    If they get relegated this season, they're in trouble. They've already 'sold' their stadium to their owners and FFP could be a real problem for them, even if their owners are hugely wealthy.

    Personally, I'd like to see it. This kind of spending is madness and drives inflation for their fans as well as the clubs.

    Perhaps the owners will get bored with owning a football club and demolish Villa Park and build a Mall.

    Grealish on the market soon...…?

    Strasbourg v PSG has been called off due to the coronavirus.
    I wonder if we're going to get to that point over here?

    Probably was a foul for the Bournemouth goal but in the space of three minutes they got away with Milner pushing his hand into a player's face, Vergil coming through the back of a player and Alexander-Arnold shoving Smith into the barriers. Then Mane was cleanly tackled, fell over backwards into the tackler and was given a free kick. The standard of referreeing is appalling.

    Also shouldve given Mane a yellow for deliberate handball.

    Southampton fans at the match are very upset about this being upgraded to a red, apparently:

    Not sure why. It's a red and he's got it right.

    see this is one of the reasons why i was totally opposed to the introduction of VAR as
    a) I knew it would be ****
    b) despite a) they would keep increasing the things it would be used for until you might as well stay at home & play Football Manager .
