Luton was 25/1 to beat Arsenal.
Thought that’s got to be worth £2 for a big upset.

Players are taught to get their bodies between the ball and the opponent. He was doing his job.

Hmmmm. Methinks there’s a reason they were 25/1
Where is this Phil Foden in an England shirt?

What we just saw from Foden there is something you would never see from Rashford or Bruno Fernandes.
They would have been rolling about for 2 minutes, and then crying for the next 5 minutes. Whereas Foden gets on with things immediately to pressure opposition, and scores within seconds

Glad we’ve got the kids on. Free hit game which bares nothing on our season. Brentford at the weekend is massive

It's insane Watkins (16 goals) Bowen (15 goals) don't get in the England team because the quality is that good!

Wow. Just seen that VAR called the ref to the monitor for a potential Brighton penalty. Ref stuck with his original decision.
Fair play to ref, not something we see often

I saw it and honesty thought it was six of one half a dozen the other.Also saw the Newcastle penalty for the first time. Shocking.
What about the “foul” in the Burnley where they scored from the free kick. Dear lord it was a shocker.

I almost can't help think that in the Brighton incident, the officials tried to find an incident where they could manipulate it to show that the ref can actually stick with his onfield decision from time to time. Simply because I couldn't understand why on earth VAR would call him to the screen in the first place. It seemed pretty clear that Dunk dragged the defender back first, and clearly committed the first foul. We were once told VAR would only intervene with clear and obvious errors, so I couldn't understand why it intervened then. The MOTD pundits even suggested the VAR also acknowledged Dunks foul, but just brought the ref over to talk it all through. Sometimes I think the officials are the biggest time wasters in the game
Yeah, the free kick given against Burnley was a joke. In fairness to the referee, from certain angles it looks like he must have gone down under contact in real time, and so I can see why a referee would instinctively give a free kick for a foul. But the replay showed it wasn't a foul at all. I suppose we'd never be talking about it had Burnley been able to defend the free kick.

I watched that game and was confused as to why VAR sent the ref to the screen. What was VAR seeing? There was no clear and obvious error.

If they can't decide within a minute or so then there is no obvious error based on the fact they can't see it so doesn't fit the definition of clear or obvious. But htis would mean a bit of knowledge and common sense which isn't found in abundance by football rules makers

Watched it again last night.
The defender puts both his arms around Dunk that’s why he tries to throw him away.
So the first “ foul “ is by the defender imo.

Please do them over. Nothing would please me more than to see those smug idiots dragged right into the relegation fight.

How are Chelsea odds on to win tonight?
I know Man Utd aren’t great,but I’d rather back them at 13/5.

At last, someone who sees it as I saw it. The defender obstructed Dunk and stopped him from getting to the ball and then grabbed him round the waist!
As clear a penalty as I've seen all season.
