Brighton fixtures over next two months: Wolves (H) Luton (A) Palace (H) Spurs (a) Sheffield United (a) Everton (h) Fulham (a) Forest (h) I could see them getting 18-20 points out of those games so that's the team to be wary of imo. Bigging up of other teams on here can be bizarre. Other day somebody said our away form will mean Newcastke overtakes us in the table. Then also the Spurs, Brighton, Chelsea, United hysteria. Was similar in Championship days Is probably only 3 teams in the league better than us and with squads to sustain it and thats City, Liverpool and Arsenal and latter is arguable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see whether they end up taking their eye off the ball with Europe. Their form while playing European matches was more patchy earlier in the season.

maqroll Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Erm, fairly obvious penalty at the death, not even checked. Again, what's the point of VAR if it's application is unpredictable and it's parameters are arbitrary? They should either scrap VAR or make it completely reliant on AI.

United at all. All too far back with many issues in their teams. West Ham with a few injuries will drop points like today. Brighton though have no europe until mid March, are getting key players back from injury now and they played really well over xmas v Spurs and West Ham so I could see them going on a decent run given they're pretty much playing everyone in the bottom half. All we need to do is start winning some games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 21 Moderator Share Posted January 21 Yep - got a second look - I'm surprised that wasn't given as a penalty at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh, so we are already taking it that Tottenham will be ahead of us. The media have definately brainwashed a few of us on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously missed by quite a few but you obviously said this as McBurnie soon scored after the original post. So the hope being they all score next game.

Yes he's not looking at the ball but I don't see the contact that causes Bowen to go down flopping like he's been shot? He's falling backwards with barely any contact, it looks like total simulation to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Some very questionable decisions in the Madrid game now. Having been two up, Almeria concede a penalty for handball (after VAR review) despite two attackers clattering into the defender deemed to handle the ball. Almeria then score a third goal, but VAR interject again for a ‘foul’ way way down the pitch and its disallowed. Madrid then equalise, but Vinicius Jr handles the ball - again VAR involved but the goal stands… we thought our lot were corrupt/incompetent but the Spanish are the real deal for dodginess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
