S13M8: I Refuse

Country music has never really been my thing, but Wynn Stewart, may well be the official poster boy of the PGMOL. As lovers of the Bakersfield Sound will attest, Another Day Another Dollar is true in many ways.

Sorry. I meant VAR. Another day, another sodding VAR controversy. I just can't. I'm not going there again. It's BS.

I've spent quite a lot of time in my career working on protocols, human factors and communication. This lot seem to just make it up as they go along and I'm not having it. Bin them all off.

Still, there was other stuff to discuss. Villa. WTF is happening there. Arsenal clicked beautifully on the south coast gaining comfortable wins as did Newcastle and West Ham.

Annoyingly for my prevoiusly committed words, Luton seem determined to get more points than that Derby side. Annoyingly for Pep's dismissive words, that Korean Guy got the winner in a shock loss for Man City. Not a shock loss for Man Utd, who have lost 6 of their last 9 games in all comps. ETH for the first manager to be sacked?

Notts Forest drew with Brentford whilst Chelsea finally got a goal and, then another 60 seconds later to win the Fulham Broadway derby.

Sorry - I can't go into more detail about the Spurs-Liverpool win. 3 points for Spurs, but an absolute farce ruining the game. Though, to be fair, nobody forces Liverpool players to keep getting sent off. 4 in 7 PL games. Filthy.
