I think a lot of fans would have conflicted feelings, have debates about what outcome is preferable etc.

The way they actually went to the game to cheer City on and take joy in their loss is something else. There’s some suggestion that Bentancurs reaction was down to the embarrassment, which didn’t occur to me at the time. But thinking about it, imagine being a professional football or manager and having to put up with that shit from your own fans.

Mind you, if you’re Son, I guess being a serial loser has been ingrained into you.

The leagues should forget about reforming VAR for now and reform probity at PGMOL instead.

Something obvious has been going on. Broadcasters figured out contentious decisions engage viewers so they're now a focus of vision, commentary and analysis.

Referees as the heroes and villains of these decisions are wanting to slyly cut themselves a slice of the action: celebrity profiles, airtime and money. It's unsound, unseemly and riddled with moral hazard. Cut out the dead wood, give referees a raise and shut them up.

QuincyAbeyie The "Big Six" is a longitudinal thing that remains relevant even though Villa and Newcastle have spent a few bob and improved for two seasons.

I want a "game-raising cunts" table where points are scaled appropriately by the season-long average points-per-game-against of each opponent, let's say you only get 3 / 2.4 = 1.25 points for a win against an opponent that's offered up 2.4 points on average.

As things stand, West Ham have zilch to play for Sunday. They can get their bums handed to them on a silver platter by the 115 count cheats.

    Qwiss That level of prima donna behaviour is laughable any time. Just see out the season and part ways. Man's a joke, that's why he went to Spurs and then acted like he hadn't done it. All hair and no trousers.

    Clrnc The Emery factor isn't it? He's very good at preparing for specific matches and pulling something out of the hat.

    Antony Gordon is miles better than the likes of Garnacho and half the left wingers people do be wishlisting on here

    Three and a half years older is quite a lot at that age.

      That's poor goalkeeping

      Son Heung Min is a name that will live in infamy

      Claudius it's Moyes last game, you'd hope they would want to give him a good send off #clutchingatanything

      I thought so at the time. It’s so tight that there’s no way they could have checked it that quickly.

      I don’t have the energy to get annoyed over it though.
