    So City lost to United, huh? Three points behind Leicester, who plays today.


    This makes me smile.

    Haven't seen you around in a while. Do you think Pep will be fired if he doesn't finish in second?

    I sincerely hope all is well for you, Peter.

    Nothing is in the bag yet; it’s not even Christmas. I’m still worried about our attacking and defending depth going through the season. Lovren is playing at CB because Matip is injured and Gomez is needed for cover at RB. Shaqiri and Origi are starting to get more minutes now and making them count, which is nice. But our only cover at left back is a 33 year old central midfielder. And that’s not to say Milner isn’t still a great player, but just like the year he played there while Alberto Moreno warmed the reserve bibs, that’s sort of not his bag. I’d like to see some money spent this January bringing in depth. Even if it’s youngsters who can grow into the role over the next few years, that’s fine. I’m not asking for David Alaba, but I’d have been thrilled with Ryan Sessegnon.

    As far as Pep goes, I could see him getting canned if they finish third or fourth behind Leicester and if a top manager is available over the summer. I was thinking that Diego Simeone might be on his way to Arsenal, but now with Napoli needing a new helmsman, I don’t know what’s going to be up with that. Equally likely is him leaving, I agree.

    Since when has “clear and obvious” included decisions of millimeters and nanoseconds? Sadie Mané’s goal should have stood; they’ve effectively taken the tie between the defender and the runner off the table. The implementation of VAR has been completely botched in the Prem. And it’s not just this goal; I’ve seen goals chalked off that no human would ever be able to judge for many teams this season. Ridiculous.

    Tomorrow, when they host Everton, Man. United will reach an astonishing 4,000 consecutive games where a player they have been responsible for developing has been part of their matchday squad.

    It’s a staggering statistic, one that dates back to October 1937 and a game against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

    Marvellous.

    Look, pragmatically I’m happy with a 1-0 lead going into halftime. But philosophically, Wolves have every right to feel aggrieved by that VAR offside decision. No human would have called that off. No human is capable of calling that off. It was not clear and obvious. The Wolves goal should stand. They’re not following their own laws when it comes to offside and VAR review.

    Another millimeter decision to chalk off a goal for Sheffield. This is not what VAR is supposed to be.

    No, but off is off and on is on, and we don’t get the fairly frequent mistakes that linesmen used to make.
