This wasn't given as a penalty.

I said to my dad it was outrageous.

It's a good job Asensio did manage to get the winner. It could have cost us a place in the CL.

Worst thing is it actually did get VAR'd and they decided to stick with the on pitch decision.

VAR stuck its nose in too often this weekend. Two penalties ruled out which should have been awarded, two yellow cards upgraded to red (I'm not saying necessarily they were wrong, but aren't they, as Alan Shearer said, more or less forcing the refs to change their mind now?) and generally as usual ruining the game. I was glad to see Arsenal lose; I want Liverpool to win the title.

CL gone. League season over. Well done to the team on that pathetic display tonight.

Only a trophy will make up for this season's league performance.

And sort the fucking defence out. More holes than Swiss cheese.

So shit.

Oh well.

Jeez, was he on the same trawler as Cantona when the seagulls were after him?

Not a bad duo, them two.

The Spanish are going after 115 FC now.

I'm going to cry when they're found guilty. They're so fucked.

[Trollheart]

Why do you call them 115 FC? Does FC stand for Fucking Cunts?

Initially it was 115 charges but it's since gone up to 130.

You should probably start a separate thread about the financial misdealings at City.
Or, I guess, I can cover it in Manchester Meltdown.
You foresee a Rangersesque demotion to a lower league, fragmentation of the club?

No point because there aren't enough football fans on here plus I can just use this thread in my crusade against them.

They're definitely going to get found guilty on some, if not most of the charges. They may get off with a few on a technicality. The main thing is that they're found guilty, as that would tarnish everything they've 'achieved'.

The sentencing is done independently (ie not the PL) so I have hope that they will get hit hard. Relegation is a possibility yes.

After that, there may well be a load of legal action from clubs who have lost out due to their cheating, think European places and Cup finals.

If I had to make a prediction now, I'd say guilty on some charges and the largest points deduction in PL history. The trophies should be stripped but whether they will be or not, I dunno.

Bring it home!

We'll be running round the Bullring with the Cup!

This is probably the worst attempt to win the ball I've ever seen and could genuinely have resulted in somebody's death.

[Trollheart]

Yeah, he was taken to hospital but apparently released. Close call. No VAR needed for THAT one!

[jimmy jazz]

Great win for us.

Enjoy the next six weeks guys.

The sort of run of fixtures we could only dream of is now here.

Come on Villa.
