    Did you have to use Maradona as an example when discussing handball? Took me a few seconds to work out 'Maradonas one in' didn't refer to the hand of God.

    I thought I liked VAR, then I didn't, then I did. I think I'm back to disliking it now. It needs to be smoothed out and whilst I first found the suspense in waiting for a decision to be exciting, I now find it to be far too time consuming and whether it goes for you or against, it's just another excuse to slow down the game.

    If you took VAR, throw ins and subs etc, I reckon we get to see roughly 60 minutes of actual football a game.

    I'd rather the usual debate that goes with disputed decisions happens between officials. For that reason, I think VAR is good.

    Didn't it average out to a bit under that before VAR anyway?

    At Brighton on Saturday there was a lengthy VAR check on the disallowed goal, and then 1 minute of added time at the end of the half. Factor in the new hokey-kokey goalkick set-up and it's a time wasters charter.

    I think VAR could be good but they’re being too pedantic about it. “Clear and obvious”, in an offsides call, should mean clearly ahead of the last player, not two centimetres ahead. And the new handball rule is just shit.

    VAR should be about avoiding game-changing obvious errors, not stamping out every bit of ambiguity from the game.

    Offside, like the new attacking handball rule is a binary thing. It either is or isn't. They need to change the rule so the line is taken through the torsos. There are also reasonably valid arguments that defining when the ball is played forward precisely is fairly inexact at the moment. In short, it's all gack.

    I remember having a discussion this previously and the reality is if the technology is there it will be used and used excessively.

    I don't watch football much these days, but if it's used anything more than 3 or 4 times a game then it's being used more than is needed.

    Cracking finish.

    It will also help all of you to know that I had £5 on Rashford to score first. Also have £5 on us to win 2-0, 3-0 or 3-1.

    3-1 til the 90th minute, when Rashford double fucks you by getting the 4th.

    You come to recognise a few on there which are usually good. "youpit" almost always works well for me.

    So are Wolves having a bit of a Burnley bounce here? They looked pretty crap last week and haven't been much/any better in this.

    United looking great which is disappointing. AWB really is a cheat code as someone mentioned last week. McTominay still seems useless which is a saving grace. Hopefully they return to form in the 2nd half and concede a few

    If we had a better player than Lingard at number 10 I think we'd be in danger of being a really good team.

    This guy Lingard, I hate to say it considering he's still so young with so much promise, but I'm not sure he's really up to standard.

    I really like AWB, though. Can't tell if it's just being so used to praying Ashley Young does literally anything positive or not.

    He's about twenty seven. He was 'young and promising' for about four years under Ferguson.
