Big draw for Everton, city is the worst
6 straight wins for Arsenal, top of the table. They have been very good so far this season, just seems they are a bit steelier this year than in the past.
That might be one of the worst single minutes of refereeing in premier league history
I still think the worst was Mike Jones not knowing the rules on the beach ball goal. It wasn't even something he had to call in real time. Take a minute to gather yourself, remember the fucking rule and disallow the goal. Ugh.
Instead of giving a penalty (which was soft but there was contact) he gives a yellow for simulation. Then immediately gives a fucking horseshit second yellow to the same player. Fuck that shit
Absurdly bad call on the second card. As a consolation to you, Palace couldn't capitalize on any opportunities today. Benteke missing the net on the penalty was painful.
Watching MOTD
Xhaka's challenge was fucking stupid. I'd probably have given a yellow, but I totally get a straight red. From pretty much behind with no intent of playing the ball. This has always been Xhaka's problem. He can't keep a cool head.
Just no reason to slide in and challenge there. So stupid. Now suspended for 3 matches.

I agree. I also did not see what preceded it - had Xhaka been involved in an incident earlier (I'm aware that it was a straight red).
It was no different than someone getting beat and clipping an ankle on a break away which happens every game. It's a yellow, for sure, straight red...no way. Professional foul, yellow, move on.
Good news from Poch this morning: Toby's injury isn't nearly as bad as feared. Looks like severe bruising instead of ligament damage and an absence of a couple weeks.
Also, Kane to make it back to the training pitch soon.
