Chelsea get their obligatory home draw against lower league opponents.

Yeah drew with Spurs.

Rodgers changed 5 players for tonight’s starting 11.

 

Not like him to be over confident and come a cropper. 

 

That Leicester side is probably stronger than the Liverpool side he sent to Madrid, to be fair.

[Moctezuma]

Has anyone counted the statistical likelihood of us consistently drawing premier league teams in this round for the past 4/5 years or however long it's been?

[Harry Squatter]

Marine when they were making the draw:

Chicken Dinner's West Ham take the lead again, against Villa.

Looking at these results and the table, we are doing a mighty mighty good job - given our injury circumstances and the VAR lottery - to be equal top after 10 games.

A fucking mighty good job.

Abysmal refereeing again.

 

Villa dive, and he blows the whistle.

 

Unwatchable.

[Lee909]

Looks like Villa used up 6 years luck against us

 

Fucking cunts, every fucking thing they hit went in, even if it was going wide

Had plenty of luck tonight. Deflected goal and a soft as shit pen 

[polymerpunkah]

Trezeguet takes a boot to the face and they miss the penalty.

 

Even God can't take Villa's diving.

Not watching

Just going by 14 shots on goals according to the bbc and missed pen etc

[Strontium]

Quite right that penalties are awarded for shirt pulls in the box, it's the only way that chickenshit bollocks will be stamped out.

[polymerpunkah]

It's been a decent match--WHam take the lead early in each half and Villa try to pull back.

 

But Villa, and Grealish in particular, are an embarassment with the constant diving.

[Stickman]

When you get shite like this on the BBC sports page is it any wonder there is are many penalties

Former England and West Ham defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

I think Declan Rice had a tiny piece of his shirt. He has a little bit of the bottom of his shirt. Trezeguet goes down very easily. There's not enough force to take him down.

Is that enough? When you pull someone's shirt in the box, it's a foul - they don't have to fall over.

 

Ha and Villa have a goal disallowed ...Wonder how many Villa fans think VAR is funny now 

[s(k)aturation]

 

So much for Villa's luck.

 

[Scott_M]

More absolutely bullshit VAR line drawing.

It really is a fucking scandal.

The end of a game is played out on a Nintendo screen.

 

We get what we deserve in this world though, I guess.

 

 

[Manny]

VAR is making me feel sorry for Villa and seriously, fuck that shit.

[manwiththestick]

It's all a bunch of arse. All enjoyment gone, VAR, crap officiating, fixture congestion, injuries and empty stadiums. The game is now a husk of what it was. 

[s(k)aturation]

 

Now West Ham are 5th.

 

That's the thing isn't it - this VAR thing can keep 10 teams in the mix.

 

It's here to stay.

Would that be on or off under the Dutch model?

[polymerpunkah]

How can they claim to have got that correct?

 

There's no way to say that position X on the arm is okay, but position Y isn't.

 

What are they going by? The cuff on the jersey?

 

They'll be playing in sleeveless jerseys next week if so.

I was a big Jacky G fan back when he was viewed as this overrated joke of a footballer on a shitty Villa team. When the Gascoigne and Hazard comparisons start from the people at Sky, is when they start to lose me.
