Chelsea are making so many good players look worse than they actually are.

What a day. A win for us. Chelsea losing vs Nottingham. And to finish it off, Brighton vs Newcastle. It could be worse. :)

Chelsea have played 3 home games, 1 away (4 points - only win against Luton)
Spurs have played 3 away games, 1 home - 10pts

Its not even a joke - we have so much more to give and home fixtures to come as well

Brighton vs Newcastle is looking like a pretty good game. Brighton's pass and move game is very impressive.

City goal stands after it the ball goes through Akanji's legs but VAR says he wasn't interfering with play.

Straight corruption.

The PL/PGMOLs absurdity in trying to find any reason for the var to not intervene on these types of decisions (and handball) continues to reach comical levels. This is offside in every other league and competition using VAR.

When you have a standard well different than everyone else in the world it creates even more problems.

Keep hearing Howard Webb claim he doesn't want VAR to re-referee incidents and only wants it to intervene for obvious errors but by drumming that into the VAR's they have gone to far in the direction of hardly ever intervening.

They will do everything possible to not overrule a ref and protect them. Even getting them to go to the screen is a way to protect the refs.

Meanwhile, fans only care about the right decision.

If it's a clear error in 99% of competitons the argument PGMOL makes of needing a high bar becomes the joke of professional football officiating.

Pope messed that up bigly for the goal. First a bad clearance, then a very poor rebound to give up

Here in the US just before the start of the game, commentator 'Brighton vs. Newcastle, the feel good game across the land' 😳

Brighton has been by far the better team but man, Isak & Tonali are so good. Isak should trust his finishing more and can be guilty of dribbling too much but so much athleticism from both of them combined with marvelous technique. Tonali would be unstoppable as an 8 in our system.
