Whatever happened to that sexual assault arrest/charge of Bissouma a couple of months ago? 

Bailed while investigation happens

[Paninistickers]

Brighton getting every VAR going this season

[reynard]

Clear penalty.

Hope they can stick another 3 or 4 past them. Any decent human being with any sort of moral conscience should want Newcastle relegated.

I want them relegated but for me that isn’t a Peno, clear dive after minimal contact 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Trossard scoring - will help the dream team 😂

Looked like a clear kick on his leg to me. Surprised it needed VAR. Maybe I need to look again.

Shouldn't be a penalty purely because Trossard takes an extra step then decides to go down

Referees are shite not seeing that extra step. 

 

Reminds me of what Mane did couple of season ago after Albrighton made contact and then went down after another step.

Whilst there is contact, trossard has control of his leg but chooses not to use it. DIVE.

Its ridiculous because refs have made the fact that players have to go down in the box to even consider getting a penalty, player believes he has been impeded but has to go down to have it looked at 

[SAFC1]

Go on Brighton. **** the murderers.

I've never associated West Bromwich with the word glamour.

I've been to Burnley. At least you can say West Brom has a Tesco. 

[Legend_in_blue]

We must have watched 6 or 7 replays of that incident before the referee is told to go to the screen.

 

The implementation of VAR is as incompetent as the people using it.

The pundits never commit to sticking the boot into Solskjaer. It’s alway the players fault, every single time. The situations they find themselves in are contingent on the coaching and the game plan. “There’s no intensity wah wah wah” you’ve seen the same thing for 2 years, maybe it’s not the players?

 

A failed Cardiff manager and moderately successful spell at Molde ≠ the credentials to manage one of the biggest clubs in the world. 

Neville's argument that Conte wouldn't have been a good fit because other big names like Van Gaal and Mourinho weren't and Solskjaer should be the man is laughable. Both of those won trophies unlike Solskjaer, Mourinho finished second as Solskjaer did, all spent absolute fortunes. What exactly is he doing that previous managers didn't?

 

They are still living in the Ferguson era in that ,because he was given time, certain others should be and it will work out fine.

I'm kinda pleased for palace...it was a bold and brave move to change styles. 

 

He's doing well. But I'm not entirely convinced. I think after half a season, PL coaches will work out how to beat their press and identify where they are weak. 

That might well be the case, but hope he gets praise for the job he’s done so far. 
 

It’s arguably much more impressive than the likes of Tuchel, Klopp and Guardiola who should be in the top 4 given their budgets (obvious exception is Solskjaer at Man U who is underperforming a lot).

A joke really, I honestly believe no other PL team would appoint Solskjaer… the guy has nothing on his CV other than not making any improvement to Man U since he arrived and a relegation with Cardiff. Any comparison with Ferguson is laughable, Fergie achieved great things with Aberdeen before he arrived

Let him get to 20 losses in a row, then sack him after a win against potential relegation rivals.

 

Makes sense.

wtf how is Wilson not booked then for a dive if that's not a foul!?

[StanSP]

Sanchez clips him and should be off. Surely VAR can get this right...
