I mean there are pretty strong arguments that the first and second goal of Leicester shouldn't have stood (offside and foul in the build up).
Premier League Gameweek 24

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I hate not playing on Saturday but not playing on Saturday or Sunday? Bleh.
I like Monday night football but I don't ever want it to be a Chelsea game.

Leicester vs Liverpool and Manchester City vs Tottenham were interesting matches and positive results for us too 
What argument is there for the first goal? It would have been a pen without var too. So you can't then moan about the goal when var have deemed it onside anyway?!
Id have to see the second goal again but it looked a simple defensive howler.
Yeah, maybe...but feck em!
When did we last play in the middle of the day? It feels like its been months!
Big Brom today.

I don’t get this, he kicks through gundogans standing right left with his left. It’s clumsy and there is clear contact. It doesn’t matter that his left foot lands on him first, that’s not what the penalty is for.
Hojberg just gets too tight and then stupidly kicks through him, no excuses for that unfortunately.
How so? We're closer to City than we are Spurs!Leicester vs Liverpool and Manchester City vs Tottenham were interesting matches and positive results for us too
The way the lines are drawn are all over the place (
). I like VAR, but the implementation sometimes has been ridiculous. Using mm analysis for situations where you can't exactly know (when the football was kicked, which area of the body is closest to the goal etc.) is beyond dumb. And even when they use this kind of analysis, they often get it wrong. The photo in the tweets show that the blue line is nowhere near Firmino's foot and then green line does not start at Amartey's sleeve. And the people asking for a VAR time limit should realise that that will make VAR mistakes way more prominent because of the time pressure.Tweet

I forgot if the original decision (before VAR) was a penalty or not but if it was a penalty then you make a fair point.
The second one Mane is clearly fouled (pushed:
) allowing Leicester to win back possession, counter and score.Tweet

Hah?? Gundogan kicked Hojberg's right foot back ankle first. It's as clear as summer in Sahara.
If you look at it from behind, Gundogan reaches out and trips Holberg
It's clearly a foul by Gundogan, I really cannot see how VAR have not overturned that. It's as clear as a clear thing.
It's definitely a foul by Gundogan, he studs his ankle. Seems akin to that penalty we somehow got given against Villa at their place last season.
It is. I went to mauritius in December and this is the first time we are playing at 6pm our time (most of the games have been midnight here)
Poor Saints, having to play Wolves back-to-back. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Hoping for another Southampton win here.
Fantastic finish my Ings. Wow
1-0 Ings
Armstrong and Ings are two great players.
Hope Southampton win. Southampton were probably the team that I would have least like to beat 9-0.
Why couldn't it have been Burnley etc.

Vestergaard so good today both defensively but especially on the ball.
I'm sorry but I can't seriously accept that as a logical penalty decision.
1-1
It's GW 24
Agree, don't know what handball is anymore.
Now, that's what I call a good goal.
Neto is very good
Class goal from Neto
Just buy him before someone else does ffs. Buy buy buy buy.
I am firmly Neto in.

That guy just screams Man Utd winger.
Adama Traore surely is the most overrated player in the Premier League. Yes he is extremely quick, yes he is really good at running at players - but I have rarely seen a player with so little end-product as Traore
I looked up his stats and they are even worse than I expected - 5 goals and 12 assists would be good stats in one season - but when those are the stats of your entire P.L career - 126 matches - it's awful.

Why did we bring Henderson back? New 120k contract aswell wasn’t it?
50 points lost from leading positions for Saints since Ralfie was appointed.
That's a lot of points.
12 more than the next team which I think was West Brom.
He had a purple patch last season but seems to have reverted back to his underwhelming self.
A bit of overreaction at the Wolves bench 
It’s hojbergs left leg kicking gundogan for why the penalty was given. Forget the first bit and watch his trailing leg come through and kick him
I've honestly still not recovered from someone suggesting he's the best player in the world earlier in the season, I forget which thread.
Is there a team in the world who like to make things harder for themselves than United?
