Looking very much like Dean Smith to Leicester, at least until the end of the season. I’d be rather underwhelmed if I was a Foxes fan.

A tiny bit of p-taking by the ballboy, but no way was the push justified (Ref should simply stop his watch for a second or so as an occasional occurence that needs stamping out)! More than a talking-to was justified

Ballboys shouldnt be taking the P. There's too much at stake for some of these clubs for spotty little boys getting involved.

They're there to collect the ball and pass it to the player.

Children should be seen and not heard.

Try doing that outside a football stadium and the Police will be knocking on your door.

I didnt think it was a bad penalty, 6" to the right its a perfect one. Fine margins.

Spare a thought for poor old Brighton and how VAR blatantly stole 3pts off them.
Just aa couple of minor corrections - A blunder in VAR stole a penalty from them! The VAR system worked perfectly and who can tell what would have happened if the penalty had been awarded!

With the talk of maybe 9 teams being involved in relegation battle at the moment - from 11th down

If there as chance that Chelsea could be dragged into it ? 6 points above Palace but right now are poor , have brought in another failed manager ? Or have they just got enough now


Talking of Chelsea - is it going to be one of the biggest failures seen for a while ? Spending £600mil and yet only just getting into the top half of the table ? Trying to think of a bigger spend to failure to ratio

The disallowed Mitoma goal that was perfectly legal at 1-1, the foul in the box on Lewis Dunk that stopped him from making a challenge for the ball and Kane subsequently had a free header clearing.

Video Assistant Referee - in the simpliest of terms is a qualified professional PL standard Referee who uses video footage to analyse and assist the onfield referee .

The technology isnt VAR.

The Victorians called and want their opinions back 🤣.

So it’s ok for an adult to assault a child because they were a bit slow giving the ball back?

No way Dhelsea is in that battle - in spite of their poor form! Whichever club of those currently would have to get at least 12, more likely 13), more points than Chelsea in the 8 games left AND those from 12 to 17 make equivalent progress! Not going to happen! CP almost certainly safe too, so it's Wolves (probably safe) down that are in the 'battle'!
