Are you kidding? VAR is creating reality tv levels of drama every week and the media is doing their best to amplify it. I’m almost tempted to believe VAR is deliberately bad to generate such drama.

The people whining about removing it will continue to whine about decisions going against them when it’s gone. It’s a no-win situation.

We’re freeeeeeee, free falling.

Our bench is lite af and the last 3 results are confirmation of that.

Strip Spurs of all their trophies, raze the stadium to the ground and salt the earth. A 10 point deduction is all the rage these days so throw one of those in as well.

I’d recommend Guardian Football Weekly for general coverage and The Football Ramble and The Rest is Football for pure entertainment.

Unlikely for City to get two red cards but you never know.

Are you looking for a competitive game or a stadium experience?

Craven Cottage is one of the great classic English stadiums and Spurs’ stadium is a modern marvel. Either would be great as far as experiences go.

West Ham v Brighton has the best chance of being a good watch, they’re more evenly matched and they both play good football. Fulham v Arsenal has potential as a London derby but I expect Arsenal to dominate.

Billionaires have ruined football. Pep can do what he does because he has unlimited funds to build his squad. I’m not denying he’s talented but he’s never had to work with a limited budget.

Do they have a squad that’s good enough for the Premier League? Their transfer spending says otherwise.

They spent £95 million on players this year (net) but the highest fee they paid was £16 million. Their total payroll is just under £36 million. There wasn’t a single established Premier League player signed.

That’s not a team built to compete in this league but it’s better than the one that won promotion comfortably last season. If they’re relegated the parachute payments will allow them to keep the squad intact to compete for promotion again, for a season or two.

If their plan is to be a yo-yo club and incrementally improve the squad then it doesn’t make sense to sack the manager, at least not this season.
