Was looking forward to Burnley v Leeds on Friday evening and it was complete dross! Well, I watched the first half and it was terrible, ended 0-0 I assume the 2nd half was shite as well.

Ultimately I think it's a yellow but far from the worst decision ever. As mentioned there was no clamour to overturn Schar's card yet the damage from MLS would have been worse. I thought the PGMOL had already backed the decision or am I imagining things. I think given the fuss over it, them backing down now won't look great.

I really like Rogers just not sure where we would fit him in with our style.

Out of the cup, I thought we were petrified of them 😬🤔🤔

My understanding is that under PSR there will be very little benefit to Villa for this as the "book value" of the player will still be high as they haven't had him for long.

I actually re-watched again in work as it was quiet and had sound on high and seemed to me the whilst went as Isak gets the ball out of his feet and in the still above you can see Liverpool defenders actively engaging FFS!! In a way I am glad I didn't watch as I would have probably been in the dog house for screaming at the tv lol

I know I have my black and white tinted glasses but I can't see any reason why VVD on Gordon isn't a red card, it is totally premeditated, needless, late, to the head and off the ball. I didn't watch the game as I was training but did the commentary team even make a fuss of it? Whilst I think Isak's should have been given as a penalty I can at least understand the VAR not over turning it, I haven't seen the shout on Diaz. Seen mixed things on the breakaway at the end, seen some say the ref blew the ball as Pope throws it and Liverpool players stop in reaction, can't verify that as I have only seen twitter videos of our lot ranting about it. Even so the injury time minutes seemed light given the stoppages in injury time.

I think the pen shout last night was one of those that may have been given pre-VAR, seems like a lot of refs are cautious with some fouls because they know VAR will bail them out if they are totally wrong. I'd imagine had it been given on field then it wouldn't have been overturned and in VAR's eyes not a clear and obvious error.

Haha this sums up my feelings exactly. I went into Forest fully expecting a nothing performance and loss, I feel fairly confident today which is rarely a good sign. West Ham have the players to cause us issues. Hoping Kelly can slot in next to Schar fairly easily!

Literally just seen this on X, poor guy 😳😳

Rarely I watch pre or post match build up, partly because "there's enough bloody football on in this house without having to listen to dickheads talk about it" and because I am not that bothered with it anymore. If Howe is speaking fairly shortly after a win I will stay tuned in.

The 10/CM thing was the thing that I was most put out by. He does look a decent left back, however, he's never really stood out to me.

I couldn't be bothered to rewind but heard him say that and thought to myself he can't be on about Ait Nouri. Like you said, decent player but the love in was very odd.

Went for a conservative corners bet acct and of course Pompey don't even register one corner 🤣🙈

Zidane to Real is very different to De Ligt 🤣 and you know it 👀 West Ham have had a decent transfer window I feel especially if they keep hold of their best players. Could be dark horses this season?
