They are playing Salieri to City's Mozart and they fucking hate it. They can't understand how it happened, but all empires crumble in the end, often because of the complacency or vainglory of their leaders. Or because the world changes and makes them untenable.

In 1901, Britain had the largest empire the world had ever seen, with vast reserves of gold stacked up in the Bank of England. It was the world's leading military power. Look at us now. Times change, and what was once unassailable disappears and becomes something different altogether.

Ten Bob says he always wins trophies, fair enough and I hope they keep backing him as they continue their slide down the Premier League and pins their hopes on the League Cup or maybe even the FA Cup like so many other mid-table teams. If they continue on their current trajectory they'll be in a relegation battle at the end of the season and then maybe next year he can try to win the Championship Trophy? It's quite funny 8-)

Or maybe in five years or so, they could emulate us and win the League One playoff trophy.

Almost definitely not. They’ve overturned it because the rags appealed. You’d need a club to request a player of another to be given a retrospective ban presumably and the answer would be ‘no. The ref and var made their decision’

This is where its all fucked up.

There seems a clear split of opinion on this with people on both sides of the fence of if this should have been a sending off or not.

They have set a mad precident where the Ref makes a call, it is reviewed by VAR and upheld and then the PL overturn the decision.

There is no method in the madness.

Are they going to pass it on to the argie dwarf for his two footed jump tackle that injured a Palace player ??

This is what I am getting at, surely if the Rags can successfully appeal an on field decision that is backed up by VAR, it then must open up the possibility of Palace in this instance appealing the decision not to award a red. And seek a retrospective Red card.

The PL are no longer fit for purpose (they haven't been for a long time), every week they find another way of proving their incompetenece.

Hopefully their legal team are just as incompetent :)

Well it was a rag player that was involved, so that would be the reason aspect resolved.

The powers that be have simply proved that their own system is seriously fucking flawed after hyping the benefits of VAR intervention.

Oh and the game is fucked in order to help the sinking ship , which is actually beyond help, a fault of their own making!
