Pelligrini Gone from West Ham....David Moyes likes this

Inevitable. Not sure if Moyes is the answer although he did well in his last spell and I thought he deserved another year anyway.

It's almost 2020, David Moyes is not the answer for any Premier League club

And Spurs end up with a point gifted to them by a dreadful VAR call. 

Great advert for the game. 

Problem is they cant change how VAR operates halfway through a season, so they're now bound to judge every offside the way they currently are until next season

I disagree. He's the answer for West Ham. That means we can't appoint him.

Youd be daft to sack Smith, his hands are surely tied by the fact he apparently has almost no say in exact players getting signed.

He is making the same mistakes match after match. The players look devoid of any confidence and he never knows how to change things when things are going against us. I really like him. But if he stays we are down. If we replace him we could go down, but not taking a chance is a guarantee of relegation.

they could swallow their pride, admit it's utter shit and just draw a line under the thing completely...

the only thing worse than VAR in the professional game at the present time are those fucking flags behind the goals when arsenal and wolves score at home...

Today was the start of the second half of the season - everyone has played everyone else once (West Ham v Liverpool outstanding), so they could have decided that for the return games they would adopt a more 'sensible' approach to offside.

Has it really been explained why they departed from only "clear and obvious" in the first place?

Offside has never been subject to "clear and obvious". And what would a 'sensible' approach look like anyway?

The game is football not fucking armball - so why are they including fucking arms in VAR offside decisions?

They're not fucking including arms in offside decisions.

They're not fucking including arms in offside decisions.
They might not be but the Pukki one in this round of fixtures and in particular the one at Brighton are so close (and the margin off error about when the ball is kicked so narrow) that it looks as though they are deciding on where the arm ends and the chest/shoulder/armpit starts as being the threshold for an offside call. In previous years, even when looking along the line with a camera after the game, all three decisions today would have been said to have shown the attacker level with the last man and onside (at worst, Pukki looked well onside from the still shown).

They cant change how it works halfway through a season, it wouldnt be fair.

Is it fair that Norwich get treated with harsher laws in a home game against Tottenham than an away one?

That looked like another bad VAR decision - a foul every day of the week on Grealish - that being said Villa were utter dogshite.

Theres no way that's a foul. Firstly, there's absolutely no contact. Secondly, he doesn't obstruct him. Grealish run out of options and tried to buy a foul and as such, was lucky not to be booked himself.

From the stills, Pukki's shoulder was offside. You can score with your shoulder. Pukki = offside. It's mental but it's exactly what people wanted.
