  1. Am i right in saying that the premier league are largely powerless to stop it? Reading more about how fifa took control over it and want a uniform approach.
  2. It was so painstakingly obvious that var wouldn't work or be enjoyable. It is so obvious that it needs to just end. It is such an obviously easy fix to go with their 'most exciting league in the world' branding and end it in the epl. The players hate it, the managers hate it, the broadcasters are bored of it, the fans hate it. Yet for some unknown reason it seems to be ingrained that it must stay. Honestly blows my mind.
  3. If (theoretically) the fanbase hated VAR, is that something the trust could campaign to eradicate from the epl? Put it in your next survey.
  4. I'm annoyed hendrick is dropped. We are going to get absolutely butchered by ziyech and werner, and then that will give our master tactician the idea that he needs hendrick in regularly when he shouldn't even be in the reserve team.
  5. Be interesting to see the number of double amputee players signed by PL clubs next season.
  6. The tactical use of him makes my eyes bleed. Oppo managers have clearly said right he gets the ball so deep that we can just foul him. Him trying to maradona 86 everyone everytime does not work. Put him high and wide where defenders are less likely to want to give away free kicks.

    Jeff Hendrick

    Played every game this season hasn't he? Says all you need to know about bruce. Could tell after 20 minutes of his first game how awful he is.
  8. So blatantly obvious that asm needs to be higher up and wider. Getting the ball 50 yards from goal and being fouled is useless.
  9. I'm still confused as to whether mimms' info/fridge excitement was over the worfund anti competition letter, or some kind of progress between de marco and PL, or somewhere in between.
  10. I assume there is a lot more to come than just some random sending a letter to the PL? And those randoms are the same as Worfund they reference the same QC roger o'donahue
  11. Just get more and more angry with everything i read on this. EFL clubs love it? Of course they do its free money to cover up years of incompetent financial mismanagement. Good on the shankly trust and FA, those behind this plot should be shot.
  12. So the group literally screwed over by the effluxion of time, are pinning their hopes on the same thing happening quickly? Seems a tad naive doesn't it??
  13. Where is the 15 quid going? To the clubs, tv company or both?
  14. What is RLC's actual position?
  15. Massive win in the context of some fairly difficult games coming up
  16. Genuine question about the players, notwithstanding the obvious incompetence of Bruce. Lascelles, Shelvey, Ritchie and to an extent Carroll are clearly very influential in the dressing room. Do you think they 'like' digging in against a spurs etc to spoil, play negative and nick a point? The side seem so on board with utterly rancid football that i often wonder about how much they embrace it, or if they are just genuinely useless.
  17. Are the premier league in any position to reject VAR and to go back to old handball rules? Or is it some kind of mental FIFA directive? The Havertz handball vs the dier handball shows its all some stupid idea to attempt to increase goals.
  18. Obviously absolute nonsense and i hate vhr, but i'd guess that the handball is too early in the build up i.e. not the final touch or assist. So its not "immediately" before the goal. Yes i realise it sounds ridiculous but pretty sure thats their stupid new rule.
  19. The commentators were explaining that it is a rule change to do with "immediacy" of the handball
