They're suspending people in the US who aren't even players and aren't even betting on the sport which they're involved in. So this is all very muddled for me in terms of what the actual enforcement/punishment is.

Feels like it should be easy to draw a very clear line between what is permissible and what isn't.

Isn't sports betting in this regard quite a new thing in America? Whereas over here in Britain it has been commonplace for years and in fact has been a big part of the commercial aspect of professional football.

I don't see any reason why Toney would be suspended before even answering the charges. It isn't a criminal investigation, it's purely a sporting one and as of right now, he hasn't been found "guilty" of anything even if it's likely he will when they have the hearing.

It is a new thing. It used to be you could only bet on horse races or in Nevada, but if you really wanted to you could find a bookie but it wasn't "above board".

Otherwise it's new within the last few years as yet another way for states to collect revenue without openly raising taxes.

Amazon have repatriated Chris Wood.

I think Newcastle didn't lose any of their momentum over break

Helps we only had 5 players away, none of them made it past the quarters and only Schar and Tripper played more than 90 minutes total.

The Premier League can go on another long hiatus now, ta.

I'll never like a green kit, obviously the players are at ground level but can't make it as easy to pick a player out at speed.

Not sure what Nunez is doing there, dafty.

Not a bad goal that.

[DavidMarrio]

Bloody fantastic goal that. Amazing ball by England's best right back Trent to Robbo then to Mo

[Colly]

Bet Kenny Dalglish will be delighted to know he's catching up to Gerrard and Fowler on the all time goalscorer list. Interesting commentary...

[Szumi]

Darwin Nunez finds a way to get me so frustrated with him every single game.

He's so physically talented it's insane. But he's got absolutely nothing in between his ears and it shows.

CALM AS YOU LIKE, HE'S VIRGIL VAN DIJK! HE'S VIRGIL VAN DIJK!

He'll get there. We're so used to Mane and Salah and Jota even types who hit the ground absolutely running that a forward whose still a bit raw is different.

[Kaney]

Odegaard is absolutely magnificent. Feels bizarre to not be too worried about going behind these days.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea are scoring actual goals from open play and it doesn't quite seem real.

[Matt]

 

might as well just bend over tbh

I'm hoping for the mid-game 'Haaland rips his Man City shirt off to reveal a Leeds one underneath' spot like he's just been drafted to Smackdown in the middle of a battle royal.

[Matt]

I'm just hoping that all their players are malnourished after Kalvin's eaten all their food

[Matt]

Koch looks stiff around the City attack but Willy is penetrating at the front

[King Ellis]

Disappointing to concede right on half time after looking pretty solid defensively but it's not overly surprising. It's been a case of 'win the ball and give it right back' for the majority of the half so it was probably only a matter of time.

[Matt]

I'm not sure where this defensively solid is coming from, if Grealish was worth 10% of his transfer fee he'd have 2 if not 3. And Meslier's done well to keep Haaland out twice. If it had been 4-0, I don't think you could have complained
