Helped relegate Blackpool and Huddersfield anyway

Surely a team that signed Hudlindinho can't be going down?

Just goes to show that having a 25 goal striker doesn't guarantee you success...

Man United completely bypassing Everton’s midfield and getting in time and time again but some great keeping and last ditch tackles have kept Everton in it so far!

Although Simms really should have scored for them as well.

Leicester in real trouble now. One down to Bournemouth

Unai Emery done a great job at villa

 

[Evo1883]

And Leicester are coming to the CBS next season by the looks of it

 

[fernandopartridge]

Forest look like they're coming back down as well, Cooper is beyond reproach for their fans but he's really not done a good job this season, blessed with resource most promoted teams can only dream of.

Would probably have been better buying 5 or 6 top players rather than 2,300 average ones

This makes me a lot happier than it probably should.

Yup. The amount of players they have shipped in has been insane.

To be fair I’m not convinced he sanctioned all of them. Seems more like the owner messing around with it Chelsea style

Just noticed they're 6th. When did that happen?! Has there been a glut of point deductions?!

 

[David O'Day]

Ref and VAR in the Spurs game have been shocking

Villa be back to the o leary days

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Anthony Gordon subbed off after being brought on earlier, ranted at Howe on his way off

Bellend isn't he

What a complete waste of money from Newcastle. And the crazy thing is Chelsea offered even more…

 

[clint van damme]

Villa be back to the o leary days

Lucky villa!

Good start for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea .

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Credit to Walker-Peters telling his own teammates he fouled De Bruyne and to leave the ref alone

30 Premier league goals for Haaland, needs 5 more to break the record of most league goals in a single premier league season.

Not sure I agree, there's no way any football manager would make 20+ transfers in a season. That strikes an owner that has got involved

If it was left to Cooper and they're in the position they are now then yes he should rightly be saved, but he's not fully to blame

I thought the experts on here said teams would ‘low block’ him out of the goals.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Watching motd, not sure I really want to watch PL football. VAR really is an utter nonsense.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Whoever the ref and VAR official were for that Brighton game should have their contracts terminated immediately.

Not exactly a queue of top candidates to replace them though is there?

Your point is true enough.

Anyway, the worst they'll get is likely a demotion for a week or two. And Brighton get a nice apology from Howard Webb. And then next week, it'll happen to someone else because nothing's changed, and something obviously needs to.

Why does something need to change? Does a referee’s mistake ruin the game any more than a player’s mistake?

I was on him to be booked at 7/2.

No but a player has one chance to get it right the var people have numerous chances to get it right, rarely does the error seem to benefit the smaller clubs

So just get rid of VAR - it’s so obviously not fit for purpose, but TV rights holders and armchair fans clearly adore it. Fans bleating like babies about refereeing decisions going against them have ruined the whole thing.

Or just get the users to use it correctly, maybe they need to change it so they can only see the action not which colour shirt they are wearing.

Use it professionally, thoroughly or not at all and scrap the lot.
