it was great seeing West Ham get beat by AFC Wimbledon. 

I didn't understand their team selection as they should be trying to win this FA Cup

Especially just to bring on Anderson at half time anyway.

West Ham are the same as Leicester, a cup win would turn an ok season into a memorable one. I remember the dilemma when Wigan won the cup and went down, as if the 2 are mutually exclusive! But id rather Rovers won the FA Cup and got relegated than stayed up and didnt.

Easy to say after a win but i felt that Solskjaer treat the Arsenal game perfectly. He did make 2 or 3 changes but they didnt necessarily weaken them, they gave starts to Lukaku and Sanchez with Rashford and Martial both coming on later. The game on Friday night was excellent to watch with 2 of the big 6 wanting to win.

Klopps team selection v Wolves was very strange for a man yet to win a trophy in England. Him and Pochettino should be all out in the cup to get a trophy.

So Wednesday should have had either a penalty or a corner.

The ref gives the penalty but VAR overruled. 

As it is referred to VAR, the game is restarted as an uncontested drop ball (instead of the corner) from which chelsea go straight down the other end and score.

VAR worked very well in the World Cup, where there were no English refs. As soon as our refs get hold of it carnage commences. Why do the officials not go over to the screen and look at the incident before overturning the decisions, that was one of the reasons why it  worked so well at the World Cup. English football is awash with such money yet we still have the worse refs in the world, cowboys the lot of them.

Not sure of the rules regarding the drop ball. Did Sheff W decline to contest it?

Either way. Ref should look at a screen to make decisions, not some shadowy figures in a London office.

'Umpire's call' would possibly have still given a penalty to Sheff. That's where they really need to clarify things.

I see Steve Agnew manages the Owls, just about to be fed to the dogs at Chelski...

I just had a nightmarish flashback when I saw Agnes just then. Poor bloke looks like that tosspot K***.

Next season when they have it in the Premier League all VAR referrals will be decided on by a referee sat in a warm studio at Stockley Park. There will be no viewing a monitor pitch side by the on field referee, he will be told what decision to give.

How has it worked if the wrong decision is given at the end?

It's a corner to Sheffield Wednesday but the ref incorrectly gives a penalty. VAR overrules the ref and its suddenly an uncontested drop ball. 

Wednesdays next touch is kicking off 1-0 behind.

VAR has surely to give the correct decision which was corner.

Absolutely crazy isn't it. The fact that the ref could go to the screen in the World Cup was a key reason in why it worked with this half cooked idea that we have come up with games in effect have two referees.

I understand the PL Chairmen and Chief Execs wanted it that way. I was speaking to a friend who is in a senior position in refereeing and I said the on field referee might as well be redundant if the big decisions are taken away from him. Any game changing calls are out of their hands. It'll be money for old rope for them.

Play has to “stop” when the referee blows his whistle surely? It’s the only way football decisions can work.
