Thats very strange, as there were thousands of empty seats all over the ground? :confused:

And repeat.
EPL is just a collection of big businesses who happen to play football. There's no room for sentiment. A club's Board is obliged to act in the interests of it's shareholders, so when they see it's main source of revenue threatened it MUST take action. Replacing the manager has proved to work for other companies, so not surprising many do the same.
Most of the time the EPL is overhyped. Tonight’s Arsenal v Chelsea game is 24 mins in and has been braw. Still 9-0 but goodness knows how.
Arsenal playing well in attack and unlucky not to be ahead but for two good saves from Courtois. Ozil has been fantastic.
Don’t know what the ref saw there. Shocker. Hazzard cheats.
Ref had a great view too. Gary Neville’s getting on my thruppennies. He usually talks sense but he’s just rambling nonsense. He said you can’t challenge like that. All he did was kick the ****ing ball FFS. In the first half he said “Whatsthe player meant to do ? Not challenge? Make yer ****ing mind up.
2nd shocking penalty decision against Arsenal in 4 days, Wenger would be quite right to be raging about it. Standard of refereeing all over the world is just embarrassing.
While i dont think it was a penalty, i dont give a fu, that's my btts double up after west ham v west brom last night. :greengrin
That Bakayoko has been horse ****
I think it was a penalty, there was clear contact between the 2 players, it would be a free kick outside the box. Of course Hazard did make the most of a slight touch but it's still a penalty.
I cannae stand Arsene Wenger, I'm delighted to see them give away a soft pen, that's never a pen though.
Contact doesn't mean foul, there's plenty contact all over the pitch, there's nae way the contact on Hazard was enough to send him down, it was barely anything at all.
Decent game great result for Liverpool.
Great game tonight.
What an ending that was, good game with lots of chances
That was a cracking game. Poor refereeing for both sides but it made it more interesting as a neutral.
I don't watch much football on TV, but really enjoyed that - a very entertaining game.
I want to be called Zappacosta.
Fair enough but he doesn’t really make contact with Yazzard.. put it this way if that was anywhere else on the pitch Hazzard would have stayed on his feet and the game would have carried on. Hazzard cheated plain and simple. Cannot believe the experts agree with the ref. Even the ex ref says yes duty bound to give it. Games ****ed if you ask me.
Thoroughly enjoyed the game.
I think he makes contact with Hazard but as others have said, it's not enough to cause Hazard to fall. I agree its not a penalty.
On a similar vein to your previous comment, I see Danny Mills called it a "needless challenge"; if contesting a loose ball when it's about to drop to one of the World's best players in the penalty area is needless then I don't know what would be required in his eyes to make challenging for it necessary.
