  • Once again, the problem is not with VAR.

    It’s the corrupt officials facilitating the use of VAR who are the problem. It’s the people behind the tech.

    The technology itself is absolutely fine in most other domestic/continental competitions and the referees overseeing it very rarely make gargantuan mistakes like those in England do.

    As soon as people wake up and actually direct their frustration towards the footballing body and its dirty hands, we might get somewhere.


  • Top 6 used to be a thing, and it was largely down to the consistency of all 6 being ranked 1st-6th, albeit occasionally in a different order. You could have also considered the economical might of all 6 playing a part.

    But now Vila and Newcastle have ambitious, powerful squads, Brighton are making silly money from selling players and West Ham are mainstays in European competition…

    It’s baffling how that attitude hasn’t changed yet. Especially when you consider that Chelsea and United rarely know their heads from their arse.

    But if it wasn’t, ‘Top 6 vs the rest narrative’, the subreddit ‘Other 14’ would cease to exist.
