Roy Keane

Ya know, I think Carragher loves Keane more than Neville.

I see British rags have finally moved on from Sterling to target Greenwood now. Would be boring without getting to bully a young black footballer on a regular basis huh? Disgusting.

I also some a pathetic piece on Rashford. The headline was about him buying £2m in luxury properties while campaigning for those less fortunate. He had responded saying something along the lines of “I came from nothing and am trying to invest”. The media is really sickening and I feel for these young guys. Rashford in particular just seems like a great person, and they’re trying to vilify him.

Daily mail has always been horrific but it's getting into s*n territory now

That rashford hit job was absolutely pathetic

No big deal, but I guess Liverpool gets to decide on who should officiate their games now?

Frankly....every team should object to this clown being the VAR ref.

You know what though: we got screwed over by Michael Oliver last year, what felt like dozens of times. At no point did we get the option of having him removed.

I get it...people are unhappy with the Pickford decision. But the truth is the FA didn't take action either because the ref had a clear view and didn't do anything.

How do you know? Did Spurs ever lodge a formal complaint?

Coote earned this. A clear Red Card decision completely overlooked and a game-winning goal denied by....I still dont know why.

You see this as Liverpool selecting their referees, I see this as Liverpool taking a stand and benching a clearly incompetent official.

Coote needs to go back to reffing U9 to hone his skills.

Well the underlying problem is that if we sent every ref back to U9 who needed that remedial work, we'd have no one left!

Based on the quality of EPL refereeing I have full confidence that a Roomba with a whistle could easily step in to fill the gap.

Villa has forgotten how to finish today, 4 point blank chances in the first half but somehow losing 1-0. Great pace to this game so far by both Brighton and Villa

[J epworth]

I hate VAR

[Matty81]

This week in dissecting var... that was another weird one. I think if trezeguet hadn't done the head toss and exagerrated it so badly its a penalty, clear contact that impacted player, but it was such a terrible exaggerated dive and overdone that they were asking was there enough contact to go over and could he have played on and was it faking.

Anyway could see how it got called back but for me that was still a penalty though, can't miss the ball and kick a guy in the shins in the box even lightly.

Also man Song is so good right now.

Trezeguet was so frustrating to watch today, great work rate again, getting in the right spots and then just hitting field goals over the bar all day.

Mike Dean shows he doesn't know the rules and screws city out of a goal even after reviewing on VAR.

Points to the upper part of the arm that is considered NOT handball and rules the goal out.

[Locke]

Ederson....what are you doing there?

Looks like Jesus’ inside elbow/bicep, no?

He’s a funnel. Got a Vernon’eque 5-hole. More Megs, than a high school yearbook.

City are going to drop a lot of points off of Ederson mistakes.

Let's not pretend losing to City is worse than collapsing vs West Ham. Even a Spurs fan can't be silly enough to go there.
If you take more out of your 2 fixtures (West Ham & City), then you can come back here and trash talk me.

Oh man, what a time for me to have permission to trash talk you. A masterful performance, and top of the league! How are you guys these days...let’s see...bottom half? That’s grim. Well you’ve got that easy trip to Elland Road so I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about there.
