Liverpool haven’t had any? Seriously?!
 
You beat me to it!! That was the first thing I thought when I read the list. How the fuck did that happen.
All Poch has to do to distract away from the diving is to grow another row of teeth, then clench them and gurn whilst slapping his chest hard enough to bring on a potential heart attack!
Easy. :pochunimpressed::pochlol:

It's a fuckload more than 0 when you factor in home advantage

Bit late to the party on this debate, but from my perception when I watch a game, penalties are most often given away when a player makes a burst in to the box. Hardly ever are they given for the scuffles between two players in the box.

Seeing as many teams come and sit deep when they play against us, letting us have the ball around the edge of the box, we don't have many situations where someone like Son or Moura bursts in to the box at speed. I imagine if we were a team playing on the counter more, then we'd get more penalties. It's likelier for a defender to be caught out higher up the pitch and then mistiming a tackle when trying to recover.

Save you from reading this drivel, it’s Chris Sutton accusing Sonny of diving. It’s so blatantly not a dive but the dickheads in the media are doubling down. Surprised even JJ is even falling for this narrative, even with the evidence to show England’s Slabhead clumsily sticking his leg across like that.

It's fair enough if that's his opinion on that incident (even tho i think he's very wrong )but why hasn't Sutton called out Salah once over the last few months ? If he's upset about Son he must be livid about Salah and even Madison in the same game , the fact he says nothing about those incidents speaks volumes.
 
Didn't know where to put this, so here will do.

Ah, Chris Sutton, brought to you from the guy who retired from international because he was “too good” “not” to get picked for England...umm, 3 different England managers can’t all be wrong....
Sutton is a twat....

Adrian Durham has a vested interest in united being successful! On yesterday’s show -

Adrian: is there much between Rashford and Mbappe?’

‘Can anyone say with confidence man united won’t win the cl?’

He is biased towards English players cause England are basically his club cause the posh are shit..

His latest thoughts on Son are borderline xenophobic. I wonder what chance he’ll give us tonight!

If it was not for this thread, I would not know who Adrian Durham was. Why do you listen to him?
