You have to wonder if it's corruption. You really really do. There's incompetence and then there's PL officiating. Anyway, we scored. So go fuck yourself VAR. Go and fuck right off.

Hilarious stuff.

There we go.

Hang on lads. It is a clear pen. As clear as last week though.

Oh go fuck yourself.

Joelinton has had a few poor moments but overall having him back has made a massive difference. His energy in midfield is unmatched.

No card. Muppet.

That motherfucka better be getting a card at the next stoppage. That's like five fouls since half time.

That's another dive.

2-0 Chelsea. And fuckin' right as we concede too. God damn it.

Just saw the Chelsea goal. Centre back scores from his own half.

Hall looking better every week now. He's a talent for sure.

Embarrassing tackle from Toney. Weak-willed loser.

And again.

Fuck yeah. Isak with a monster ball.

Great play Bruno. Perfect ball.

Open goal.

Hospital pass from Burn. Brentford do look asleep so if we manufacture a loss here then it'll be a result of shit like that.

Dodged a bullet there. That was super close and completely insignificant.

Which team is on the beach already? Fuck me.

They'll end up in a scandal of some description at some point during Boehly's ownership around FFP avoidance for sure. The rule manipulation and general dodginess going on in the public eye must be nothing compared to what they are doing behind closed doors away from prying eyes.

Completely agree it should be scrapped bar for automated offside checks and goal line tech. VAR is useless. I've complained til I'm blue in the face over this shit that VAR is only as useful as the people using it and the people using it are objectively useless. Like Gemmers said, let's just return to one useless idiot making decisions on the pitch and move on with our lives on that basis. At this point any illusion that VAR contributes to making the game fairer for clubs outside the elect (e.g., ManU, Liverpool, PSG et al) should be forgotten. Let's just get on with football, return to celebrating a goal when it's scored. VAR is an outgrowth of every referees latent delusion that they have the magical god-like capacity to make objectively correct decisions in a game of football. Let's forget that and get back to reality, shall we? The only thing we know for sure about football is that referees are universally an embarrassment to their family, have no friends, and carry a chip on their shoulder from years of being last picked on the playground. VAR check confirmed.

I'm in the same boat. There's no doubting his quality. What is interesting will be if clubs are in for him again in the window to see what we do. There's obviously a point at which getting a fee and wages off the books for an aging, possibly declining player, becomes a value proposition worth considering.

Yep. I'm hopeful that Tonali can buck the trend when it comes to Italians in the PL. I think a full season away from the pressures of week-to-week PL fixtures could have interesting effects. It's pure hope obviously but I hope he takes this past twelve months and really makes the most of it. If we can start next season with a midfield trio of Joelinton-Bruno-Tonali then anything is possible.

100%, aimaad. We are only a few quality signings from having a team that can realistically set 4th as the target at the start of the season next year. If we can magic up a few signings of the calibre of Gordon, Bruno, Isak, Botman (pre-injury) by the start of the season (and add some depth with the likes of the rumoured Tosin and Kelly signings) then anything could happen.
