    Never mind, the bookies know the time of day and they haven't deserted us, Leeds are long odds-on to go down.

    You can get 9/4 against us going down, might soften the blow should it all go Pete Tong on Sunday ?

    Well it’s ended in a goal so technically they should look at it as they gained a large advantage - we switched off mind as well and paid the price.

    VAR is a complete and utter waste of time as I’ve said many times before - FIFA - UEFA and the premier league have ruined football.

    How is man of 14 stone meant to tackle win the ball but stop his forward momentum having done so , sadly they’re making a farce of the game and it’s only going one way from here.

    Hope we get some quick players who know how to dive roll around and basically cheat for next year, honesty is not rewarded in the beautiful game anymore.

    Cornet is obviously learning the dark arts, my wife thought he had been shot from the stand. PENALTY!

    The biggest joke of all is that VAR was introduced to put an end to controversy over refereeing decisions. There is now more controversy than there ever was before. How funny is that.

    I thought the concept of VAR was to correct "clear and obvious" refereeing errors.

    Instead the eejits down at Stockley Park are trawling images to find anything to punish a team they don't care for.

    We seem to be on the wrong end of far too many of these "controversial" decisions.

    There is no consistency with VAR whatsoever and it is ruining the game, it has certainly robbed us of precious points, but if Weghorst could actually hit the target from a yard out quite frankly it wouldn’t have mattered, still not down bring on Sunday and survival.
