General Premier League Thread 2022-23 - mod note in OP 12/03/23

I would expect that - but Boehlly has been acting as fantasy manager , siginging Galacticos , not sure Poch or Tuchel would be weak eneogh to let him continue with his fantasy , Football is a team game not a game of the best 11 wingers .

600 million spent, thats a team of 50 million per position - Bohelly needs to hand over the reigns, to a proper DoF , he is not even the main money man , I'm sure theyll be having a quiet word in his ear.

Ziyech is a dope. He deserved to get sent off for his sheer stupidity alone and it was a red card offence in my view. His overall performance was a disgrace and Potter should never select him again.

That goal was checked by VAR and no foul was detected. They must have judged it 50/50 with Mount backing into Dier.

what is the story with Enrique these days? I would have thought any big club looking for a manager at the moment would be going all out for him.

But he didn't deliberately strike a player in the face. He pushed his shoulder and it glanced up. The force was also negligible. Can easily see why a yellow was given.

Why would he do that? He has no obligation to Spurs, sure didn't Spurs sack him and replaced him with Mourinho. Have no idea if Pochettino wants to manage Chelsea but if he doesn't it will have nothing to do with Spurs.

6 months seems very lenient for betting on your team.

I assume it goes up if he bet on himself doing things as it becomes clear match fixing.

The type of bet should be important. If he bets on himself to score or Brentford to win then its not the biggest deal. As then he's trying too score or have brentford win which he should be trying to do anyway.

Other bets on his own team should have very high punishments and then six months shouldn't be a big enough punishment.

A 6 month ban would have him back playing in September or October. Wouldn't be the worst for him, especially with no summer tournament.

I wouldn't think it would put off clubs buying him too much although some will say a hard no. It would be the same as an injury at the start of the season, which is not uncommon. He could train away and adapt to the new team in the background, without the added pressure.

Everton time wasting 5 minutes into the game. Be interesting to see how long it takes for the ref to do anything about it.

So studs up over the ball isn't necessarily a red...seems mad

Midweek update

Was actually quite a bad/lazy tackle on his part. Was lucky he didn't get a red.

Everton's fixtures for late March, April and early May look fairly grim. Their next two games (Forest away, Brentford home) could be crucial for them, I think they might need to win both.
