Jambo92 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Prem league is very poor league these days from a natural point of view, not sure whats the cause - could be any of these: teams petrified of losing games as managers sacked so quickly/fear of dropping out the league and losing all their money. Zero genuine rivalry, doesn't appear to be any aggression or passion from players, every game is so subdued, players look dead behind eyes from their 250k a week wages.

John Findlay Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 All this game has proved to me is that VAR officials get it incorrect. Was a penalty for Arsenal in the first half. Not given. Penalty for Man City second half given. VAR should be scrapped forthwith as it is not being used in the manner it was brought in for. It's use in the EPL has been a farce since its inception.
