Re: The three promoted clubs. Are the actually good?

I still think Sunderland go down. They have been incredibly lucky with the fixtures and more specifically when those games were played. They should have lost points to Brentford who missed a pen and Palace who missed an open goal. They beat West Ham with about 0.6 xg. They played Forest after a Euro...

Re: Match of the day

Most Burnley supporters predicted we’ll go down, it’s not a difficult conclusion to draw given how promoted teams have fared recently. Unless you considered that we conceded about a quarter of the goals of Southampton and less than a third of Ipswich in their previous Championship campaigns. Massiv...

Re: Promoted sides doing far better than expected

There’s always a flip side but both the other teams have away points already whilst we are at Spurs, Old Trafford, Etihad and Villa, places where even 1 point is unlikely. Away points for a promoted team is massively important and nothing from those games puts far more pressure on to your home games.

Another one. No way you cancel that goal. Clueless officials again. Whether we have VAR or not the officials still need to understand the game and what is accidental and what isn’t. Unfortunately, again we have a ref, VAR and aVAR, none of them understanding the game.

VAR or no VAR we get shafted anyway. The Lino gave the offside just like the ref gave the first pen for the non foul. So no VAR and we may be an extra goal behind at half time. With no VAR in the second half we likely get a battling draw but of course when it’s a small team at Old Trafford they can ...
