I think VAR, crap referees, and poor home performances have really depressed me this year. I really hope I’m wrong, I just can’t see us getting anything from Arsenal. I’m not usually this cynical, just don’t want to be hovering near the bottom again this season.
It’s the officials & VaR for me. The form has been disappointing, and home form for a long time, but when you feel you’re just playing against a handicap it just isn’t sport. In just 6 matches there’s been 3 very harsh / wrong VaR decisions that cost us goals or gave the opposition goals, ie directly impacted the result, and other decisions. I didn’t even feel bad losing to Coventry in the second half, until VaR stepped in again to find a way to disallow our goal. It’s just killed my enthusiasm for the sport.
