Here's hoping Newcastle can actually progress in the FA cup for once. Team hampered by injuries so we are ripe for a cupset

Making a decent stab at it so far

Newcastle sat off in the 2nd half, combined with useless joelinton = 1 - 1

 

[Sui]

Joelinton really is awful. Ball headed down from a ball in, he just stands still.

What’s the reasoning behind the stupid kickoff times?

Some sort of mental health campaign - "take a minute to think...."

Few more decent Arsenal results would help my mental health!

Man Utds team selection is because Ole knows we will lose against Wolves with a full team so is easier to palm off to the journo's fielding a mis match of fringe players and youth.

Watford given away a 3-0 lead against Tranmere, and now a man down.

Aye don't win anything with kids

 

[fez]

Matic looks budget even in this team.

 

[Shamikebab]

Not sure how that wasn't a penalty.

 

[mmj_uk]

They say it's not a foul because there is not enough contact but then why isn't a booking for simulation? the way the player goes down it's got to be either one or the other.

 

[Ayahuasca]

That was definitely a pen for me

 

[adam cool dude]

Do they check for doping in football? Traore is just a beast. Reminds me of East Germany in the 80's

Why does it have to be one or the other. There can be natural contact between two players without it being a foul.

And from a technical/var point of view. The ref shouldn't award a penalty unless he's extremely confident that it was a foul - in other words he could be 60-40 thinking it was a foul and therefore wasn't a dive but still not award the penalty and iinm VAR cannot give out a yellow unless the ref has given a pen and VAR has overruled it.

Fair play to Port Vale for scoring against Citeh.

Wolves just got a freekick for two players pushing Pereira over
