#Barclays 24/25

What a game that was again, Barclays delivering some right rip snorters this season. Title race well on.

That reffing decision at the end one of the most bizarre I’ve ever seen, rightly plays the advantage, looks up, sees Grealish running through on goal, brings it back for the free kick 😆

Is it a possibility that having said he's playing advantage, the linesman has subsequently said I'm gonna flag that? Albeit, that shouldn't matter as it would have gone to var if he scored and he looked on?

It's the only thing I can think of otherwise it's a truly baffling call

That's what I thought.

The linesman was itching to flag and I assumed that he said he was offside to the referee

That was absolutely outstanding from Simon Hooper, by the way. The timing of the whistle, the initial advantage, the manner in which he swats away the City protests. 10/10. 

He obviously wanted to play advantage, but once he became aware that it was a clear an obvious Jack Grealish who was through on goal it's an easy decision to make. Strong refereeing.

Incidentally, Drury is quickly descending to Crocker levels of asininity. "He feasted on his moment". Ooft. And in case we didn't get his point "he was hungry for that" was added seconds later. Pish.

Not fishing for red dots or anything, but not a fan of a female commentator and having two of them for the Liverpool game sounded awful. Whenever anything exciting happened the sound was like seagulls round a bin. Dreadful.

Chelsea fans were applauding Gilmour during the Brighton game, he had a good game too.

Sure they would have much rather kept him than the uber donkey Gallagher.

From a fantasy perspective, taking Watkins out for Nunez was a painful experience.

It's weird how Gallagher now seems a mainstay for both Chelsea and in the England squad, because I really don't see what he offers. He runs around a lot and he's technically reasonably good but surely there must be more than I'm not seeing. It's baffling. 

Just caught their game this morning and their winning penalty was a stinker I think. Mudryk overruns it, Milner comes across him to make sure the keeper can collect and there's a slight coming together. Surely that isn't enough for a "Clear and obvious error" when the referee has seen it? Also, why did they send Pawson to the monitor for the handball shout at the end? Surely the VAR just says "it hit his head, no pen, just a corner" and they'd have saved a few minutes?

They must pre-prepare that crap, which probably makes it worse. It's cringy and trying to hard imo.

If he'd only let play continue a bit longer the Spurs player would have had to cynically chop him down. Man City would still have dropped points and Spurs would have a player suspended which would arguably be a better outcome overall

But somehow not quite so dramatically pleasing

Your scenario is good but I feel you haven't emphasised the specific hilarity of it having been Grealish that would have had to be cemented whilst staring down the barrel of a Barclays glory moment.

De Gea could be returning to the Barclays with Newcastle as Nick Pope will be out for a fair bit.

How many goalies do they need?  Even if Pope is out they still have Dubravka, Karius, and Gillespie on their books
