      In fairness, VAR did us against Arsenal and Spurs.

        Written in the stars Ed, probably a late goal too just to make it worse.

          Sheff Utd unlucky with that late penalty shout.

            Much better from us, should be way ahead. No idea how we are level, though a missed pen doesn’t help!

            Those missed chances will cost us again.

              I think the players themselves were the only football people in the country who didn’t think Newcastle would start with loads of energy and try to overrun them from the off.

              No one else was surprised.

              They just had no idea.

                I’m not one to overreact, but that was shocking. Absolute disgrace. No heart, I effort, no chance.

                Players constantly give up trying regardless of who is the manager. No idea how they get out of this mess.

                    Be interesting to see if the pressure now builds on the clubs involved to suspend those involved. I suspect that is the aim of teh article.

                        Sean, there is an article on the BBC website about the Partey case. They don’t name him, but if you read that article you can see what he has allegedly got up to.

                          Crazy match, thoroughly entertaining but another goalkeeping mistake has cost us.

                          Should have won but we can’t buy a win in Europe.

                            Nil, one of the issues are that they use refs and officials from all over Europe, obviously individual leagues would see things differently so they have tried to introduce something for the CL where there is a certain threshold for handball. Apparently the threshold is quite low, and a lot lower than in the PL. If you are asking refs to use a threshold which is not their normal one then things will happen like last night, but every mistake is making VAR look to be more and more of a shambles.

                            I still think the officials don’t realise fans just want consistency.

                              Just reading that the VAR offical who gave the pen has been stood down. Fair enough, but then are they really saying that Eriksens fingernail handball against Bayern was an actual pen? They cannot be.

                              Whole lot needs to go in the bin and start again.

                                Handballs are very soft in Europe though, not surprised it was given. They really do need to rethink the application of the law for those.

                                  1-2 injuries and the team should be able to cope.

                                  4,5,6 + and it obviously becomes a lot harder. Especially if they are long term.

                                    What a strike from Garnacho, glad the pundits can see it for what it was without the tribal nonsense. Someone will need to do something really special to beat that this season.

                                    Mainoo looked decent too, very promising debut. Calm, collected, good in the tackle, good passer, composed, holds his position too. Looking forward to seeing him develop.

                                    Good day for us, Rashford and martial on the scoresheet too, Bruno assisting and linking up more higher up the pitch.

                                        Most of those clubs already have owner associated sister clubs, or are planning on acquiring one. You’ll probbaly find that the owners of the clubs who are not in that bracket but voted against the ban are going to be enjoying some very nice christmas presents this year off of the owners of clubs who do fit the bracket.

                                          We missed Bellingham last night. Foden is a huge talent but he needs to start producing more otherwise he will be back on the bench when others are fit.

                                          Wasn’t convinced by Lewis. I expected him to get forward, overlap Grealish and whip some crosses in, did none of that. Always cut back onto his right foot and drifted into the middle too much. Very unlucky with the pen.

                                            It’s not just VAR in the PL which is a joke then.

                                            I finger in the face when jumping for the ball and your back to a player is a pen, but pushing a player over and then a boot to the face in the same play is not a pen.

                                            I think the VAR officials must be having some form of competition to see who can give the worst decisions.
