Wolves and SHU both screwed on offside today. That was a great ball and finish by Bravo.

what i was just about to post.

looks like the league office is going to restore the big 6 hell or high water.  with leicester as the outlier used to dismiss the accusation.

Wolves weren’t screwed. I don’t like the call as I said earlier and think it’s antithetical to the point of offsides but he was ever so slightly off from all the images we saw.

Well, we let you post here, so my advice is those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

As long as we're all having a moan about millimeters let's go back to this. He was off. Sometimes it goes for you and sometimes against.

[Buzzrock 14903]

Much more objective IMO

Cost Crystal Palace another 3 free points forcing the draw with  Southampton.

In the last 3/4 weeks. Anthony Taylor has failed to give a stone wall pen to United against City. He failed to give a stone wall pen to Chelsea against Spurs & gave handball against us yesterday for a perfectly good goal. All of these awful decisions were overuled by VAR.

But it's VAR that's being ridiculed not the officials.

In the last two days, VAR ruled out two goals that were, at best, absolutely razor-thin offside decisions. It did the same thing earlier in the year w/ a Firmino goal. For every decision it seemingly gets right, it has made an equivalent blunder.

It sucks the joy out of goals. It sucks. Anthony Taylor fuckin sucks too. So does Martin Atkinson. VAR sucking ass and a decent percentage of referees sucking ass are not mutually exclusive. Not sure where you got that idea.

Your gripe is with the offsides interpretation. They can change that but it's being applied the same across all teams that's why there's universal frustration.

However, it doesn't mean it hasn't caught blatant mistakes from the officiating as well. Why is that being forgotten in this discussion?

[MoJames 8244]

They should put in a metric to judge refs based on how many  calls get overturned.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

This guy does a weekly VAR review. I find it very helpful.

I got you a shirt.

Not needed. Already got me one of these. TMHMAT

Soton supporter can shut the fuck up. You're welcome for giving you the one thing keeping your team from relegation. Don't want to hear it anymore. #blessed

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Must suck for Chelsea to realize they spent €80m on Basque Loris Karius

[BrickHorn 18216]

EVARton, imo

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Glad for Var. He was a yard offsides. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Handball. Why are they spending so much time on this review?

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Bournemouth are shite. They’re going down. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Poor T Rex Pickford

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Lol bravo. Dumbass. 

[BrickHorn 18216]

Man U’s struggles against the mid-table continue.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

I'm guessing Charlie Adam has more fun.

[Bone3421 716]

13 pts clear with a game in hand....one full calendar year without a league defeat

Heres hoping 2020 is a little better than 2019

Well that foils Mou's plan to play him as a defensive midfielder.

Villa loses Wesley and Tom Heaton for the season due to knee injuries.

Brutal. Wesley hasn't been great but he's shown a few flashes.

Now they're linked with 36-year old Glenn Murray, (and Batshuayi and Olivier Giroud) which honestly wouldn't be a bad move. He knows how to score in the PL.

I'm going with 1)S America, 2)Europe, 3)Africa, but this is surprisingly close imo. Messi puts SA over the top but Europe has the best "worst player" (Lewa/Mbappe > Auba and Aguero), while Africa probably has their best 3 since Drogba, Eto'o, and Adebayor/Gyan were all playing.

I don’t think Gael Clichy’s mom or Antonio Valencia’s mom would even put them in their premier league team of the decade. Also have no idea how Fabianski would make it in ahead of Cech or De Gea. 

Edited January 9, 2020 by Firemans4Horn

[Goo Punch 4275]

it's just based off whoscored's game scores over the decade, minimum 175 appearances. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

VAR corrects a referees screw up once again. 100% a red card on that Aubameyang tackle. I hope VAR intervenes more on those type of tackles going forward. 

[Captain Ron 12870]

16 points clear with a game in hand. 

[Bullneck 19073]

Watford v. Bournemouth is on TeeVee.  The 70th minute and both teams look gassed.  Just walking to the ball half the time.

[mdmost 43000]

It’s why they’re probably both getting relegated.

The Villa fans singing "Fuck VAR!" is awesome, although the goal looked onside to me.

Keeper has to protect that near post, though.

Hey Pepe... You ready, mate?

Watford ain't getting relegated. Pearson's led a remarkable turnaround, with 13 of their 22 points coming in his 6 matches in charge (and one of those was against Liverpool).

Burnley look lifeless and I wouldn't be shocked to see them go down, along with Norwich and Bournemouth.
