    Interestingly, CAS are saying that City didn't hide anything.

    UEFA really need to get some new lawyers.

    I bet a Leicester fan Ł20 on who would finish higher in the Prem a few years back. We were relegated finishing dead last and they won the league.

    I seem to remember good ol' @Jimmy Floyd donating Ł20 to a charity of my choice after young Josh McEachran didn't play 20 games or summit for Chelsea.

    I never really seen what Danny Ings looks like before. He’s the spit of a lad I know.

    Interested to see what Southampton can do here. They’re top 5 in terms of their away record.

    They'll probably do alright for a bit, concede a penalty and then get bunted.

    Pogba needs to wake up. That pass was lovely but he has been too slow so far.

    That Shaw Rashford move was very nice, just needed a better run.

    There’s a turnaround. Southampton’s defending for both goals was pitiful though.

    I would sell Big Fat Luke Shaw tomorrow for actual peanuts. He offers nothing at both ends.

    Anthony Martial.

    Man Utd should stick 5/6 past Chelsea in the cup at the weekend. Too good going forward. Greenwood has touched the ball about twice

    I would imagine we'll rest players for the cup game. This team has started 5 games in a row.

    They can have a rest against West Ham and the Europa return match.

    Totally lost it after that second goal. We have barely rotated since the restart, as soon as United stepped it up a notch weve dropped off.

    Fair play Wycombe. Get your bets on for them to finish bottom next season though.

    Somebody answer me this: why does Arsenal twitter (and maybe Arsenal fans full stop) have the unique trait of, when one of their players is sent off, spending the next several weeks crying tears of abject frustration whenever another player in a completely unrelated match isn't sent off for something they subjectively deem to be worse?

    Was the Stoke/Aaron Ramsey leg break when Brexit and Remoaning started?

    Which incident is it this time?

    I got really bored of Neville banging on about Romeu last night for what felt like about half the match.

    That Romeu incident is a bloody joke. Genuinely pointless having VAR if the people checking are unable to ref the game.

    VAR since the break has been terrible, every game I watch they get something completely wrong.

    Was the Romeu foul overlooked as the referee saw it and gave a punishment already?

    Nice to see us get a decision go for us at Old Trafford for a change as it was a pretty obvious red.

    VAR is just terrible full stop.

    It doesn't 'correct' anywhere near enough 'howlers' (whether this is because they are less prevalent in a VAR system I don't know) to offset the harm it does with all the armpit offsides and brushed the hand disallowed goals (although that's not specifically VAR's fault). Add in the fact that it is just getting things objectively wrong quite often now I'm not sure really what it is bringing to the game.

    The commentary at the time said VAR hadn't spoke to the referee about it and they were just checking it themselves so I dunno how the rules work there but it sounds like they didn't want to overrule the ref anyway as nothing came of it.

    Any referee in the modern game who refuses to use the pitch side monitor should be sacked.
