Any team that puts out a weakened team and loses should be punished. It's akin to match fixing
Don't put out a team not capable of winning then. I wonder how much the bookies can make of it
You're right they aren't putting out a weak side, just one incapable of winning. As a result they are getting punished... it's called relegationGod is an Englishman wrote:Aston villa are not deliberately putting out a weak side

Re: EPL Season 2015-16
Leicester versus Southampton 31st minute - how on earth could the ref not see what was a clear penalty that should have been awarded to Saints?
Mane's chip/shot after rounding the 'keeper was blocked by Simpson's forearm to ball. Changed the game & possibly the EPL title.

It's long been said that you need a bit of luck to win the league and they've certainly had some there, maybe it's predestined that they'll be champions.
Hard to believe that, with Huth and Brown clambering all over the forwards, they've only had two pens awarded against them, but somehow got 10 at the other end.

Would have thought a new-found Pochettino fan would have cheered vociferously if the penalty had been awarded.

Re: EPL Season 2015-16
I've always said that the team at the top after 38 games deserves to be champions and I stand by that. Leicester look like they'll do it now and good luck to them. They've played as a team and managed, by hook or by crook, to keep more or less the same players all season. Yes, they've had the run of the ball but it's a magnificent performance.New Year New name wrote:And yet Spurs unable to beat mid table teams away means they don't deserve to win the league.....Nice One Cyril wrote:Good to see you supporting the triple punishment of a red card, penalty and two game ban.

Liverpool and Spurs both play a very similar brand of football now and they sort of cancelled each other out. Personally, I thought Liverpool shaded the game, but a perhaps not enough to deserve the win. Coutinho is such a good player, it's a real shame he's such a cheating diver.

Re: EPL Season 2015-16
I genuinely think you have been the best team this season, but Leicester deserve to be where they are, if that makes any sense.
We are where we are as we don't have enough true quality players, so they have good games and bad games. If a true great has a bad game they can still do match winning things, if Henderson/Milner etc are having a bad game they are very poor!

Next season, Newcastle will be playing Burton Albion. That would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

Re: EPL Season 2015-16
It's not really worth celebrating finishing above tottenham. It's not an achievement. This season was arsenals best chance to win the league is a long time and they blew it. At least Spurs were in the title race for most of the season.

Re: EPL Season 2015-16
At the end of a long season, the table doesn't lie and I have to admit that Arsenal are still better than us. Not by much mind you and, had Spurs got the points from the Chelsea game, I think they'd have been a different team against West Brom, but once the Championship had gone, they looked flat, with nothing to play for, the hunger had gone. There's no difference to them between second and third and I'm sure the majority of the players don't really understand the rivalry, it means nothing to them.Big Mac wrote:This is GoldNice One Cyril wrote:If Villa are going to beat anyone, it'll be your useless lot of underachievers.

Still, I'm happy to qualify for the CL, happy that we've signed our manager, we've got a young team and that we'll spend some cash this Summer to strengthen. End of the day, I can take the stick from the Goonie morons, I've had plenty of practice, and they won exactly stuff all (apart from the Emirates Cup of course) in a season where, half way through, I thought they were going to romp home.
