Disagree.....lets see Norwich and Southampton lose and open a gap to the bottom 3

Yeah I was kind of thinking the same.
Then plumped for more candidates between us and the bottom three instead of points difference.

Hence highlighting it.

Seriously - that is what VAR is for but you have overturned the ref. Let him have a look and the crowd will know what is going on.

Whenever Zaha got the ball they'd foul him if you can call that a tactic. In all fairness they didn't really need to do much, palace were very poor.

Apologies for tapping your knowledge. When CP counter attacked, had Watford left ample bodies back?

I’m interested because the derby’s coming up.

When I first saw it I said penalty! But I also thought it's not given against big clubs. Obviously, the mancs in blue are not a big club

Fook me how did the ref need VAR to give Utd the penalty?

It was a clear penalty and overturned a clear error. But let the ref have a look before you hang him out to dry. It might add 30 seconds but in the scheme of VAR, that is a blink of an eye. Presently, it is one ref's opinion overturning another ref's opinion.

Now 0-2. All those hundreds of millions and Citeh's defence is abysmal.

If VAR was used for this then I don’t think you would have many against it.

It’s not, that’s why there are people against it.

I have no problem with VAR, but at the moment the decisions are very slow in coming. Give it a couple of seasons and it'll be second nature.
It's actually quite an entertaining game ,this one

But one person's definition of a clear penalty is different from another's. They had a couple of weeks setting the threshold far too low and then went mad and made it far too high. Put the threshold in the middle and if the VAR thinks it exceeds it then invite the on field ref to have a look. It was how it worked elsewhere. If they are worried about overturning their mate then give him the decision himself.

Love Daniel James. Too bad United were quicker on James than Brighton on Potter because him and Trossard on the wings would have been some disgusting sick shit.

Missing Laporte. So they’ll get that well-worn petro$ cheque book out, and spend £100m’s next summer (a star or two this coming January too?). Must be sweet to be a Citeh fan, the owners are always able to outgun Europe’s best.

I imagine City fans are leaving their entitled facebook groups in droves.

Much as I wanted them to win I can only smirk at how they are reacting

But all that money - they shouldn't be so reliant on one defender.
