I’m in agreement it does look like he was fouled first and he follows through. I don’t actually think he intended to stand on his leg. If anything he was trying to get in front of the player and the West Ham lad was diving in. Not a red card for me. Now the attack on Wilson the other day was a red card. But it got a yellow???
It's a bit like the Wilson penalty shout at the weekend - Martinez could have been sent off for dangerous play but it was bought back for an offside. Your guess is as good as mine. The EPL decision process is as easy to understand as double Dutch.
FFP has been made a complete mockery of now. They might as well do away with it. PSG had losses of £125m+ last year yet can sign Donnarumma, Ramos, Wijnaldum and Messi on "free transfers" - I'd love to know what the signing fee's and agents fees were for these - while also spending £60m on Pereria and Hakimi (+sign on fees and agents again) - If they managed to sign those 6 for less than £125m I'd be staggered. Fair play to them though they have sold a player for £7m... What is the point?
If our takeover doesn’t ever that go through then I want some damn good reasons why from the PL. Which won’t happen so I want a significant joint statement from the club and AS (especially her given the actions) detailing every last aspect of what went wrong. The club is on its knees man.
Which probably means we have £15m to spend still.. plus the £10m from Hayden so a £25m pot for midfield and defence.
Apparently someone on Twitter has queried the financial conduct of the EPL and received this reply from the DCMS..
The PL are being investigated due to alleged discrepancies with their finances and those of unnamed connected parties. I have had that one confirmed. It is a potential criminal investigation.
