The whole thing was ridiculous, if this is how VAR is going to work this season then football is f**ked. 

VAR was awful last season and I dont expect better this time.

I hope you're right. Not so sure myself. 

Apparently Spurs have paid a £9m loan fee and their only paying a percentage of Bale's wages. Seems like a pretty low risk gamble on their part. 

I've been on the avoid Bale at all costs train since about 2016, and that was before his systematic injury's and new found preference for golf.

Players who got to where they are largely thanks to physical ability are the one's that tend to badly bottom out, as we found out with Torres and Essien.

This United team will struggle whenever they can't sit back and do counterattacks. Their central defence and defensive midfield is so slow.

I wish someone would go straight through this f**ker with a chopper style challenge.

Its the new handball law in the penalty that needs to be looked at ,as VAR and the refs are only acting on that law > 3 seasons back that penalty would never have been given and the penalty that should never have been given would also never have to been retaken after utd keeper stole a inch or two via his feet looking for a addvantage .

It's managed to get even worse, which I thought was impossible.

We all knew our refs are incompetent. Not they have to be  more so. Anthony Taylor we are looking at you.

Tell you what who ever negotiated the maguire deal at Leicester needs a increase they absolutely mugged United off LOL LOL LOL 

Can’t see West Ham getting anything here unfortunately 

Then arsenal score a goal that looks offside and VAR barely even bothers. Unbelievable. 

If that Palace pen was given then that one against Arsenal should have been given as well. 

Arsenal seem to be going through a period where everything is going their way, the media will then be saying that Arteta is the best thing since....Pep

Just shows how ridiculous VAR is, its still open to interpretation. Surely the VAR ref is the same for both games?

There should be retrospective punishments for blatant cheating like this. There would be uproar if that was one of our boys.

Likewise Arsenal.

Arteta has done a good job there but f**k me, style wise he appears to have learned more from Moyes than he has Pep. Arsenal are utter w**k to watch.

Arsenal brought back down to earth that half after beating a terrible Fulham side, west ham were the better team.

Going to call it now, Arshavin 2.0

The inconsistency of VAR makes it absolutely pointless for me.

Exactly. All supporters want correct decisions but what we really want is consistency and these two games this evening have yet again highlighted just how bad VAR is.

It's one thing refs getting things wrong, but when you have a faceless thing that no-one can question f**king up this badly, you wonder where football is heading?

The whole things a farce, 2 almost Identical situations but one's given one isn't. Why didnt the ref go to the monitor in the arsenal game but he did in the Utd game?

Yeah I think most fans would accept if the rules were applied consistently but they’re not and that’s what is infuriating people. 

He's said it again, praising Willian for his consistency.... Its amazing what a move to arsenal does for a players reputation... 

How TF are Arsenal not getting beat here. It’s unreal. West Ham have had 3 or 4 great chances. You can just tell Arsenal will find the winner.

Shows all that over the top praise last week was rubbish. 

West ham have been far the better side so far second half.
