Every time you win a game for Bournemouth, they are grateful.*
Every time you lose one for Liverpool, it's your fault.
The step up is enormous.
See Thomas Frank and Tottenham for supporting evidence.

Probably the best refereeing decision you’ll see! It would be so easy to give a penalty when everyone is screaming at him but the ref stood by his call, he could clearly see the Arsenal player grab the arm of the defender and pull him on to himself looking for the pen! Why moan?
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
Im sure ill get hate for this, but Arsenal had 25% possession and just one shot on target in a Champions League final. Football was the real winner tonight 🤷♂️
#champi̇onsleaguefinal it makes you see how teams set up to play, you’ve got one team with the ball down, passing around trying to play football then you have the other, park the bus, route one, long throws, hoofing it into the mix!! I know who I’d rather win! Just saying
Wow! Probably the only country in the world entitled enough to make a show about GS who “reshapes the squad with a bold new mindset for glory” which is all about the most overhyped team that ended up failing 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣

@SkySportsPL@SkySportsNews How does this help!?!? If you’re constantly admitting failure but not doing anything to countermeasure it then it’ll never improve ffs! When you have two referees, on field & VAR, making opposite calls for handball then you’ve got bigger problems than you think! 🤦
@GJB77DBAD@bobbounds65@HACKETTREF But what is the point of VAR if they’re applying “subjective” laws!?!? To get the best out of VAR is to have Black & White decisions like offside, why not take away the farcical handball rule? Why not take away the “accidental” part? But they won’t because there’s too much 💰💰💰
@bobbounds65@HACKETTREF Yes that’s the point, the referee disagreed with another referee (VAR), that other ref will referee next time and in a similar situation will call it differently! Whether you agree with the call or not, the lack of consistency is very worrying as are the laws of the game 🤷♂️
