So basically any decision against Liverpool needs to be referred

3 VAR decisions - 1 goal disallowed, 1 penalty awarded, 1 goal given.......all took several minutes to sort out....although the decisions were probably right, its like our refs have now lost their confidence in awarding anything

I don't think there's anything wrong with using VAR in the future, but now it seems the system isn't perfect and the refs don't know how to integrate it into their game yet, they look like an elderly person using a computer for the first time when using it. I think it'll get better but for now we have to deal with some beta sh*t.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Fordstam is just used to make Chelsea debt free, it's Chelsea FC's parent company so any money coming from Roman is capital rather than revenue.

Man City are disguising owner invested capital as revenue so they can have much more income than they should get and complying with FFP along the way, for it to be the same Roman would have us sponsored by Gazprom (don't know if he owns it but as an example) and give us much more money than we're worth in order to buy players.

 

Exactly right.....saved me the time. They are cheating.....and cheating big time.....with absolute zero accountability. Why do you think they can generate so much revenue, its f**king cheating. They have the fourth highest revenue and worth.......all thanks to the good people running footy.

I think they should take the 'A' out of VAR.   It doesn't assist the ref....it tells the ref he's missed something.  As I said earlier I can understand its use if the ref or assistant ref is not sure of something...not the fact that they missed seeing the incident in the first place.    And the other thing nonsense about this is new...errr did anyone get any training and beta testing so they can get it down pat and not take 3-4 minutes to decide something.

Exactly!

Willian's was even more of a penalty than Salah's.

I think this is the first time WBA have scored 3 goals isn't it?  

WBA have had the ball in Liverpool's net 5 times already ...

 

Question is would West Brom have been given that penalty as the away team at Anfield??

Well done to Newport today.

Surely today's FA Cup matches are putting things into perspective. We're not that crap after all, and all the top teams are struggling to keep up with the accumulation of matches just like us (except maybe Man City). We'll see what happens tomorrow, but I don't expect an easy win at SB. We need to rotate either tomorrow or for the PL match on Wednesday.

Foster unbelievable in the WB goal...can see the scum scouse going out...

 

f**k better edit this after Salah just got them back in it...

Oh God Liverpool fans shouting for a penalty every 30 secs...f**king laughable....still I'm sure we'll have another VAR in favour of them before the end

Knew that was coming WB sitting far too deep....a couple of bent VAR's for Liverpool should do the trick

FA Cup classic that.

VAR is terrible, it’s not even the idea behind it now it’s the execution. It’s like amateur hour, seriously pathetic.

Glad the scum are out, problem is they will be playing less games now.  Guess we better sign Jay Rodriques now instead of Rondon..

Rodrigues is horse sh*t.

Hahahahhahahahahahhana...klopp the fraud strikes agains...bar some farcical repeat of jammy 05, that's another season without a trophy...oh and £75m for van dijk? you're having a laugh!

I’m watching Gary Neville’s Soccer Box, anyone watched these episodes? They’re really interesting.

Damn, seem's like i missed a hell of a game. Glad Liverpool are out though, the only downside is fewer games for them which will probably guarantee them top 4......i think they will get top 4 either way to be honest.

I reckon they will get through in the Champions league and thats 2 more midweek games.

Watched FA highlights:

Leicester -

• Iheanacho looked very good today all be it against lower opposition, different types of goals.
• Diabate - one for the future - looks very bright indeed, reckon Leicester have superb scouts.

 

 

Genuine question. Does anyone know the last time we lost by more than 3 goals? I don't remember in the Abramovich era taking an absolute battering.

Last time I can recall was it 5-1 against Spurs in the 2002 League Cup.

Our rivals, however have many large defeats in recent years. Arsenal in particular.

Not sure if it was the last time we lost by more than 3 but if memory serves we were battered 5-1 by Liverpool away. I think it may have been the 96/97 season.
