Premier League 2023-24

VAR was grabbing all the headlines once again in last nights 3-2 win by Fulham against Wolves. Included were three penalties (2 for Fulham 1 for Wolves), all of which looked soft, especially when viewed in slow-mo and various angles. Although I haven’t seen the incident, apparently the Fulham player Carlos Vinicius was fortunate not to be given a red card for a head-butt.

Following on from the farcical VAR penalty given against Newcastle today...

In the prem, the most hard done by team so far has been wolves. By a long stretch. Obvious decisions, with the hindsight of VAR, have gone against them. Just ridiculous decisions against them.

Spurs had a ridiculous decision go against us at the weekend. A blatant elbow on Bryan Gil for a penalty, and possible red card, but because VAR was out of action due to a technical fault, the referees 'missed decision' stood. No crying, no tantrums, no 'need a rematch' it is what it is.

But with VAR and slow mo it brings in the 'how can you miss/change that!' when they get the decision utterly wrong.

Scrap var. Let the refs call stand aside from dangerous play, ball over the line etc

This must go down as close to a record - we’re almost into December and no manager has been sacked - come’n Chairman, get your fingers out!!

Quite, especially if you get a reaction like Emery has got!

Gutting. And it was going oh so well. February we should be back to full strength again, still chance for a top four push I guess.

United only lost by a goal yesterday but that's up there as one of the worst performances by a team I've seen this season. No intensity at all. Players at a jogging pace for a lackluster press. Maguire looked like the only one who could be bothered. Awful.

Today's game, a draw would be a much-needed boost for Spurs at City. 3 losses on the trot, first eleven decimated. Not seeing our preferred starting 11 again until February. A win be great but, a point, I'd be chuffed!

Only crap game we've played so far was at wolves. One game. Fingers crossed there aren't many more.

A draw would be a fantastic result bearing in mind the team you’ll be putting out - if they play 100% you’ve got a chance, if they play like Utd did yesterday, well it doesn’t bear thinking about!!

You know, you see this up and down performance from most teams, and you see the schedules that get longer, matches closer together, and I read yet another tournament to be inserted.

Yes, these guys are overpaid, but they are not bionic.

Newcastle were excellent to be fair. Completely dominated throughout the whole 90. Don't forget, they're also a team decimated by injuries. But...

Thumped Chelsea, minutes away from a win at PSG midweek, then battered United. Incredible what Eddie Howe's doing.

Chelsea cruising. Could this be a rare Stamford Bridge win for the home fans.

I may have jinxed that there, caller. Sorry about that then mate.

Another away win for Everton last night

To put in perspective, if Prem league table was away only then Everton would be tied 2nd just 1 point behind Spurs

But could still easily go down

Great entertainment. Disappointed we didn't go in at half-time ahead. Think we just edged it that half.
