VAR official: “yo, come watch this video. This guy gets totally nailed in the face. So funny…. Wait what were we doing? Um… do a drop ball.”

Would it really change how we feel about his accomplishments? The Knocks against him are always the financial dominance his teams hold over the league, so finding out that the finances were fishy doesn’t really change that. I can’t imagine finding out that they used sketchy financials to fund the team changes how we feel about the on field product when we were aware that they’d spent a shitload anyway.
Maybe I’m just misunderstanding the charges.
He broke out right when every good player turned out to be Belgian
Dmitri Payet being the most exciting player every single week for like 18 months.
Michu’s half season was the most amazing hot stretch.
Otherwise, I just want to name some random ass people who were amazing for a second. Adnan Januzaj carrying Man United. Ravel Morrison being a legend for 15 minutes. Papiss Cisse’s brace vs Chelsea was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen
It’s early enough and there enough bad teams that they could survive, whereas if this happened the last couple seasons, it would have killed them.
As a Chelsea fan, I’m worried they’ll deliberate long enough that the punishment will get levied without enough time to escape
Scoring only 9 goals with that rate seems bad
People love to misuse statistics and then blame analysts for them. Like the xG charts that had Chelsea around fourth and commentators would see it and mock chelsea fans for clinging to some belief that we were the fourth best team in England which nobody said.
One stat isn’t the whole conservation. It’s a point of evidence in an argument and gives you a basis to look deeper. Underperforming your xG once is “shit happens”, but as a trend, means you look deeper into why you aren’t capitalizing on general play
I could see the ref missing it, but the linesman is on that side of the pitch. How could he miss it
This kid doesn’t feel anything. Been ice cold
It looks really ugly, but not sure I’d give that a red. Doesn’t appear to lunge aggressively or be in an unnatural position. Harsh call
Yea, teams like chelsea are out here buying the league right now
Ref standards and VAR standards have been atrocious this season.
