Other games for weekend 30 October - 2 November
I would guess that Hamstew is far from upset after the Friday night game

4 - 1 to Southampton
This is a mad league
Looks like Wilson jumped in front of him and dived.
It really is time that the authorities do something about simulation in the penalty area.
The problem is that referees are being too easily conned by the cheats. Instead of using the visual aids that are available to them (i.e their own eyes and VAR), they're allowing themselves to be influenced by all the playacting.
Contrast that with the clear foul on Antonio vs Citeh, but because he didn't overreact nothing was awarded.
The problem as I see it is that players HAVE TO go down, because a ref never gives a penalty for someone staying on their feet
Antonio vs Citeh:
1. Antonio gets wiped out - check
2. Only the 'keeper to beat - check
3. VAR shows contact - check
4. West Ham not one of the "big 6" - check
5. VAR decides not enough to justify penalty - check
