I'm glad you said "one" of the weaknesses, as we have a number. One at the side of pitch perhaps.

Well, that last minute goal by Dawson was handball in anyone's language. VAR failure again.

Sorry but i don't see it that way.
The rule is that handball has to be below the shirt sleeve and from what i have seen is that the ball hit halfway between shirt sleeve and arm so the ref gave it and Var didn't see as a clear and obvious error.
As Glen Murray pointed out on MOTD it's ls like the goal technology in which the whole of ball has be over the line to be given and i think this applies to the same thing as in as long as some of the ball is in contact with the shirt sleeve then a goal has to be given.
I must admit it's another thought up stupid rule by the authorities and how would they sort it out if a player was wearing a long sleeve jersey?

Bad news for Newcastle as Trippier has a broken foot. Although given his contributions over the last few games I'd say he's been well worth the fee even if he is out for the rest of the season.

A shambolic ninety minutes against Newcastle from Villa. That was probably the worst performance this season. Apart from the disallowed goal, we never threatened to score. An absolute brilliant free kick by Trippier and a well deserved win by The Magpies.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall in the Villa dressing room after the match, Gerrard is going to have to make quite a few changes for the Watford game on Saturday.

What happens when you wear a long sleeved shirt ?

That allowed goal by Dawson was a travesty, a regular scenario for VAR. This talk about the ball hitting half way between sleeve and arm is a nonsense. If the ball is deemed to hit the hand, it doesn't matter if it hits 20% of the hand, or 50% of the hand, or 1 finger when a player jumps with his hand in the air. It hits the hand . . . Ergo handball !
We couldn't see on the close up pictures if the ball actually hit the sleeve, yes it looked as if it might, we certainly could see it hit the part of the arm deemed to be handball. Should have been disallowed.

Watched the game live on sky and MOTD and they froze the frame when he scored.I would say definitely more sleeve than bare arm.
You think it’s handball I don’t so we’ll have to Agee to disagree.

As a west ham supporter i can't condone this.
There's always a minority of idiots and morons who will tarnish the clubs reputation.

Darn, and there was I going to hold you personally responsible!
No, sadly, all clubs have their morons (some of them on the pitch even) Leicester's so-called 'baby squad' are no source of pride for me, yet you get those that aspire to it.

A Fair reply. By the way, when I said 'This lot' I meant those in the video, not the club in general.

Why didn't Sky show Man U v Brighton live? It was on at 11pm.

They were showing something more interesting?
Apparently as a rescheduled match it couldn't be. Would have been on BT originally according to the Great God Google
