First of all, you need to understand what a Pyrrhic victory is. It is of course in reference to the victory of King Pyrrhus of Epiros over the Roman armies at Heraclea in 280 BC. Although the Roman armies suffered greater casualties, they had a bigger replacement pool of soldiers compared to the Greeks, so they were able to win subsequent battles. If we had lost Son, Maddison and Romero to injury, yes, you might actually have a point.
Yes, the Scousers were dredging up the "London football mafia" conspiracy theories again, that same mafia that has clearly favoured Tottenham over Liverpool historically. I mean how else can you explain the fact that they have won 19 league titles to our 2, 6 European Cups to our zero, 8 League Cups to our 4 and that we once went 37 games without a league win at Anfield?

Never going to hear the end of the scouse moaning through the remainder of the season and if anything like a league title or CL place is in jeopardy. Joker on Grumpy Pundits going on about playing the game over. Hey let’s just play every game over for every ref/VAR injustice that’s happened to every other team too! People want to get rid of VAR and go backwards too, ludicrous! It’s clear the system and people doing it need to be higher quality, better trained etc. We have this stuff in place in pro leagues here and it works well, but you can’t be nodding off in the middle of the action… And why isn’t the 4th official, a qualified ref on the pitch involved in reviewing it? Surely he can do more than just subs.
I want to get rid of VAR. No more ludicrous calls where somebody is offside by an inch. The goal line technology is fine.
Liverpool supporters now taking the stance the club is finally the one to stand up and say “enough”. True heroes. I hope we have a minute’s silence next game to honor their sacrifice.
Sure sounds like the amount of nonsense gets spouted. Just as well talk sport doesn’t accept calls from North America
Amir Mir Tue 3 October 2023 9:00, UK This Tottenham and Liverpool VAR drama seems to be never-ending! That Luis Diaz goal that didn’t stand still continues to hit the headlines on Tuesday and the media, nor Liverpool, will probably stop until they get clear answers – the player himself has posted a two-word message on Instagram amid that drama. But as Tottenham legend Graham Roberts switched on Sky Sports, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing because there seems to be suggestions by some that the weekend encounter should be ‘replayed’. Interesting.
All is not lost, you can always petition the government for a second place trophy, like you did the other year [emoji23].
PL has released the footage of the offside fiasco: https://www.premierleague.com/news/3718057?sf269410963=1 Pythonesque stuff. More proof that the people officiating our game are complete numpties.
Replayed ? Who is saying this, idiot supporters? Liverpool have already come out and said they don’t want a replay
Tottenham-Liverpool replay? “I’ve been listening to Sky Sports News, am I going mad,” said Roberts. “Yes, the refs mucked up on Saturday, re the goal. “The sending-offs were right. Now they (are) saying we should replay the match JOKE. Should Man Utd v Wolves get replayed when Wolves didn’t get a penalty? Everybody needs to move on.”
