Premier League 2025/26

So did James pull him or not?

But there’s no point him carrying on after the tug because it’s already ruined his chance of beating the keeper to the ball.

Great move from james perspective but it should be punished.

Why does that matter? If James pulls him while he’s at full pelt, it’s a foul. What Barnes makes of it is secondary.

It’s 100% a foul and James is last man with Barnes in a decent position to score. Definitely a red.

Doesn’t matter if it’s soft, he clearly hooks around the arm just before Barnes is getting to the ball.

Yes but barely. Shit like this happens all the time and you don’t see then given, and fairly so.
Barnes fell down like he was shot as soon as he felt a touch.

Ben white would’ve been walking for it that’s all I feel.

Stuff of champions from Chelsea. Their title to lose.

They’ve been imperious since their 1-1 victory against us a while back.

Doesn’t really matter what other things are given or not given though. Of course Barnes made the most of it but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a foul.

Cucurella is arguably worse.

I do think barnes earlier slip/dive in the box and asking for a pen hasn’t helped in the last moment. Put extra doubt in the refs mind.

Btw, massive goals for Woltemade. Lad was under heavy scrutiny after the own goal last week against Sunderland.

What’s really a load of bollocks and continues to be is the clear and obvious error bs.

You show a ref that exact sequence a second time and he gives the red 100 times out of 100.

You maybe right but that was a goal scoring opportunity and James was the last man. Not the same as a slight tug of the shirt in the midfield.

Maresca should he arrested for wearing leather boots with joggers.

My wife has only just put the darks in, so the likelihood is the laundry won’t be ready for at last 30 mins into the Man CđŸ’©ty vs West Ham game.
