Hello! Last GW before the international break, so it’s all go. Last chance for VAR to annoy everyone for a while.

Saturday 11 November

Wolves 12:30 Spurs Nice and gentle start…
TNT Sports
Arsenal 15:00 Burnley You’d think Arsenal would win. Saka might be back.
Crystal Palace 15:00 Everton Ditto with Palace!
Man Utd 15:00 Luton I give up predicting Utd results.
Bournemouth 17:30 Newcastle Tooooon!
Sky Sports

Sunday 12 November

Aston Villa 14:00 Fulham Watkins is on form this week.
Brighton 14:00 Sheffield Utd Brighton are riding on a Europe high, and the Blades really aren’t.
Liverpool 14:00 Brentford Another Reds VAR controversy? Probability high
West Ham 14:00 Nott'm Forest I may skip this. It’s not cooking my bananas, or whatever the saying is.
Sky Sports
Chelsea 16:30 Man City The Big Game. Which will probably be bad tempered and annoying to watch.
Sky Sports

Go tend to your teams!

VAR getting a really bad press right now.
I think the "experts" (most of whom appear to be ex Untidy players who conveniently forget how Wolves were robbed earlier this season) need to read up on what VAR is all about. They should come to the crushing realisation that it only has final say over offside calls. Otherwise it hands the responsibility back to the on field officials in cases of video reviews. The latter then make a decision.
VAR does not send players off

Dammit, Spurs!
At least Norwich won...

Holy hell!
The Chelsea v FFP FC game was nuts

wasn't it just! though not as nuts as the Spurs game (at least we won that). i was agog!

Just seen it. BS. Let city be and hit a smaller club instead, who overspent by a few quid. Hmm.

It's a bit more than a few quid. £372m loss in three seasons where there is a £105m cap over the same period.
FFP FC are still under investigation. But if Neverton get a 10 point penalty, then they should have titles stripped & be booted out of the premier league for their shenanigans. As should Chelski who seem to be still financially involved with Abramovic.

Oh I'd read they were £124m over a £105m limit. Ah well, still don't want to see them kicked out of any leagues, just let nature take its course.
