If Arsenal add Vik they'll do it next year

Cant see Citeh winning 5 in a row

Liverpool will be all at sea

Chelsea and United are shite

Outsiders, Tottenham? Ange is a good manager and they still have the Kane money to spend

There's still something about Arsenal's mentality - top at Christmas then immediately bottled it with 2 losses, only to regain the lead, get a draw at the Eithad and bottle it again at home to Villa.

To beat City in the title race you basically need to establish a lead in Feb and then win every single game remaining.

Can't see anyone outside of those two challenging next year. Chelsea and Spurs still need time, who knows how Slot will get on and United are a mess.

Arsenal really need to add Vik to their line up.

Also, just the 104 goals conceded by Sheff Utd this season. What a waste of a promotion spot.

There’s zero chance, unfortunately, it would make the PL a farce.

How did the second Arsenal goal not get ruled out for handball? Granted I'm only watching on a tablet screen, but it looked it?

Shows the farce of var. var officials saw it, ref looked at replay on screen but still a goal given.

I'm fairly certain they're going to be found guilty of at least some charges, hence why I say the punishment is going to be the cause of outrage

I thought that showed VAR working as it should for once.

Clear mistake by the ref. No VAR and that WOULD have gone down as a goal.

We have to accept that refs are human and do make mistakes from time to time.

And sometimes officials are unsighted and can miss things too, simply because they didn't see an incident.

This is the way VAR needs to be used.

Clear and obvious errors.

Haha, Gary Lineker is bound to crack that one on the first MOTD of next season

Bound to be a hangover, I think people outside of the Liverpool bubble will only start to realise how good Klopp was from next season onwards

La Liga will be playing matches abroad from 25/26 onwards. Goes to show how little value those teams see in their own fans. Wouldn't remotely shock me if and when the prem teams follow suit.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It was given as a goal. No VAR, that would have stood.

Refs are only human at the end of the day.

Can you imagine the backlash to that yesterday if there was no VAR and the goal was an equalising goal that resulted in Arsenal winning the Premier?

This is exactly how VAR should be used. Cut out all the other nonsense. Only focus on clear and obvious errors.

Yeah, fine, but that is VAR really isn't it,. except it's the ref looking at it himself, instead of other refs in a studio somewhere.

I would be all for that if that worked well.

Perfect use of VAR was in the L2 play off final yesterday if anyone watched it

no one would or even could bat an eyelid at it if that is how it was used as it would have been a disgrace if Crewe had have got that penalty

Yeah, that's what I'm saying mate, the VAR made no difference, it was given as a goal on the field & was not overturned by VAR.

Exactly. You watch that in real time and it looks a certain penalty doesn't it.

Slow motion proves the keeper never touched him.

It wasn't "clear & obvious" it was more ball to hand wasn't it? Sort of popped up an hit his hand rather than a deliberate control.

Not sacked apparently, the old mutual consent.

Straight swap I reckon.

They wouldn’t give him control over transfers, so it’s kind of just been a “Well off you go then” from Chelsea

odd, why not come to an agreement to get rid when they were shite as opposed to when he was getting it right

Soap opera of a football club Chelsea are
