    Does anyone else feel they have scaled back var quite a bit. Much better now.

    Lucky boy, Cook (especially as he's already on a yellow).

    Wasn't intentional. Not a straight red and VAR can't deal with yellows except for wrong identity.

    The referee could have given him a yellow in real time though. Not everything comes down to VAR.

    Think if I was playing, I’d just have to punch Zaha and Ayew.... just so frustrating.... rolling all over the field....

    Zaha is an enigma. All that bluster, and barely ever an end result. All that potential, and barely any improvement. Three goals this season. Such a bad return on the massive contract.

    Study James Ward-Prowse, he knows how to deal with Mr Zaha!

    Having watched a few of the games plus quite a few Bundesliga games over the past month, I have come up with one possible reason away teams seem to be doing better (other than lack of home support).

    It's been noticeable how much more the home team's shirts blend in against the coloured seats behind them, while the away team's shirts stand out as being different. Maybe only a small thing but must bring a small advantage I'd suggest

    Always made me laugh... that game against United in the grey kit.... “we couldn’t see the shirts against the crowd”.... hmm... there is one you could see and one you couldn’t....

    Guendouzi (spelling?) ... what an utter ****er. Deserves a retrospective ban, maybe?

    I would love Arsenal to totally collapse and those st the bottom.end to somehow get up to 41/42 points. Feel Norwich and Bournemouth are gone, though.

    I just did a predictor for the rest of the season's results

    Ended up with Villa, Watford and WHam all on 35, with Villa going down on GD

    (Bournemouth 31, Brighton 36)

    What was your final day result between WH and Villa?

    West Ham are lucky we gifted them the leap day points. We were so awful that day. They were only a tad better.

    Not that I care, but Zaha’s career is just going to plateau/peter out, isn’t it? He’s 28 in November and rumours suggest Palace want around £70m for him. I can’t see anyone paying that, especially when that’s a similar price to Havertz of Leverkusen who’s 20.

    Arsenal went for Pepe and have Saka coming through, Chelsea got Ziyech. Would PSG actually want him? Maybe Spurs at a push?
