    Says a hell of a lot that we can say that Poch was more proactive with his subs than we were this evening...

    "At the end I kicked the ball and then found his foot. The VAR is here to help, if it says no penalty we have to accept." - Bruno Fernandes.
    No, you didn't. You dived with absolutely no contact, you cheating twat.

    Solskjaer grinning like a Cheshire Cat, that`s what referees in your pocket and 17 penalty kicks so far this season does for you.

    For a start not get beaten so damn easily with a limp swing of his left leg. Secondly, not give Pogba any reason to do down.

    Prior to that Dier had an excellent game. All means jack though when you do mistakes like that. It’s a soft as **** penalty but we see them given all the time so it’s hardly surprising either.

    But all of the Sky pundits thought it was a penalty. Keane, Evra and Neville were in complete agreement...

    That's probably because it was a penalty mate <ok>

    Another Man Utd opinion on it. I'll put as much stock in it as I have the others.

    Hope you’re not trying to imply there’s any sort of bias there!?

    Must admit though, I’ve somehow managed to reach some zen-like mode in that I genuinely tend to be able to block out what commentators say, unless I’m watching on a stream as I tend to look for Arabic/ Korean commentary as it’s brilliant, whilst when the pundits speak at HT/ FT I’m usually having a piss or have already switched over.

    Yeah right, Dier never even makes a tackle, Pogba throws his leg out to initiate contact and then throws himself to the floor. There is not a hope in hell that Spurs would ever be given a penalty like that against United or Pool.

    Roy Keane threatened to punch everyone in the face at half-time.
    I assume Moss felt that he was being included in that, judging by the second half.

    Forget who i support, just learn a bit about football <doh>

    The second call was never a penalty though, Bruno played the ball and tried to spin off him but actually caught his leg. No pen, no dive. Sometimes players fall over for natural reasons <ok>

    Neither was a penalty. Pogba initiated contact for the first and Fernandes threw himself on the ground for the second. Both dives.

    There is an unnatural throwing of the leg from Pogba so he can kick Dier and initiate contact, only a simpleton would argue otherwise.

    I used to go on the Liverpool to get some giggles (they have Astro) but now i have found this board with around 5 or 6 Astro's. It's great.
    Do you all read the same live match text because you can't possibly be actually watching.

    Ref was rubbish and biased.

    But Mourinho’s tactics are something I will never ever find entertaining.
