We just gotta spend another billion.

I don’t know, Todd has to save some money for Ohtani.

Chump change compared to the stadium rebuild.

Barca probed for alleged bribery in Negreira case

Barcelona have been charged with suspected bribery for payments worth over €7m made to companies linked to the former VP of the refereeing committee.

Wow. $7m Euro ($7.3Mish US) to one of the head of the Referees group.

Barcelona claims it was just for 'technical reports' which seems pretty damn extravagant charge for such a thing and likely bullshit.

Ya love to see it.

Down one in the 87th and this clown puts on Maguire and van de Beek.

Making Lampard look like Pep.

Bighuge upset at Molineaux

City lose, Utd lose, 4-0 win for us. Yay.

Luton get their first ever PL win over… Everton. Not such a bighuge upset but still.

City lose, Utd lose, 4-0 win for us. Yay.

Almost a perfect day

Premiere league continues to do its best to discredit itself as the best league in the world.

I stupidly started Estupinan away to Villa (a good team) instead of Andersen away to Man United (a bad team). Cost me 17 FPL points.

Rofl these refs

[trostol]

this is some shit going on in this game

 

[Halladay]

I dont think the EPL knows this match is being shown all around the world. See how big of clowns they are.

 

[BigToe]

That's so lucky

 

[Starat327]

Shirt off is a yellow, no?

 

[Halladay]

It's Tottenham, they have basically won nothing in their entire club history. let them celebrate this larceny.

 

[Jack Straw]

Peter Drury is so annoying. So over the top.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Bringing on Skipp and Davies was certainly an interesting choice.

It went in our favor today but PL VAR has to be the worst implemented video review system/competence I've ever seen. No other league or sport gets it wrong so consistently. I think the red card was acceptable but that second Liverpool goal certainly seems onside.

Only reason I don't feel too bad about it is it's almost certain at some point a similar type call will go against Spurs later in the season.

 

[Halladay]

An orange card that was red. Can understand that.

Barely checking the goal by Diaz that looked on and they didnt show a line.

The 1st yellowcard to Jota that led to him being sent off.

The writers are back in hollywood! Scripted.

 

[Jack Straw]

It's a shame that a game that was so anticipated turned out the way it did.The only thing I really care about for this season is to see Spurs playing an aggressive attacking style so three points here doesn't mean much. There were some good things but when Liverpool went down 2 men Spurs looked anemic.

PGMOL should maybe stop just acknowledging errors and maybe, I don't know...? Fix them?

If you arent going to use VAR and get it right, dont have it all. They cost liverpool a clear goal. It seems like based on their apology they didnt even review it . Though this isnt the first time VAR has gotten it wrong. Very annoying.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Now imagine watching that happen to your team. On your birthday.
