    Okay everyone. We can now all take some deep breaths and unclench those buttholes! 😅

    But seriously, why do we have to make life so difficult for ourselves?! I know part of that was the drama in the last few minutes. But we have the talent and the character to put these games to bed much sooner than that.

      West Ham drew city, too. They’re just better than we give them credit for. Whole league is, these days.

        They are a good side for sure. Still think we should have done better against them, but that’s true for several other of our matches this season. But I’m not trying to take anything away from the Hammers. It’s kind of crazy that they’re in this relegation situation. They’re definitely no spurs, lol

        I think this is it. It’s amusing seeing comments about the weakness of the league this year. It’s the other way round.

        That shows too with the European cup situation. Had the other EPL clubs in UCL the same kind of competition and run the Euro teams have a weren’t so tired Tory probably would have gone further into those finals as well.

          I saw a stat recently that said if Burnley was in La Liga, based on match metrics / how they performed in the PL they would be in the top half of that table.

    OH MY

    Finally VAR doesn’t fuck us.

    Raya basically gets clotheslined, impeded from raising both of his arms by someone literally holding his wrist and a massive shirt pull and there’s conjecture. Unbelievable.

    I might do some day drinking after that one, if only to unclench my butt cheeks.

    That is, I’m certain, the biggest decision PGMOL have made since the VAR mistake that relegated Sheffield United

      I have been well critical of several refs. Though I still want to see more angles and watch it over so so so many times before I would ever be sure, I think my respect for Kavanagh and England have gone up massively. Not just for making that call, but to have the balls to make that call in such an important goal for both ends of the table to favour the away team after the on-field decision was a goal.

    So I woke up while Ben White was being treated and thought yep, every single time I watch a fuckin match I curse this team.

    I watched till after half time and my curse setting in, so on 47 minutes I went fuck this, I have to remove my curse for the team and not watch the rest.

    True to form, it worked. This sucks for me because I miss the moments but it gets results for the team and that’s what matters.
