How have we so far avoided any of our whoppers starting up one of those channels?

You'd have to be being deliberately obtuse to say that leaving Murphy on the bench in the late stages (while only using two subs) after his last league performance was anything other than baffling.

Fat Head's a fucking hoot. Hiring him was a massive misunderstanding by the new owners of a club like Everton. The fans are already completely sick of him.

Boro were denied a blatant penalty, then Fulham were given one, apparently soft, in the 94th minute. This guy was the referee: https://www.efl.com/news/2012/october/men-in-black-geoff-eltringham/ I'd be absolutely fucking raging.

12 points from 12 home games, blimey. Only Swansea are worse.

Should definitely have brought Murphy on like. Playing with confidence and in good form yet leaves him on the bench when we need a goal to win it, pretty baffling that. Very strange one.

6-0. Ten minutes left, Girona could get double figures if they wanted it here.

Fuck me, been watching Girona vs Las Palmas on Mix, Las Palmas are proper embarrassingly shit these days. Girona have just made it 5-0 with a while left yet.

The Premier League official site have the table via gameweek, they also do it for previous season. Sorry, I mean for the entire history of the Premier League, like Statto did. Thanks though, I suppose that'll come in handy from now onwards. Ah fair enough, I don't know how good it is, but just found: http://www.tablesleague.com/ While looking as to why Statto went down. Why did it go down?

It's a strange one. All stems back to a couple of games in the late 70s when the managers Alan Mullery and Terry Venables had a bust up. It's always pegged as a big rivalry but the games I've seen never reflect it. Nobody seems to have ever told the players.

But VAR will be used where there is doubt with a penalty. How many people disagreed over the penalty that Chelsea got at Arsenal? Quite a few did on here. So that decision would have been reviewed by VAR and it would still be a contentious decision. The referee wont say ‘sorry lads, I cant review that one cos it looks a bit dodgy’. No it won't. Or it shouldn't anyway. Why wouldn’t it? The referee would definitely review it as the Arsenal players would claim a dive and the Chelsea players would be totally the opposite. The referee would go into it looking for issues around whether or not there was contact, when he’d then get sucked into whether or not the contact was sufficient for the player to go down - which is perception rather than clear cut. Why wouldn’t the referee review it? Who or what would stop them? For exactly the reason that I mentioned in the previous post - If there's any contentious grey area whatsoever, then VAR isn't used. It has to be absolutely clear cut that an error has been made. If the referee checks then it should be that they have serious doubts, or it should be because the VAR panel know that an obviously erroneous decision has been made. VAR isn't there for the reasons that you've mentioned, but it seems to be a misconception that everyone including pundits seems to have. This is completely contrary to how it has been implemented in Italy and Germany, maybe that's how they've arrived at this "misconception". It's not only used for obvious decisions which is why it's deeply unpopular. It's also been common for them to go way back from the incident, and disallow goals or penalties because of things that happened at the other end of the field a minute ago. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5246317/amp/England-excited-VAR-Germany-sick-it.html

3-0

Man Utd lead.

What the fuck is that mackem clown doing?

I retract this. Looks like he's clearly said something offensive. If he did, he said it right in the referee's ear.

Just seen this thread. :lol:

There's little as satisfying in football as watching an away end react to a late winner.

Nope. That's why I don't do correct scores anymore.

£10 for me from Bet365 too, they've cut my amount since I cut my stakes, was losing too much.

Darlow's more agile but far more likely to just hoy the ball in his own net under no pressure.

I thought O'Briens goal for us in the premier league was against Coventry in our 2nd game when we lost 2-1 midweek? It was, it was a twice deflected free kick, I think neesy's right.

Shearer - Man Utd Solano - Middlesbrough Robert - Derby Cabaye - West Ham Viana - West Brom Ryan Taylor - mackems Emre - mackems N'Zogbia - Fulham Saivet - West Ham Geremi - Spurs Ba - West Brom Townsend - Palace Speed - Derby Asprilla - Wimbledon Beardsley - Wimbledon Geordiesned, formerly of this parish, has updated me with a Beardsley FK, against Wimbledon in 93/94. So we're just missing one definite.

Shearer - Man Utd Solano - Middlesbrough Robert - Derby Cabaye - West Ham Viana - West Brom Ryan Taylor - mackems Emre - mackems N'Zogbia - Fulham Saivet - West Ham Geremi - Spurs Ba - West Brom Townsend - Palace Speed - Derby Asprilla - Wimbledon These are the 14 we've got confirmed with a specific goal. Other 2 could be from Beardsley, Albert or Liam O'Brien (though that may have been an own goal).
