The EFL rules are better drafted than the PL ones the EFL can charge PL clubs with punishments, unlike the PL’s inability to charge EFL clubs we’ve successfully proven that we were an EFL club not a PL club. Therefore EFL can and probably will charge us. the only thing that’s uncertain is what thresholds will apply to us and when the punishment will apply (the EFL cannot apply a punishment whilst we’re in the PL)

This keeps coming up and I keep giving the same answer: How does that work in practice? The PL and PGMOL are separate entities. So there’s a deliberate, formalised conspiracy to give us bad decisions, that involves 10s and 10s of people and 0 whistleblowers or leaks? For clarity: I agree with your wider point that the subconscious bias that favours the 'big' clubs has been exacerbated/highlighted by VAR.

Don't disagree, but given that JJ isn't playing as a RB that is instructed to go up and down all the time (in contrast to VK) then why can't Ricardo play there? It seems to me that (rightly or wrongly) Cooper likes us to shift to 3 CB when in possession, and JJ is preferred as a 3rd CB to Ricardo

Thing is, based on the lines they created in the check, the system told them it was onside - hence their confidence in overturning the on field decision. The real question is, based on the various angles shown that look dodgy, did they put the lines in the correct place?

Just caught up on the Championship - didn't realise Leeds were down in 8th. Are they having another "We'd be Top if it wasn't for August" season?

Had this occurred in the Spurs - Arsenal game, they'd still be analysing it now!

Think most people agree that was fine. Tielemans got the ball. The 2nd one, the ref gave it, but Vardy was offside

Think there's an optical illusion here though right? If you compared the positions/silhouettes of Mateta, Faes and Okoli, between the 2 pics, they're all in the same position. The line looks a lot closer to all 3 of them in the wider shot than in a closer shot. This new angle looks dodgy AF though!

This is exactly my point. Most people here have been watching the sport for decades and yet still jump to uninformed opinions before a ball has been kicked...

Entire match thread was going mental that he was in the team when the lineups were announced...

I guess Foxestalk thinks it should be something like: Fatawu > Ayew Buononotte / El Khannous > Ndidi Ricardo > Justin ???

I’m just saying it’s not correct to say there’s no attacking threat

Apart from Vardy, Ayew and Mavididi?

This is the Match Thread in a nutshell
