Has the linesman worked a game with VAR before? Is he just used to letting it go and then letting VAR rule it out? Can't understand it otherwise

Not just me then My only memory is an old woman several rows away admonishing my mate for calling the referee a twat because there was a kid nearby, and the kid's dad turning round and saying "Nah, you're right, he is a twat."

Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll finally be the day Van Dijk isn't allowed to elbow people so we can play against 10 men

Not to indulge in lazy stereotypes but I'll have one hand on my ticket all weekend

Plus more likely to have an unpleasant encounter with their fans than with Spurs, I reckon.

Good time to break a bad streak I guess

Good commentator curse here

A Facebook comment on a Sky Sports ad for the second leg of the semi final

Lookin' good, Kev

What a spectacle that was for the neutral, neither team had a touch in the opposition's box in the second half until about 15 minutes in and the first corner was on 71 minutes.

Wish someone with more motivation than me could make a supercut juxtaposing Rio's comments like "It's Ashley's club, he can do what he wants" and "If Benitez wants players, why doesn't he pay for them himself" with what he's saying now about the Glazers and Brexit Jim.

"Richard Keys, who also believes it's fine to leave your cancer-stricken wife for your daughter's best mate.."

Could have added "..in the aftermath of which, someone was punched by a nonce."

Do you think he needs to clarify his statement then? Because the official Premier League website, basically the blandest matchday programme of football news and who could hardly be described as having a history of sensational headlines originally had this title for its article And has now changed it to this, which isn't much better and still doesn't reflect what you think he really meant. https://www.premierleague.com/news/4229828

Saw Sir Les on a TNT Sports programme where they were discussing Postecoglu's similar issues with inflexiblity and he said a lot of this attitude can be traced back to Pep being asked if Barcelona lacked a Plan B in the Champions League. His response was "My Plan B is just to do Plan A, but better", which it seemed managers at all levels thought was a badass response and gave them a good reason to just persist with what they know without having to put in work to come up with alternatives. Of course the problem is that these managers are not Pep Guardiola, nor are they managing Barcelona.

Their away kit makes it look like they're competing in Squid Game.
