The reality of this season's that teams like wolves and sheffield United are putting us to shame: hungry and have a good formation even if they don't have so called world class players. They play to their strengths and with intensity and passion

I thought that although it looks skewed it was all calibrated to be viewed from the angle of the cameras which negates the skew?
I genuinely didn't realise some FA Cup games had V.A.R this weekend, and some didn't...
Dier has his left foot in the lighter green strip. Their forward is in the darker shade. Anyway it’s certainly not clear.
Surely that can't be right/fair?
It's gotta be all or nothing, surely?
Otherwise it's luck of the draw TWICE, depending on what ground you're playing in?
VAR may well have chalked off their goal... it may not have... but it certainly would've been unfair to go out via a goal that may have been chalked off on another ground!
Fucking glad we equalised now!

I can't wait for the day a players cock bulge is the deciding factor in an offside decision.
Today looked on side to me. Had there been some Norwich, Pukki type VAR call ruling that out, I would have been a bit ashamed.

I was actually laughing at our corners
I think they have VAR at home games for EPL teams but nowhere else. It does seem not right, either every game has it or none.
Man City squeakd through last year on an offsides goal that would have been disallowed by VAR but it was at Swansea so no VAR.
Search my post for the word "pointless" (that you've cited as a direct quote TWICE now).
It's not there.... You're misrepresenting what I've said.
"...Cos passing alone doesn't amount to much; neither does possession without meaningful penetration.
Add to that the caliber of opposition and I think it's obvious where opinions of "wank" come from."
(Possession at the very least means the oppo can't attack, so by definition can't be "pointless"....)
I don’t think that’s completely fair (although I do get your drift).
We actually controlled the midfield. I honestly can’t remember the last time we did that. Yes, it was a champo side, but we had something resembling a defence that passed the ball through midfield, and then on to the attack.
Our problem was that they recognised this, sat deep and our forwards squandered most opportunities.
Giving up those pointless areas would have seen a much more even game with them launching far more long balls at us and putting us under pressure.
We did ok.
Absolute Gobshite from José.
He could have, like, played the 18yo highly rated international striker on our bench and taken off Dele fucking Alli, who would rather design baseball caps or rock up a nightclub than play a game of football.
Certainly not the arm/shoulders thing.... They measure them as per a line being perpendicular to the view from the floor. Saw some interesting debate on the matter a few days back... Can't remember where tho', sorry.
Google is your friend.
I read that Championship grounds aren’t set up for it.
Really?
This performance from Poch, the late AVB or Redknapp and supporters would be singing for them to get sacked.
IMHO it was a shocking performance in regards of concentration (marking, doing the simple things right), fitness and sharpness.
Even beside that, it's a ignorant quote of the highest order. Middlesbrough would sign every single one of the players we fielded if it were possible for them, and every single one of them would waltz into Boro's first team. We should win that match 10/10 times - the players and the manager failed, and it's not because Harry fucking Kane wasn't there to save us. We aren't the "Harry Kane team". Cunt quote from Jose.
...GLC completes 2 decent passes over 3 yards while spunking away possession a dozen times and everybody anoints him as the Savior...grasping at straws...
