  1. Me neither but Dean must have an xray vision to have seen it from that position. So we probably tried to cheat but still got cheated by Dean.
  2. Hayden was probably fine but I’m also almost 100% sure Dean couldn’t have seen it from that pile.

    Dogawful Officiating

    VAR respects the ref's original decision way too much considering it was originally brought in because the refs are shite. Game is so fast now that it's completely understandable that refs will miss things but I have no idea why those wrong decisions have to get so much respect from the VAR team. I was never expecting today's to be overturned despite it never being a foul in my opinion due to that. It's been a lot better this year in not giving penalties for every contact but still mightily struggles overturning a decision when there is contact that is never a foul like today. It will never get better unless the referees watching the screen get better and I don't see that happening anytime soon. The best solution would be to not have the VAR team consisting of referees but some independent party that wouldn't be scared of hurting their friends feelings for overturning a decision.
  4. That's terrible from Ter Stegen.
  5. That's bullshit but it's not VAR's fault, Oliver is still making the decision.
  6. Amazing finish by Demiral, 2-2 with 20 minutes to go.
  7. Eh? Lascelles is the only unpopular forum pick on that lineup and most probably expected him to start in any case against Burnley.
  8. Everton’s squad is really weak and Rafa has been missing three of their best players for a large part of the season. That has to be a factor when you are saying how poor a job Rafa has been doing this season, no? I really disagree with most of your opinions about both Arsenal and Everton squads too.
  9. Arsenal’s squad is so much better than Everton’s that it’s unreal. DCL has been out for a while, Richa has been in and out and Doucoure had an injury. They have to play shite like Gordon, Iwobi, Davies as there simply isn’t anyone else. Rondon and Coleman both look finished but they don’t have any other options. I’ve watched them quite a bit this year and I don’t think he’s lost the dressing room either outside of Richarlison who seems to think he has outgrown Everton which tbh is probably fair. Rafa could easily get the boot but I doubt there is a manager who would have done any better with that squad and Gray and Townsend have been their best players available all season.
  10. Maybe they should stop being dimwits and use it properly then.
  11. I don't see any risk in us being banned from spending money in January. More risk that no one wants to come here but money should take care of that, world is full of players that could improve us.
  12. That doesn't make any sense but I've had that conversation before in these threads.
  13. Bookies think it's somewhere between 60% to 63% likelihood that we are relegated and that seems fair. They have to be pretty good at that or they wouldn't be a bookie soon. The table looks grim right now but even Brentford at 11th and 16 points could still easily get relegated. Bielsa teams usually start well and get tired so Leeds will be in the mix. Crystal Palace or even Brighton, Villa or Everton could get pulled in to the mix and we only have to be ahead of three other teams while Norwich look almost certain to go down.
  14. There was absolutely no chance we could do that after playing with 10 men for that long.
  15. Decent with a man down but we’ll be so tired in the second half. Norwich are garbage.
  16. Hope he never plays for us again, thick fucking cunt.
  17. It’s not, there’s no reason for him to be playing if he didn’t want to. That really cheered me up, deep down I still love him for those few months over a decade ago.
  18. Absolutely hilarious Man Utd lineup. Carrick going for it with a proper PFM approach, three DMFs to give it to Bruno who launches it to Rashford and Sancho to chase. Hundreds of billions for this.
  19. That’s exactly what they have been doing this season and it’s 100% the correct way. Been so much better than the previous two seasons when VAR was giving penalties for every slightest contact that were never worth 0.8xG.
  20. Alright, they shouldn’t have been pens.
  21. No, rules were made more lenient after the farce start to last season that included our pen at Spurs.
  22. Either pen would have been extremely soft and correct non-decisions IMO. Schär possible if it happened near the ball.
