I dont have to go back and watch them.

Do you want to go through every decision in that season?

I agree with you that 999,999 times one decision wont majorly mean the difference between a league won or a relegation, but in a league season when 1 point decides it in a 98 vs 97 point season in a game when one side who wins it should have been down to 10 men, it did for me.

So I blame Robbo for us losing the league, have a word with yourself.

Why should I mention the VVD tackle - thats a cup game, different matter, its over a few games, not 38.

You come out with a statement, that is one of football's perennial cliches, and is correct 99.9% of the time, but not 100% of the time.

Why not Ped? Cos its easier to blame Kompany/ref to suit your argument?

You know i"m right. Those games we should've won.

But If it makes you feel better blame that kompany decision.

You wont blame Robbo but you'll blame the ref/Kompany? Really?

I know what i seen that season. It was Liverpools best seaon ever. By a country mile.

Theyre not beyond criticism though.

Should have had a pen today but I think the way he played today pope would have saved it

What a keeper

Some of those saves were breath taking

I’ve just watched Match of the Day with baited anticipation of those saves, only to feel flat. They were pretty ordinary and nothing spectacular !

Where's all the diving experts????

Well they are not in the VAR studio that’s a cert.

Maddison that’s a dive ,defenders planted his foot before Maddison takes off.

That was a Vardy-like manufactured "penalty"

The 3rd goal is a perfect example of why you can’t blame Benitez, Coleman trying to be clever and mess’s up.

Well played Palace, fully deserved.

Coleman wasn't trying to be clever, its 93+ minutes on the clock and you have a free kick on you own corner flag, he thinks I know what i'll do, wait a minute for everyone to get into position or just try and get the ball up the other end before the whistle blows, 2-1 or 3-1 makes no difference got to throw caution to the wind

Yes he’s been paying attention in training.
Interesting the two “ pundits” on motd totally disagreed on it.

He was imo, he’s near the corner flag, the attacker is 1 yard from him and again imo, he’s tried to rush the free kick, he wasn’t set and he miskicked it, all things he had control of, that would of took 10-20 seconds not a minute!
Maybe he should of shown that urgency at the beginning of the game.

A weekend dominated by terrible Peno decisions. But the forum fans will be happy because theyre all in favour of the big teams.

Id just like an unbias league to be honest. With refs that have a bit of training.....

I like Coleman ,but he can be feisty at times,sometimes too feisty.
I believe on this occasion he was trying to get the player booked,it went wrong for him and actually the player was so close he could have got injured or injured the player.

Match of the days editing is often awful

Prob edited a few of them out

It was a 0-0 draw they won't of shown much

First Spurs, now QPR v Sheff Utd is off tonight. This is just the start, think we are going to see a wave of games being called off over the next few weeks.

When watching the match at the time it looked like we got fortunate and Villa were unlucky with their shout

Watching MoTd later and both shouts were right - Mings caught Salah was clumsy and Alisson got a touch on the ball

Whats the thoughts of the ref from the villa fans on saturday?

Re the pen in our game, Mings knew he'd fouled him, it was as clear as day. Still not having the foul on Danny Ings. Alisson gets a hand to the ball. If he stays on his feet he scores imo.

Would you believe me if i told you we've had 2 pens at home in 12months?

Mings fouled! Not doubting that! And actually, our game played out fine in my eyes. Ings did have half a shout at a pen but Im not moaning about that. A great game by all accounts - im sure you enjoyed seeing your future managers football philosophy!


Calls in other games were shocking though gents... Peno United yet again....

What are you on about? I agreed with you?

We held you to one goal - not from open play - and had chances of our own... We would not have done that 3 weeks ago under Smith..
