Apparently headlocks that prevent the opposition heading the ball are purely legal, how can someone sitting in a room with access to multiple cameras and angles get that decision wrong 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️, we're sounding like a broken record, but VAR is useless, also what the hell is Maguire thinking, worrying times at Man U and another result gained from fortune. (if a point is even a result) 

Considering the amount of points Man Utd have got through penalties in the last year I think you should be happy about VAR

I'm a football fan before I'm a Man United fan and VAR is ruining the beautiful game, if we get a penalty through VAR that is stonewall then yes it done its job, but when VAR award or don't award blatant fouls then it's soo frustrating and just puts a dampener on the match

VAR is fantastic it's the idiots using it and the stupid rules limiting it that are the issue. Remove the stupid "obvious error" nonsense and let VAR referee the game with the on field ref looking at any big issues. The issue is VAR is protected by the obvious error trash and they don't want to step on the toes of the on field ref who has no accountability, especially now as they just hide behind VAR.

I've seen alot say £10 is reasonable but I think that's still taking the piss, £5 I'd do without thinking about it tbh.

Yeah totally agree there mate, they’d get a lot more buyers with a £5, wouldn’t be surprised to see it changed soon, hopefully.

My daughter bought me a new mug for my birthday but i had to get rid of my Sports Direct mug as a compromise! That mug had been dropped several times it was a beast. Sadly it is now in mug heaven. 😂

Selling.

Hard to turn down a mug like that for only £50 to be fair.

That's still quite a lot, 39000 people would fill the majority of PL Stadiums, it's not my money, but people are stupid buying that crap, we need to protest with our wallets as they say

I disagree, like you said it's around stadium amount which is shocking considerating this was wildly available to basically anyone with a TV. Stadiums are restricted to their allocation, this was available to millions and hardly anyone bothered. Doesn't BBC live matches reach a couple million usually? I know that's "free" but it's easily accessible. 

[FuddledFox]

At £15 a pop the money being made on this by the time Sky/BT have had there cut is negligible and I can’t see it’s worth it to the clubs compared to the bad publicity it is generating.

£15 a month for all PL games would have every football fan in the country paying it and watching. £15 for a single game is a joke.

Yeah good point mate, i still find it to be too many, but in context its really not much

It's just over half a mil on average, per game, which yeah to PL clubs is a pretty minute amount, then as you say Sky and BT take their cut

That’s next to nothing when you consider how much a PL match ticket costs so it just furthers the point that on a PR level it’s not worth it.

Tactically this is outstanding viewing, I just wish it was longer. Showing the thought process and tactics behind Trent and Robbo

Will give that a watch later, I’ve watched a lot of behind the scenes videos from Liverpool lately and it’s mostly been these two, they come across very well, Robertson seems a right laugh. Love them kind of videos, like seeing how players are outside of football.

Sounds like PPV is carrying on in to next month?
