Just the two ruled out so far in Fulham’s favour.

Arsenal won't win this and I'm so confident that yesterday I put a decent size bet on a Fulham win. £240 return.

Fulham offered absolutely nothing going forward, just waiting for Arsenal to bring out the weekly shotgun and blow their own foot off.

Were the odds poor?

We are 7/1 today

I put £50 down, and think it was something close to 4/1. It's £190 + £50 that I'll win later, unless Arsenal hold them to a draw.

VAR really needs to have some discretion when it's a toenail that's offside.

The longer this goes, the worse for us. Too many games end with one side "stealing" the points. Got to say Fulham are defending pretty well

And now we're witnessing referee's awarding penalties solely on the basis that VAR *could* disallow them.

This game has been a disgrace to the spirit of the game.

Did Gabriel even touch him? they didn't even bother looking at the ''foul'' just the offside? The onfield referee didn't give the penalty, the lino did. Why didn't he look at the screen?

Fulham’s decisions from VAR for the past month have been incredibly suspect. Everything possible being done to try and keep ‘Scottie’ up.

No less offside than Arsenal's goal, looked a dive too. Just don't understand what VAR is offering the game at all. Ruining my enjoyment for sure.

Never a penalty in a million years. Just threw himself up in the air expecting contact. And the ref and var fell for it.

Exactly.

The referee only gave it because he knows that VAR are sharing the responsibility for the award.

So wrong decisions get rubber stamped by VAR.

It's cowardly and wrong.

When we play Fulham, which is looking like the decider quite possibly - you just wait, VAR will be key.

I think it's worse than that.

I think the referee there delibrately gave a wrong decision. If he hadn't awarded it he'd be the sole arbiter.

But by giving it, the decision automatically gets reviewed. So he gave a wrong decision based on the knowledge that he'd receive "backup" from VAR.

And VAR simply rubber stamped the orginial incorrect decision.
