Plenty of time for VAR/officials to fuck us over again

What a load of bollocks, utter bollocks

Bloody annoying, that Man Utd manage to scrape points from nothing, whereas we just throw decent leads away.

Always our own enemy

Ahh, that's how it's being played now is it? Back into the second half with as much diving and cheating as possible to get back into it, fucking scum.

Which is why I can't understand anyone saying Eddie's not doing a fantastic job. Top four last season, would have have been top four this season (without injuries/ban), our Eddie's the boy for us, without doubt!

Come on lads, pick it up, get in gear

Just watching the soccer roundup on Sky Sports News, bloody Paul Merson, what an utter bell-end. He's like Sky's equivalent of Talksport's Gabby Agbonlahor in terms of being a deluded, clueless fuckwit. There's that and the general bumming of the scumbag six teams. Back to our game though, I really hope we put a shift in and get the win, the pessimist in me feels like we have a habit of bottling important games though, I'm not even sure the stats back it up necessarily, but there you are.

I see news in Italy is pushing that PIF are allegedly interested in Inter Milan and our 'takeover' could be under threat again. Link

Can't believe that Man Utd side managed to get anything from that match, cakey fucks.

Well, the commentary and media will be happy, cunts.

Fucking ref's been shit all match, falling for Man Utd's dark arts every time. Such an unfair result this.

Personally think we've been robbed tonight by shit officiating, a total home bias. Man Utd have shown nothing to make me think they've been better than us. If not for a mistake by Tripps and the failure to award an obvious pen, we'd at least be drawing. Just so typical when we need the points, takes the piss that the wank teams above us have a much worse goal difference than us, that in itself makes me feel that we've been mugged off.

Always the fucking same isn't it. Shit ref, shit pen decision, shit error from Tripps/defence. Man Utd, spawny gets.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with VAR, the technology works fine. The problem is how it's used, combined with the even bigger issue of interpretation of over-complicated rules by the officials.

Hopefully more than just threats though, it's way past time that some of the clubs being punished by these stupid rules fought back against the obvious corruption.

You should start questioning him on his own shop prices, the bloke's obviously got no idea how much things are worth!

Jeezo, the amount of articles by people either claiming 'they know' or have links to Arsenal, who are claiming Isak would be available for between £80m-£100m, how he'd be a perfect fit for them and deserves to play at a 'higher level'... I just think that, apart from their low valuations being delusional, it's just incredibly disrespectful. Why the fuck would we sell him for such a price anyway? When we paid £63m ourselves and that was before he proved he could do the business in the Prem (he's literally two goals behind Haaland!). I hate the media's love in with certain clubs, gets on my tits no end.

Doesn't it? Christ, I've been thinking it's any part of the body for ages! This is what I mean about how stupidly over complicated the rule is and how poorly it's implemented by the officials using VAR. They need to simplify everything, stick to either feet or whole body, then give the benefit of the doubt to the goalscorer. Too much fucking around by officials and possibilities of different interpretations have made the whole game tedious and less enjoyable. I stand by the problem not being the technology though and 100% how it's used.

That was stupidly close, looked like Gabriel's hand was sticking out enough to make it onside, really don't like the way the VAR tech is implemented. Think Spurs should feel hard done by there.

Was just about to say, the Spurs fans are bloody quiet aren't they, no encouragement at home.

It's a shame really, he's one of the managers in the league that I quite like, just seems like a normal, down to earth sort of bloke.
