As controversial VAR decisions go this season, that one was a but ho hum, first time they showed it, you knew it would be given. Offside has not had clear and obvious applied to it - just coloured lines. I think there are too many inaccuracies in play for them to be measuring to that level - for example, it is impossible to select the exact moment the pass was played. You are actually selecting the frame closest to the pass. Switch it one frame and the offside can look very different. As such they should have a "too close to call" rule on any decision within a certain range rather than measuring some guy's armpit against another guy's testicles.
Absolutely the tolerance levels they apply to the decisions are far too strict. You shouldn't give an offside on the evidence that the tip of a player's foot or hand crossed the line

First round of playoffs in championship overnight
Bournemouth 1- 0 Brentford
Barnsley 0-1 SwanseaReverse legs this weekend. Still all are very open and the nerves are certainly there.

the latest LOL is the chat that Brendan Rdogers' succesful season with Leicester means he is ready to once again join a big club
a big club like Spurs or Arsenal....

The Leicester owners have money, and seem very supportive. And the two London clubs are not very settled right now, and I would not want to work for Daniel Levy unless I got a pretty strong guarantee that I had a big say in transfers

the joke is in thinking that either or those clubs are actually bigger than Leicester.
Leicester in things.

Well they've certainly won more trophies than Spurs in the last 20 years....

Depends on how you define big. Bigger stadiums, bigger fan base - indeed.
Bigger trophy cabinet. Perhaps not.

He would be mad to join Spurs given the latest murmurings that Kane is off elsewhere (probably one of the Manchester clubs).

Chelsea get the revenge match win and if Liverpool and Leicester both win out it will go to goal difference for the final spot (unless Chelsea drop points).
Liverpool have the slightly better run in of the two so you'd think they're favourites, although they have an extra game and therefore an extra chance to slip up.
Spurs champions league hopes are dead now.
In non epl news, my favourite little football club, Eibar in la Liga are also guaranteed to be relegated from la Liga. They lasted many seasons more than anyone expected, being based in town with a population of about 28,000 and a home ground with a capacity of about 8000.

It could be a pretty crazy Sunday. If Liverpool win tonight (away to Burnley), then they will nudge out Leicester and on Saturday it'll be Chelsea 67, Liverpool & Leicster on 66 with superior goal diff (1+winning margin tonight)
If they lose tonight, then Chelsea are in, and Leicester are in the box seat needing only point on Sunday.
Sunday matches are Leicster home to Spurs, Chelsea away to Villa & Liverpool home to Palace. Chelsea in control of their destiny, Liverpool & Leicester not!
