Big win for Man City. Leeds should've been ahead really from DCL.

Bit of a smash and grab today. At least it keeps the title interesting.

Another unconvincing but vital, ballsy win for City.

Tbh Arsenal or City are pretty much equally likely to win the league. Gonna be fine margins. Arsenal with the better defence and overall squad, City with the best attackers and difference makers. They might have to play each other 4 times still this season, with the league, Caraboa and CL. All to play for.

Given our away form we may well be the team that hands the title to Man City.

Are most teams just a bit knackered?

Got to wait for the draw now but Marine and Southport both in FA Trophy Semi finals. Southend and Wealdstone the other two teams but Southport v Marine would be a great tie for a semi final and a shot at Wembley

Did that even hit Barnes' arm?

Burnley absolutely fucked over by VAR.

You can’t be sure that’s even hit his hand, and the offside one is so, so harsh as well.

Sickening for them that.

Yeah, just watching MOTD, that handball's a joke and it took nearly 5 minutes to get to the punchline.

What an embarrassment VAR is becoming, honestly, just do away with it and let Neville and Carragher etc argue about the calls after the game.

Just seen those 2 VAR disallowed goals for Burnley.

Absolutely pathetic.

The margins for offside are ridiculous.

Before VAR they always gave the advantage to the attacker, offside for me needs to be daylight.

For me, if any part of your body is in line with the last defender it should be onside.

Daylight is easier to see from a still image too.

Three points for them today would have had them four points off 17th with us away from home next which is a very winnable game for them considering how bad we are at home.

Taken away by two ridiculous decisions.

If VAR didn’t exist nobody would even question that offside goal. It’s not been brought in for stuff like this.

Burnley shifted again . Must have been 1cm at best .
No "5cm rule" "zone of tolerance" applied again.
