Just climb over him why don't you...not as if you'll ever get punished by these officials.

Hasn't helped that the officials have been as biased as possible either mind.

And it just gets worse. Let's hope none of our future opponents use this as a blueprint of how to destroy us.

2 away games and 6 points was a great return. Today has been fucking awful from start to finish.

We can't buy a single free kick, yet Spurs get multiple game-changing decisions in one game the other day. Our competitors for a CL spot. Gonna be a tough run-in.

Horrible game. We've been ran fucking ragged all afternoon.

We're making Watkins look absolutely world class today.

he's young and has room to improve. He's shown no real ability to score or assist at PL level in his career yet however (a few deflected shots aside).

No but I think we're tired of watching him out there today

Schoolboy stuff.

Jesus we should be 3 down already. Watkins being given the freedom of Villa Park.

Pretty horrible start.

I mean, give Magvicar his dues, as a Mackem I'm sure the football was much more enjoyable when we had Bruce in charge

I've been saying on here for a long time this is needed, as the system we have now generally gives the benefit of doubt to the bigger clubs. Whether that's down to unconcious bias, favouritism, or just plain cheating, I'm not sure. But there's no way those decisions are the same in the Spurs Brighton game if the roles are reversed. Not read anything about this system being developed or thought about yet though, although with modern technology, it clearly would be possible.

It's a joke

Anyone who has a bad word to say about Rafa should be put on ignore by the rest of the forum.

do you really think Bruno or Joe would act like that towards Eddie? You'd have to be beyond stupid to think they would.

I agree it's a non-issue for a player to be a bit upset. But throwing a fit makes it into a bit of an issue. It'll be sorted easily enough, he'll be left in no doubt that it's not to happen again.

Not a bad weekend of results for us. Would be much better if VAR had put in a respectable performance though.

These cunts are so fucking lucky it's unreal. Fuck off.

Referees a Liverpool fan.

The whole world knew Nunez wouldn't finish there.

Nunez

Read the room.
