To be honest I couldn't care less about the 'assists' statistic or XG or XGA etc etc. All dreamt up in the spirit of US sports like baseball. I just like watching good football and Fernandes isn't even in the top ten of Untied's players such as Scholes or Cantona etc
Or Djemba Djemba? Or Kleberson? Or Bebe? Or Cruyff jnr? Or, or, or etc etc.
 
The referee should be demoted. VAR did its job and advised the goal should be disallowed. Twat of a ref decided to ignore that advice. He should be sanctioned accordingly and fined his match fee.
What an absolute wanker that ref is.

Or given the next 3 games in the 26/27 season....... which is why he did it
The gpc ruled that place, no referee dare go against him...... nothings changed
 
First time I've seen that and honestly, it's quite clear cut that it should not have stood. The laws of the game a clear for all to see, like them or not, and so was the ball hitting his hand.

VAR not to blame on this one, it's all on Salisbury. What did he give as the reason for his decision on the field? Not enough hand?

It's worrying that this season we clearly see some officials going against the black and white laws, and others greying the text, when there really is no apparent need to justification to do it.

The premier league states it has anti corruption initiatives on place. I'm not suggesting clear corruption here , but I think it's time they showed what's behind those words and, given the value and stature of the premier league, the monies involved, I do think now is the time to launch a full, transparent, independent, investigation into potential corruption in the English game. Would be one hell for a documentary if they had cameras following the investigation, I bet Amazon Prime could market the hell out of that. If they find nothing, fantastic.
Salisbury said it was accidental, therefore should stand.
 
Funny they never ever call these referees out for being poor and the blokes on var poor! Swear it all depends on which football club the referee and var are involved in! Bias piss poor officiating!
But this time, the one on VAR wasn’t poor; he advised Salisbury to review his decision.

Salisbury was the one who made the bad decision.
 
Why diminish his accomplishment with a load of whataboutism and qualification?

The stat is the stat.
Because it's being used to claim that he should be player of the season, when in reality, he should be absolutely nowhere near an award like that. But this is it these days. Football judged entirely on stats.
 
So, since GPC left this is the difference in the PL (yes, I'm bored):

Points gained - 1,095 v 859 - we've amassed 236 more points
Goals scored - 1,158 v 783 - we've scored 375 more goals
Goals conceded - 441 v 568 - we've conceded 127 fewer goals

Fuck off you Rag cunts and Neville can fucking blow me the fucking skip licker.
 
Well well well
On the day news breaks about Pep and its City v Bournemouth, the BBC put Slymon Stone to task to “keep United relevant” and he delivers this…..

And the reason is because the Liverpool Thief would have been 80 on Friday. So fucking publish it on Friday!!!!!

I saw this story today and even by the BBC's Manchester United story obsession thought this was a bizarre one.

I'm in my 50's so George Best was before my time, so who do they think this story appeals to, the "yoot" of today view the 1990's as in the "olden days" (rightly so :)
