Leeds United have now equalled the all-time FA Cup record for consecutive ties being drawn away from home (12), level with Aston Villa between 1977 and 1983 and Brighton between 1993 and 2000.

I got most the references but this is highly amusing.

And thats ignoring the decisions VAR has got wrong that don't directly lead to results changing. How Liverpool didn't lose Fabinho and Konate to red cards I will never know.

5 of the 6 VAR decisions that went in our favour were for wrong offside decisions :/ And ignoring wrong VAR calls works both way's fez.

LiVARpool confirmed look at that Brighton game as a prime example

VAR the gift that keeps on giving, I remember how they touted it as taking the controversy out of refereeing decisions and how we would no longer spend the week talking about shoddy decisions….how is football with its bottomless pit of money the only sport to use video referees/technology and actually be worse as both a spectacle and for bad decisions than it was before?

In honour of Harry Kanes recent achievements I will leave this classic number here.

If Man City were to be stripped of their titles:
Man United and Liverpool would get 3 titles each.
Stoke and Watford would be FA Cup winners.
Arsenal, Villa, Chelsea, Sunderland and Liverpool would be League Cup winners.
But Spurs still wouldn't win anything.

Todd Boehly goes pc part shopping:

Intel Mobo (supports DDR4 and Nvida Gpus only)
AMD Ryzen 7950x
AMD AM4 CPU heatsink (something expensive)
AMD Radeon 7900xt GPU
4k Monitor that supports only Nvidia GPUs and Gsync
32Gb DDR5 ram

Graham's job is to assemble the pc and get it to boot or get replaced by somebody that can.

Lol at the suggestion of changing the N to an M

Oh yeah I can hear it now from your post. I really could not make out what he said. I blame my old age. Cheers.

Was that the season where Liverpool lost 7-2 to Aston Villa?
