thanks so much! It was in 2000, when was 7 years old, so it has been almost 20 years. I idolised him, he was a DJ, which is partially where I got my love of music from (my parents too, my mum was a part-time jazz singer, and my father a part-time jazz clarinettist, which is how they met) My other brother can play multiple instruments and my sis is a great singer (she never did much with it) I am the only one with no real innate musical talent, other than I can dance me arse off, roflmooo.. I can spin a bit too, but nothing super serious.

grew up listening to things like this coming from my father's library

Probably make matters even worse. As a number of managers stated this weekend - Make use of the bloody SCREENS!

It's a joke how they're not using the pitchside monitor. We're literally having more than one referee officiating every match!

And they all seem to be on the same level. It's silly how this has become such a talking point every game. Rare it's oooh been used well. Mostly wtf have they decided from it this time

Seems like VAR is a brand new concept that's taking them months at a time to understand. [emoji849]

It's really stupid. Other leagues - e.g. Bundesliga - introduced VAR earlier than the PL and they could have used them as case studies or learned from them but nope, they want to do it their own way and are now creating a mess every weekend in like every match!

Ignorance. Let's just hope this shit storm will be addressed sooner rather than later.

Hopefully cause what they're doing clearly isn't right and it isn't working. It's not one mistake it's many. Plus if it's costing teams points it's hardly fair.

Not sure why you are surprised. It was a pretty standard yellow card tackle . Gomes broke his leg because Aurier came and smashed him afterwards. 

[Jase 43,479]

Crikey!

Son's red card overturned after appeal.

Slightly surprised considering the statement that was released shortly after the incident.

Surely it isn't going to be marked up as a freak accident, though?

[Laylabelle 9,426]

Not surprised really. It was never a red just such a unfortunate accident

Yea but somehow you just know if that was a Chels player it wouldnt get overturned. What about that cunt Aurier? Surely someone has to pay the price.

Xhaka is no longer Arsenal's captain. Aubameyang gets the armband.
