There's no way you can conclusively say that hit his arm. VAR's taking the **** again.

edit: The VAR? Was John Moss! He can't keep up with play when he's sat in the studio.

Just the 37 fouls in the Villa - Palace game :o

No real surprise when you consider Grealish and Zaha were playing. They average more fouls per 90 minutes combined (7.9) than the entire Liverpool (7.5), Sheffield Utd (7.6) and Man City (7.7) sides as a whole.

Lockdown and Covid19 has been terrible but the shining light of 2020 has to be Arsenal Fan TV watch along that has come out of it. Don Robbie will be getting that mansion in no time and a Bafta for best documentary.

The best thing is it looks like they're watching it on a dodgy stream and are a few minutes behind. A few of the people are checking the score on their phone and Robbie's constantly having to tell them to put their phones away :D

I highly doubt Robbie has no sky for the lockdown games. Mans got plenty of dough now.

I assumed so too but they're clearly a couple of minutes behind and it's not just a delay in their youtube stream as the likes of DT and Troopz are checking for updates on their phone as they're watching. Watch the reaction to Spurs winner - Robbie has to tell Troopz off because he knew the goal was scored before they saw it.
 
Solanke's 1st goal for Bournemouth? The best thing is he's only the 3rd worst signing they've made from us. £15m for Ibe and £6m for Smith make him look a bargain.
 
Southampton are the weirdest side in PL history. They're as likely to win tonight as they are to lose 5-0. Despite winning all 4 games, in the last 2 seasons our 4 games vs Southampton have all been some of our hardest games.

They're a side that's much better than the sum of their parts but the problem is a lot of those parts are quite bad and are capable of making individual errors that **** them over.
 
Southampton are probably a great experiment for Utd's midfield trio. Playing Fernandes and Pogba together is always going to leave you slightly exposed, coupled with the not so mobile Matic against a very high energy Southampton side is risky.

As suspects go, I’d say you’re pretty high up on the list

It was me to be fair :p
 
VAR has basically become a lucky dip. You see the Palace goal ruled out yesterday that, at best, was 50-50 and then you get clearly wrong decisions and VAR sits on its hands.

I'm generally for VAR (or something like it) but as it stands it's just implemented all wrong. It needs to go and come back when things are sorted out.

VAR for subjective decisions was always going to be a mess. You were not only going to end up with inconsistent decisions but there was always going to be decisions like today and the Fernandes pen vs Villa that were so clearly wrong but not get overturned leaving supporters bemused as to what's going on.

VAR's not going anywhere, we can just only hope that, like they did with cricket, this clear and obvious thing disappears and they just let the VAR make the correct decisiosn. Using technology and still giving the incorrect decision is just stupid.

They have to give 1 decision against you per season or else you'll have nothing to cry about stiggy.
