Having watched them twice it’s hard to believe, as we’ve easily tonked them twice, but they’ve never lost a home CL tie to an English side before. They have not conceded more than one goal at home for 72 games. And 4-0 equals there worst ever loss at home. Plus the majority of that team played and beat Liverpool last year.

What a load of ****...all the rulings are subjective it seems so I don’t know how anyone knows what teams would have what points without VAR. You can’t measure things like subconscious influences on weak minds and no one can deny our officials are weak and very wrong on many occasions. Take for example Pool....refs have been handed their narrative this season and every ref will by hook or by crook make sure it comes to fruition. A free kick here, turning a blind eye there...turning to VAR to back them when they want at other equivalent incidents totally ignoring VAR etc etc
... and blowing in admiration at the artistry behind Sadio Mane's frequent balletic, almost slow motion, collapsing in penalty areas if he so much as anticipates contact with the hairs on an opposition player's leg #NotBitter
On the otherhand...Son should have had a penalty on Sunday (to go with the hand ball for you) and should not hsve been sent off...so on Sunday I would suggest that both teams were ****ed over. I would say that we gained a point at city via VAR, lost one v Arsenal (the Dele being thrown in the box), gsined one v Watford for the vertongen foul, lost one v Newcastle for the foul on kane and lost 2 on Sunday with Son being sent off... It's all opinion...and that is VARs failing...along with the fact refs are ****
Think that could have gone both ways but fair enough. So if they did not 2 pens and we did not get a pen and Son was sent off then it is even so neither benefit or lost on the day...the ref and VAR was equally **** to both...yay What a way to run a sport ffs
Thatsa very fair assessment. The youtube video made it look worse. Seeing the angle from in front you can see son doesnt really slide and and sort of pulls out.
.... and a red card ... worst cumulative simulations I've seen in any single game this season .... been nominated for a BAFTA I think...
