Thats all i wanted liverpool to do....boooo
Guess i'll just have to be happy with the Treble and breaking city's point record

Time for all the Arsenal fans to start showing up to tell us how the “invincibles” are better than this year’s Liverpool team.

I'm not sure me watching is going to make a difference now

Whats the liverpool/relegation line now

Same teams, Leicester on down. The relegation line moved up (27 points) while Liverpool didn’t (obviously). 

[Captain Ron 12979]

LOL ManU

[Captain Ron 12979]

Damn. Aurier with a strike before the half! 

[Captain Ron 12979]

eVARton screwed out of a goal.

[Captain Ron 12979]

And now Ancelotti got a red card AFTER THE GAME!!!

So did Everton get jobbed or no? Seems like it.

[sidis 9871]

So, I know this thread is chocked full of irrational Everton haters...but can someone tell me I’m not being objective in saying that we just got royally fucked on that? WTF?!?!

and that’s a huge 2 points in this race. Damnit. 

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

They changed the rule 2-3 years ago about players interfering with the goalies line of sight so I was 99% sure that was going to get overturned when I saw it live. Siggurdson only has himself to blame for lying around like he was having a day at the beach. 

[Buzzrock 15032]

I don’t know how you can say that interfered with line of sight. He was on the ground and de Gea tracked the ball with his head the whole way.

[yoladu 4172]

Jesus Christ... Everton got screwed. Line of sight? De Gea got to watch that clearly go into the back of the net.

i thought VAR was supposed to even out referee bias for the top clubs.. it just seems to now more clearly highlight that it occurs!

[Buzzrock 15032]

Or in this case, actually cause it. VAR reversed the goal.

When did Soton become a top club?

Yeah. They got jobbed. I think it's one of those shitty VAR decisions that is questionable, at best. Is it a "clear and obvious error"? No way.

De Gea isn't making that save because of the deflection.

I don't see how that ruling goes against Everton.

The league's statement makes ZERO sense

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Gotta cover those asses. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Unrelated, I want to party with Big Sam.

[Huckleberry 33674]

I'm obviously completely unbiased and that was the worst officiating decision in any competition in history.

Okay, maybe not that bad but it was a complete hose job, yes.

[Jive Turkey 12786]

There’s a public mauling being televised from London. Chelsea up 4-0 on Everton in the 56th minute. It’s 11 on 11. 

[WBT 20776]

That was a slick free kick that led to Man United's first goal.  It should have been saved though.

[WBT 20776]

Yellow cards for simulation are so often stupid.  Fred just got kicked right in the ankle and went down and got a yellow.  You can feel there's not enough contact for a card/penalty and that's fine but you should be damn sure there was no contact before you start giving out cards for diving imo.

[Jive Turkey 12786]

Gonna be a tense last 5 minutes plus stoppage time. 

[Jive Turkey 12786]

What a way for United to clinch the win.

VAR is highlighting how bad the officiating in the EPL actually is.

No clue how that was a penalty for handball.

[RamjetFDO 10604]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I'm glad I had a meeting outside the house and couldn't watch this no-lube-at-all match today.

Serie A is now completely shutting down for the time being. This would be the most Liverpool thing ever to have the EPL shut down and not declare a champion for 2019/20.

Quote

All sports in Italy have been halted because of the coronavirus outbreak, including games in Serie A and preparatory events for the Tokyo Olympics, Italy Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte confirmed in a television address on Monday.

Conte said the suspension -- which is part of a countrywide lockdown -- would go into effect on Tuesday.

 

Earlier Monday, the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), which oversees all sporting events in the country and had initially recommended the ban to the Italian government, said the stoppage would last until April 3.

They'll play but it'll be behind closed doors if they do anything.

David Squires' latest cartoon is pretty great.

Well, it's here. Arsenal-Man City has been postponed due to COVID-19. The Olympiacos owner contracted COVID-19. Arsenal players came in contact with him 13 days ago. The players will remain in their homes for 14 days.

Time to just go ahead and declare this year a no contest.  Nothing more to see, go home folks.  Sorry Liverpool, maybe next year is your year.

[mdmost 43332]

Nah, we just need City to keep losing before we even play next. 

[WBT 20776]

Games not allowed to be shown in pubs?  Who's going to enforce that?

Can't lose if all our games keep getting postponed

[mdmost 43332]

Ha. We accept your surrender. Seriously though, season’s done, right? 

[IPoopOnWhoop 104]

I read some article from England earlier today where one of the contingency plans could be to postpone the Euro's until next year, and allow the club seasons to finish during that time.  However I have no idea how anything could reasonably be planned at this time.
