Antony doing that useless circle spin move in his announcement video, Betis fans must be sick to their stomach.

 

Pretty much this. But we know Oliver is a biased piece of shit. What worries me more is that the VAR official didn’t want to overturn it.

What’s the point in even having them if they won’t even spend 10 seconds checking what the BBC are saying is “one of the worst calls of all time”, and the Mail are calling “an immediate entry i to the refereeing hall of shame.”

Referees are time and again making dogshit calls and being protected by incompetent VAR officials, Howard Webb, and the cowardly Sky pundits. It feels like they are refereeing to generate controversy and drama.

 

Palace vs Brentford has been so, so bad.

 

This team isn’t beating anyone

Glad we still haven’t signed anyone in the middle of the worst injury crisis I can remember

 

Spurs

 

depressing to wake up and have a bad feeling about Manchester United playing at Craven Cottage

 

You can talk about the injury crisis, but this Spurs team is still MILES better than the Leicester one. It just isn’t an excuse for this game imo.

 

I mean we’re missing an entire starting XI. Players are exhausted, we’re in more competitions still than anyone besides Liverpool.

 

Like sure. I get it. It’s easy to sack another manager and keep that train going and hope someone comes in with a magic fix. But that just gives Levy yet another pass. I dunno. The only manager I’d want would be Iraola but he isn’t coming to this trainwreck.

 

the shithousery is off the charts. It’s amusing. but a card is overdue.

 

The amount of time wasting Leicester does is truly impressive. Embarrassing.

 

Leicester should bring on a new goalkeeper to time waste even more lol

 

This angle of the Lewis-Skelly challenge doesn't concrete say its a red for me but I can understand why VAR haven't got involved seeing this because they slow everything down and work on still images. I think its borderline and can go either way. It meets the bar of red for being above ankle and is considered dangerous. I'd be surprised if it gets overturned.

I am very surprised Michael Oliver got this right on the pitch but he is very close to it. Why didn't Lewis-Skelly just pull him back if he's looking to make that sort of 'professional foul'.

 

Reading the room, it's clear to me where most Spurs fans think the issue lies.

 

Whatever. Team is depressing to watch. Shouldn’t even bother anymore. Truly dreadful.

nothing will change. Levy will fire Ange. We sign nobody or another 18 year old who isn’t ready. Rinse. Repeat. Nothing ever changes with this club.

 

This is so good

 

Leicester laying on the pitch for 20 mins. 7 mins added.

 

On paper, sure. But these guys have been playing insane minutes and/or just returning from injury. The team is broken.

 

Yeah, makes complete sense. Tbh I forgot you were playing EL midweek.

Same issue we’re having really, when you only have like 13 players to choose from, it’s impossible for them to play at their best.

 

Maddison missed today literally for fatigue lol we’re a disaster

 

The team is clearly broken and continuing to worsen and the higher ups do nothing. I don’t get it.

 

Of course

 

The person with the highest FPL score this game week had Dengo Ouattara triple captained, that’s like putting a thousand dollars down on Leicester to win the title at the beginning of the 15/16 season.

 

When you consider Forest's defensive record so far this season, nobody would have even thought about a Quattara hat-trick. Credit to the guy for thinking outside the box!

 

Surely that team is run by Dengo Ouattara, right?
