nta786 Posted 12 March, 2022 Share Posted 12 March, 2022 I think that is the first time ever I've heard Peter Walton 1/2 disagree with an onfield decision - not that he said it should definitely be a red card or anything, all he wanted was for Mike Dean to go over to VAR... Still doesn't change my view he is the worst pundit ref on TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't change my view he is the worst pundit ref on TV He is completely pointless. Either doesn’t commit to anything or backs up whatever decision was made. Like you I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard him not back VAR totally whatever decision was made 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think English refs, var or otherwise, are just wildly inconsistent. Whatever narrative people have going into it (big clubs get the decisions, arsenal are being shafted, English players get an easy ride) can be pretty easily justified with confirmation bias, we remember the ones that back up the theory and forget the ones that don't. Truth is, in my opinion, our refs are just pretty shite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted them whilst sat in block 4 They're core support is small, topped up at home games by people who just want to go to a game in a nice part of London. Away numbers always poor unless it's a derby or really big game, thing is you could walk from Fulham to QPR, Chelsea, Brentford, perhaps even Wimbledon so it's a tiny catchment area compared to us. Looking forward to going there next season, hopefully after the new stand has fully reopened so they give us a full allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 (edited) Everton will inevitably win one or two of their "difficult" games. The parasites that have signed for the club will suddenly find the motivation to shine when required. Home vs Man U or Chelsea decent bets. They won't go down, thats not really Lampard's problem. The issue will be when he becomes just another Tim Sherwood next season and they are still 16th next November.

S-Clarke Posted 16 March, 2022 Share Posted 16 March, 2022 (edited) Brighton are so similar to us, not so much in style of play, but just how they 'are'. They do things in a 'different' way and follow a modern/progressive approach with their coach, but they also go on crazy runs of polar opposites. Little bit more quality/investment in both clubs and we'd be laughing, as we both do it the right way I think. We just don't have enough quality to sustain anything over a season.
