Would be interested to see what data they are using to calculate that. But that’s not the point I was and still am making. The error rate of the referee still f***ing up and changing the decision incorrectly is 16%, which is ridiculous and adds to the point I made a few weeks ago where the referee on the pitch is influenced by the VAR referee as soon as they tell them to check a decision. It's not, though. The error rate goes down to 0.98% over 6.05% - even though there still is an error percentage in the decisions they make using VAR. The numbers they'll have used will be the decisions where VAR has been used vs decisions where VAR has not been used, clearly. I'm not a fan at all of VAR in the form it is currently being used, but I'll still not argue against it clearly being more correct than refs usually are. It's just used wrong and slows down games unnecessarily. A random stat on Reddit could be based on the square root of f*** all like As I said, if someone presents me with some random numbers, I’d like to see the actual data behind them. The difference between those %s could be based on 1000 decisions or 10 decisions, massively altering the impact. Stats on their own are worthless at times, without being put into context. I could tell you that Mitrovic has been our most successful striker this season with some stats and %’s, which doesn’t actually tell you the true story. Wrongfully changing 17 out of 105 decisions is shameful and further evidence that VAR should f*** off, imo. The only way I would ever accept it is if decisions were instant and there was a near enough 100% success rate in making a decision with it. Why slow the game down at all if there still remains a relatively high error rate with decisions made. It's not the overall error rate though VAR was USED TO CHECK A DECISION 1735 times 1631 out of 1735 it agreed (93.95%) 105 out of 1735 it overturned it (6.05%) 17 out of 105 (or 16% of 6%) were overturned incorrectly. Overall 17/1735 (0.98%) were overturned incorrectly. Again... I’m not talking above the overall error rate, I’m talking about the bit in bold, which is unacceptable. How do we know the person that checked these and came up with the number that are wrong got the decision that the decision was wrong correct? After all many of the laws of the game state 'if, in the opinion of the referee...'

Quite a big difference in that Kenedy uses it to shrug off of a man and move forward. Kenedy tends to do it with his body but not the ball to get in a better position. Parker did it with the ball to pass the ball sideways or backwards.

Why? Type of player when he receives the ball 1v1 with the fullback the crowd immediately get to their feet. He’s an entertaining attacking footballer. I like those types of players. He’s not a dirty player. Doesn’t kick or hurt other players, doesn’t seem particularly arrogant or owt. Alli I get, he’s a dirty player ‘has a bit of devil in him’ but Zaha? His a nice lad and a baller. He's a downright blatant diving cheat. So very easy to dislike.

Rafa "their style, their football wasn't good but they won".
-
They had one shot on target. Fat slug headed twat.
-
That's Walcott dropped for the rest of the season!
-
Then he needs to stay on his line not come for it and then go back and be all over the place.
-
Nice little move that until Kenedy scuffed the shot.
-
Dubravka caught under the ball again.
-
His passing has been off but he's working hard and has done some good defensive work. Come on Shelvey lad.
-
HE'S GOT A BIG FAT HEAD!
-
Howay Diame keep it simple.
-
Pickford has handled outside the area twice now, referee needs to get on top of this.
-
It's being shown at St. James' Park.

I just can't see it (them coming calling), but if they did he would be off I'm sure. Their CEO talked of them making a bold appointment - that wouldn't be Rafa and I just don't think he fits the image of Arsenal that has been established since Wenger took over. Listening to their fans on the radio yesterday as I was driving I think the majority would be very unhappy if Rafa was appointed.
-
I think the friendles are after the squad annoucement. don't they generally announce 30 or so then trim after final friendlies? Yes.
-
Not really been mentioned on here, but we've doing a bit of an Arsenal for most of the season. Lots of empty seats in Level 7 every game even when it's a sell out.
-
We all hate Sunlun and 'Boro of course.
-
The deliberately playing the ball part of the rule is irrelevant as the ball wasn't played forward by a Man City player. It should have been a goal.

Wijnaldum anonymous so far.
