It's even more ridiculous than the one against Palace yesterday, it really is crazy (and how wasn't the one against Arsenal given?). Only plus is that it's against Spurs.
Clinton Morrison has said that VAR is ruining the game, but tbh I think VAR has mostly been very good so far this season and for the most part last season too, it’s just that the rules are really badly written

Completely agreed, you can't blame VAR for ensuring the rules are applied, it's the rules that are a nonsense.
I wonder why they changed the rules in the first place? You can still have VAR to check " ball to hand , not hand to ball" as it used to be. The new law is ridiculous IMO and it's making the game too sterile. I used to like the human element of mistakes being made.
While Id' agree that VAR has improved and the faults lie with the rules, I still HATE VAR.....IMO it spoils the fun of the game, I'd sooner be moaning about a dodgy offside call than to wait for a VAR check to see if a players fingernail is offside...
I'm not that old to be called old fashioned, but perhaps I'm getting there... VAR IMO has sucked all enjoyment out of the game... Celebrations are muted incase of an infringement, I use to like seeing the ref and assistants running back to the half way line knowing that wev'e scored, not waiting for a ref to get a message in his ear...

Sadly this is a FIFA thing not PL decision...will FIFA change it mid season? not sure....It's pathetic IMO
I get what you're saying Jay, but I'm all in favour of VAR; you'll never convince be that the bigger clubs haven't nearly always had the benefit of the doubt in way too many decisions for officiating to be fair. At least VAR eliminates the worst of the decisions that we've been on the wrong end of for years.
I'm not saying it's perfect, and there's still a human element (notice how they kept redrawing the moment the pass was played for Arsenal's first goal until he was onside?), but the more obvious errors are gradually being eliminated.
I don't think Pep is a fraud, what he did in those 2 years when they won the league was mesmerising
But at what point does everyone realise that his tactics have been exposed
Yes they will likely finish 2nd and blast a lot of teams 5-0, but that's because they have infinite funds and world class players
But at least 5/6 times this season nthey are going to be best by a team they shouldn't be losing too, because they are just confident with their counters and rip them apart
Shocked so many people think they are favourites for the league, they literally fall apart if they don't have a 2 goal advantage

Love seeing him sitting there with a face like a smacked rear end.
Never
Going down

All IMO of course.
