Description
Fans were told VAR would make football better but instead, it appears to be doing its very best to make it worse with every passing game.
It was our turn (again!) last weekend to suffer from inept and not-for-purpose officiating, that could've been cleaned up by the use of VAR, but they're still hellbent on only helping sub-standard referees in only very specific incidents in the game. That cost us against Newcastle, in what was a very good performance that warranted all three points, let alone a draw.
James and Will discuss all of that this week, as well as look a bit further back to the victory over Freiburg in the Europa League, which sees us top Group A and cement ourselves as favourites to qualify as winners.
Also this week, James' mate, very opinionated West Ham fan and bondholder, Steve Hart, is the Claret & Blue View guest as he discusses his experience in Prague, love for West Ham, deep hatred towards Arsenal and what he thinks it means to be West Ham. This interview is well worth the listen for the Declan Rice-Arsenal rant alone, to be honest!
It's an international break now, so no Opposition View or Betway Charity bets, but we'll be back again next week as we look ahead to the trip to Villa Park.
Remember, if you love what we do then PLEASE leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on. It helps us more than you know and allows us to be found by new listeners, helping us grow even more!
