Re: Today's Football 2025-26
Haven't watched much of Chelsea but everytime I do Sanchez looks an absolute bomb scare.

Re: Today's Football 2025-26
I'd still say everything has to go wrong for Spurs for them to go down. Next match feels like a big one for them as it's the first one where they should really win at home vs a pretty crappy Palace side right now. You can understand/make excuses for losing against Arsenal and Fulham away, so it limits the pressure on Tudor. IF they win vs Palace with Forest and Wolves both at home on the horizon after that, they'd probably almost be home and dry.
That said mess that Palace game up and there is a ton of pressure on them and the fans will likely get very antsy about having an unproven PL manager at the helm too.
West Ham have a pretty tricky March with games against Fulham (a) and Man City (h) and Villa (a). So I wouldn't expect much from them for the next few weeks, but if they can still about as in touch as they are going into April they will have a chance to stay up.
Forest helps Spurs a lot as they have Europe without the squad to manage both you'd probably say and would be a more likely candidate for the drop still over Spurs.

Re: Today's Football 2025-26
Was that not a handball or foul from Rice there? Seemed like he raised his elbow whilst having a Chelsea player in a full on bear hug.
Looks like 1-1 anyhow from next corner.

Corners have become a bit ridiculous. I don't know how in a game you square the fact that you have a penalty and red card for a pull back on the shoulder like today in the Man Utd game, but then you see these corners come in and everyone is grabbing anything that moves and trying to pin them down.
It's almost like they've let things go so long (maybe bending over a bit to Arsenal?) that corners have become a different sport.

Tarkowski got a handball given against him with his arm against his side. Rice flicks his elbow up and nothing.
The main reason I hope Arsenal don't win the league is because I worry teams will think it's a viable route to the title and god knows there's only enough room for one boring boring team at the top.

If you look at the Arsenal goal then Timber is literally clutching the shirt of Sarr in the chest area and the ball ends up going in off him and that's not even check or questioned.blueToffee wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2026 5:19 pm Corners have become a bit ridiculous.

A bit like freekicks, I wonder if they might stipulate players have to be 1 yard away from the keeper when the corner comes in.

I had a similar thought the other day but no players allowed in the 6 yard box until the corner is taken.Shogun wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2026 5:28 pm If you look at the Arsenal goal then Timber is literally clutching the shirt of Sarr in the chest area and the ball ends up going in off him and that's not even check or questioned.

Something will definitely be brought in.
