Obviously a draw means 2 points to our rivals instead of 3, but come the end of the season you could look back and wish one of them had zero. The problem being that we don't know who our rivals for the last Euro spots are yet. We don't expect City to be our rivals, so we want them to beat teams...
It's not as simple as that. You also have to work out where we'll finish - if we can just pip Utd, then yes, we want a Spurs win, but if Spurs should finish above Utd and we can pip them both, then maybe we want a Utd win. Without a crystal ball, we can't tell, but my guess is we want a Spurs...
It's not subjective, he was factually offside. The confusion was caused by the TV replays moving passed the actual offside, and making people think they were looking at whether anyone was interfering with play when the shot came in. But that wasn't the case, Bailey was offside before that.
They normally show a blue line and red line. This time they showed a blue line off Danjuma, but they didn't show a line off Bailey - they didn't need to, he was clearly passed the blue line.
Even before the lines, it was fairly obvious.
From the BBC page: "That incident is not going to help what anyone thinks of VAR"
It took way too long, but the simple fact is that the goal was correctly ruled out. For all VAR's fuckups, this one was more of a success than failure.
The drew a blue line on Danjuma, sat on the floor, and the Villa player that receives the ball is clearly stood past it. Given how long it took, I'm not even sure if that's what they gave it for, or they made up some other nonsense about interfering with play?
As with most stats, it can be quite misleading. With a game already won you could waste time bringing on someone new for the last couple of minutes, but that's not the same as having a bare bones squad.
