Does anyone know why the live games this Sunday are at 1pm and 3:30pm rather than two and half four?
Clocks change this weekend, they'll be the BST times.
Edit: or maybe not... Seems a bit weird, but it'll be something to do with the clocks changing.

Didn't they try and move a Liverpool game to Christmas Eve a few years ago but scrapped the idea after a backlash from supporters? It might have been against Arsenal, funnily enough.

Possibly because we aren't Liverpool. The VAR man and the ref were just about the only two people who thought it was handball.
They did think it was handball though, unlike the Liverpool goal which was disallowed despite the VAR thinking it wasn't offside.
Hopefully you can see the difference.

Ramsdale and his team were beaten by 3 goal's or more 8x all season, Trafford and Burnley have let in 3 or more in x5 game's out of x8 played so far, we won't be making a profit
Which 5 games are those?

There's no point trying to draw any meaningful conclusions from the xG of a single game, let alone a single shot. The value is in reducing or eliminating the noise inherent in analysing results of a low scoring game that are hugely influenced by variance.

Yep, they’ve been making quality chances just couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net.
Obviously DCL returning to fitness and the acquisition of Harrison has helped them and will continue to help them out from here on.
Yes, Everton should be fine this season, comfortably midtable.

Crazy to claim Chelsea will be top 6. Properly crazy.
I don't think it's that crazy, their underlying stats have them as the second best team in the league.

We aren't "as good",so will be viewed by the others as we view them. I'm simply saying if we continue to play as we are, every game will be tough.
Yes, every game will be tough, but some (the ones against the better teams) will be tougher than others. That's just a fact.

I'm simply pointing out that they'll be just as tough games, but for different reasons. People seem to think that because we beat Luton we'll walk over the bottom half teams.We won't.
Of course they won't be just as tough. Playing against teams that aren't as good will be easier.

You'd think we shouldn't be afraid of beating a team we finished comfortably above last season in a lower division, but no doubt about it Luton will be well up for it after beating Everton, being at home, and knowing we're desperate to get off the mark. They must be the clear favourites. Nope, Burn...

£100m players at present are the ones who have already won the European Cup/Champions League and are going to a club with even more money. Not promising youngsters (however good) from the lower reaches.
None of the players that went for over £100m this summer have won the Champions League.

What a depressing write off of a season this is already shaping up to be after the magnificent highs of last season which are slowly being expunged from the memory bank. I really don't understand what we're up to. All that money spent. Frightening times. Can't be long before we're cut adrift. :lol:...

VAR causes confusion and argument every week. At least when we (Burnley) were in the Championship we didn't have that problem. In this particular situation, because the 'Handball' was not by the scorer, it has to be deliberate to rule out the goal. Therefore, why did the refereee not book Sander Be...

No, only accidental handball by the goalscorer immediately before the goal is scored means the goal is disallowed. That change was made at least one season ago, maybe longe...

It’s a conspiracy. Nothing has changed since last time we were in this league. They’d rather have the likes of Leicester than little Burnley in this league because they can make more money.

That's a bit Kafkaesque. Something ends up being defined as clear and obvious because it's minor enough not to be seen.

I think the reason it can be called a clear and obvious error is because the ref didn't make an on field decision on the handball. If he'd told VAR that he'd seen the ball brush Berge's arm but didn't think it was deliberate then the goal would probably have stood. It's not right but I do think it's...

It has to be paid in full, up front. The video is on the clubs YouTube channel.
Still can't see the video, what's the title?
VAT is fully reclaimable so it isn't a cost of the transfer and shouldn't be included in any comparison to value from abroad.
