We have just witnessed the greatest comeback in any sport EVER! Golf just isn't the same without Tiger! #TheMasters #TigerWoods #GOAT

@Ryanair @Ryanair I have sent a DM to you about this but had no reply.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@Ryanair how do we actually speak to a person on your phone number? I want to double check what we can take for an infant.

I think it's safe to say we would comfortably win Serie A this season.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@VFTNinian Robertson really turning into a top player now if he can keep this up, always had the ability and now has the work rate to match and that will be down to BBM. I clocked BBM twice celebrating when Robertson broke up play.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@BattlefieldComm Sounds sensible but the biggest issue is breakthrough, should be the centrepiece mode that everything else is built on but it's just underwhelming on most maps

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@VFTNinian BBM got us knocking it around like Brazil and Kpakio is going to be some player. Being top towards the end of the transfer window could be really key to any incomings.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@VFTNinian Take the point but we really struggled, balls into the box were really poor for some reason and it's not a surprise we got out muscled in centre mid and centre back. Need a few players in.

What a comeback from Cardiff City to win 2-1 against Norwich City.

4 wins and 2 draws in the last 6. Should Omer Riza get the manager’s job full time?

xG ≈ 0.11 for O’Dowda’s winner

🚨📺 OFFICIAL: letter sent to the Premier League regarding scrapping VAR.

"Wolves have formally submitted a resolution to the Premier League to trigger a vote at the league's AGM in June, on the removal of VAR from the start of the 2024/25 season.

The introduction of VAR in 2019/20 was a decision made in good faith and with the best interests of football and the Premier League at its heart. However, it has led to numerous unintended negative consequences that are damaging the relationship between fans and football, and undermining the value of the Premier League brand, which include:

• Impact on goal celebrations and the spontaneous passion that makes football special.

• Frustration and confusion inside stadiums due to lengthy VAR checks and poor communication.

•A more hostile atmosphere with protests, booing of the Premier League anthem and chants against VAR.

• Overreach of VAR's original purpose to correct clear and obvious mistakes, now overanalysing subjective decisions and compromising the game's fluidity and integrity.

• Diminished accountability of on-field officials, due to safety net of VAR, leading to an erosion of authority on the pitch.

• Continued errors despite VAR, with supporters unable to accept human error after multiple views and replays, damaging confidence in officiating standards.

• Disruption of the Premier League's fast pace with lengthy VAR checks and more added time, causing matches to run excessively long.

• Constant discourse about VAR decisions often overshadowing the match itself, and tarnishing the reputation of the league.

• Erosion of trust and reputation, with VAR fuelling completely nonsensical allegations of corruption.

The decision to table the resolution has come after careful consideration and with the utmost respect for the Premier League, PGMOL and our fellow competitors.

There is no blame to be placed - we are all just looking for the best possible outcome for football - and all stakeholders have been working hard to try and make the introduction of additional technology a success.

However, after five seasons of VAR in the Premier League it is time for a constructive and critical debate on its future.

Our position is that the price we are paying for a small increase in accuracy is at odds with the spirit of our game, and as a result we should remove it from the 2024/25 season onwards."

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@PaulAbbandonato 100% agree

[Paul Abbandonato @PaulAbbandonato]

Prem clubs to vote on whether to keep VAR. Technology isn’t the issue, it’s how it’s been used. Meant to stop clear & obvious, Azpilicueta 2 yards offside v Cardiff, Henry handball v Ireland, not minutiae of a toenail offside, or replays galore for pens. Dont want in Championship

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@StanCollymore Clubs should not be allowed to vote on this kind of thing, large % will always give the selfish vote and not what is best for the game.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@VFTNinian There is a break in the managers co tract isn't there? He stays for now for me but we must see more from the players for him to stay on next season

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@VFTNinian Really concerning, west brom sat off us after the early goal and were average yet we still couldn't create anything and Norwich sounded even worse, could have been 10. As much as I want stability at the moment it looks like players are not buying into whats being asked of them.

[David Groves @Gr0ve5y]

@PaulAbbandonato Something not right, no style of play, no plan, players clearly not buying into what's being asked. Can't see the manager lasting
