Arsenal.

Arsenal.

What?

 

[Weststander]

Arse-n-all Arse-n-all

Ten Hag looking annoyed with the officials at the end.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Does he have to pretend he wasn't gifted another 3 points?

He'll be annoyed they were allowed to go 2 down.

I'm flabbergasted with today's result against Arsenal and done you a favour. I had us going down by 2 or 3. We need to keep Palhinha as we're running out of defenders getting red cards. Could have won it at the end as well. Some dodgy pro Arsenal reffing decisions.

 

[Official Old Man]

606 Saturday night.
Robbie Savage has Newcastle to WIN the Europa League.
Honestly.
They'll drop down from the UCL and win our cup!

Aaaaaand... here we go again.

I will laugh like a drain if the Blades beat City this afternoon. The others? Not that bothered either way.

A Burnley Villa draw would be nice.

Man city given a pen for exactly the same handball situation as the one we should have been given yesterday. Not even a hesitation.

Haaland misses pen. Choruses of “you’re just a shit Billy Sharp”

I thought that type of “handball”, with the player sliding in wasn’t supposed to be given. Absolutely no consistency.

*unless you pay the referee "x" amount.

It was given against Dunk v Luton.

It was virtually a carbon copy of ours yesterday

There won’t ever be consistency on this unless they say anytime it touches the hand or arm it is handball.

The law as it is asks the referee to interpret whether the arm/hand is in a natural position for the action the defending player is currently performing. E.g. arms are pumped forwards and backwards when running and trail the body of sliding in to block.

Man City fan going to get banned celebrating Haaland’s goal. What a twat.

I suppose it was slightly different as his arm was in the air - but still basically a naturally trailing arm when a defender slides in like that. Not sure where else he is meant to put his arm - if he sticks it alongside his body, then he's going to damage himself when he lands.

I think refs need some guidance on this really.
