So glad I decided to play games instead. Got loads of Moons on Mario Odyssey now.

I know you're a casual fan but you played Mario Odyssey instead of watching Liverpool v Man United?

That is a bit mental tbf

If it weren't Curls I'd argue it could be the jitters - I have been known to shite out of watching the odd Old Firm match(err, especially recently) because I can't handle the nerves. I genuinely had to go and lie down with a stress headache after the 2016 Scottish Cup semi-final.

More -worthy comments from Neil Lennon yesterday. It seems that he's completely tone deaf on the whole issue, and is oddly aggressive about it. Man needs to calm down, learn to read the room, and stop making stupid comments.

Basically hes deluded himself into thinking hes in a bubble when he's just had Covid sweep through his squad.

Meanwhile, all of us tuned into Reality FM think hes a melt.

Chelsea were awarded a penalty, which was then overturned and Leicester scored right after.

You hate to see it.

Good decision to overturn it though.

Chelsea very lacklustre.

Leicester look good. Definitely not the favourites for the title but they're in the mix.

Watching the City v Villa game. How on earth was that not given as offside?! They can calculate when a toenail is offside bit not when he is 15 yards offside?

Villa getting royally strawberry floated by VAR, as usual!

You have at least 10 seasons of VAR strawberry floating you over to make up for that Sheffield United 'goal'

But yes, ridiculous, that's clearly offside

Don't know what you're talking about

How come the Villa manager got a red card?

Its the rules not VAR strawberry floating Villa there.

Per the letter of the law, it was the right decision. As soon as Mings takes a "deliberate touch" of the ball it is a new phase of play.

The laws say:

Offside offence

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

* interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or

* interfering with an opponent by:
* preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
* challenging an opponent for the ball...

You cannot challenge for the ball from and offside position

He didn't challenge from an offside position. As soon as Mings takes the touch he is onside again and free to challenge.
