I decided to look at that video. First I'll just say the potato quality is funny given that it's from less than a year ago as opposed to 1993. There's little reason not to have HQ video.

As for the pens.

1 - Zouma reaches out with his foot and steps on Rashfords foot. Seems pretty obvious to me
2 - Coady steps up and Pogba beats him. Just cause he put his hands up doesn't mean he didn't commit a foul
3 - McTominay literally gets kicked in the leg as he's running in the box. Stonewall.
4 - Soyuncu tries to step across Rashford and takes him down. Pretty clear.
5 - An awful call. One clear example where VAR was idiotic.
6 - An extremely obvious handball
7 - Sissoko challenges Rashford from behind and steps on his foot.
8 - Silva commits a super obvious foul by stepping across Rashfords legs and tripping him
9 - Kroll dove at Williams and took him down. Clear pen.
10 - Keeper dives at Bruno and doesn't get the ball. Another clear pen.
11 - Dier is an idiot and tries to arm wrestle Pogba in the box while mostly behind him. That's a pen.
12 - Obvious handball.
13 - Bad call. Bruno tried to turn and ended up stepping on the defenders foot.
14 - Martial is brought down when in alone. As obvious as you'll ever see since he was actually fouled by two players at once.

So 2 bad calls (which if you go back to the threads, you'll see United fans saying they were bad at the time), a bunch of absurdly obvious calls, and maybe a couple (at best) 50/50s

1. Minimal contact, not a foul
2. No contact at all
3. No contact at all, if any there was an accidental clip of the hel and that isn’t a penalty.
4. Jumps and blatantly dives from a shoulder to shoulder. Should be a yellow for a dive.
5. Yeah obviously no foul
6. Handball outside the box. Also depends on how you interpret the rule.
7. He doesn’t touch his foot at all. Rashford runs beside the foot, goes down and dives.
8. Very slight contact, 50/50 call.
9. Williams jumps a second before Krul even gets there. The worst call of them all.
10. Fernandes is going down before Foster touches him.
11. Pogba goes down unnaturaly without any sort of proper physical duel against Dier. Not a penalty.
12. Handball but accidental and dependant on rule interpretation.
13. Ridiculous call and happy you agree.
14. Söyüncü gets the ball first, but that can absolutely be a penalty as well.

Any non United fan, please agree with me. I don’t understand most of those calls.

That's because you don't understand football or it's rules. Your posting history on this board is evidence of that.

United won't ever regress in the VAR calls because they're the biggest and most favourite club in England where football is a serious business (ask the fans who broke into Old Trafford).

Like people laugh at UEFAlona and at this point of stage it's nothing else but a silly comment. However, UEFAlona didn't arise just because of just smoke. There was a fire which produced that smoke and here's a collection of it.


Imagine being dumb enough to create that video. Now imagine being dumb enough to post it on an online forum. Now imagine being dumb enough to like the post. Now imagine having a fantasy football team called “Perez the Great”. And people wonder why the world is going to shit.

God, these fans are a reflection of a fallen team.
Reduced to having to brag about nearly winning 2nd tier competitions and the degraded FA Cup.

I was too high on Wolves, had them getting the conference league spot, and Sheffield, thought mid table. I was too low on West Ham, had them mid table, and Leeds, had them safe but fighting off relegation.

They just looked destined to go down off the back of last season.
Which looking back on it, wasn't the right conclusion to draw, myself included. Their form after restart was actually pretty good, but there was more of a circus surrounding the club and it's not like they invested heavily. No one was more pessimistic than West Ham supporters, so all credit to the Moyesiah.

Pretty bad generally. Took the city prediction right on the chin lol. Thankfully I don't actually know any city fans so

Liverpool had injuries. Timing was off on Spurs - thought the honeymoon would last a little longer before blowing up. Spot on Chelsea. United stayed largely injury free which helped a lot. Still feel the same about Arsenal

Teams that were much better than I expected - Villa and West Ham.

Sheffield and Wolves fared way worse.



====================================================================================
1) Liverpool - lots of change for competitors and compressed schedules. They know what they are and need to be.

2) City - no Messi, no party. They’ll talk a lot of shit about a redemption tour but they’ve choked a lot lately.

3) Chelsea - still not convinced of Lampard but the talent is immense

4) Spurs - the one good Jose year before it implodes next season

5) United - think the depth hurts and they've needed to win every game since the restart. With Europa, not a lot of rest and a condensed schedule.

6) Arsenal - not convinced of the MF/Def

7) Wolves
8) Leicester
9) Everton
10) Southampton
11) Leeds
12) Sheffield
13) Burnley
14) Brighton
15) Palace
16) West Ham
17) Newcastle
18)WBA
19) Villa
20)Fulham
