    This weekend really had highlighted what absolute bullsh*t VAR is.

    So many ridiculous decisions.

    If you are a pube width offside, or it brushes the shirt near your arm in the lead up to a goal. They are happy to butt in and say the ref got it wrong.

    Blatant Penalty missed: "We don't want to interfere and undermine the ref".

    Watford should have had a stone wall pen. Dele handballed it. Evans dived because the ball and going into the net. How can they not interfere with them! But if the wind blows a bit of your hair offside, they will jump in.

    Well, we need to remember how many people thought Daniel Farke and his motley crew of untried youth and German 3rd and 4th tier recruits were "bulls..t" in their first season! Introducing VAR into the game is not an event, it's a process, like building a team to play in a certain style. In the VAR case the process is not helped by discrepancies between how the EPL and its referees have chosen to operate it on the one hand, and how it is done e.g. in Europe, where the system has been in operation longer. One example: no pitch side monitors v pitch side monitors, which in our case shifts responsibility from the match referee to the VAR.
    Also, VAR can't be blamed for the oddities in the handball rules introduced in the summer.

    Well I'm sure there are plenty of injuries that would stop someone playing football but not prevent someone visiting a casino. Bit of a non story for me.

    It was allegedly a viral infection so he was sent home so as not to infect the rest of the squad. Obviously he didn't mind infecting Joe Public!

    Good question this... i'm sure there would be plenty of different views. Personally don't think anyone qualifies yet, bar perhaps Delia and MWJ for saving the club.

    I agree with you but I don't think too many will, KIO would definitely be against any form of tribute to Delia!

    Imagine Goss in that volley pose as a statue. That would look pretty class!

    Holty laughing at Ipswich would also be pretty cool.

    Yep a bronze Goss in Munich volley pose would look awesome! It's an iconic moment for Norwich fans so why not.

    Maybe Farke winking when Lambert was red carded <laugh>

    More likely that he was sent home so as to not infect the rest of the squad with some creativity.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge JM fan but I think his actions were ill advised on this occasion! <cheers>

    Had a really strong feeling Sheff U would beat Liverpool. They lost 1-0 through a terrible GK error.

    I had the same very strong feeling tonight. Beating Arsenal 1-0. Looking pretty comfortable.

    Aguero gets a tap on his ankle, he goes down, then gets another touch, and he rolls all over the world.

    The commentators see that and say "I hope he's ok"

    ...Yes, he's totally fine. Someone toe brushed his foot. I think he will survive it!

    Wish they were that obsessed about decisions in Norwich games.

    After that crushing 1 - 7 home defeat on Tuesday, I'd say he's got his priorities right...
    and his work cut out!

    Man U looked absolute sh*te again tonight. Woeful, dull and clueless again.

    We have to take the game to them and attack them. Liverpool Sunday, Away in Serbia tonight, then all the way to East Anglia on Sunday. Playing as poor as they are. We have to capitalise on this.

    Heard on radio 5 earlier of 2 Liverpool fans who shelled out nearly
    £200 for last night's Champions League match.....but went to Ghent instead of Genk!
    They missed the game. <doh>
