There is no excusing the defending but neither of them free kicks were fouls. Not that it matters, it should and would’ve been a comfortable win for Luton either way.
Tbh though, I expected us to start dropping down the league weeks ago so that we’ve even lasted this long is good enough. With...
I like how the first time we played them this season, we had 13/32 players available because of injuries (5), internationals (13) and suspensions (1). This time, we have 12/26 - injuries (14). At this rate , will we even be able to name a team in the reverse fixture? :lol:
It's getting ridiculous.

Clubs were (and still would be) right to want VAR. VAR isn't the problem, it's the clowns operating it. Riley/PGMOL have integrated it their own way rather than following the guidelines almost everyone else are using. It's either arrogance (your typical "the English know best" bollocks) or...
Mainly because frame rates mean there's always going to be a margin of error. Cricket gets around that with umpires call. It would make sense to do same here. If you have to watch it back hundreds of times, draw lines and dots and whatnot... it's not clear and obvious so on-field decision should...
This is the thing, they're not even acknowledging the margin of error. It's why cricket has "umpires call". It's why in tennis hawk-eye hasn't replaced line judges and works on a challenge-based system. The whole point in VAR was to reduce the number of clear and obvious mistakes... not to spend...
It's laughable how poorly VAR is being used in the Prem. It works fine everywhere else. Bizarre, we've seen something being used correctly and gone, nah this way would be better. Honestly the only explanation that makes sense is that they don't want it so are implementing it in the most bat-shit...
VAR is the death of football. That’s a ridiculous decision.
Probably a good job I’m not a manager because I’d have told all the players to walk off. Absolute joke.
Edit - just to say I was all for video technology but they way they’ve implemented is ridiculous. Has to be deliberate. They must...
A pretty unique last 10 years though, I guess.
Promoted to Premier League by finishing 1st (2018–19), 2nd (2010–11) and 3rd via play-offs (2014–15).
Relegated from Premier League finishing 18th (2013–14), 19th (2015–16) and 20th* (2019–20)
*unconfirmed but inevitable
This is the most frustrating thing. For example, even if we *only* drew with Villa and Southampton we'd be above both. Or say we'd beaten Watford at home, we'd be level with them (Villa+Saints). Losing is bad, losing to those around you is tragic.
Just makes it all the more frustrating how pathetic they are against the rest.

May as well just ask the Premier League/Football League now if City can forfeit their remaining games and rejoin the Championship. And if ever in the future they look in danger of promotion, dock ‘em enough points to remain down.

It's not really about who is or isn't considered a starter. It's about having options and those are quickly running out. Players will come in and out of form - it's part of football - so being able to replace them is just as key as having "starters" fit.
The defensive unit isn't very good to...
