    Wow, he's absolutely cleaned his clock there, may as well let players just absolutely rugby tackle eachother when the balls in the air

    It’s nuts what goalkeepers can get away with.

    How many years did United go without conceding a penalty?

    Old Trafford  = no pen for the visitors. 

    Absolute joke.

    If I was Gary O'Neil I'd tell my keeper to  clear out the opposition striker next game. Cant give a pen then can they.

    Worrying that the premier league might be fixed.

    Wasted a couple of hours watching a game that Wolves were never going to be allowed to win.

    Won't bother next week!

    Awful awful decision. If that’s not a pen I don’t know what is.

    Wolves so unlucky.

    Man Utd were absolutely horrific. Totally and utterly atrocious performance.

    May as well get Maynard-Brewer to wear boxing gloves tomorrow, every corner just lay one on their nearest player

    Nailed on penalty which I was very confident wouldn't be given.

    And meanwhile are ridiculously protected themselves.

    Deffo a pen, big club corruption surprise surprise. 

    If you don't think that's a pen you have to be delusional or a ManU fan. Don't rate Onana, think he seems really flappy, seems to have a good goal kick on him but doesn't look assured enough to be a top goalie, will see as the season goes on though

    They're desperate for United to be back in the big time. That 'penalty' decision was straight from the Fergie era. 
  • Nailed on penalty which I was very confident wouldn't be given.
    Unreal! Onana's face changes shape as he clatters into the Wolves centre forward so hard, he has arms around him too for good measure!

    Replay the match. Ref should be suspended along with the VAR officials.

    That’s genuinely terrible. Everyone saw the replay and knew it was a penalty, apart from Michael Salisbury I suppose.

    It was a clear and obvious error. Exactly what var is there for. Yet var gets used for a toenail being offside 🤦‍♂️

    Romeo Lavia has apparently chosen to join Chelsea over Liverpool now as well…
    I've read that the Lavia deal (50m) will take their spending to over 900m in 3 windows since Boehly took over. 

    Chelsea the club with a 40k capacity.
    Can anyone explain how one club can spend 900 million in 3 windows and this is ok with Fair play ?
    How much have they received for players going out ?
    Good to see yet another player who wants to play in the Champions League, NOT.
    Amortisation. Most of their players are on 6/7/8 year contracts so the cost is spread. If you buy a 100m player on an 8 year contract it costs you 12.5m a year. They sold over 250m of players this summer, so for now they're ok. 

    Also all of their signings are fairly young with an eye on the future so they won't continue to spend like this. 

    They'll be fucked though if a few of the players don't perform because they won't be able to sell players when they're on long expensive contracts, and also if they don't get back into the Champions league.
    Saw a piece Simon Jordan did on talksport explaining exactly how they are doing it
    Here you go...

    Have read this morning that the VAR ref last night was the same one that robbed Brighton at the Spurs multi-purpose events arena last season...

    They dont learn, do they?

    I am still fuming about last night and I have no great affection for Wolves but if that wasn't a penalty we should all give up. The VAR official responsible should be retired and the league should apologise. Oh, they have. If this was the same official responsible for last season's debacle, what is he doing adjudicating on these things?

    just don't see how the VAR ref can look at it and say no?, surely 1 of the 3/4 fellas in the studio would've said 'oh come on that's nailed on'

    VAR mistakes barely cause a ripple these days. It seems we were all conned by the "clear and obvious" line and now we are virtually no better off than before when it comes to subjective decisions being taken by a bloke in a studio rather than the ref on the pitch. 

    Some people might say "I told you so", but it's really pointless discussing it any more. The techcy nerds won and they now have their sights set on there being 30 minutes of additional time being played each game.

    But the problem is, and I know I'm like a worn record on this, is that you have idiots in charge of football who think they can achieve perfection. It creates messes. Use technology to make things better. And under better comes a whole host of different areas including the flow  of games.

    Should go to a commercial break for every decision and let viewers at home have a voting influence, press red for penalty, green for no penalty. Before the season you have to input who you support, so only "neutral" votes are taken into consideration. Instead of holed up in a box somewhere the VAR judges have to sit pitch side and hold up paddles with "Pen" or "No Pen" on them. There will be 4 judges in total so if there's a draw we take it to the public vote. Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards can be like Ant and Dec and host the VAR judging

    It's just laughable isn't it. I know it's a tired argument but games are getting ruined by those marginal calls that take 3/4 minutes to call yet something like this is just okayed... How have they still not got it sorted  out after what 3 full seasons now of VAR 
  • Jokes aside, that's one of the worst VAR decisions I've ever seen(& there's been some stinkers)

    Things like that add fuel to the belief that premier league gomes could be rigged. Terrible 
  • Wolves boss Gary O'Neil said elite referees manager Jon Moss told him he "could not believe" the error.

    It is also understood referees' chief Howard Webb, who is head of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), also contacted Wolves officials after the match to apologise.

    "Jon Moss said it was a blatant penalty and should have been given - fair play to him, he apologised," said O'Neil after the match, which United won with Raphael Varane's 76th-minute header.

    "I have spent a lot of time with him today to understand the new guidelines, trying not to get myself booked in the first game, which I have failed in. But fair play to Jon for coming out and saying it was a clear and obvious error - he couldn't believe the on-field referee didn't give it and can't believe VAR [video assistant referee] didn't intervene."
