Manchester United were beaten by Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Were the reds abysmal or did Crystal Palace do a job on Solskjaer's side? Newcastle United beat Spurs in a game they were written off in before it even started - Steve Bruce picked up his first 3 points as Toon boss! Was it genius from the Geordie or were Tottenham just poor? And VAR. Yep. Again. Subscribe to the podcast now and never miss a show, 7 days a week.

Wolves versus Manchester united ended up in a 1-1 draw on Monday night in the Premier League, and it's absolutely no shock to learn VAR was a talking point after a controversial penalty decision involving Paul Pogba. Did the Frenchman dive? Sean Dyche was certainly unhappy after his Burnley side lost 2-1 at Arsenal, even saying that he fears for the future of football with the amount of diving taking place. Does the Clarets boss have a point, or does he just sound like a whiny old man? Social media is rife with abuse of players, most of which goes unpunished. What can be done to stop this?
