Arsenal has made a strong start to the current Premier League season, dropping only two points in their first four matches, with their most recent victory coming against Manchester United. However, that win was shrouded in controversy due to VAR decisions that played a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
VAR decisions have been a point of contention in several games throughout the season, and they have been criticised for some of the calls made by the on-field referees. Given the impact of VAR on match results, Give Me Sport conducted an analysis to determine how the Premier League table would look without VAR decisions.
According to this analysis, Arsenal, currently occupying the 5th position in the Premier League table, would have been in 6th place had VAR decisions not been considered. This highlights the influence that VAR has on match outcomes and, consequently, the league standings.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We will always have VAR as a determining factor in the Premier League as long as the competition continues to use the technology.
This revised table does not affect us in any way and we expect the boys to stay focused on working hard and continuing to win matches when club football returns.

Yeah, how about last season?something like “forgetting” To draw the offside line happened amongst many other things…
It is the human element behind VAR which is the problem.
We could have possibly lost against Manutd if not for VAR controversial decision but who cares, when VAR was introduced Manutd benefited mostly from the same VAR controversial decisions. The problem now is when it will bite as again.
Nothing controversial, Garnacho was offside according to the new rule.
Also, that was a penalty albeit soft…
POOR ARTICLE!!!
Admin fails to mention which decision(s) benefitted us. That information surely would help any counter arguements.
How on earth doesn’t the revised table affect us if we drop from 5th to 6th?
The article also does not indicate whether Admin is pro or anti-VAR.

Its called calling their bluff , PAT and is very effective, I have noticed, in keeping them quiet thereafter .
It takes some courage as well as some grasp of English, toawrite any piece of substance
You forgot that if it wasn’t for VAR KAI’s penalty would have stood. And according to you the penalty goal couldn’t change the game but gonacho goal could, you people are just sick. Either way Arsenal could win this game. If you have any problem go to court.
DANNIE, I recall the commentator on TV saying the ref himself , ASKED the VAR to decide if he had a decision to overturn, as he was worried he’d got it wrong . As he had!
