The annoying thing is if Son or Kane had been pulled back like Trossard it would have been a nailed on penalty

Lets not be too harsh on Webby.
To me, that was a quality goal. They attacked at pace. That makes it harder for the defence to get set.
Personally I'm much happier losing out to a proper football goal than another VAR monstrosity

Doesn’t matter where he’s standing!!! Totally irrelevant - it’s where the foul is - ie the contact! Basic football knowledge that. It was either just on the line or just outside - incredibly hard to tell and neither clear nor obvious.
WBA aside, have you seen who we have played so far? And how we have played? Your analysis could have been done by any third technician on board the mining ship Red Dwarf with a copy of the TV Times showing the latest league tables.

I was concerned btw, but I knew our defence would screw it up again.
Plus I’m playing with part of the profits I made back in the summer.
Indeed. Another pundit assessing performance by looking at the league tables.
Incidentally, I can't see the Spuds ownership putting up with Maureen's gash unless they win the PL this season. Percentage football is fine at Burnley, but....
And I love the way we do it. Even if we lose, because in the long term we will win.

Oh nice one....I’d suggested £100 at 1.65....you did well..it moved to 1.64 by the time I placed mine
He actually stood still to head it in, which is unforgivable on our part.

What you want (if your one of those who's been following us a while) is to have a team we can be proud of.
We have that.
We had a bit of a shocker against WBA, but apart from that, every game our team can walk off the pitch with our heads held high.
Yes, maybe the boys won't find enough goals to stay up, but in football games are won, games are lost. Teams are relegated, teams are promoted. We have a club to support, which many thousands may not in 6 months time

Very frustrating that we kept Kane and Son so quiet but then gifted Bale a free header. We just can’t put in a gritty defensive shift for the whole of a game.
Oh, and aftertiming about winning a bet you made against your own team on the internet[emoji2357]Where’s [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] when you need him?

You’re spot on about us. If even go as far as second half v West Brom and first half v Everton as our 2 really poor halves of football. Out of 14 halves that’s a bloody good return. I was so pleasantly surprised at how we turned the game around after a poor first 10 today sitting back. Just seem to be in all our games and playing proper football too. I’m enjoying it, just not the VAR and ref decisions that have undoubtedly gone against us so far this season.
Onto the next one. Got a good chance of points. And no, it’s not a ‘must win’ - some were stupidly saying that before West Brom yet we’re still here fighting with 31 games to go oddly!

I like [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION] and [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION] a lot on here but just don’t get the betting against the Albion thing. Just couldn’t ever do it , even winning a grand wouldn’t feel like a win...!

I went through a gambit of emotions tonight, from expectant, to despondent and eventually; resigned... all prompted by a particularly challenging episode of the number blocks.
10, 10, 10 again.
When I turned my thoughts to the big match, I had a feeling that 350k a week Gareth would ultimately drive a massive stake through my heart, you know, a diamond encrusted pimped up stake with quasi-futuristic lights... it was inevitable, akin to our plucky low budget freebie endevour ending in agonising defeat.
Yet, when I eat my breakfast I can take pride that our manager works so well with what we have and that a young GK played so well against such overwhelming odds... when you consider that one player, a player who came of the bench, probably earns the sum total of our annual wage budget in a mere few months... well... it's frankly astounding that they stumbled so on their way to victory...
a victory, that must surely feel hollow when you consider the universal gap (gulf) between our clubs.

Insurance, eases the pain. Plus just another cold bet, I couldn’t believe that the bookies were so generous.
Has no influence on real world proceedings.
