Bournemouth got relegated in 2020 finishing a point behind Villa when in the final game of the season the Villa keeper carried the ball over the line but the line assistance system was 'broken'. Had Villa conceded that goal they would have been relegated instead. Bournemouth did get an apology, so every cloud.....
VAR would have been able to verify visually that the ball had crossed the line and they would have stayed up.
Not this nonsense again. "Villa would have been relegated". I didn't realise the game and indeed the rest of the season would have finished the second after Sheffield United had scored. A mistake was made, like mistakes get made every single weekend. We had some absolutely shocking errors go against us that season, like when we scored a perfectly good goal against Palace that was wrongly ruled out, and conceding a penalty at Old Trafford for Fernandes planting his boot into Konsa's shin.
It wasn't the final game of the season in any case, it was against Sheffield United the first game back after lock down, with ten games to go.
He will be missed.

I'm just hearing VAR have just awarded a very late penalty for Liverpool against City at Anfield. Title race still open.
Checks on noTAGlove ‘s congratulations to Citys previous trophy victories .
But, all jokes aside, I like Jurgen . He’s done a great job . He’s not the messiah , he just came up against the best manager ever to draw breath .
I’ll look forward to seeing him at Madrid when Ancelotti retires .
Yes I can see Jurgen going to Real after Carlo. He’s literally won everything possible in club football so is a natural fit for the biggest club in the world.
I love Pep, I think he’s a football genius, but Ferguson will take some shifting as the best ever. Pep inherited one of the greatest teams ever assembled at Barca with the greatest player that ever lived so you could say he possibly should have won the UCL more times than he did. His legacy isn’t finished at City but with what he’s spent, winning one UCL won’t be good enough.
Good luck Jurgen, you’ve been a first class PITA but you’re a EPL hall of famer for sure.
I can’t agree mate .
First up , Ferguson spent more than anybody in his tenure at Utd . Inflation points to him far outspending Guardiola during his time at the helm . He won two Chumps Leagues in 20 odd attempts .
I don’t get the fascination with the CL . It’s a cup competition. I’m glad we’ve won it but it’s just meh ! for me and most City fans . Saying you’re the best team in Europe because you win the thing is akin to saying you’re the best in England if you win the FA Cup . Interestingly , there’s an interview with Phil Foden today and he was asked if he’d prefer back to back CL or the Premier League . He agrees with me .
City could ( perhaps should ) have won the CL at least a few times . Games against Chelsea , Liverpool ,Spurs , Lyon , Real Madrid on three occasions , Monaco etc were all matches we should’ve won in if the stars were aligned .
Anyway , looking forward to tomorrow. Win or lose , the 115 will be back next season .
A couple of £50 million full backs and we are all set .
Cheers Bingo , it’s been a blast

Rather odd about De Zerbi’s exit from Brighton unless he’s already signed up for ???
