That should have been a penalty. When the ball has travelled that far at that speed the defender has no excuse for letting the ball hit his arm.

Just seen the Burnley score too, WTF ?

Especially since Wolves moved to 4 at the back they've been super shit, have no idea why they've moved from their back 5 which used to give most teams problems. It's why I really don't want Nuno, even when that back 5 wasn't working at times he never seemed to have anything to switch to and now that he finally has he can't get results out of it.

I get where you are coming from, but he's cleared the ball to keep in a way to keep it in play.

He hasn't looked at the man, eyes are down on the ball the entire man, which takes out the violent or on purpose piece. Then secondly he's gone in side footed to clear the ball to keep it in play, as if he went with his laces it's going out for a throw in. It's been way over analysed and slowed down, and if it was a decision against one of our players I'd be frustrated as well.

They need to look at the entire phase of play and the footballing outcome before making a decision like that. It's slowly becoming a non-contact sport and for me VAR and over analysing every play is contributing to that.

Look at the Wilson goal being ruled out against Liverpool, the ball was smashed against him from less than a yard away as well.
Not only that, it opens the door for the cheats to just run in on a player clearing the ball, looking for contact in order to get a player sent off.

It’s probably the most godawful call I’ve seen made this season. I was laughing in disbelief when he made it.

The Leeds-Utd game was so good that the ref decided to not play the minimum amount of the stated added time.

Leicester vs Palace tonight 8pm.
.
I can't be arsed to watch.
This game has "BBC live feed updates" written all over it for me. No way can I watch Leicester achieving the absolute bare minimum of what we should be aiming for at an absolute canter.

Don’t look at me. I’m irrelevant.

Leicester losing.

Got excited as it boosts our champions league prospects.

Then realised it’s not as if we’d ever capitalise anyway.

NOT FALLING FOR THAT ONE AGAIN

Our top four plans going nicely on schedule. Just hope agent Palace doesn’t screw it up.
