There will be a number of Spurs supporters who are happy that they lost to Man City.

My best mate back in England sent me this message last night after Spurs lost. Spurs fan.😂 But of course I want West Ham to win.💪

Just get rid of it. Referees made mistakes for but at least we won't have to wait five minutes for them to make them.

I think if it looked as if VAR was virtually never wrong then I would lean to keeping it but....

It's wrong less often than referees. It's actually physically impossible for a referee and linesmen to judge an off side decision.

It's not as if, in the days before VAR, everybody accepted the referees decisions. There was plenty of whining about them and for those people who want rid of VAR, I would say "fine, but don't ever question the referee again".

Will West Ham be able to do Arsenal a solid today, that's assuming Arsenal win today as well? I don't really like seeing other London clubs win but I hate the idea of City winning again too.

And another trophy chance slips away from Harry Kane

The only sure way City don't win next season.

Frankly, I think it's unlikely.

Chastening season for the sides promoted into the Premier League.

Given it was only theoretically possible for Luton to stay up on the last day due to Forest's point deduction, I have to wonder if teams coming up are thinking that it may be worth breaching the financial rules if it increases their chance of staying up even at the risk of points deductions.

I don't think we need to read too much into one season. TBH I am surprised that it doesn't happen more often.

'West Ham appoint Lopetegui as Moyes' replacement' - not a surprise but gives him the chance to properly get involved in transfers.

WTAF? Why are Newcastle, gubbed 8-0, and Spurs, playing Friday, doing this? Surely the money can't be worth it?

Review of the Saudi season

That seemed to be as much about which stars in their twilight years could be signed for how much as actual football. Most teams don't even seem to be getting English league one attendances.
