January 5Jan 5 You know what I wanna see penalties given for? Penalties. Guy head butts a man and takes him out. Penalty. Guy’s arm is m up and deflects a shot. Penalty. i don’t want the ref making decisions “oh is there intent, etc” it’s almost as dumb as the targeting call on Taaffe - it was facemask to facemask, a textbook tackle. But for some reason the natural running position of head forward is being factored into the decision that it was targeting.

January 15Jan 15 Not a conspiracy, but both the Rice and Trossard second yellows were crap and are never given. Oh well. Suck it spurs, they helped make a shitty week a little better.

January 16Jan 16 That VAR can’t fix obvious missed corner kicks in about 5 seconds is a fucking disgrace. The NFL has plenty of problems but I commend them on getting the eye in the sky to clean up about 99% of turnover decisions (and other close plays) in a very quick manner without slowing the game down.
January 16Jan 16 Yeah this should be an easy VAR implementation. Hopefully the EPL gets that fixed soon.

January 16Jan 16 Ball went out of bounds by about 3 feet before the Soton goalie cleared it. Ref didn’t give a corner. Come on VAR, fix the easy stuff.
January 17Jan 17 Good news! And the corresponding terrible news. The knock-on effect of Tomi being perma-injured since last year, Timber missing all of last season, and Calafiori being perma-injured this year. Ben White played through injury and needed surgery, and Gabi XL and Rolls Royce have had next to no rest. Edited January 17Jan 17 by Dutch
January 17Jan 17 What idiot didn’t realize he was in the EPL thread and not his club’s? Ignore, delete, & ban user.

January 18Jan 18 Holy shit this game completely switched. Let’s go, Villa! That last goal was *chef’s kiss*
