Bit naughty from Saka, that. But to call it a "leg breaker" is slightly over egging the pudding.

Typical of everything “United” these days. They’re so hyperbolic it’s ridiculous.

Everything is either the end of the world, terrible, rotten to the core… or it’s absolutely brilliant, “gonna win the league within two years”…

“He could’ve been killed”

Arsenal should be putting these to the sword.

Having said that they'll probably concede a scrappy goal and miss half a dozen clear opportunities to lose 1-0.

According to someone on the BBC they're pinning Arsenal back and pinging the ball around really well. I'm not watching it as I can't be trusted not to kick my telly in, but as the BBC are impartial I'll believe them.

Someone must have spiked his drink, then.

Just reading that as I don’t watch them either. From the text commentary it sounds like they are absolutely battering Arsenal yet when I look at the stats it says 3 shots each.

I dont think you can say it was incorrectly ruled. There was contact and it was, therefore, strictly speaking a foul. However it’s the inconsistency that drives you crazy. Refs have been letting worse than that go all season and we are being told that refs are being instructed to let the game flow…. unless it leads to a goal.

We need consistency.

The problem is that they look for ANYTHING after a goal is scored. If that break had led to a corner or free kick, nothing happens. The bar for disallowing a goal should be very high indeed. VAR should have no more than a minute to look at it and the on field referee should never look at something slowed down.
Finally, offside should only be offside if NO part of the attacker is onside.

Playing the Rags... is like being forced to fight with one arm tied behind your back.

Always feels to me like Neville etc try and pre-empt VAR decisions in the Studio. Like they know VAR have in game match commentary going directly in to the Booth.

I never want the rags to win anything, not even the toss.
