That's not true, we just lacked some composure in the box. Kane, Bergwijn and Lo Celso should all have scored in the second half, or at least made the keeper work.Imo we played for the 1-0 in the second half. No urgency and taking Son off was a clear statement. We dropped way too deep.
It’s not Dier’s fault that he jumped. You’d be crucifying him if he hadn’t used his arms to get higher and Carroll had scored. Essentially, Pulis will be the most in demand manager in football...stupid rule.The pen was a joke but this game should have been over at half time and Dier is an absolute liability
lol he was blocking him off, it was sly. unnecessary too.Joke decision, you can shoulder barge people to get a free kick now?
I swear half the people who make rules and officiate football matches have never actually played football themselves.
Use you hands like a man, you cuck.The only thing simple here is you you fucking cockwomble. Fucking smash your face in with a brick you cunt
How is Mike Ashley an Arab?
Do you have any video with it? Missed that part somehowNot a fucking clue. Because despite it hitting the Newcastle guy's arm they were kinda more 'tucked in'?
Of course, it's all cowardly nonsense by VAR and the referee anyway - anyone with sense knows that when you jump up honestly to try and win a header your arms sure as fuck aren't staying by your sides. The Dier incident goes to show how bizarre and jobsworth it's also become: he wasn't even looking in the direction the ball hit him from - he knew nothing about it and had no intention of handballing.
I could be mistaken but it felt like the VAR team didn't even check that potential handball from Ndombele's pass. If they did then I apologise but if they didn't then it does scream corruption.
Not the time mate, I’m the first to rile Sammy up but let’s combine despair with solidarity.Can't play for the 1-nil Sammy. Have to win the game when it's there to be won, Precious!
So predictable.Oh look the slug is back
No where could the cheer be heard louder than in Scott’s living room
He's not... he's a fat fucking cockney cunt...How is Mike Ashley an Arab?
Clearly the tactics in the 2nd were to protect the lead and counter attack, but you can’t do that with the new handball rule now. You just have to assume a pen will be called against you at any time.This rule sucks, but we should have put this to bed.
Second half they played ball and we again looked inept.
Not just that - think about the VAR controversy of today and yesterday creating a 4 point swing in outcome between us and United.If those two points cost us champions league football next season it's a fucking joke.
Spot on. I can't remember what pundit it was (Shearer maybe?) who said that kids up and down the country are going to be practicing how to get these penalties.this isn't even the worst of it, isn't going to take players long to start rehearsing flicking up on onto arms.
You'll end with more penalties than fucking hockey.
Does the ethnicity or race of the owners really matter though? lolHe's not... he's a fat fucking cockney cunt...
but he DID try to sell his club down the river to the Saudis... which isn't far off!! (albeit it didn't work out!)
Awww fuck it, don't make me explain myself... i'm fucking livid... I don;'t give a fuck who sold what to who, or what child's cock was sold and sucked for how much...#
...all I know is that football is a corrupt as fuck, and has been for years... and we haven't yet been the beneficiaries yet in terms of trophies won!
HOWEVER... over the past few years, every fucker with a multi billion pound owner has been though... go fucking figure!
