    Even we managed to avoid that sort of defending yesterday.

    I did say last season the Championship games were more exciting. Maybe the Premier League will wake up eventually and realise that var is killing the game. When you got a ref having to spend time squinting at a monitor you know the game has gone.

    They've backed themselves into a corner with VAR.

    Spent too much money and made too much noise to go back.

    Would not be able to handle the loss of face.

    Whilst the likes of United and Chelsea are benefitting, they won't care.

    I think actual fans would respect it if they said it’s **** and got rid. Won’t happen obviously.

    You’d have Sky and an ex-ref analysing everything for what VAR would have given and Arsenal fans producing a league table of how many points they’d have if VAR hadn’t been scrapped.

    I think what was happening was a foul, the rules where the foul was committed dictates a penalty. Where it's gone wrong and where people are getting upset is because var is stepping in. I think Chief said the ref should be spotting it, and he's right, and that is the problem, var is killing commonsense and refs are becoming complacent. And for me that's not a good look at this sporting level, when the ref has to be seen going over to a monitor, squinting at a screen in an attempt to understand or witness the problem, it's just complete nonsense. It's just all ****ed up from so many angles and if anything has created even more cheating. It's certainly not stopping cheating, because players will keep looking for ways of deceiving the cameras or playing to the camera with so many penalties...not suggesting the Man Utd player was cheating by the way, because he wasn't.

    I would say Sesko has done **** all but if I say that he’ll get the winner so I won’t say it.
