Twist

Emerson definitely should be off the field now. I understand the second yellow threshold is higher but that’s three fouls now this half. Eventually something has to give. Big Dan Burn isn’t having his best game for us.

Great team play by Murphy.

I wouldn’t write Brighton off yet and we we’ve had a spell this season that if we repeated would put the top 4 at risk. Im feeling pretty comfortable about Europe in general next year, which will be great. But really, really hope those European nights are against some of the big lads. Give me Bayern, give me Barcelona, give me PSG. It’s been 20 years, I’ve bloody missed it. Also, Jacob Murphy has been solid since Almiron got hurt. Really held his own and probably deserves to be on that list with Miggy and Big Joe of players finding a real groove under Howe.

I don’t want to get my hopes up about the Champion’s League but this group of beautiful bastards is making it really difficult not to.

Start deducting points from clubs for it. Fans aren’t concerned about personal repercussions because of the chances of being singled out are so low. Clubs won’t care about financial repercussions. So there needs to be a sporting punishment.

The issue is the players don’t seem to dispute it at all.

I think Conte might have been right.

It’s Spurs-time!

Good point, well made.

He went that way against Italy.

Given how awful Spurs have been holding on to possession they probably shouldn’t be passing it around their own 18. I think they been caught in possession 6/7 times in their own back third this half alone. Lucky to get away with it so far.

Oh absolutely but in a world of VAR all Kane has to do is tell the ref he hit him in the face and off he’ll go.

That was absurdly stupid. The reverse angle does show how much of a meal Kane made of it. Looked like a proper solid contact from the original angle.

If he forced his way out Utah could give up a metric fuck tonne of draft capital for him though.

Ahh, of course. I really need to stop falling foul of that.

Did we watch a different game or am I missing the point you’re making?

Luke Shaw suggesting that United had the better quality today is utterly laughable. After that performance, you wouldn’t say Newcastle were the team in the relegation zone 15 months ago.

Get in! Something incredibly satisfying at putting one over Man U.

To be fair I’d put Big Joe on with 20 minutes left and a one goal lead as well.

Why yes that was ASM setting up Willock for the goal.

McTominay and Sabitzer have both been completely absent from the game today. To the point where when Sabitzer was mentioned I assume he’d come on at half time and then had to check line ups for who the other CM was.

Just binged this weekend and I think episode 3 will stay with me forever. One of, if not the, best episode of TV I’ve watched.

And someone teach Joe Willock to lean over the ball when he’s shooting. Swear he puts a couple over the bar every game.

ASM is such a terrible decision maker.

Yeah, given as much as people want to play up the drama of that ending I think it was ultimately completely logical and well applied.
