Wow Chillwell incredible

 

I'd meant to take Toney out of my FPL this week but went out last night and was hungover this morning so missed the deadline. Not complaining now like

 

How did Bamford not score there

 

wow an early kane sub with a game mostly in control

that’s nice to see

son richarlison kulu should be interesting

 

Leeds keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Don’t really think an offside player should be allowed to touch the ball after a defender in general, but it is the rule.

 

Insane that Reece James didn’t get sent off. What is the actual point of even using VAR in England if they’re just going to ignore stuff like that.

 

Mitrovic good

 

Havertz finally!!!

 

Mendy having a mare

 

Whew tgod disallowed

 

Why didn't Robertson start? Is he injured?

 

Bournemouth 3-2 from 2-0 down. Devastating for Notts Forest.

 

So VAR is only to help bigger clubs, right. West Ham have been well and truly robbed.

 

It’s been bad in every game I’ve watched this season. It’s almost like the refs are sabotaging it.

 

Been like that since they introduced it. It’s pure utter incompetence. The Forest penalty, while not the worst decision of the day shows how much of a farce the refs are making it.

 

Chelsea were due for a bad VAR decision in their favor

 

Var absolutely sucks.

I’m sorry but that West Ham goal should have stood, and if you’re having to decide if things are offside by using imaginary lines because it’s so close, then that should be a goal with advantage given.

Use it properly or just bin it off ‘cause this is terrible week after week. Alongside that, we need to improve the standard of referees in this country quickly.

 

VAR's a joy killer and for minimal benefit. And I include Everton's goal against us today.

People can say it's down to bad officiating of it but you are always going to have subjective decisions made more or less randomly, and miniscule offsides and handballs given against the spirit of the game. I've accepted VAR's probably not going away but I still think it's been a farcical addition.

 

I’m for doing away with review in all sports, it’s ruining basketball particularly

 

Tuchel just said it was a foul I mean, what else is he going to say? But still...

 

Reviews work most sports, VAR was fine at the World Cup and Euros, just sucks in the Premier League it seems.

 

this haaland dude hasn’t even scored ONE goal after a half hour

not impressed

 

I've gone from thinking, "how did Villa beat us?", to thinking, "yeah, that's about right", in the space of a week. The Premier League is really delivering so far this season.

 

Enjoying that this season it really does feel really unpredictable. Bournemouth sacking their manager and winning against a team who spent £200m. Everton getting a result against a Liverpool team who a week ago won 9-0. villa looking terrible vs us but then impressing in this first half.

If this carries on it could be an all time great season.
