    As I said, Spurs in time will get their costly bad decision soon enough.
    And when it comes, the manager just has to take the
    moral ground (it happens - but fortunately infrequently,
    doubt it will cost Spurs come end of season etc) .

    It's always good to hear different voices. Hopefully you will feel the compulsion more often. <ok>

    Their "argument" is the owners of The Sheikh Mansour Team were obviously involved

    The fact it's Arsenal's sponsors running it unintentionally gives it strong "They all look the same to me!" energy...

    You'd think that they'd be more interested in fixing their own game, which they lost.
    Perhaps taking out Arsenal at Bournemouth, who finished runner-up in the last campaign.
    But no, they're after Liverpool, who finished 5th last season, directly benefitting the side that's now 2nd.
    Wouldn't they have been happier with a draw?

    Not sure they've thought through suggesting Michael O'Liverpool is on the take, either

    Michael Oliver, who obviously had a massive influence on the game.
    Held the ****ing board up wrong. Probably.

    Everything is relative <laugh>
    They have quite a following on Twitter/X and have recently won some podcast awards I think.

    Reading the conspiracy theories coming from both Saltypudlians and Bottlers today, there is only one solution...

    The media have created this whole VAR situation. For over a 100 years football was played, referees made decisions, fans screamed 'you don't know what you're doing' and the game carried on. Then the TV started to analyse ref decisions in detail and second guess the outcomes. Overall the media' who of course pay for the football, are a malignant force in the game. You wonder where this will end up.

    Listening to various media discussing the Liverpool non goal goal. They just don't get to the point IMO. The fault is having referees at both ends of VAR. Having their mates check their work. They end up protecting their mates instead of looking dispassionately at the incidents. We even have clear proof from (PNP's mate) Mike Dean who did just that. If you are going to have this system then you must have independent people on the VAR.

    The most accurate VAR line I've ever seen to be honest.

    VAR didn't really affect the score though. The goal was disallowed on field so would have been disallowed without VAR.

    VAR corrects errors but not all of them because people are fallible. But I think they should use technology more, not less. Transponders in ball and the toes and heels of boots and a slight change to the offside law could make all line decisions and most offside calls completely automatic.

    I keep seeing variations of this image. This is supposed to demonstrate the incorrect offside decision.
    You can't see the ****ing ball! <laugh>

    Funny how his opinion changes when the boot is on the other foot, or in this case isn't embedded in Ollie Skipp's face...
