@yoladu is having himself a great Boxing Day. 

Indeed. I feel a lot better now than I did 6 weeks ago. 4 wins in 6 matches will do that to ya. 
 

14th place on 21 points at the halfway point. I will take it.

What a strange December for Chelsea. Beat Villa and Tottenham. Lose to 3 bottom half teams. Yet still in 4th and have disappointing Arsenal on Sunday. 

Mourinho rolled out a Dier/Sissoko midfield pairing against Chelsea that couldn't pass their way out of a paper bag. Chelsea rightfully pressed high and kicked our ass. Spurs looked poor against Brighton today until they took out Winks for Eriksen.

13 clear with a game in hand. That will go down to 11 with a City game tomorrow, but damn what a domination.

Unreal what they are doing this year.  As a fan of sports it’s awesome to see a team perform at this level.

It really is so fun to watch. And you are correct when all the players are bought in and know their roll there is nothing better than watching a team run their system to perfection or as close to it as you can get.

This encroachment rule is fucking abysmal. If both teams have 3 guys each early in the box how do you punish the defending team?

Saved penalties should just be a goal kick with these rules. Eliminates anyone running into the box. 

the thing is it doesn't matter how early you cheat in to the box if there is no rebound.  no fucking common sense at all.

this has been a wild game.  wolves are just as much a threat to grab 4th as city are to catch pool.  both need 3 every match for months.

Traore has been world class tonight. 

i'd love to see him beat the shit out of alleged tough guy Kyle Walker.

How did the rest of your morning go?


Predictably.

No way Liverpool doesn’t win it all now. Impossible for them to screw it up with this lead.

That was a great goal by Mooy. I see Bournemouth going down. They have no attacking firepower and a ton of injuries. 

We'll see how the other games play out but after the horrible start my everton top 6 prediction might work out...5 pts back but wolves, Sheffield and manu still have to play the 20th game

 

Make that 4pts if spurs dont equalize/win now

 

 

Atkinson would never do this. It'd take about 20 mins to discuss all the shit calls he makes during a match.

Wow. What a weird series ending with an own goal by Aurier.

Burnley are garbage. I don’t like united but can’t stand for the type of football Burnley play. 

Arsenal get away with a blatant penalty.  Why do we have VAR again?

that escalated quickly

meanwhile Jorginho absolutely should have been sent off and instead he scores the equalizer. this referee has been fucking terrible. 

That Abraham look like he has a future in this league. 

First VAR check made sense. Disallowing the Wolves goal was ridiculous. This is like the out of bounds reviews in college basketball and the NBA.

That’s exactly how I feel about it. It’s just too much.

It's one thing when it's just blatantly a bad call or someone is obviously offsides and the linesman misses it. But fractions of a body being off is ridiculous. I agree with Robbie, the rule needs to be changed to a foot offside and not this fraction of an inch of skin. The EPL has to fix this with VAR. It's ridiculous that a brilliant series by the Wolves is disallowed on a minor technicality. 

Edited by mdmost

The aspect of VAR that I never see discussed is how do you determine when the ball contact is measured? There’s a window of time (however small) when the foot is in contact with the ball and then the ball leaves the foot. There’s some wiggle room there that could be the difference between off side or not.

taylor twellman has as much of a right to an opinion on anything prem as the entire sec has a right to an opinion on anything in college football.
