My Gary Neville hate-watch suddenly sparked into life.
Outrageous goal from Rogers. Not gonna push up their xG tally by much.

Combat sports continues to spread joy the weekend before Xmas.
Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.
This is glorious. 🔥

I think modern football is corrupt but when it comes to officials, it's incompetence that is the issue.
The fact they spent so long looking at our goal yet rushed through Liverpool's second is maddening.
If theirs was correctly ruled out, there's no yellow for Romero and at 1-0 we had a chance.

I suppose the weekend hasn't been a total disappointment.

All these VAR decisions going in Arsenal's favour. Saliba kicks Barry. It's a foul, so a penalty.
Honestly. They are so, so bad.

Just seen Frank's post-match stuff. Nice to see him call out the officials when they get major decisions wrong. Sometimes we, as a club, can be too nice. These errors cost teams points, managers their jobs, potentially millions of pounds. And most are rubbish even with all the help they're given.

Sturridge thought Romero wasn't fouled yet believes Gyokeres was.

It tells you how bad Neville's take on the Ekitike foul was that Alan Smith even acknowledged it was a hard shove. But we all know Gary can't ever admit he was wrong.

Self-inflicted goal for their opener. Romero is fouled for their second. He's a bozo for reacting after getting a free freekick.
In the end, we could have grabbed a point. But losing your heads isn't going to help. Thought Brennan (more defensively, ha) & Pigeon made a difference as we went direct.

I never want to see this guy referee our matches. Way out of his depth.

These officials, and Neville, are a disgrace. A blatant foul.

Neville is awful. He knew what he was doing? Are you out of your mind? When your foot goes up, it has to come down. Jesus.

These are two really poor sides. The referee is super weak, a common theme these days, but Xavi is an idiot and fully deserved the red.
The ball over the top is on all day. Kudus frustrates me because he wants to drop off and take on his man when we need pace in behind. Brennan maybe?

Redknapp and Sturridge? Nice and balanced as always from Sky. Wonder if we'll get Carragher or Alan Smith on co-coms..

Can you give me your best reasons for being 'Frank In' right now? Not trolling, but feel free to if you want, I'm just curious. And try to avoid the blind faith ("Look at lego hair now") or not really an endorsement ("There's no one available") takes if possible. Just pro-Frank, por favor.

Xavi will not be the next Spurs manager. Just stop it. Let the silly rumours die on the other place, not run rampant here.

That was the quintessential Spurs performance of recent years. Almost arrogantly half-arsing every aspect of the game and getting it hilariously wrong. Not sure why the team, in various XIs & systems, feels this might work.
Forest are rubbish but we can't even string a few passes together. Wake up.
