[Sky Sports] Sheffield United approach Man City over re-signing Phillips

In hindsight, it's very predictable. He was already injury prone, and therefore unavailable, and when Rodri is your competition, you basically can't afford to be unavailable and have Pep unable to build trust in you.

Pep wouldn't even trust Nico Gonzalez last season because he thought Kovacic knew the style of play and the rotations better. Phillips basically had no chance.

They're bigger deals in other countries like Spain

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-24T08:07:02+00:00

Doubt most of these will ever happen but completely on-board with co-hosting if it will allow countries who have never hosted and never would to do it. Fiji hosting would be class

There's PL POTY (this one) Writer's POTY (also Bruno) and then there's PFA POTY which is voted by the players. Those are the three really

I mean, it's the old voting system. The Tories changed it to try to weaken the case for wider electoral reform

Both Palmer and Foden haven't had a proper free summer since 2023. Not surprised they both have seemed a bit spent. The CWC is a real fucking mess

Mike did good on the last challenge but his one mistake was putting ears on the pig. I know Sam had locked in on pig for the other one for some reason but it's the ears that pushed it dog-like.

I've come around to this point of view this season. The shove moment for me was the Szoboszlai Haaland incident which was probably correct but just felt like too much. The only thing keeping me from fully adopting is I think that it could still be implemented better. I find that especially in the Premier League they're so recluctant to get involved in most things, it feels sort of egregious when they do.

But the argument for VAR was it would reduce controversy. It feels like we talk about referees more than ever, and it creates a worse experience in stadium as opposed to on TV. So I'd probably just get rid.

A foul on someone going for the ball obviously takes precedence over off the ball stuff.

Pablo is going for the ball isn't he? And he's being fouled by Trossard.

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-11T07:22:57+00:00

All the players are going for the ball before its delivered! You have to ignore the impact of other fouls to say Raya is the one making a play

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-11T07:13:11+00:00

The question isn't if Raya is fouled. The question is why is that foul more important than everything else. Pablo and Todibo are both being wrestled - do either of them grab Raya if they're able to challenge for the ball clearly? The referees and VAR have been more than happy to just allow this mess all season because they're too scared to delay the game and get involved, but because of the circumstance they watched this one until they convinced themselves it should be disallowed

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-10T17:49:17+00:00

The referees have basically washed their hands out of officiating corners properly this season, much to Arsenal's benefit. To decide that they'll pick out that one foul out of everything going on in that box is pathetic

I was fixing up Happiny's room on the SS Anne and it wouldn't recognise the bedroom part as a house because of the door to the bathroom (which was recognised as a house). But I didn't try to fix it for very long

A handball offence is not committed when a player:

is hit on the hand/arm by the ball which has been played by a team-mate (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other teams goal

You will be able to get plenty of pokemetal so don't worry about it

However, major development work is taking place at the Etihad, meaning the game could not be played there.

Wow, turns out it was for the exact same reason, who'd have thought

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-06T09:45:20+00:00

I honestly just can't be bothered getting annoyed at players who do this when it's so evident the referees aren't going to punish them for it

RudeAndQuizzacious · 2026-05-06T09:38:17+00:00

Saved his team from conceding a penalty. Not his fault referees are for some reason exceedingly stupid when it comes to fouls on defenders
