id love to know what the record is?

 

Maybe we're beig biased, but it seem to look like they get one every other game

It's astonishing! I mean they got 14 in the league alone! I think Matt Le Tissier took 49 penalties in his whole career, Fernandes will have taken that many for that lot inside 3 seasons if they carry on at that rate!

 

It can't be normal!

    Was it a penalty? Yes.

    Would you feel hard-done by as a defender? Yes!

    At first, I thought definite penalty. Then on second glance I thought Anthony Martial made a meal of it. I would be annoyed if I was that centre-back.

21 penalties in one season, 21!! FFS!

Fuck me, the mancs are playing, didnt know that!? Havent seen the penalty so cannot comment on its veracity. But 21 pens in a season, that's like 1 every 3 games, isnt it? And they've had more than their fair share of dodgey awards as well.

 

It's amazing Sadio and Mo can get blocked, chopped or hauled down and refs wave play on but so much fart on a united player and he goes down in the box, it's a pen!

 

One can hope next season the refs see through this shite and they get fuck all given.

In another potential blow to clubs loss of income, PL in dispute with Chinese rights holder over 160m payments.

The Premier League are locked in a legal dispute with their Chinese broadcast partners that could cost clubs hundreds of millions of pounds in lost television income.

Sportsmail can reveal that rights holders Suning Holdings have withheld a payment of £160 million that was due in March, with the Premier League retaliating by rejecting their offer for a three-year extension to the contract to cover the 2022-25 seasons.

The stand-off has potentially seismic ramifications for club finances as the Chinese TV deal is the most lucrative in the world outside the UK, with Suning agreeing to pay £564m for the current 2019-22 cycle for the right to broadcast Premier League games on their digital channel, PPTV.

That deal represented a 12-fold increase on the previous Chinese TV contract with Super Sports Media and the Premier League were budgeting for another significant rise for the next three years, which it was anticipated would help offset the flattening value of domestic TV rights.

The Premier League claim that Suning are in breach of contract following their failure to pay, which is believed to primarily have resulted from the sporting shutdown due to coronavirus but may also have a political dimension.

The clubs discussed the issue at last week’s shareholders’ meeting and are considering a range of options, including demanding an immediate payment, negotiating a revised payment schedule or terminating the deal.

Suning have developed into huge players in the global TV market in recent years having also bought the rights to the Champions League, FA Cup, La Liga and Bundesliga matches in China, as well as a controlling interest in Inter Milan four years ago.

The potential loss of income has been compounded by the Chinese government’s decision to cancel international sports events for the rest of the year, with the exception of Olympic trials, so the lucrative summer tours regularly undertaken by Premier League clubs have been scrapped this year.

There is also a political dimension to the dispute which is uncomfortable for the Premier League, who are in danger of being caught in the crossfire of escalating tensions between the British and Chinese governments.

In a stark message last month, the Chinese ambassador in London accused Britain of interfering in the country’s internal affairs and warned of consequences following Boris Johnson’s pledge to offer UK residency to up to 3 million Hong Kong residents.

The Prime Minister’s decision to block Chinese technology giant Huawei’s involvement in the UK’s new 5G network has also soured relations.

Over the past months, sports broadcasts by Chinese rights holders appear to have been dragged into such political disputes.

State broadcaster CCTV Sports caused a stir last month by switching their coverage of Liverpool’s 5-3 win over Chelsea to a less viewed digital channel.

According to lfchistory.net we have had 40 penalties since Klopp took over just under 5 years ago. We get 8 per year, I counted 31 for Utd since Solsjkaer took over. They will have more than 40 by his 2 year anniversary.  That must help.
