The Premier League - 2019/20

Ah, thanks. Yes, I agree.

 

Stick with it old boy!!

 

I’m getting flashbacks of reading student essays...

 

They been shot-shy all year. Callum Wilson didn’t have a shot on target in the league between October 6th and January 21st.

 

Oddly enough Bournemouth had 55% possession, shame for them they didn’t know what to do with it!

 

Have we got enough points already?

 

As opposed to Demonic Football which is what we've been playing.

 

The Geordies are gobsmacked at how poor the 'Muff's been:

 

West ham giving it a go. Come on VAR.

 

They say that but just wait till they play us.

 

Between us and Villa for 17th on current form. We will need to win a couple, at least

 

West Ham decent or Chelsea susceptible on counter?

 

Probably both. Not that the second one will impact our team tactics at all for Saturday.

 

A little of column A, a little of column B. It was quite a quick counter so nothing for Chelsea to worry about when they play us.

 

Doesn't matter if they are, as we can't hit the target anyway

 

Let's hope Gray if firing on all cylinders Saturday night, he's going to have an absolute field day against the Chelsea backline.

 

Seems like the group’s honesty has been compromised ever since your old friend and mine, Mr Integrity himself, used interest from Arsenal before Christmas to wangle an enormous new contract for himself less than a year after joining.

What a surprise.... Looks exactly like what you had with Silva once his head had been turned.

 

Moura fouled and bundled over, falls to the ground and brushes it with his little finger in the process. Goal chalked off, bloody ridiculous.

 

The most criminal use of VAR yet by our idiot referees.

Moura fouled, ball smashed into his back from point blank range and brushes his finger and not only does Oliver disallow it, but the on field ref forgets to give Spurs a freekick because there was no advantage. Utter ridiculous. VAR kills the game.

 

They had watch a dozen time just to see if his pinky finger touched it. No foul either, a joke decision.

 

Did it even hit his arm? I think it hit his back.

 

Easily the worst VAR decision yet, an absolute farce.

 

Hahahahahahahahahaha. VAR is the best thing about this season.

 

I think he brushed it with one of his fingers as he fell to the ground. Utterly ridiculous because he was bundled over and he behaves in a completely natural way by putting his arms out as anybody would when falling over.

 

No. The rules are killing the game. Not the application of them. Right decision, bad rule.

 

And yet was it the Southampton handball VAR somehow missed in the build up against us?

 

Personally I don't think it hit his hand, but his back. But agree in any case it is a terrible rule. The problem is even with VAR our referees are so incompetent. How can that infringement be "spotted", but the absurd handball at Southampton against us not seen. They are utterly useless even with replays at their disposal.

 

I think the issue is they’ve got VAR so they think they have to go back and check every goal for minor infringements. A lot of these things aren’t spotted by anyone in normal play, not the ref or 22 players. When you’ve got to go back and spend 3-4 minutes looking at replays to see if there was an infringement that 23 people didn’t see in real time then you’ve really got to question what you’re doing and why.

 

And the Newcastle one.

 

VAR aside, hilarious result though. The special one indeed.

 

Yes Spurs very insipid. That goal changes the game though to be fair.
