VAR claiming more points tonight. 2 very poor scrappy teams.

And I think we can safely say that's the SEGW's £175,000 new contract incoming.

Pretty brave of him to get up and score that goal after being felled by that vicious assault from Maguire only moments previously.

Unfortunately with their 2 results Palace are probably going to be clear of any relegation battle this year.

Hate Palace, but you can't call them poor on this performance, pen decision notwithstanding.

Classic Hodgson/ Palace, I thought. Get ahead on a counter attack or a set piece, then sit back in two banks of four and soak it up, occasionally using the space created as the other side gets desperate to break forward again. They did it to us the Amex and have done it to better teams than United in the past.

Annoying to hear the commentator repeatedly referring to Zaha performing "on his return" to Old Trafford though. He left them bloody years ago and has been back plenty of times: it's not exactly a fairytale story here. Lumbering centre halves like Maguire and Lindelof are the stuff his dreams are made of.

A shit United performance and a textbook efficient Palace one.

All VAR did was offer the ref a chance to look at it more closely and apply the correct decision under the rules. I dislike Palace, I hate Man U, their manager, all their fans especially the Brighton dwellers, Gary Neville commentating on their matches. I bloody love VAR.

Have to give Palace their due they've played with two strong banks of 4 and getting in the way of everything. But the only winners are those who don't have to watch it every week

Amazed when Neville gave them credit tbh. Anti-football, Horrible team. My opinion (and don’t need pundits to influence it like some - not saying you).

But it was subjective and nobody so much as appealed as it clearly wasn’t handball. Plus then the keeper looked like he had 1 foot on line (assume new rule is 2) and it’s a joke. VAR completely ruins the games - you think something’s happened then it’s called back a minute. It’s a joke.
