[The Wizard]

Sheffield United 1 point from 10 games

 

[Lethargic]

Not really blaming him (sure Poch will have told him to go up), just enjoying the absolute comedy moment that he was an instrumental part of…

 

[Lethargic]

Very reasonable observation, but

Fair point

In the absence of @Stat Brother, they'll put that right on 12th November...

World class shithousery there.

Sheffield United 1 point from 10 games

They've offered absolutely nothing at all against Arsenal. I don't have any expectations of them, but not one single moment of quality or threatening to score

 

[Colonel Mustard]

8-0, all goals in the second half. Hattrick for Kane.

 

[The Wizard]

Must be a day for the long distance lob, Billing just lobbed the Burnley keeper from about 40 yards

 

[BNthree]

So who wants Saturday 3pm games to be televised?
Arsenal v Sheffield United
AFC Bournemouth v Burnley
Which one would you sit at home and watch?

I’ve got the Arsenal Blades match on

VAR about 10 minutes ago, still no decision.

 

[The Wizard]

Farcical scenes in the muff game, lines being drawn from the wrong body part, please get automated technology… absolutely farcical.

6 minutes and counting…. Crowd getting angry, understandably so.

Sounds like a total clusterfvck……green line, red line, onside, offside…..5 mins to get to a decision. Even Mike Dean is saying it’s embarrassing

 

[The Wizard]

How the f**k can they say that’s offside or onside? Absolutely unbelievable, why not use automated technology, the first line they drew said onside but the line was clearly drawn on the wrong part of Rodriguez body

David Coote in the VAR room looked like he was having a panic attack.

 

[TomandJerry]

The PL teams apparently voted down the use of semi automated AI use in offsides at the start of the season

 

[perth seagull]

Tomiyasu scored for Arsenal against Sheffield United, the second of the three Japanese players in the PL (after our own Mitoma) to score this season.

What possible reason could be behind that though? The World Cup style offside automation was quick and left no room for argument, we’ve got chumps drawing lines from terribly pixelated stills, it’s embarrassing.

 

[Pavilionaire]

That VAR decision took precisely 5m 30s. Fans audibly singing "VAR is fxcking shit!' on Soccer Saturday. Mike Dean in studio says he doesn't care how long it takes providing they get the right decision. He should care - this is another shambles. We're back to square one with VAR.

He did say it was embarrassing too tbf
