Special Juan

If we sack him for McKenna then honestly I'm fucking done.

The PGMOL are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to rectify referee errors and addressing what they can do better. I always use a simple comparison when it comes to refs and players being punished for mistakes- If a striker misses a 2 yard sitter, they are not vilified, demoted or left to rot on the bench they are told to not worry about it and keep on going with a pat on the back. If a referee misses a blatant penalty, and by your analogy should be hung out to dry, death threats and attacked at grass roots level, it's not going to work, but what will work is more hard work from Howard Webb and people at the PGMOL . My son is 18 and level 4 referee now so I now see the inside and outside of officiating. I see the training, the fitness tests and also the examinations they go through and beleive me when I say this it's as intense as anything as I have seen before. My son officiates and represent his regional and now national CORE (centre of refereeing excellence) so he doesn't just your regular coaching at regional level he get's the intense and structured levels at national level. As it stands there is no training given on VAR until you are at say level 2.2a/2b I believe. A big thing is also has the person officiating actually played the game to understand the game. A lot of referee's at PL level haven't even played the game and that is a big big thing, why might you ask? Well, an understanding of the game, not the rules of officiating as that is different but understanding game dynamics, pace of games and players and how they try and manipulate officials decisions, when those who have played the game actually act and understand. One final thing on VAR etc, what they need to to and it is two very simple things to start getting better is clear up and sort the handball rule out, nobody knows what is or is not handball anymore. Secondly this offiside rule is abysmal, a toe offside? We have seen it with us, we get a goal disallowed for someone being level, the next week someone is leaning a yard offside and a goal is given. It needs to be started again, officlas fully trained on VAR, rules cleared up with clear and concise of what is and isn't legal or illegal and go from there.

Would also be typically us if Spurs lose and then we drop points

Reece is just stupid, and him missing games next season won't matter as Gusto is both fitter and will offer much more in the future. Good win all told though, Palmer's header was great and Caicedo out did the booing as he was excellent VAR is not the issue it is the people using it, they are not trained full and just simply stuck in front of a screen and told 'do it'

This was another shit game where we managed to get 3 points and get out of there. Glad we won and rubbed back in the face of CHO and his fucking daft celebration. All to play for now

A Spanish side benefit from dodgy decision, imagine my shock

Should be easily discussed in the same bracket as Bellingham, Bellingham went into a world class side and did what he did, Palmer has single handedly pulled the pants of this club up and dragged us through. Class player

He's shite that's why

Similar team to last night please

More worried if we were playing someone like Sheffield United in all honesty. We will win this, 2-1, Madueke to start, Caicedo and Gallagher in the middle with Carney if available.

Confirmed, he's leaving

Might be a blessing this

We just want to see a fight from players, work your arse off and don't chuck the toys out the pram if things don't go your way. The problem lately we have bought mentally weak players that are far too raw coming into the most intense league in the world and yet a lot cower like babies

Poch won't play Casadei, loves his main me too much. We won't win this, they are to full of energy for us-when we played them the other month that was one of the best performances of the season but that is once every now and again Villa 3-1 Chelsea

This guy was brutal last night, and not enough is spoken about how average he has been this season. I;m actually not sure what he is meant to do or what he does really well

Solanke and Jackson shouldn't be used in the same sentence

As soon as I saw those two fucking useless cunts in at CB I knew we would get rail roaded 80 odd million worth of absolute shite starting again as a CB pairing yet the useless Argentinian cunt leaves Trevor and Silva on the bench. Fucking embarrasing from start to finish and his PC afterwards was also a fucking piss take. Jacson has now also decided that instead of heading the ball he will just use his hand in hope it doesn't get noticed. If anyone tries to defend Jackson on here you need to seriously look at checking yourself in at the local special hospital, he once again proved apart from running up the field to ease pressure on us he has fuck all left to offer, Championship player at best

Read that back to yourself, you are deluded.

Another championship level player, absolutely clueless this bloke

I'm not a Poch fan but fuck me to blame him for that on Saturday is weak and pathetic, if your going to blame anyone blame Jackson the useless cunt

We sold Maatsen to keep this bloke here-all you ask is to play one basic pass, he couldn't even manage that

Stand by it, fucking garbage

Great win that, nothing much more to say about Palmer, he's just elite level. The fight was a joke, embarrassing really- only dark cloud on a very very good night Nice to see Poch flinging verbal punches and getting angry with some of this lot, he's too nice and need more of that

Say it again, no better time to play us when you need a lift and a few points, be either 1-1 or 2-1 them

Very quiet about Liverpool on Sky Sports News this morning, I wonder why
