I know it's the FA Cup, but PL teams and red are involved.

The best referee in the PL, Michael Oliver used the pitch side monitor to help him today. Upgraded a yellow card to a red card, and the correct decision. He was not afraid to correct his original mistake and change it due to help from VAR. Which is good to see.

Might get to see it more in the PL. Hodgson actually alluding to the suggestion that the PL instruct referees to not use the monitor, and so was allowed to use it in the FA cup.

Ex ref Bobby Madley made a blog post on var and how he thinks its going today. Makes reference to that incident in it. Said its the first time a ref has said he didn't see a possible red card and therefore he went to the screen. Its not a directive for the fa Cup, just the first time that particular event has happened and would be the same outcome if it had happened in the premier league.

Its a very long read but its interesting if anyone is arsed.

As I've said before, I think there is a case for a combined United and Liverpool thread instead of the separate ones. Or a general United/Liverpool thread and a separate general rest of the League thread where they can't be discussed.

I agree any other thread like this descends into the same back and forth so given the nature and fan makeup of the forum it'd be good to isolate them (I'm one of them)

Potential Underachiever

I've asked the question before but don't think I've got a reply. Is there a different charter for this General thread than the Superthreads? People seem to have carte blanche to WUM and Troll and generally post stuff like 'haha Utd' or 'haha Liverpool' without seemingly any moderation. Is this some sort of safe haven from the don't be a dick rule?

I've been reading the thread over the last few months and the Utd/Pool thing will always happen in this kind of thread as mostly neither fans will go into each others Superthreads.
What I have noticed is the posters who have been thread banned from the main Superthreads use this one to get their thoughts out and those thoughts are usually what got them thread banned in the first place.
It is a fine line and I think they know what they are doing and nearly daring the moderators to do something about it.
The bickering between rival fans about who is the best or worst is part of football it can be overbearing at times and it can be fuuny to the neutrals at times as well.

ferdinand made a great point about pogba last week, he said when he was at that charity game in France, the club would have known then he was injured and out of the Arsenal game and thats why he was allowed to travel there

Very well put

Interesting fixtures this weekend.

Ill give my patented Game of the Round (trademark symbol pending) to Leicester v Southampton.

I predict a 5-5 draw; with Ings and Vardy getting 5 each.

i think liverpool will beat them easily 2 or 3 nil. spurs have been very poor since jose took over and now kane is out injured as well

Baggly

Everton & Brighton is another good one i think.

I would think they would be central to any effort, yep. Spurs have done well without Kane in the past.....But they dont look as solid as they have done in years past.

actually looking at fixtures there are a lot of good games, arsenal away to palace as well

Spurs have been conceding at an alarming rate against everyone, hard to see past a big Liverpool win.

and on top of that they cant hold onto the ball, jose will def set up the double decker bus but they will concede and then will have to come out and play and liverpool will pick them off with ease

He played them 5 times as United manager 1win 3 draws and 1 loss

He is one of the very few managers who has consistently shown he can get a result against Liverpool by setting up tactically to frustrate them which is like Ferguson teams in big games

He has yet to get them performing defensively and I fancy Liverpool given both teams form but I don't think they will pick them off with ease

Plenty of 2-0 games are decent.

Rashford wins player of the month
Good choice

He's been a bright spark to our awful season as a whole

LineOfBeauty

If/when Spurs go a goal down, I wonder if Jose will have them open up and chase it or will he try to keep it tight til like 10 minutes to go and then throw everything at it. I think he will be worried about a hammering and might not view a 1-0 or 2-0 loss as all that bad.

Did Ole win manager of the month?

Edit: just looked at the Premier League website and Rashford wasn't nominatied for POTM?

Was that a different award, as Rashford was not nominated for the official Player of the Month award.

TAA, Buendia, DCL, KDB, Foster, Ings, Traore & Vardy were the nominees.

You know that you can support a team and not be biased towards them in everything.. the poster in question might think that there is an alternative that deserved it more on merit not club allegiances..

Threadbans are obviously good for the thread in question and it's participants but I think this thread proves it just moves the problem elsewhere.

I assume ridinger will get his hearing aid fixed before his next game!

Not a sausage found to back up his claim officially.

I nearly gave up supporting my team in the 80s/early 90s for the racist abuse, it was vile - today ther is zero tolerance to any form of racism , unless you are Irish, that still seams ok.

It's a brand new stadium and I'm sure they've state of the art surveillance system in place so very hard to not see someone being caught if there was evidence available.
