I cannot stand VAR and think it's brought nothing but negatives to the game.
However, it exists and at the moment we're stuck with it, so this is all kind of pointless. It's like creating a table based on 'what would the table look like without the offside rule' or 'if headed goals count double'.....it's meaningless.

I think the use of VAR has improved slightly as the season has gone on. The whole only overturning a clear and obvious mistake, like Vardy's first penalty on Sunday is the way to go.
The offsides still remain an issue for me. I thought when it was announced that they would be fairly black and white in that it is either offside, or not. With the technological imperfections, there is no way we should be measuring whether an elbow or a toe is offside.

Funny, I thought the reason Spurs finished below West Ham was them spunking away a three goal lead against the Hammers in eight minutes; I mean without that Spurs would finish above West Ham on GD.
Seems I was wrong, Spurs league position is actually down to a deep state conspiracy of Premier League officials and referees.
Apparently it goes back as far as 1966 and that was the reason Jimmy Greaves was dropped from the World Cup final, he was Spurs and the football authorities hate Spurs. Nothing to do with and and some bad shakes after all.
Is there a table for incorrect decisions made by refs which were then ignored by the VAR so that they didn't undermine the ref?
