Can’t wait for Chris Kavanagh to come out and explain this. Oh wait, the refs don’t cos they’re fucking corrupt back hand taking bottle jobs!

Chris Kavanagh is such an incredibly weak official. Wilts under pressure. Just as with the disallowing of Edinson Cavani's goal at Tottenham. And VAR amplifies weak officiating.

Chris Kavanagh gets to go home now without facing the media knowing that he will be able to ref again next week. It’s embarrassing how much referees are protected in football when none of them are capable of doing their jobs properly.

Today was effectively a six pointer in the race for the Champions League between the two sides, Chelsea slip into fourth spot ahead of West Ham now and you’d be a food to back against them.
