Is it bad that I barely feel like I can celebrate that?

Feel like a terrible fan, but it feels like it's just keeping Poch on life support and delaying a necessary decision.

I have BT on and the idiots are in disarray. They've just seen Watford kick off from the centre circle and they can't figure out if it's a goal or not. It's not difficult chaps.

Yeah and the commentator saying "word is finally getting round the crowd that it is a goal" as if they didn't just have a fecking kick off :lol:

Remember when pundits were saying VAR would remove all the 'controversy' and 'talking points'

Can't wait our game with Spurs. Alli vs James. Both go down like they are shot with shotgun

VAR should just be binned in the Premier League. Watford should have a penalty today, Burnley's goal was fine too. It's just continued to screw over teams. We have been denied 3 clear pens that could see us have 7 more points. City have been screwed out of at least 2 points. If it had been implemented properly then the League table could actually look very different right now. Doesn't matter what team's form deserve, correct decisions means correct decisions.

Chelsea despite a bad start to the season, have moved up to third. Fair play to Lampard. Playing some really good stuff.
It helps that United, Spurs and Arsenal have been pretty shit. But fair play to them, they look most likely to get top 4 at the moment.

VAR disallows goals if you've got the tip of your bootlace in an offside position, but for a goal to be disallowed for handball he would have had to have punched it in.

How can it be so ridiculously precise for one rule, but be much more relaxed for others?


Watford only have themselves to blame though. They had chances, but didn't commit and looked happy with 0-1. Doesn't help that Janmaat's weak foot might as well be a hologram. He couldn't kick a balloon with it.
