Feel sorry for Eddie. After so much promise it probably feels as though its all slipping away from him.

This is the problem with PSR - it's not just the money, it's the realisation among players and agents that 'the project' is being well and truly stalled.

December 7th, 2024 - a date which will live in infamy.

They must be all sharing the same few seats.

Simon Thomas in his introduction to GSS today. "There's definitely a big team feel about the current top four." Of course it's only the 'big teams' that matter. Cunt.

Son offside. Baffles me that players getting many thousands a week haven't the sense to stay behind the ball.

Off the cuff I think so, 'cause IIRC the final ET was 95:15. Can't be absolutely certain though.

There were rules, yeah, but they started to tighten as soon as the takeover happened. I don't think it would have been so obvious to guys like Bruno that there would be a group of clubs that would go to any lengths to stop us.

😄 One former ref. Dermot Gallagher.

It was pointed out on ref watch that he blew just after Pope threw the ball, but no mention of whether more than 5 minutes should have been added.

I've been wondering recently if PSR issues have had an effect on the squad morale. There was a general belief in the football world that we would be on the rise after the takeover. Players joined with that in mind. The realisation that fair competition is simply not going to be allowed might have caused a degree of demoralisation.

Dermot said it wasn't a clenched fist with rapid movement of the elbow, so the VAR would consider it just a collision as they were running together! It wasn't his elbow at all you daft cunt, it was his shoulder, and they weren't running together, vD ran towards him.

Ref watch just been on. Covered Longstaff's grappling, BDB 'hand ball', no mention whatsoever of the absolutely blatant trip on Isak! I fucking hate Sky.

I mean you have to put those just under the bar.

Imagine not being able to score at home to Spurs!

It's the lass who was doing the FL updates with the ex Villa guy. I'm guessing the bloke who used to do them must have retired 'cause they don't have a dedicated geezer now, just whichever random amateur happens to be on the show.

I can't see anything but European football continuing to be rigged as long as fans worldwide keep pouring money into it. I renewed my Virgin contract a few months ago and I'm already wishing I hadn't. When it expires I'm going to dump TV altogether, fuck off the BBC, and just stream the NFL on delay plus movies and stuff. I've got a zillion blu rays / DVDs and PC games to catch up on anyway. I'll just have a commentary game on the radio once a week when I have fish & chips.

Well, that'll do me. Going to watch the Packers at the Bears now.

Yeah, whenever I've seen him my appraisal has exactly matched yours. He was the same in the Championship IIRC.

Maybe Ben Thatcher. Regularly elbowed people, plus couldn't let any disturbance go by without running the length of the pitch to get involved.

I've always thought that. Showcases everything that's wrong with VAR. Take ages over a minutely marginal offside decision, but ignore something that takes seconds to correct and can turn out to be crucial.

That team's just bleedin' stupid. I mean big Joe and AG central defence and Isak left back! Fuck is he thinking?

Good job they won, or they'd be off to Ukraine to clear mines with their feet.

Rather than a retrospective ban, force a substitution on the grounds that they can't be fit to continue.

Diverted to Yemen due to fog.
