It was a poor pen, hard but not even close to being in the corner and a good height for the 'keeper. If the 'keeper goes the right way he has a good chance of saving it.

Quote from Rafa when asked if he would prefer to watch Manchester United or Manchester City live if he had a spare Saturday afternoon. He smiled & merely responded: "Newcastle United Under-23s."

Keeper saves it without the deflection tbh.

Very good, was that today ? Did you even watch it?

Nowt new tbh.

He was all over the place but no defender in the world is getting their head on that first without fouling Kane. Brilliant ball, great leap and header.

No because he hasn't got us relegated before. That's on Mike Ashley and Steve McClaren. If he had gotten us the points we needed, he would have saved us. He didnt so we got relegated... Tomato-Tomato What a load of shite.

No because he hasn't got us relegated before. That's on Mike Ashley and Steve McClaren.

Nothing to do with £80-90m worth of players coming out and having a go at our £10m defence then. They also brought on a £26 million central defender at half time. We didn't have a shot after that.

As we're seeing with Gayle top flight football is very much about margins for strikers. Throw Joselu in the championship he'll no doubt hit double figures and be a very useful player. We'll find out next season. Who's he signing for like?

Get a bigger dummy man. Says the one that always whinges when someone disagrees with him/her.

Haha I deleted it! Just like you did... Was it that ludicrous suit that confused you?

Really shit defending from the Spurs left back.

That's mental.

Absolute cert when we're not even in the relegation zone.

That's a great tackle!

'Fuck off PK' to Paul Kemsley.

He's played 20 times out of 26 games for Swansea, he's just not been very good. Had plenty of opportunity.

Very but it would be called the EUROPALEAGUEOMETER.

I hear myself saying this about a load of different players. Caballero, Abraham for instance, would have made a massive difference Tammy Abraham. What happened to him? Certainly not scoring, is he even playing... Wasn’t he injured recently? I’d still have trusted him to stick away half the chances Joselu and Gayle have had No. He doesn't appear to be injured. Maybe behind the Ayew in selection, He may get a sniff now Bony is out for the season. He's been injured but only been on the bench since he recovered (apart from starting in the FA Cup).

Quinoa in the away end! Fucking hell.

I agree.

He was in an offside position, but it wasn't an offside offence.

Confused me massively this has. I thought it was offside, but Sky and Dermot seem to think that because Lovren touched the ball, this is then a new phase of play meaning that Kane is onside. But Lovren only had to touch the ball because he was aware that Kane was behind him, so he was interfering with play in the first phase. I don’t understand why that isn’t the case. Which is utter crap, and completely mental to even think it was onside. In the future we should just stand Gayle on the edge of the oppo's box and hope a defender try to touch the ball as we smash it up to him, nonsense from Sky and Dermot that like. It's not nonsense, it's the laws of the game. They might well be nonsense mind. I ref and that's not how to interpret that law in this instance imo, it's not worded right for the incident we've just seen. You take into account where the players are in relation to the ball travelling forward, ie : are they active, is it meant for them, not that it matters on a Sunday morning as you get the most biased fat sub or some parent doing the line for you anyhoo. As a law reads doesn't always implement in any given situation al that well, that's where the ref and linos step in, wrongly as it was today imo. The law is quite clear imo. "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage". If it had just hit Lovren and been deflected off him (so he hasn't deliberately played the ball) or gone through to Kane without a touch then yes he is offside. I think this law is wrong and needs to be changed to reflect situations like this as Kane clearly gained a massive advantage. That doesn't refer to where the initial ball came from, which is the crux of the matter in this case. Like i say your interpreting it wrongly as that isn't quite covering it all which isn't helping you. As we can't post footy vids i can't show you exactly where that law fits in, but in this case that law doesn't come into it as the ball was traveling forward at all times from the initial attacking players pass, it hasn't come to him from an opponent as in a tackle that from a defender that plays it backwards to an apparently offside striker. The deflection in this case isn't as your seeing it in that law, well imo like. Dermot Gallagher agrees with me. You are saying that Lovren didn't deliberately play the ball? I disagree.
