The Footie Thread

I think the funniest outcome would be if both teams lose, or City lose but Arsenal only manage a draw.

Folk talk about an exciting finish. Apart from the QPR game folk seem to forget City had to come from
Behind v Villa To win the title. I was present at a rather squeaky bum game v West Ham of all teams when we won the title

Funny enough, the excuses/reasons for both sound pretty similar, trying to keep up with the other people who had been doping for years under a less regulated system.

Can't wait to watch Pep's interview with Oprah

I can just feel there will be another twist in the title, although I'm sure it is just hope for a bit of drama.

West Ham get a draw or win in Moyes' last game, with the their all time Premier league scoring great Antonio getting a MOTM performance.

Then, Arsenal beat Everton to win the title. Or, how even more gut wrenching would it be for Arsenal, if they couldn't beat Everton when City open the door?

The most boring outcome will be if City are 3 nil up after 20 minutes.

I wouldn’t underestimate Everton they are playing quite well atm.

Surely that would be a good double celebration!????????

Come on now, pretty much since the season began, we've all been bashing Man Utd for their performances. Had they hosted an end of season awards, then I can see even more criticism and mocking of the club. It would almost feel like the people in charge of the Post Office announcing they are having an annual awards dinner.

I don't think cancelling the end of season awards is uncommon, it has been done before. Besides, it was BEFORE the Mens FA Cup final, so that wouldn't be part of any celebration even if they did surprisingly win it. The Club felt the dinner would be a distraction. And, lets be honest, I can imagine it would be. Especially when most of the awards would be some type of wooden spoon, or other players asking "how did he win that, he's been garbage"

Slowest CB ?
Cassimero he’d walk it

Get it in the bin. It's ruined the game. Put in two extra liners and clarify the stupid offside rule. Attacking persons body level, then onside. Also no offside past the 18 yard line when attacking with the ball

Other countries seem to be able to use VAR correctly. I’m not against the use of it per se, but I am against the inept way in which the PL seem to do things.

That’s the main issue - it works fine everywhere else but somehow PGMOL have made a right mess of it, I don’t think they will get 14 votes to get rid of it but it should make them open their eyes a bit

The man in charge is awful , and a good number of the refs are awful

Apparently the number of correct decisions this season has risen from 82%, last season pre VAR to 96% this season. VAR might not be working well but it is helping to get more decisions correct. They just need to smooth the process more imo.

On a positive re Utd. Looks like the roof is fixed.

Make that 95 % that’s a penalty for Newcastle.!

96% I find that hard to belive. Who decides they got them correct?
How many decisions is that over ?
They still get to many big ones wrong.

Have you picked the next manager to complain about once Klopps gone

Think a lot of calls will be the ones that fit in the “no clear and obvious” error and ones where it’s down to interpretation

But getting 4% wrong only ?

Wonder which decisions they are

No idea how they didn’t give that as a penalty

Not read the last 20 pages but only just seen this.

VAR: Premier League clubs to vote on whether to scrap video assistant referees

Premier League clubs will vote on whether to scrap video assistant referees (VAR) from next season at their annual general meeting next month.

Presumably it goes off the group that look at decisions a few days after and take their judgement? If you look at how many decisions are made each game, most will be right. We generally do only end up talking about one issue in a game, it's rarely more than that.

They do get some big ones wrong still, decisions also take way too long. I do think they gave got better at not micro managing games any more. That got better through the season.
