All decisions were looked at last season during the summer & showed Liverpool winning the league by a point had VAR been in play.

That is some BS they put up there, every time them scousers look like figting it out they get immense amount of goodies. Look at 13-14, look how many freaking times they canceled the oppo teams goals last season, the amount of times they dived and dived for pens and nothing was said and done by the fa and media, the refs kept going at it all day long. The eye test overrules the stats test. They are one of the big darlings along with spurs. Spurs too benefit greatly.

I watched city and pool yesterday. City played much better. It is ridiculous that city barely concede chances,whereas norwich created tons yesterday.

of course the victims get an early Friday kickoff in order to rest for the UEFA Super Cup, fuck you FA you bunch of Scouse and Manc cock suckers, this is bullshit on so many levels, i can only imagine how VAR will be used in the league, they will probably turn a blind eye to favour their favorite teams. Pieces of shit

why the FUCK did they schedule us on a fucking Sunday!!!!

We should have had a 6PM Friday game, ffs

or give us and the Bindippers both Saturday games

LOL what did you guys expect, its not like its the first time we see this. The media and FA would love it if pool smashed us a new one......its per course, they have their selected darlings.

I am waiting from now on for VAR

goal

nil 3

It's just silly how good City are. And this is just match week 1 when they aren't fully at it yet.

Think this season will be much like last at the top of the table, though I think City will win the title by more than 1 point this time.

I really really don't like VAR.

I'm going to be too paranoid to celebrate any goal that involves runs in behind, ruins part of the beauty for me.

I feel sorry for anyone who still try to deny Pep is a great manager, it must take some serious mental gymnastics.

But he needs best players in every position for his system to work. Put Mourinho or Conte in Crystal Palace they would finish seventh or eight, Pep would get relegated.

Man VAR is going to be interesting on penalty

Conte would spend his whole time moaning about how shit they are and calling the owner a cunt for not bankrupting them with expensive signings.

City is what we were supposed to be if we aren't run by idiots last ten years...

Conte won the league with Alonso, Moses... Pep have 50m full backs on the bench.

they are so good they really (other than depth for rest or another injury) will not even truly miss Sane for the next 6 or 7 months, and it gives Mahrez, who looks cracking over the summer (led Algeria to the AFCON trophy) a true run-in

must be nice to be two deep with WC or near WC players, ffs

Both are vey good wb though. 

[Vesper 29,144]

hat trick Sterling, he may get 30 this year (or more)

if Neymar stumbles I think he is on verge of being best LW in the world (only Hazard would give him a run), unless you count Mbappe as a LW (he is more of a CF now)

[Tomo 21,733]

The level City are at now is even more incentive to build something more sustainable as the quick fixes we went for under Conte and especially Mourinho just won't work now.

Thankfully Pep will be gone in 1/2 years so let's make sure we're the ones to pounce when the times comes.
