I actually think if this level of recourse existed VAR officials might think more carefully about some decisions.
I’d rather there was less thinking about decisions. The agonising for minutes over offside decisions is ridiculous (for example).

Yeah last season all the promoted teams did really well, so can’t read too much into what is most likely a temporary trend.

If we’d beaten Spurs then it would have been City for the fourth time in seven seasons.
Although superficially true, in the alternate reality where we won against Spurs, all subsequent events would be altered, including the order in which the numbered 4th round balls were drawn.
