    So when Garnacho scored our second goal away at Arsenal early in the season and was more on side than the Coventry player was yesterday, and everyone laughed, were we cheating then as well?

    The truth of the matter is, we've had it both ways. Yes, Coventry don't because they don't have VAR in the championship, but I'd argue yesterday isn't cheating. They got given a penalty that could have easily gone other way.

    No, Man Utd never cheated then, but Arsenal are known for cheating every week, so it does not surprise me, we've just become accustomed to it - Saka constantly diving in the box or as he was on a more recent incident running like an Ostrich.VAR has not stopped any of this, I'd actually argue that VAR has made it worse, and players are diving all over the shop now in an attempt to deceive the cameras. I'd say Arsenal are only where they are in the league through cheating, but it blew up in their face and could cost them the title now, so much so even their own fans were going nuts at Saka for cheating.

    In that moment I don't think they would have. Part of the reason why everyone is so fixated over it is because they've said it's an FA Cup semi-final, Cov coming back, and it's a last minute winner. Ppl would've still been up in arms about it but instead it would've been aimed at the officials on the pitch rather than VAR.

    Btw I don't disagree about VAR, I'd be quite happy for it to be binned tomorrow, but in this instance VAR did nothing wrong except disappoint ppl of the fairytale ending even though the decision was the right one.

    LOL, you've had the run of the refs for 30 years, just because you remember the 1 time you didn't get your own way doesn't make every other fan wrong.
