Re: Season 2017/2018
Was expected though, what wasn't expected was how poor United were until they actually scored.
I mean we've got 3 clear cut chances in that half and took 1 of them. City might be 3-0 up from that, Arsenal may be a few ahead. We're really bad at scoring goals and somehow we've put one away.
Combine that with the amount of chances missed before the leveller and I can see an absolute trouncing by City and them literally just wandering off from the league.
Lost 4-1 and I'm still cacking it to play City.

Encouraging signs from that game Den.
Hopefully we get Lallana back soon and things could really start looking up.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Moyes out.
Seriously though, Watford are playing some great football.
2-0, was coming. West Ham fans now turn their attention towards the players and the board.

Timeframe? Could be completed as early as the weekend or as late as the New Year.

That last bit generally means they wish to be the only party remaining to takeover the club and is a general sign they're going ahead with a takeover, as if the bid didn't confirm that, but it's just an assurance thing. Only the Staveley talks have been made public but obviously we're aware of 3 other parties, Chinese, Middle-Eastern and an unknown group. Nothing was disclosed about how far they got besides the NDA. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Staveley and PCP won the race though. Of all the groups, I've only seen the Chinese group as the other serious party, they were however worried about not being able to invest with current Chinese rulings stopping that.
But hey, SportsDirect@Sunderland incoming! Jokes aside it wouldn't even be a bad move for Sunderland right now, he might well clear the debt and make the club float. But realistically I don't think he'll be after another club except Rangers? Even being a geordie I can tell what's going on at Sunderland is a joke. How they've been allowed to get into this position is a disgrace and the same applies with Villa, the latter are absolutely knackered if they don't get promoted.

Another shocking decision this season then, just to add to the 30 page list Shawcross clatters him and thats a penalty all day, it's not even a hard decision.

Re: Season 2017/2018
And yet another appalling decision in the Chelsea game , not even a foul yet red card and penalty. Shocking

Re: Season 2017/2018
I've missed it, gonna look through last night's clips now. In the meantime, I'm sure Den saw this but: https://streamable.com/o0v1v
It's just embarrassing.
All in all though I'm trying not to exaggerate but we're just literally watching the standard of refereeing fall away with hilariously bad decisions in games combined with some people actually agreeing. I.E Kyle Walkers phantom elbow against Everton was it? People are still convinced he's done him with his elbow despite the fact Walker's elbow goes absolutely nowhere near the lads face, nor does it even touch any other part of his body. Walker was sent off for a shoulder charge ultimately.
Juve's penalty the other night was hilariously bad. The commentator literally saying, there's Juve's mandatory penalty didn't help, they're not exactly a team notorious for spot fixing or anything...
Shawcross at the weekend with a quite remarkable attempt to win the ball in the box, completely misses it, wipes the player out, goal kick
Kompany flattens Vardy when he's clean through on goal, Yellow card.
Just watched the Chelsea one, can see why the ref gives it, he doesn't get the luxury we do so it's not as obvious. On a quick run it looks like your typical 'he's pulled him down' but in fairness Willian gets ahead and the bloke has nowhere to go after the battle, he doesn't even clatter into the back him that hard and Willian is always going down from it, it's a really soft one but the worst end of the decision is to then be sent off for it. I mean Chelsea should win obviously but it killed the game off anyway in 19 minutes.

Re: Season 2017/2018
l have given up on the deplorable standard of decent refereeing now as every game l watch some of the decisions are utterly laughable as so many decisions are inconsistent with the same similar type of thing that happens in many other games.

Re: Season 2017/2018
There was hope that VAR technology would help but because that is being interpreted by humans it appears that mistakes are still being made.

Re: Season 2017/2018
The Moyes era has well and truly started.
