Oh yeah, helpful to know

Everton should have been awarded a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on 20 December, according to the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel.

But...but...but I thought that PGMOL, the Premier League and the Universe were all part of a conspiracy against Arsenal...? Do you mean to say that there is actual evidence that Arsenal fans are wrong about this?! Blimey!

Sam Barrott is now on Arsenal's Christmas list

This is interesting...

Happy New Year everyone

Yeah but there aren’t really that many - the top had 3 positive the bottom 3 and only 18 overall

and tbh what effect would it have had on- Arsenal overturned was still a victory and Liverpool beat West Ham 5-0 beat Everton anyway and lost to Fulham.

VAR is still a human at the other end and one who makes mistakes as do referees, there is no agenda!

Blwddwyn newydd da, as my father's family would say.

Happy New Year all! 🥳

Yes, we were lucky with this (and the potential 2nd yellow for Merino yesterday), but it just shows how difficult it is to make a decision as it was 3 to 2 in favour of a penalty, so 2 of the panel still thought that it wasn't.

Rumour has it Pascal Gross is on his way back to Brighton from Germany! Really pleased if this is true, he will have a big stabilising effect I think

Yes, but Merino shouldn't have had the first yellow, the guy fell over his own feet!

Tranfer window is open and Maresca could be on his way out

It's official - Maresca has gone.

That was quick

I missed that, but even so, it is worrying that Merino put himself in danger of a red.

Yes. I assume that they have someone lined up.

Thank you Sunderland.

Not sure how they are doing it but they are playing the most amazing football.

I don't like football today. Football was better last year.

Todd Boehly is always quick

what a dull set of matches at the airport so watching it via FotMob and it was dull!

Official today! Delighted with this

Agree! Spurs are shit (although that’s not surprising). My fantasy football score is shit. Please can I have a whine and a vent - and some fantasy football tips? 😂

I am doing quite well in FPL and have no idea how My only rule is no Liverpool players.

You probably don't want FPL tips from me! I'm not too bad at FEFL but nowhere near the top.

My FPL is looking better than my 2 teams A loss and a bore draw yesterday!

Seem to remember you’re a Tottenham fan? 😉 I feel your pain! I was very much hoping Frank would take the opportunity to thrash Brentford, but no luck there sadly.
