I heard it earlier. It’s appalling and brings VAR into disrepute in my opinion. How can anyone now believe that they’re making decisions for the right reasons? Also, betting companies (if they aren’t already) might feel they can get to officials in the VAR room with copious amounts of cash.

I’ve banged this drum for years and got laughed at on here . It’s corrupt, it’s too easy to manipulate and its purpose is undermined by the people that run it . This is just one example but there will be dozens of these calls made and no sound bite and whitewashing by Howard Webb and Gary Neville will fix it .

Riley, Mason, Dean, Moss & Atkinson all catch it.
BTW, Taylor has two appointments this weekend: referee for B&HA v. WHUFC tomorrow & 4th official at Burnley v. AVFC on Sunday. Kerching!

Shudder to think what will happen when Luton come up against Haaland. They look appalling although we haven't seen them at home to be fair.

The way Spurs are playing is so much more dynamic and entertaining to watch than last season.
Maddison is a revelation
Might as well take Richarlison off and play with ten men
Spurs have played well today and could have had four or five. They look dangerous going forward. They should buy Toney this week.
Postecoglou didn't kiss a single Spurs player on the lips at full time. Terrible manager.
Wow United 2 down!

Says something for the Man U midfield when Rashford was the nearest ‘defender’ for the first goal.

Arsenal have been horrendous today. Havertz appalling. Saka pretty bad as well. Lucky to be 2-1 up.
If Arsenal hold onto this I expect the celebrations from Arteta and the team to last until Monday.
City must be p*ssing themselves, Arsenal have spent £200m to make themselves worse.
Gobsmacked that Everton vs Wolves would be 0-0.....
Arteta being a petulant fool as usual.
Three games in and the die is already cast .
United have already had two huge decisions go their way to keep them relevant . The Onana non penalty was bad enough but St Marcus’s dive for the penalty was equally as bad .
Ten Hag is already walking a tightrope . He’s out of his depth .
Brighton v West Ham is already a great contest .
What's going on? Spurs are exciting to watch, West Ham are countering at light speed like prime Atletico. Are we in football's Upside Down?

Perisic looked very tidy.
That’s it, the mighty Hammers will win the Premiership this season.
(Maybe)
Foden played a blinder in the central role last week.
This week he's not in the starting 11...
