    It’s a bit like a snooker player shaking hands with their opponent after a frame and then arguing that they weren’t conceding the frame.

    You accepted that it would be almost impossible to determine what deserved a replay or not. So I’m not sure at all what argument you think I was making other than where do you draw the line and how do you determine what is deserving

    However yes you haven’t conceded my argument that it’s a sore losers charter, but as you are a sore loser yourself….I completely understand that
    My argument was that Liverpool should pursue their case, not because it made 100% sense (though it makes more sense than you pretend) or because they would adchieve it, but to get up and make people listen through showing that clubs weren't going to put up with it any more

    but I'd day again yours and Letters laughable question about whether i''d like replays in teh past which would have won us the PL or CL - well is there really another answer except "yes"?

    Yes - there’s no of course not don’t be stupid, what’s done is done.

    And if Liverpool were to succeed it does by definition open up that can of worms, because why favour Liverpool in this instance and not everyone else.

    If you do it for one, it’s only fair to do it for everyone

    So I’ll accept that you thought about it, and realised what a stupid idea it was and leave it at that

    It won’t be the first stupid thing you’ve supported and it won’t be the last, so it’s all good

    I haven't said it was a stupid idea, i think it should be taken seriously, I just agreed it had problems

    Like I said you are binary, either it's yes or no, black or white with you

    look up the word 'nuance' sometime

    I find with silly and inadequate people it’s best to be unequivocal

    Plus really There’s absolutely nothing that makes it remotely tenable or desirable

    You’ve conceded the main reason - that deciding what should get replayed would be totally arbitrary. So whether you realise it or not you’ve accepted that it’s stupid.

    There’s plenty of things one could have nuance over. But in the instance of this or say giving heroin to children…not so much

    But as I’ve said, it won’t be the first stupid viewpoint you’ve taken so it’s all good

    I’m generally a fan of VAR (in principle more than how it’s been implemented) but it’s hard not to argue that he’s spot on when he talks about football as being different from sports where it is far more stop and start.

    As I’ve said before I do like the guy (not really speaking as a coach, he’s managed Spurs for seven games and I’d say given the games he’s played it’s hard to divine a particular style, though I think we should have beaten them and I think Liverpool were better than them last weekend), I just think there’s a refreshing honesty in how he engages with the media rather than the more prosaic pre-prepared PR that comes out of the mouth of most managers. I’d say definitely someone the BBC should look to bring in for their commentary team for the next international tournament as I think he offers the kind of insight that would bring people back watching.
    In that respect, I like listening to Wenger as a pundit because away from Arsenal he’s far more open and provides more interesting analysis than the blandishments of people like Shearer, Sutton and Jermaine Jenas.

    Going to say it again, Bellingham…wow

    He’s taken La Liga by storm hasn’t he. Shame in a way because can’t stand Real Madrid…but absolutely fair play to him, he’s exceptional.

    Eden Hazard has retired.

    Crazy how he just fell off a cliff when he joined Real Madrid considering how good he was at Chelsea.

    He was excellent at Chelsea, I don't know what happened at RM but I guess some players just run out of steam

    That’s an irony, a player ruined after leaving Chelsea
