It is clear corruption and SKY are absolutely involved. The two dickheads on commentary, one an ex rag captain, knew 90 seconds in advance that Howard Webb’s dodgy squad had found a collision to scrutinise from a thousand angles and that a penalty would be given. They started sowing the narrative, ooh, aah, looks like a problem, hey presto penalty given. Clear foul at the other end, directly resulting in a rag goal, nothing to see here, move on. It is not even subtle, corruption happening in front of our eyes.

You are right 100%

It's blatant and it's in clear view and as much as it winds me the fuck up, I have one solace.

Despite the help they get from PiGMOL, Sly Sports, Gary Neville and the rest of the British broadcasting media they've still only managed to pick up one point from a possible six so far this season.

Despite all the same advantages they enjoyed last season they finished 15th.

So I would say things are looking up.

Terrible. A re-run of the Arsenal match. The ball was repeatedly lumped into wide areas and then lumped into the box. They were playing for set pieces and corners like a lower league team. Then they brought Maguire on and started lumping even more balls into the box along with long throw-ins. They are incredibly bad. I am not changing my view they will be battling relegation all season. One of the radio pundits repeated the myth that they "have quality players." Most of their players are shite and nowhere near PL level. They will never move on till they realise this. Happy days.

To be fair their 2 marquee signings Mbeumo and Cunha came from clubs staving off relegation every season so should have experience in fighting the drop.
 
Interesting stat gents. All these attacking signings and Altir Bayandir is the only Rags player to create a big chance in the PL this season!

Anyone who doesn't believe that **** Neville on comms doesn't have an influence on VAR is deluded. Definitely needs looking at.

Sky profit enormously from the rags "success" in the premier league.

I would argue that their whole business model has a critical dependency on them and liverpool.

A clear and obvious commercial conflict of interest.

It is definitely suspicious that the broadcasters can hear the debate in the VAR room but the paying customers on TV and in the stadium can't. The broadcasters provide the replay feed to the VAR officials so presumably the VAR team can also hear the broadcast feed and be influenced by comments made by the commentary team. There is no transparency in the process. Why has the system not been explained to the viewing public? Why can't we see what happens in the VAR room. It really does smell of corruption.
