So a winged lion with a pair of footbollocks in its grasp underneath?

Winged lion is the symbol of St Mark and thus of Venice. It's a serene lion. Ours by contrast is a lion rampant, a lion about to give you a claw sandwich.

Better than a cow sandwich from Firenze, any day.

No VAR table, 2 decisions where VAR changed the outcome.
Drawing the lines saw Lucas Digne deemed offside before Diego Carlos “scored” in the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, while Leon Bailey’s strike was controversially overturned for a foul on Sheffield United keeper Wes Foderingham in last month’s surprise 1-1 draw.

But...we wouldn't be able to play the defensive off side trap we do without it.

Before seeing this data I honestly believed that Unai's offside play was far too smart for on field  officials and we absolutely need VAR but apparently not so. Linesman have picked up all transgressions by the opposition and we have not had any on field decisions overturned in our favour by VAR so far this season as far as I can remember.

I saw some stats that backed that up as well every goal that's been chalked off had been flagged before the review.

It's as though linesmen used to have to manage without VAR.

Our level has definitely dropped since the Citeh game, but in the main we’ve done well to grind out points. Hopefully the January rest will enable players to recover/get over injuries and we’ll kick on. Arsenal on the other hand are losing games as their level drops - they’re there for the taking in terms of top 4.
