ASLEF, I will laugh along with you IF Everton do end up above Tottenham if they are both in the bottom 3!
I like Everton simply cos they aren't Liverpool and I dislike Liverpool cos they dominated in the 70s/80s
I don’t want Everton relegated cos there are two Toffees down my local and they’re miserable enough already plus the Liverpool fans are smug enough without Everton going down
Personally would love Everton to go down, given how they've survived in recent seasons they deserve to take their turn, and that's even before the match fixing against Wimbledon to avoid relegation back in 1994.
Must admit, I'd like such cynical fouls to be red, but surely this is a shocker by the ref, and even more so by the VAR and assistant VAR. Under the current interpretations, I don't see that as a forceful foul, so there's little danger to the opponent. A nasty, snide, cynical foul, but never a red under current guidelines imo.
Red card overturned on appeal, rightly so imo despite it being an Arsenal player. How has the ref and the VAR got it so wrong?
I can only think that the issue is a position in which the VAR attempts to find in line with the ref if possible rather than view the call entirely objectively. This call was so clearly a yellow, it's one of those decisions which are becoming more common unfortunately in which 99.9% of all fans and pundits can see clearly what has happened but the guy who has been trained can't see it. I can accept a bad call from a ref but not the VAR.
The deliberate foul is one of the things I would love to take out the game but its hard to do as if you did red card for them there would be so many that were questionable and many games spoiled when called wrongly.
I am not a big fan of the sin bin idea but if it were introduced this would be my first use of the rule. ten minutes for a clear deliberate foul.
Happily rooting for Wolves today and they are one up against Villa, do not really expect Spurs to go down but I am really enjoying the thought of them looking over their shoulder

'30 points will keep us up. Three of Ipswich, Leicester and Wolves won’t get to 30 points.
But we have to beat Ipswich.'
This is the club that sacked Poch after he finished 5th 3rd 2nd & 3rd, plus a league cup and Champions league final.
We get stick for not continuing with Moyes but their delusion is far greater than ours.

Is nothing sacred?🤷🏻♂️
Or the alternative version "We hate those..." could have been first, sung by West Brom and Blackburn
Really beginning to hate Liverpool again, get away with a foul, go up the other end and get a penalty
