Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2019/11/06/wolves-and-aston-villa-most-affected-by-introduction-of-var/

Really only feel like one Wolves VAR decision was actually wrong tho.i realize the article is just looking at the quantity

yeah i can't say i feel particularly aggrieved, the change in interpretation of handball isn't specifically caused by VAR, and most of my objections to it aren't about whether it gets decisions "right" or not. think Villa have been robbed a couple of times tho.

Yep

kabasele with maybe the actual stupidest red of the season there

sloppy, passing from back risky and awful, slow to move the ball, kane not in it

but way better than it has been

green shoots

Ah, every Spurs fan's favourite conspiracy theory

disqualify leicester from the 15/16 season and arsenal pipped spurs to the title on the last day of the season lol

(xp) Does he score?

he might

ok its awful since start of second half.

hate to actually say desire but our defence is ambling away from the ball and any tackle

cruel on them, that

looked off to me

the defender passed it to him

unbelievable

gone to a very tedious var that should never come into it tbh

Wow. This is really stupid. What a dumb rule.

thats a fucking joke

nothing short of theft this

a shambles and a disgrace

can we do the FA for bringing football into disrepute?

While I’m here, it’s also stupid they won’t stop the clock for reviews and injuries. Technology exists to accurately track time. Pretending it’s the 1800s and you don’t have a digital clock is idiotic.

keeping dier on is a disrepute charge

i've got a fiver on him getting sent off

this game could be salvaged yet

tbf though, it's pretty similar to Aurier's 'goal' against Leicester where we would have gone two up.

true, im railing against the idiocy, not the karmic distribution

horrible horrible horrible defensive system, who the fuck is responsible for the wings

poch has to go

hes just not interested in fixing this shit

I'll take that

finally kids can live out the dream of experiencing down to the centimeter offside calls

an awful call

the real score here is three nil

poch will be happy and say we were unlucky

xp not even that. diers shoulder- and kill me now for even getting into it - plays him on

ahh yes you are right, missed that. even more silly then.

i am warming to the theory that this is a deliberate attempt to discredit VAR, but never attribute something to conspiracy that you can attribute to abject, mind-bending stupidity

fuck this

xp nv its really obvious, cmon

probably inspired by sportsbook gamblers tbh

i should probably start a separate ILF thread just for me having regular apopleptic fits about the cuntery that is VAR, draw the poison off a bit

I dunno, the two podcasts i listen to have p much nixed any discussion of it and rightly so

its been decided, any actual events arising from that until the inevitable end is just focusing on the wrong story to no avail

yeah i agree tbh but then the red mist descends and

shockingly dispiriting second half that btw

poch out, obv none of it his fault tho. players just not trying or not listening to that one genius tactic he had that time that opposition coaches definitely havent spotted the enormous flaws in

another book prob a good idea, tell everyone how you smacked kane down after a row or something

That photo does not seem to capture the exact moment the ball is played tbh

Lucky result for spurs

Newcastle above us now and level on points with Everton

lower midtable be grand if this was a rebuild or overhaul as was flagged

its just a prolonged sulk with no change, unfortunately

looking forward to the big game tomorrow.

might watch Liverpool-City after.

would like to think that Poch is only still in the job because no-one else suitable is currently available, rather than because the top brass think this is acceptable or likely to improve

doubt that's the case tho

too many ables in that post. should have mentioned Venables for good measure

They will improve.

Great manager, good players.

guess sheffield united's final position in the table. i'm saying 14.

Poch being the zoomer wenger is <chefs kiss jpg>
