Impressive, with a game in hand, Villa is within striking distance of the top of the standings. A win in that game and they would take the top spot by virtue of GD.

Fucking VAR. 2020 can suck it.

It deflected off a defender. The Arse keeper wouldn't have had a prayer regardless.

Let me say it again.

Fuck. V. A. R.

That was a brutal overturn. 
 

I always hated missed calls but I think I’d take that variability of the human element over this idea that cameras and armpit location are foolproof. The EPL doesn’t even have the fucking technology/frame rate to accurately show offsides.

the call was 100% the right call according to the rules, and i, as an Arsenal supporter, did not like it at all. i mean soccer players bitch about *everything*. a guy will stone cold tackle someone like Ray Lewis and he'll still argue with the official and protest his innocence. so when you have a goal scored and there isn't a single player on the field making a fuss about it, to stop the game to go back and see if you can come up with a reason to disallow the goal is patently retarded.

City going to have to start looking at scenarios. I mean I know it's early - but 15 points given up already might be a tough hill to climb.

Now can Leicester beat Pool?

Probably. We're a MASH unit right now. No Henderson, our starting back 4 has only one regular (maybe), no Salah. Fabinho is supposed to return so that could boost our defense but I'd imagine we're aiming for a draw at best.

Regardless of the result, it's a lot of fun having 5 or 6 pretty legit contenders for the first time in awhile. And manu not being one of them.

One goal win against the worst team in the league. We’re back. Or not. 

A win is a win. Sometimes the other team can get the ball in the net too.

3 goals scored is probably more indicative.

Re: Leeds-Arsenal. This is where I'd like to see the more NBA approach to cards. Yellow for Pepe for the headbutt and a yellow for the defender for being a pussy because it wasn't that hard.

Nah. That’s a straight red. You go to the head face with fists or head.

Disagree. Zero tolerance for a head butt. Players know it going in. No excuse. Do you really want refs having to determine what's a hard head butt and what's not?

Or we'll completely outclass Leicester and get a clean sheet with two converted mids in defense. 2020 is crazy, yo.

Expected you to win. Maybe not that convincingly, though. 

Who had Tottenham at the top of the table through 9?
