Bake?

Which was a contradiction as how can a bruce team go back to basics, basics were all he could do and even then...

How they concede an equaliser to a controversial var mistake

They are awful, considering the crap teams this season is kinda mad Southampton and Leicester went down last season didn't compute somehow

It's not like it'll be a commercial flight, it'll be a private charter nad they will be driven up to the plane to get on surely, hardly the faff most of us have

Must be gutting for Alfreton

In pub and its showing a cardiff swansea derby match from 2009 and a sign saying "we're really sorry for technical fault we hope to return to scheduled programme shortly" Now is the technical fault that randomly this match has come on or is the 2009 cardif swansea derby for some reason the default gotta show something match while they fix things? Not sure either makes sense...

Drop in ocean i know but it's so frivolous and bad for climate flying to avoid a 3 hour bus journey ffs

Would love Phillips but do you think when he gets the next England call up they could tie him up, dress longstaff as him and send him instead?

hahaha amazing

Police have reported him missing

Still no reason to leave kids without a dad, hope he is found and gets help

christ I don't want to read that, see he's gone missing, I hope he is found ok. No idea who he is but working with someone who is recovering from an attempted suicide at work currently and its horrible.

I would agree that's an issue but it's not like var now doesn't interrupt flow of the game this should less...

I think he regretted not giving a penalty for the gordon 'push' which wasn't a pen either but it would have been a slightly reasonable call, realised time was running out and psg weren't going to score and thought oh hell that pen not given is going to haunt me, and that playing on the mind i suspect... regardless, I am more in favour of just ditching VAR. Never going to happen but it was meant to stop howlers and yet what it is doing is pedantically rechecking every goal for millimetre offside calls and then still making howlers. I am sure there are fewer howlers but also before, at least sometimes it was just that the ref didn't see it right? I remember that being infuriating a lot at the time, and if VAR is ditched (which it won't be) it will be forgotten quickly how bad it was, but there is a difference between a ref just not seeing something and them seeing it on a big screen in slow mo and still getting it wrong. If it is to be used, and it will be, I think like cricket, each team gets 2 or 3 challenges per half made by captain and has to be within 5 seconds of the incident (can't be someone on bench with video equipment and has to be before they could reasonably signal to a player) can ask ref to look at VAR to check a decision. If they get it wrong they lose that challenge, not if right. The only exception when VAR could intervene on it's own would be if the referee had missed an extremely violent tackle they could say that should be a red. I hate the pedantry too. I don't actually believe some of these super narrow offside calls, because when exactly does the pass from a player start? Is it when one player makes contact with the ball to kick it to make an offside pass or is it the moment the ball loses contact with the kicking foot? And if it's the latter how many millimetres does it travel before that is visably lost the foot? Now you may say that is ludicrous but if you are putting down milimetre perfect lines and adjudging offside on that then a millisecond difference in when you place the line could make a difference. Einstein discovered time is relative anyway. It's rubbish.

If people in the media are serious about being critical of intimidation of refs and them being slagged off by managers could more be written or said about how spectacularly Klopp and Arteta lost the run of themselves, and a bit more praise for Howe who has expressed disappointment but has not gone screaming injustice to the hills (and he has more right too than Klopp and Arteta), when asked in press conference if he was seeking anything from UEFA he just say it has happened the moment is gone not worth dwelling on too much. The unsaid thing is that the league secretly wants these over the top dramas, wants managers to act like pantomime villains cos it's exciting.

Good on steve crossman lol I knew him growing up good guy, though still weirds me out hearing him on radio so much

in it he makes fun of Trippier for being old lol

By boss is it definitely a manager or could it be a chief exec or some sort?

He is one of the most heart on sleeve players I've seen. I do think he is probably struggling to motivate himself away at Nottingham forest in the league and plays at half speed, which is still better than most. Magnificent last night.

Liverpool stuff really bothered me but weirdly I'm calmer on this even though lots more riding on this game. Maybe it's because just very happy with how the squad have dealt with horrendous injury we have no right to be even drawing away at psg. Maybe it's because the real damage to our qualifying campaign were the games against Dortmund particularly the home one. That's where any regrets should lie.

Christ man that's awful, hope you're getting support and help

Contrast Eddie here compared to that twat Arteta.

The whole point of VAR was to stop mistakes and it isn't. It just isn't.
