We start with Chelsea v Fulham as the early Prem kick off. Currently 0-0 after 20.

In other news, Nat Phillips has headed West Brom in front away at early League Leaders Stoke.

Well well well … Delap off with a hamstring then on 21 minutes 18 year old King puts the ball in the net. VAR intervenes and it’s cancelled out for a foul on the halfway line in the build up.

Bloody VAR, will always chalk off a goal whenever they can. Chelsea escape

[jr81]

That's a disgrace. You can't disallow a goal for that.

Random question has anyone read a positive post from steve nichol about liverpool.
Must admit to being drawn to his comments ti see what he's moaning about now.
This time its wirtz not defending enough or doing anything of note.

two games at Chelsea so far and both goals for opposition chalked off for "questionable" calls.. the officials trying to make Chelsea champions?

Exactly,seems to deny goals for anything they can but turn a blind eye to penalties.
Hate VAR and its never got any better.

Well that’s football…. Fulham should have been 1-0 up but after a long VAR delay, the goal is controversially ruled out.

Then you know what’s coming… during the resulting extended injury time, Pedro heads Chelsea in front.

Silva berating the officials as they walk off at half time

H/T Chelsea 1-0 Fulham

VAR hold up they ignore a Jao Pedro hand ball and give a penalty for handball against the defender after that.

VAR have put Chelsea 2-0 up. It’s an absolute disgrace it really is.

How do you ignore Pedro’s handball but give the other one.

Who’s on VAR John Terry??

Video Assistant Referee: Salisbury, Michael

Ben Doak is on the Bournemouth bench as Ben Gannon-Doak. I knew he'd make a name for himself there.

Yes, looks like it.
Appalling decision.

Is he on loan, or sold?
I'm losing track, folks.
All this transfer activity from our club.
Greek Scouse going out on loan, isn't he?

[Steveo]

We cashed him in..

Utd have come out all guns blazing. Penalty awarded on field to Utd, VAR recommends an on field review and the ref changes his mind.
Lively … but still 0-0
