Whitey Grandad

But when was the contact? VAR cannot see that.

But where did the perceived foul occur?

What was in the box? Who kicked whom? Besides, Aldeweireld had a clear handball just before.

I think Djenepo got kicked.

Good point.

How can VAR tell where the contact was from that distance?

I believe they are called ‘draught excluders’

This is the problem with percentages. They mean nothing without looking at the actual figures.

Jankewitz to start then?

It’s called living within your means.

That was quick

To be honest I’m coming around to that hope for this season.

Or worse 😳

Therein lies the answer. Gate receipts have long ceased to be the major source of income for any club.

Surely the national FA has complete authority over who they choose to represent their country? No player’s employers can insist that their player can be picked.

I would be happy to keep my season ticket if the top six clubs were excluded. We might even get more games to watch over the season. It's the television coverage that I hate. Screaming commentators. Endless meaningless replays and slow motion shots of players' reactions. Shots of the managers on the sideline. Shots of the crowd. Shots of the board being held up telling us haw many extra minutes there are. And VAR

I usually like Redmond but yesterday he was terrible. Running into blind alleys and misplacing passes everywhere.

Thanks for these. I thought that you had missed out Osvaldo but I found out that he ws bought in 2013 😨 Who remembers Florín Gardos for £6.12m? And Juanmi was £6.3m. Let's not also forget the wages bill that these players have soaked up. Also there are the payoffs to sacked managers. I wouldn't expect every one to be a success but there has been a lot of money flushed down the toilet.

That sounds familiar.

With Mourinho coming here?

It’s difficult to complain about lack of funding when you consider how much money we’ve frittered away in the last few seasons. If somebody feels up to making a list it would make for sorrowful reading.

The Premier League could never be a fair competition if these six clubs are going to get a huge wad of extra cash every year. It’s uneven enough already and no competition organisers could ever agree to such a gross imbalance.

Now we know how Man City feel.

Bednarek got sucked in again.

Oops Che on for Redmond now please.
