S9M11: Enough to Say

I'm not sure where to start this week. Quite a lot happened...

Friday night saw a scarcely believable 9-0 away win - Leicester scored from only 15 shots on target...a mad conversion rate and were against 10 men for 80 minutes but even so...they're flying...

Next, Man City dispatched Villa, whilst the Everton revival lasted all of a week. Points were shared at Vicarage Road and the publicly-funded complete public sector fiasco that is West Ham's tenancy of the Olympic Stadium. Guess who's blog isn't doing purdah...

Chelsea remembered they had a signing they were allowed to play, so played him and rescued a win from an otherwise 2-1 defeat at Burnley. FIFA should investigate.

Then came Sunday. Which usually follows Saturday. Bizarre.

Let's do the easy one - Newcastle drew with Wolves.

Then the late kick offs - Man Utd won comfortably and still managed to miss 2 penalties. Are they back? I think, just, just, just, that this was also the first of the VAR overturns, about 30 seconds before the higher profile VAR overturn at the Emirates, which turned a 2-0 lead into a nervy 2-1 to take into half time. The 2nd VAR controversy ruled out a late winner (and a career first double for Sokratis) for an invisible foul - I've spoken before about how poor the implementation of VAR has been, and I'm not sure it's worth covering again, but being in the stadium and hearing random bits of official comms over the PA system but basically being left in the dark for a few minutes is no bueno. That's not even going into whether the decisions reached are correct. I'm a VAR advocate in principle but they've had a shocker....

It's not an Arsenal blog so will leave the Xhaka chat for my personal Twitter feed

Liverpool also came from behind - Salah scored his 2nd penalty in 5 months against Spurs to send them back empty handed. Again. ROFL.

Everyone's results:

We had some chat about people being left off the graph last week. I've looked into this. All the data points are there but for some reason, names are left off and it just leaves spaces (why some columns have no name next to them). So basically, its broadly speaking in alphabetical order from AD to WOD but if anyone knows how to fix it on google sheets that's be great, otherwise I'll go back to Excel which is a pain
