[Albion] Premier League 07-09/07/20

[Stat Brother]

The total number of points won by the bottom 5 since the restart = x
The total number of points brighton have won since the restart = y
Since Bournemouth gained a point this evening, is x 1 more than y?

That makes less sense than wot I rote.

Beyond surreal......it wasn't a penalty, but it went through a VAR review! Come on Keane, call that, don't say the defender was clumsy. Bullshit.

VAR can only overall the ref in that instance if it was a clear and obvious error by the ref. Given there was reasonable contact inside the area with the defending player not getting the ball, VAR was correct in staying with the on field decision - I agree with VAR in this respect. Keane said it wasn't a penalty. I'm not sure what more you want!?

Even if Albion had lost all their games since restart they would still be above the relegation zone !

 

[Bold Seagull]

A quick glance at Villatalk yields a number of their fans suggesting Manchester Utd will buy Mings in the Summer. Most deluded fans in the PL. I will be glad to see the back of them.

He'd certainly fit in with a host of a horrific centre back signings in recent years.

Clear and obvious? Like when someone’s toenail was offside, that clear and obvious thing has proven to be total rubbish throughout the whole season, the penalty we got against Everton being the prime example. The Villa defender didn’t even make a tackle and Fernandes trod on him, there’s no excusing that decision. It’s wrong.

 

[Wardy's twin]

surely that was a penalty against Mcguire.

 

[jcdenton08]

The change in Villa since that (laughably shit) penalty decision is unbelievable.

Watching them walk around looking disinterested reminds me a lot of losing 0-5 at home to Stoke in McGhee's last game in charge.

 

[Silverhatch]

Right United, rip them to ****ing pieces

Strangely (given I want Villa gone), I believe the VAR should have overturned Jon Moss's bizarre decision. If that's not worth overturning, then nothing is.

 

[Eeyore]

With Bournemouth's point tonight does that mean all the 5 (five) teams below us have now taken 1 more restart point, than the Albion?

Spot on. The Villa defender set himself to block, and Fernandes's momentum took him into him, terrible decision. A PRIME example of when the ref should clearly have gone over to the pitchside monitor to check/review his decision on the advice of VAR. But no.

I'm grateful in this game, mind. But its just yet another incident to add to the catalogue of evidence that proves that VAR is a crock of steaming shit.

3 or 4 goals for Man U now.....

I thank you !!!!!!

 

[The Wizard]

This could get ugly now, Villa look absolutely done.

 

[Saunders]

This could turn into a massacre villa look like they want to go home.

 

[Easy 10]

Captain Grealish skips out of the way of Pogba's shot, jumping out of the way and turning his back. 0-3.

They are a dismal outfit.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'm reading the body language, the tea leaves and the lees in my red wine, but Villa are now gone. One place left.

 

[Dick Head]

Bye bye, Villa. See you soon.

 

[Weststander]

Is this the same United who ran through us at will in the first half? Look rubbish...so far


Expecting a Villa goal soon, much the better team so far

Patience Icy, never judge a Villa team from the first 20 minutes.

 

[atomised]

Its pleasing that the bottom 3 have only gained 1 point on us in spite of last nights result and that our goal difference didnt take the massive hit it could've done

 

[Saunders]

Bye bye, Villa. See you soon.

Lets hope not
