Shock, horror, Premier League officials are terrible
We’re not alone in suffering ludicrous officiating calls at the hands of perhaps the most incompetent class of referees and VAR operators ever seen.
Still, it has to be pointed out just how impressive it is – despite the points lost – that we’ve managed to navigate our way to the top of the league table.
We’d prefer to have a body of officials that were better held accountable, of course. Not to mention a higher standard of officiating overall, but we can’t have everything, can we?
