I think the most obvious answer to this is Suarez, that last season was in my opinion the most dominant performance by any player in a single premier league season. If that Liverpool team had been as good as the current Liverpool or Man City sides I have no doubt that he would have scored close to 40 even without penalties.

The difference here is that Everton has posted their losses so it is easy for the prem to look at it and say that it is over the 105m limit over 3 years and there isn’t really any debate about that. With City and Chelsea they have to prove that the money recorded in their income came from disallowed sources and that is a much harder case which involves a lot of lawyers and time. So it’s not really a case of Everton being poor so much as Everton has admitted to breaking the rule while City is denying it and I’d assume Chelsea is as well but I haven’t really read much about their situation yet.

Bullshit because Haaland realises that he wasn’t going to get to the ball so flopped to the ground in a completely unnatural way to buy a penalty, and I’d say the same if another team got a penalty in the same situation, but as we’ve seen this season City are the team that get the soft penalties and not the other way around

As much as it pains me to defend Man City I can’t agree with that, it was blocking a clearance from his own keeper, if anything a handball in that situation is more likely to create a chance for the opposition than to block it which it may well have done if Sterling hadn’t stopped to appeal for the hand ball and had instead put pressure on Gvardiol who had the ball in a much more dangerous position than he would have been if the ball hadn’t been obstructed.

The handball was a case of the ref/linesman not seeing it and because it was outside of the box VAR couldn’t do anything so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt even if I think it was pretty incompetent of them not it be watching properly. The first pen was a pile of bullshit though.

I hate it when people say he got the ball first as a blanket excuse for why something shouldn’t be a penalty or foul, if you gently nudge the ball and it goes a couple feet like you see here then there is no reason that a standing Broja can’t easily go on to shoot in which case you may as well not have touched the ball for all it did. Maybe if the ball had actually gone any real distance I would listen to the argument but in cases like this it just makes anyone saying it look like an idiot.
