Premier League Gameweek 4-6

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Scandalous refereeing at Stamford Bridge. Sure these referees have to be held to account somehow? That was beyond bad.
Feels like a huge loss for Forest. Need to beat Leeds next week surely. Bournemouth being on 7 points is probably the best they could ask for considering who they've played so far.
Was it like last season that De Gea laid on the ground and Arsenal went on to score after that into an empty net? And that goal was actually given
Moyes rightfully pissed off. Ref should be sacked.
Down to 8th
Dreadful game for 70 minutes but pretty entertaining in the end.
If Kepa can't get a game after that he may as well give up.

Gwan moysie, do a klopp on the ref
TBF, that was his own player though

Edit: No that's VvD. I don't know

Dodgy decisions in favor for Chelsea and fortunate bounces for them as well, to scrap out a win.
Fabianski doing who knows what for the first goal and Cornet being twice denied by the post them VAR.

Yip, hit in the ribs or something wasn’t he?
Moyes should have twat the referee and the ones in the var room
My bad. I forgot you had DCL. Your attack looks horrible though.
Damn all our top 4 rivals winning today.
pre-2000s: Football players fly in with studs first and a knife to the back, shrug it off
2022: Any contact is MASSIVE MASSIVE PAIN.

Never, ever in doubt. In total control.
Mendy has been a real problem. What if they hadn’t pulled that back? It wasn’t an immediate tap in, he could’ve got up to try and regroup. If your a goalie and you roll around on the ground while a player gets possession of the ball in your box… you better have cracked ribs or something… which he obviously doesn’t.
Starting to think the KepaIN people might be right.
feel a little bad for West Ham, although their goal scorer should have been off for his head lock* on Silva, so not bad enough to turn down the points.

Very good performance from Spurs today and should have scored about four
But you didn't
Incredible insight there
It's crazy, that you can score a completely legal goal in football and then refs can just decide it on their own, if it counts or not.
VAR was supposed to fix this shit but instead it's become worse. What the feck is going on with this league?
Never, ever in doubt. In total control.
Was really hoping you’d draw at most… as a rival for top 4.
Shocking VAR (person) decision though?
Just saw the disallowed goal, what in the fecking hell is this...I thought this year some more contact was allowed? Refs still inconsistent as feck.
I gotta be honest. I watched the game in a packed place. Haven’t yet seen proper replays back.

I'm just winding you up.
I think that’s the biggest issue. Consistency.
I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to achieve amongst a professional body which meets regularly to discuss these things.
The only thing they are actually consistent at is being inconsistent. Quite impressive in that respect.
If, to the letter of the law, that is a "foul" on Mendy by Bowen, then the rules are fecking stupid and need to be changed. Bowen hasn't impeded him in the slightest.
difference is De Gea was "fouled" by his own team mate.
Why did you think that?
Jumps him, the top of his boot makes some contact (ouch, leather and laces! Must have been really painful Mendy?).
That’s not a foul, that’s just contact.

Hasn’t the directive this season to be let more go in terms of contact?
The general observation of the first several match days .
Not to my knowledge.
If you're looking for consistency from Premier League refs, you are asking to be let down.
The referees are awful. VAR is a tool, it is not a self conscious entity. If VAR is being used by terrible referees, then terrible decisions will be made. The PL refs have been the worst around for a long time.
Mendy should've been booked for theatrics
Sorry for source, first one that came up, but refs were told to allow more contact/minor collisions/50 50s.

Well if @duffer doesn't know it , it can't possibly be true.
