    The worst part about this is that we have (or had until recently) the most touches in opposition box too. Some teams aren't going to win penalties because they're never in the box, but the amount of time we spend in the box means that we should be right up the top in terms of penalties given...

    Well we're ahead of "title challengers" Aston Villa and eight points clear of "European champions" West Ham, so anything's possible I guess

    Rules Video Assistant Referee

    I don't think it's viable to have the conversation played live in the stadium, but the decision (once confirmed) can be stated by the referee in stadium at least. Like they did in the women's world cup. They also can show on the screens what's being reviewed, which is the same as rugby union...

    Meanwhile on Sky we get Gary Neville every time we play United Jamie Carragher every time we play Liverpool Alan Smith every time we play Woolwich We've got City next, I reckon they'll raise the ghost of Colin Bell to commentate on that one

    I don't watch their analysis so I genuinely don't know, but do they offer other teams' managers to Manchester at the same frequency as ours? Like Unai Emery, he's doing well at Villa, surely he should be going to a "proper" team if he wants to win things? What about Eddie Howe? Shouldn't he be...

    Interesting that when you put him in a room with Michael Dawson instead of Carragher, Neville etc that this is what he feels free to say.

    Romero's wasn't a foul either, but there you go.

    The challenge on Kulusevski in the box in the second half, looked like the defender took the ball then landed on Kulu's ankle - nothing given. How did that one look on TV? Haven't seen anything back - it was the other side of the box to my seat but it looked pretty obvious from my angle I was...

    yeah exactly, that idea changes nothing but moves the line to the back foot instead of the front foot. But is still the same conversation, the same measurement, the same dodgy MS Paint lines on the pitch...

    Supporters Most overrated stadium atmosphere?

    Only time I went to Upton Park was the lasagna-gate game... Was wrong-ending that day as well, awful day

    Supporters Most overrated stadium atmosphere?

    Not really overrated as such, but Craven Cottage earlier this year in the cup - that was one of the worst home crowds I've ever seen.

    Rules Video Assistant Referee

    I go to something like 60% of games (home & away) and it's always this horrible feeling that any time we score you slightly mute yourself until the other team has kicked off to restart play. It really does spoil things and the vast majority of the goals overturned are for extremely marginal...

    To me, the increased accuracy of decision making gets nowhere near close to outweighing the impact on the game. All goal celebrations are tempered by "Are they going to VAR it?" and that ruins the single most enjoyable part of watching football - the spontaneous explosion of a goal being...

    The Bournemouth offside one was a farce because they took so long and initially got it wrong, but at least in the end they got to the right decision. That's a mess of routine but the final decision was right. Don't know how it took more than about 30 seconds to do that, 5m30 is outrageous, but...

    The Palace one, the handball, it was absolutely clear. As said above you can see it deflects twice; once off the chest then again off the arm. It is clear to see the second deflection. It definitely hit his arm, there is no debate there. I've no idea why they chose to allow it because by rule...

    Probably that, but also it depends on who we're playing game to game.

    Sure, but we might sometimes, and either way it's good to have an LCB even in a 4-4-2

    Player Ben Davies

    I never wanted Davies gone, I've long said he's an extremely important member of the squad If we keep Lenglet & Reguilón plus Udogie coming through then I understand your point, but if Lenglet doesn't get signed up who else do we have for LCB?
