....in the League. 5 more in all comps and about 20 more last season :p

The penalty was very soft - people will argue it was a pen but it's the sort of pen that's rarely given to most sides.

Its really not. In the scheme of penalties that was stonewall. That is nothing like the usual "going down under a stiff breeze". You won't stay on your feel when your heel are clipped and your legs smack into each other. You get those every time especially with VAR. If you can show me another tackle like that which didn't result in a penalty I am happy to eat my words.
 
We still need a third. Almost guaranteed that we will concede a goal in the last 15.

Come on fez, you can't be serious with that first sentence. And you certainly don't get them every time with VAR - just the other day we didn't get a penalty when the Newcastle keeper grabs hold of Mane's leg let alone two players brushing together.

I can understand why you think they're always given though because they generally are for Utd in the past 18 months. It's not the norm for other sides though.

I read the post and your point is United have had more penalties over a period of time than other teams so what

It's quite easy to understand alex, he is replying to somebody trying to arguing against the point that Utd have had more pens than other sides. He made a counter point to fez's.

Pogba kicked the Villa player which meant he kicked himself. If thats stonewall then lol.

Sure Baz ;)

They didn't "brush together" but you clearly can't see anything else so there isn't much point debating this.

Even your fellow Utd supporters have said it's soft, maybe it's your view of the incident that's wrong rather than mine :)

Its your job as the defender not to hit the attackers legs. Its not his job to avoid the defenders if the defender wants to get that close to you.
