Second was clearly off, MOTD did the standard 'line across the feet' where he was just about level but Defoe was clearly leaning into his sprint, his head and body were a few feet off. The entire refereeing team for that game should be in League 2 this weekend, two goals, a pen and a red card all wrong.

MOTDs punditry was basically useless, they also managed allow five minutes to argue over the correct Man Utd pen but not even mention the missed ones on Janmaat and Colback.

Fuck off, why should we be punished for it?

They might let you win and stop ruining my league winners Lucky 15.

I noticed during the man utd and Newcastle game one of the adverts during the match was if Newcastle win then you get a free jacket worth £59.99 from Sports direct. 

I also noticed that it was then advertised if Newcastle beat West Ham you get a jacket worth £59.99 free from Sports Direct. 

[Moses Julep]

Sadly, I think even a free jacket won't make someone support Newcastle these days. 

[Benji]

It's a typo. If Newcastle win then you get Wolves manager Kenny Jackett in charge of Newcastle for just £59.99.

Newcastle need Mike Bassett back. They unfairly sacked him the last time anyway.

Kyle Naughton's red card against Sunderland has been overturned. Rightly so. 

[Gorka]

Glen Hoddle just called Sunderland a team with a predator...should someone tell him?

[MDK]

Bloody hell, just turned it on and two goals.

[Kaney]

Turn it off before spurs score again :@

[Gorka]

Feel for this Pickford lad, made a few great stops for his debut but nothing he can do about some of these goals.

[Cymbols]

New Sunderland defender's having a shaky debut.

[Gazz]

Shelvey is having a blinder, the big, bald sonofabitch.

[MDK]

Sunderland look a right fingering 

[Gorka]

It's amazing what Shelvey can do when he gives a shit.

[DavidMarrio]

I liked Shelvey when he played for us but he is so inconsistent. When he's on form he's a good player but he dips in and out of form so easily. 

[Gazz]

His long passing ain't bad.

[Nerf]

Steven Gerrard on rollerskates is just about the most apt description I've ever heard of Shelvs.

[stokeriño]

Feels like a Man Utd game at the Bridge so far... As though the only thing that could move the scoreline off 0-0 would be a moment of extreme incompetance.

Boom, own-goal.

2-0 Everton now. Headless chickens out there. JOSE OUT! Oh, wait...

That's why it kind of pissed me off when in his first interview with Newcastle he was trying to justify bad form before he left with "but I got an England cap a couple of weeks ago!".
