Would VAR have disallowed a Spurs goal if they’d scored after that GBH tackle on the Muff player

It was an awful challenge hardly mentioned by the commentary.

Spurs still getting away with bad fouls even without Kane

 

[pasty]

Quite a fan of Spurs all white kit.

 

[Dick Head]

I can understand Sokratis Papastathopoulos having his first name on the back of his shirt but Philip Billing?

 

[Official Old Man]

Chelsea v Luton Town (20:00) - H
AFC Bournemouth v Tottenham Hotspur (12:30) - D
Arsenal v Fulham H
Brentford v Crystal Palace H
Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers A
Manchester United v Nottingham Forest D
Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham United (17:30) - H

Have Newcastle got the worst draw in the Prem. Man City, Liverpool & Albion.
Brentford could be 3rd tonight but confident we'll still be top.

I wondered that. Replays show his heel scraped the ball. To me, that's not enough, the only way he makes contact with the ball is by going through the player and scissoring his leg out from under him, but with VAR, who knows what way they'd go. Contact with the ball enough for it not to be a 'clear and obvious error' in VAR's mind?

Foul all day long. If spurs had scored it should have been wiped out under VAR review, but because it is spurs it would have stood of course.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

The co-commentator is so annoying.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Is the commentary box in the spurs end?

I thought those pig-ignorant spurs fans were warned against singing the 'Being a ' song yet blast it out at every available opportunity

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Spurs up to 11 players on the pitch having subbed Richarlison

 

[The Wizard]

Bournemouth player gets in linos face, no booking….. wonder if that’s because it was obviously not a foul.

Depends if the guy on VAR is mates with the ref I guess

 

[Gwylan]

That's shocking defending: four players standing around watching while Kulusevski says "Thanks very much"

In a J-Lo type move he should call himself PhilBill

 

[US Seagull]

Bollocks, down to second.

Impact of losing Julio already felt.

We're doomed!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I always suspected he'd be a good coach. Certainly much better than some of the overrated European merry go round types like Pochetino and Conte.

When Kane left you feel he embraced it. Some of these designer manager types would have whined about their club owners and made excuses for their crap forthcoming season.

Kane leaving is a blessing for Ange, less presser to apease the player and the circus in the media around

I am impressed how he has dismantled the toxic leadership group at the club, which Kane was part of.

Trossard starting up top for Arsenal.

Blimey 1st minute

Arsenal 0-1 Fulham
Utd 0-1 Forest
