Wonder how it will be in the FA Cup now...

I imagine it will be either the ref/VAR screw us or our defence does or both.

Further fuel for the conspiracy theory. Villa player takes a dramatic fall, no pen. Whereas we know the outcome in the first half was very different.

Agreed, they are the form team at the mo.

Southampton might give United a good game! I'm unsure we'll even get a result at Sheffield United though

Guys is it true that FIFA are taking over VAR for all major leagues next season? Read about this today but not sure if it has been confirmed or just speculation. We need more consistency from VAR it's getting ridiculous now.

They're not that great. They're in a good form now but the quality of the opposition in their post quarantine run-in made them look better than they really are, no one really tested them yet.

I actually think we can do quite well against them in the cup.

Greenwood is OK I remember Rashford started like that before he stalled so let's see if he can continue that form but he looks deadly infront of goal 

United actually look very solid team now, strong defence, powerful and creative midfield, and a front 3 that score goals. 

Annoying tbh.

He’s incredibly biased. I used to like him but this season he’s come across as a total knob. It’s painfully clear how much his united connections affect him and it’s cringeworthy to watch.

Totally agreed, I’ve noticed when he’s commentated on our games how he’s been very biased against us.

I’m not one for conspiracies or claiming bribery but questions need to be asked. At its worst these referees are on the take. At its best, they are grossly incompetent. Neither of which are acceptable in a global brand like the PL! 
is there any other country in the world where VAR has been implement where there’s as much of a cluster f**k as England? I would say no. The refereeing contingent in the PL needs a massive overhaul to be brought up to standard.

I'm not even suprised at this point. There is no doubt in my mind anymore that something dodgy is going on, it's just happening too often with United. There is no way a single person can look at that and honestly say that was a penalty. 

I'm not having the incompetence excuse anymore. They are refs trained at the highest level, they probably have the rulebook memorised in their heads, but they can't see the obvious cheating here from Bruno Fernandes? f**k that. 

Top 4 would be done if it wasn't for VAR. If it wasn't for the amount of decisions that have gone against us (wrongly) we would have a lot more points and United would have a lot less. Put one of our players in that exact same position with the same refs and they would come to the correct call.

Fernades is a serial diver, how could he get away with it game after game with VAR in action is beyond belief. What's the big deal with that Gaelish guy? As the best player in that average team, he couldn't get a shot on target, get fouled a lot but rarely in dangerous positions, and more often that not when the team was crying out for a player in the box, he's no where near it.  This guy is a 80M player, seriosuly?

People often get described as paranoid or tin foil hat wearers when bringing this stuff up, but is it really so far fetched to think that something odd is going on? With the amount of cheating and corruption I have seen in Football in my life, I don't see why people wave away or laugh at those that are suspicious. It happened in Serie A in 2006, so why should we just assume this kind of thing hasn't been going on in other leagues?

Football clubs, footballers, FIFA, UEFA, they have all been punished for corruption in recent times, and it continues as we speak, so saying there could be a few corrupt refs or even accusing the F.A and Premier League of being corrupt doesn't seem very far fetched to me.

That defence is dodgy hell & De Gea presently is just a bit better than Kepa. It’s that front 3 that keeps opponentson their toes all game long.

united have only conceded 3 in 2020 in the league. De gea has a mistake in him, but the dont give up many goals.

Ok so I`m late to the party and I`ve only just seen that penalty to Utd, but how in the name of John Terry is that a f**king penalty, just how.....The only thing it can be is a foul BY the Utd player, not on him? And VAR looked at it? What an absolute joke.

They are coming into form just before we play them in the FA semis ?

Relax. We beat Leicester in the FA Cup, and it's practically carved in stone that we then proceed to win it.

Lol that is a red card for Fernades he has looked at him as he stamped down on his ankle.

My word that plus the no goal for Sheff united and villa park has seen some truly appalling calls.

He even went down hold his shin claiming to be in agony.

Our one last night was wrong but that one was one of if not the worst penalties I've ever seen.

Undefendable!

United are due a few bad results, they will get complacent. I remember when they had a good run before under OGS and everyone said they were back, then they fell back into the usual average run of form.

Hopefully starting Monday!

You know it's dodgy when they have to start justifying the dubious calls

??

So the FA have came out and said 3 decisions last night were wrong, Spuds not getting a penalty, Sheff Utd`s penalty and surprise surprise, that joke of a penalty for Man Utd. I`m sure Villa, who now are almost certain to be relegated, are really pleased to hear that.
