The Official 2024/25 Premier League Thread

The push, such as it was, was far from obvious and there wasn't an immediate reaction from Liverpool looking for it. VAR reviewed it and got to see it in slow motion. If it was the wrong call, it was on them. The same thing happens from corners all the time.

How more times do we need to tolerate VAR just making a determination that their best mate on the pitch didn't make a "clear and obvious" error rather than basing their guidance purely on the laws of the game. Just this one thing creates such friction in the game as every football stakeholder has an intuitive understanding of the laws and knows the decision was wrong.

I read an article the other day that there had only been something like 21 mistakes this entire season, and there was a reduction from last season. I bet you and I could find 21 errors in a single PL weekend if we use the laws.

We definitely have the fox watching the hen house in refereeing right now.
 
Touch of the year. All three touches to break free were great, but that first one obviously was a piece of art.

Chelski now imploding.
 
Chelsea are very formulaic
I know a few Chelsea fans who are very unhappy with with Marrsca…. No palm B and not managing the injuries well apparently
I just said it’s because they are now playing without resting players IMO
 
Chelsea reverting to type after a good start. To think they were being touted as title contenders a few months ago...in fairness to Maresca he played that down. Still can't see us beating them though
 
With Chelsea and City wobbly this season, a top 4 finish was (is) a pretty easy path. Shame we're not in a place to take advantage but I truly think Forest might stay the course this season and end up in the CL next year. Rolling back the years for them.

I always think it's a good thing when a Villa or Forest get CL. It piles a load of pressure on their squad and normally means they can't achieve top 4 the following season. That means their revenues and costs have swings that they may not manage so well, and normally best players leave through the process. At the same, it is stopping one of the money clubs getting a stronger foothold in the top 4.

I'd obviously love it to have been us, but if Forest get it then that's not a bad thing. Great for that town as well.
