    I thought VAR was going to chew it up & spit it out.

    Just seen the highlights and I still don't think the Pogba penalty should be given.... to me it looks like he's already on his way down before the contact ?

    I reckon he was avoiding the defenders leg tbh, he was cut off and the defender didn’t get the ball so had every right to go down. No one appealed as well.

    I think I'd have lobbed my TV out the window if that had been disallowed due to his shoulder or armpit being a mm offside.

    Daniel James looked out of depth got caught with the ball a lot, rubbish crosses and booked for diving.

    Man Utd players are, rightly, angry with racist abuse aimed at Pogba. They want more to be done by social media companies, but surely racism is a crime and it is the police who should be dealing with it?

    That said, it would be pretty easy to ban accounts reported for racism - but then Twitter would end up empty!

    I think that it is easy to ban accounts but this does not mean that they wouldn't reappear under different names or addresses. The other problem is that if the comment has come from abroad it makes it very difficult to prosecute, so something that sounds simple is pretty difficult to enforce.

    Fair play to Leicester, starting with five attacking players (and Ricardo is hardly shy in going forward either). I hadn't realised that earlier.

    Could be quite fun watching them this season, if they do that on a regular basis. Certainly a change from their last two years.
