Premier League 2024/25

Off to an absolute humdinger at Old Trafford……..

I'd forgot that the PL is shit.

 

[Orifice]

We are not bottom of The Prem!
Rejoice ! !

Why is the table on this site not up to date @Jeff?

 

[pork pie fox]

Away working at an event so had the pleasure of watching this game. What a shit show, for the best league in the world TM.

Thanks.

I think that there are realistically only five clubs we can aspire to finish above. It has been a good start in our quest to wish them all nothing but failure:

Ipswich - lost at home
Southampton - lost
Brentford - TBC
Forest - drew at home to Bournemouth
Everton - lost at home

Everton lost 3-0 at home to Brighton We might be shit this season but we know we’ll have them for company. It’s comforting that some things never change

The size of our own challenge this year is perhaps measured by West Ham’s bench this evening - most of whom would walk into our first team

Fabianski
Cresswell
Wan Bissaka
Ward-Prowse
Summerville
Ings
Fullkrug

I can definitely see a deadline day 'swoop' for Ings.

Southampton - lost

With the type of goal that's just far too much part of the game nowadays.

First VAR **** up I’ve seen this far. West Gam awarded a penalty for a foul.

Villa player touched the ball but momentum meant both players fell over.

Referee awards a penalty. VAR look at it and claim Villa player didn’t make a meaningful attempt to play the ball.

How the **** can that be so if he played the ****ing ball?

Yep

An absolutely ludicrous decision - above all things, that was a definite clear and obvious error

So apparently this season they aren’t going to overturn any decision that is marginal. So it sort of begs the question, what is the point of VAR?

What is the point in offside?

****ing stupid, watch the bias unfold in favour of the usual clubs again then the commentators fall over themselves to justify it.

I don’t mind that, to be honest - let the referee get on with it

But for this one there is no way that the ref could have seen the touch on the ball, or that it was then just a tangle of legs. Just give the ref the chance to look at that bit again and then he can make a more informed decision - he can still stick with a pen if he wants.

That’s what VAR is for - to help the ref, not make decisions for them

Hopeless

Would suggest a VAR thread is created, rather than lumping this in with a wide ranging PL 24/25 topic ?

Are you unable to start a thread?

VAR is already being discussed in this thread. If it starts to dominate the thread the VAR stuff can be split into a separate thread.

That's rich! There's probably a quadrillion suggestions from the talking balls community about how the foxes trust could be more useful (or more accurately less useless) which fall on deaf ears so making suggestions on here is kind of offensive.
