I've seen it a hundred times and, honestly, Wirtz is just offside. Baffling.

They got one at Leeds the other week where the player looked off in all the replays, then the automated picture seemed to have shunted the attacker back a couple of feet.

Maybe the technology struggles with red shirts?

What a wonderful Sunday afternoon, watching Liverpool and Man City concede late, late goals and drop points.

I can’t really be arsed with all the anti-Villa conspiracies, or getting wound up that we are not being talked about enough, but that is just weird. It reminds me of two years ago at Christmas when again we were third behind Arsenal and Man City I think and Spurs were fourth and MOTD 2 talked about the title race between man city, Arsenal and Spurs and literally didn’t mention us. I get viewing figures, likes on social media etc, being driven by the popularity of those clubs, but editorially to sit down and decide two years ago or now we are literally going to pretend the team clear in third (or joint second this year), doesn’t exist, is a bit bizarre.

Without St Gary pants plugs Leicester probably would have been ignored until April 2016

In the case of this graphic, it was just referring to the matches played yesterday, no? All of the Saturday fixtures were excluded.

Nah, the context is very clearly about Arsenals ‘rivals’.  It used to wind me up more than it does, but it is still annoying.  On a positive note, maybe it can be motivational for the players somehow.

Maresca would be the perfect fit for Utd. An arrogant, ungracious c unt.
He’d fit in well.
