A new table out this morning for what the league would like without VAR.

Normally I dont think they are too insightful as they simultaneously capture multiple things some of which oppose each other, and dont factor in how the game is officiated differently because of VAR, but I was struck by how little effect it had. Only 4 teams in the top half have a net change points, and 3 of those only by 1 point each. Of course, two of those are us and City with VAR having given them 1 more point than they’d otherwise have and us 1 point fewer.

Limie knows his onions… We are 2 points worse off.
