One Mailboxer urges football to get to grips with fans behaving like pr*cks. Also: Plenty on VAR; how to incentivise refs; City's banners and boards; and Arsenal.

Perhaps this esteemed site could take a lead and once in awhile, suspend the usual click bait about VAR or the pointless hand wringing about the latest Corporation trying to bend the rules and start a dialogue about how this issue could be fixed. The claim that “it’s society’s problem” or “it’s just banter” does not hold water as no other sport I am aware of has this problem. If one exhibited this type of vitriol at work or other social settings, you’d be fired or asked to leave.
The second half started poorly for United similar to the game on Wednesday but United were able to stop Leeds from taking the lead. The game then went back to being more United on the ball with Leeds countering until Martinez and Garnacho came on. Martinez instantly made our defence better as he matched the tone of the game and calmed the game down when Leeds were doing well.
Also, just like in the players’ league, the top officiating teams would then qualify in the Champions League. After the group stages, their performances are assessed with the top 8 officiating teams advancing to handle the knockouts.
Consider Szymon Marciniak. Who? That would be the referee of the World Cup final. The man who was widely praised for the exceptional job that he did on the biggest stage in world football. Where does he referee day to day? The Polish Ekstraklasa… why on earth is the man referred to as the worlds best referee, refereeing the 28th best league in Europe…
VAR is becoming ever more farcical, the officials who felt entitled to place their thumb on the scale in the before times now doing so in front of us all regardless of the evidence. All Premier League clubs and fans have now faced several years of English VAR consistently throwing up contentious decisions, yet rulings within Europe do not appear so error strewn. Something is rotten with the English system and it needs an immediate overhaul.Bucky on writing the silliest sentence in mailbox historyTo say the MAIN reason Arsenal are top of the table is a kind fixture list is quite silly. A few games past the 19 game mark means we’ve played everyone once .
Arsenal fans are excited, why shouldn’t they be, but the straw man style arguments to say we’re already celebrating winning the league are bizarre and simply not true. This is created by other teams fans as a way to bash Arsenal now and in the hope that they can really rub it in if we don’t win it.
