It’s shocking. Howe should be making this point extremely clear in his press interviews and public appearances. If anything to highlight that we are watching.
I just don't understand how the league think its a good idea, even for the ref's sake. If he makes a glaring error, which isn't corrected because of their weird way of ruling these things, he's going to get stinging criticism and accusations of bias. When in reality he might just have ****ed up. For us its not a healthy situation to be in because he's ****ed up so badly the previous game. We aren't talking about a little error here, it was the most blatant pen you'll see this season. Have they even admitted the error yet? I'd ditch VAR but for the ball crossing the line ASAP. Its been a massively failed experiment which has clearly made football worse from a viewing perspective. I can't really see any justification for carrying on with it. I had my doubts about its suitability but thought we had to give it a go. We have and its been a massive bag of ****e. The goalline tech is fine though and serves a purpose.
I'm missing my first one. Donated our tickets to local Hospice in the spirit of Xmas. Totally ****ing regret it now
Aston Villa v Chelsea Steven Gerrard missing todays game I will be amazed if Covid has had a Christmas Holiday an no others have been affected since Friday
EPL meeting with big-6 & Refs “right, the other key thing - alongside the in-game management we just discussed - is that we need to make sure they have to play EVERY available game with their ****e squad before that transfer window opens…. we couple that up with helping some of the other clubs get a few covid/injury cancellations and games-in-hand then that’s a) new recruits, b) rested players c) fully fit squads and d) known points targets that’ll all play their part in Project **** Newcastle….. So, any other suggestions or ideas before we wrap for today?”
I see Leeds v Villa is off, on Tuesday I can't see our game at Everton still being on unless Everton make a miraculous recovery (which of course they will)
Ofc they will. It’s all engineered to shaft us as much as possible. I could almost guarantee you we will end up playing the most games by the end of December.
I feel paranoid when I write it down - my logical brain says “shut up Matt, we’re just **** and this is what happens when you’re ****” - but my heart suspects there’s just too many things that seem against us… take a couple away and it might feel less sus…
