...fantastic player.

Super-human energy levels from City again. Must be something in the water.
 
De Bruyne rather extract a red card than score a goal. Fat lip wanker.
 
Still don' know why nobody (ourselves included) just man marks KDB. They have other dangerous players but everything goes through him.
 
Brilliant defending there by winks. Sweeping up and casually dribbling out of danger. Moron.
 
As clear a dive as you will see.

Refs are useless when it comes down to those sorts of dives these days. No one falls like that.
 
Winks you prat.

Lamela takes 20 secs to produce Spurs best piece of play.
 
Graeme Poll on the Pogba incident:

"The biggest call was absolutely correct as Marriner dismissed Pogba for a nasty over-the-top tackle.

I’m staggered that any experienced football watcher could suggest that the challenge should not have warranted a red card.

Remember that ‘intent’ is no longer required unless for handball. Pogba gets none of the ball and lands his studs on Bellerin’s leg, clearly endangering his safety."

Graeme Poll on the Kane incident (ball barely in sight, straight leg, studs showing, textbook excessive force):

[paraphrasing] "No intent..."

Exactly what I thought.
 
Celebration is supposed to be about David Silva, who is missing the game for the birth of his child. At least according to the commentators.

Weird. Usually they do stuff like that if the player is out injured, or going through some personal issues. I still think he's referring to the derby.
 
It's for Silva who is missing this game, showing his number, 21.
Didn't look like that to me. With what was said about the post match drama, I wouldn't be surprised that he was directing at United players or José even.
 
Don't pass it to your best player wide open while the gk is rushing to the goal brehs.
 
Winks is an Herrera level player. I can understand Trippier and Dier having difficulties, even Lloris' poor keeping from shots coming from the left, but, yeah, Winks playing for the opposition today.
