They wouldn't be comfortable,it's too simple to look at what they gained by directly,it's what the opponent in the games didn't get against them,our game with them it was painfully clear,you have to look at what we have been denied by it as well,next season they will either change var to be fairer across the board or just do the same again,we'll just have to wait and see
It's a mixture of reasons,var has featured quite heavily imoSee Rics post, sums it up best. If you think the league has been lost because of VAR then it’s pointless discussing football.
Win their game in hand and they’re 19 points ahead with 14 to play. They’ve had a few beneficial decisions go their way, but it’s not the reason why they’re going to piss the league this season.It's a mixture of reasons,var has featured quite heavily imo
Very magnanimous of you Ric, however, swap the officiating with them and ourselves this season, and things would be an awful lot closer. The last 2 times they have challenged us, we have been streaks ahead, however, the cheating ****s have still managed to bring it down to the last day. This season we haven't been firing on all cylinders, and well, we don't stand a chance.Yep. The simple fact is they’ve been comfortably the best team this season. Does us no favours constantly looking for excuses. Take it on the chin and move on. It’s only one season. We were better than them in the previous two (well, ten tbh). They’ve raised the bar in the league though and we need to use it as motivation next season.
I’d rather win the league cup than lose a champions league final....

Respectfully, I don’t really agree. This narrative of them being “cheating ****s” is a bit unfair and a touch disingenuous.Very magnanimous of you Ric, however, swap the officiating with them and ourselves this season, and things would be an awful lot closer.

Comments about oil money are one thing. The decisions on the field of play which control goals and outcomes are another. Fans make oil comments doesn’t affect outcomes. Officiating affects outcomes. The fact that decisions that have benefitted them or cost us have all come in games involving 3 refs usually in a pair one on pitch one on VAR is also interesting. Oliver, Taylor and Atkinson. Think about Spurs, Anfield, the Derby, the foul on Mendy vs Wolves. Think about the Leicester pens for Liverpool, the non-pen and red cards of VVD and Robertson and TAA in the Merseyside derby. Those 3 refs.Respectfully, I don’t really agree. This narrative of them being “cheating ****s” is a bit unfair and a touch disingenuous.
I would laugh at their forums and social media over the last few seasons when they’d drop thinly veiled racist tropes about “oil money” and bemoan our luck, whilst bitterly accusing us of doping via Dr Cugat. It smacked of sour grapes. It’d be hypocritical not to call out our own fans when we’re guilty of similar.
