2025/2026 English Premier League Thread

He was accused of gambling and there were four separate incidents where he allegedly intentionally got booked.

Bit of a crazy game going on between Fulham and Man City. City were 5-1 up but Fulham have pegged it back to 5-4 with 11 mins left.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gvardiol denying us the 5-5 classic at the end with a goal line clearance. We need to encourage more teams to be bad defensively, so much more fun.

[Slava]

VAR is so dumb. That review took forever, only to come to the wrong decision and award a penalty to Newcastle.

[Locke]

We're all missing the point! Everton got 3 points which on its own is shameful! Just shameful!

[Slava]

Well I know we all had that Christian Romero brace and bicycle kick in the 95th minute in our cards for that game!

[The Big Chill]

It’s amazing how bad they are with VAR.

[devo22]

feels like a loss ... a single point from home games against Everton (who played with 10 men for 77 minutes!) and West Ham is simply abysmal. Especially since the league feels wide open this season, there isn't much to separate 2nd and 14th. Makes results like this all the more disappointing.

Scenes at Villa Park!

Villa title charge lets go!!!

[Slava]

Great finish at Villa Park, and I really enjoyed that!!

[Barnet Flame]

I’m going outside to vomit in the street.

It's worse in other leagues to be honest.

Somehow in Spain Santi Cazorla got a red yesterday from VAR on a play where he slid, got 100% ball, but as his foot rolled over the ball it caused his studs to come up and he got a straight red

Seriously impressive heart from Villa this year, they had one goal in this their first five league games and now only three points back in second place. Hopefully they keep it going.

I seriously don’t understand why it’s so bad. I understand that there are some grey areas and some 50/50’s that need to be sorted out, but in that case it should just be “the call on the field stands” and move along. What I can’t understand, is the egregious and clear errors they make even while reviewing the incident for five minutes and in super slow-mo.

I didn’t see that incident you’re describing, but it sounds like one of those instances that is never a red, and it’s just amazing how with the benefit of the review they still manage to get these so wrong.

[Barnet Flame]

They have a good manager, a lot of talent and great spirit, but injuries at key parts of the season could be their undoing.

[cam_calderon]

Oh boy. City with a good lead in the first half against Sunderland too.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Cherki pulling out the rabona assist is nuts.

What a great day of results! Could've been a little better, but not much!

Salah with rant on Slot.

As a result, next week could be his last one at Liverpool as then its African Cup. While right to be upset at not playing and not his fault for team struggles, he’s likely not part of the solution either as he gets on in age.
