    Red card (second yellow) for simulation last night, Fleetwood at Wigan - when was the last time, after all the hoo-hah about clampdowns etc, you saw any sort of simulation punished in the PL..?

    That's good to know. My lot played Plymouth in the Championship last night and the game just flowed, the ref pretty much ignored anyone going down softly and waved play on. We also avoided one of those 15 minute VAR farces looking at whether a ball went over the dead ball line using a dodgy camera angle when the linesman was a few feet away.

    What a goal that is by Arsenal for the 2-0. That's IMHO the best goal this season, beating Garnacho's.

    I agree .
    I’ll confirm when I’ve seen it , but right now, I’m in .


    Plus
    There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that the Horsepunchers will smash the scruffy side of Manchester tonight . No way at all , the bottle merchants .

    Superb free kick from Trippier, just begging for Onana to slap it over the line.

    A 0-0 would do very nicely though, please.

    Rashford has no interest in being on that pitch. Shocking from a professional

    He’s a disgrace. His level of effort is the polar opposite of that of every Newcastle player.

    He needs some time on the sidelines to reassess what he wants from his career. Looks totally disinterested and the fans are turning.

    We’ve all noticed a massive difference in Bruno’s temperament in the last half a dozen games. He’s a lot calmer and more levelheaded and it’s no coincidence that I think he’s had his best games for us in that period. I think a sports psychologist has paid him a visit.

    TAA - lovely goal but his first job is to defend and not looking so solid is he

    Bournemouth playing really well - should be 4-1 up against Villa already

  16. #3116
    This Liverpool Fulham game is brilliant. End to end stuff.
    Liverpool 3-2 down and now 4-3 up with two goals in as many minutes

    Great incentive for Spurs today. If they win 5-0 they go up to 4th.

    Do you 2 share them tin hats or make your own? I'd love to try one. I've tried magic mushrooms but these hats sound epic :D

    Not looking forward to this one, with a makeshift defence and Maddison, Bentancur & Sarr out in midfield.

    Royale is the worst fullback in the league.

    Cracking game that, fair play to Spurs for keeping an attacking ethos - they always looked a menace on the break.

    Shameful refereeing again of course.

    And yet again we’re talking about a decision. Every single game is about the officials and / or VAR. That’s as poor a decision as you’ll ever see. City were really poor, Spurs on the whole were good for a point but again, an official influences a result. Although obviously Grealish could have missed.

    Premier League 2023-24

    Fair play to Spurs they stuck at it against at wasteful & complacent Ciry.

    Strange decision at the end on the advantage. Why blow when Haaland had regained his feet & put Grealish through ?

    Odd.

    Incredible result and performance, given that we had two fullbacks playing in the centre of our defence and three key midfielders missing as well. Despite the run we’ve been on since the Chelsea game I love this side, but our squad is so thin, especially in defence.

    No doubt Spurs will be a lot happier with the point.
    City should have put the game away in the first half with all those chances. They were poor in the second half and got what they deserved.
    Spurs always looked a threat on the break.

    Thought ref had waved play on to give the advantage so not sure why he changed his mind.

    Referee had his arm out indicating play on for the tackle and when Grealish was through he blew for the initial challenge, incompetence of the highest level there.

    true. But that’s the reason for the advantage rule … not the ‘nailed on’ rule.

    ‘The Syndicate’ had a few million on 3-3. Corrupt.

    I’d have taken a point beforehand all day long. Fortunate that Haaland didn’t have his shooting boots on today but fair play to the lads. They kept going. Good performances from Kulu and Lo Celso. Bissouma didn’t have a good game and don’t think I can bear watching Royale at CB again. . More tough games up next against Spammers and the Toon so this point is well needed. Can’t wait until we have a full squad again

    I’d be most comfortable with Romero and Dorrington in central defence. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

    Our midfield is largely screwed, though.
