Goal and an assist from Big Joe, well done lad

HANDLING THE BALL For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence. It is an offence if a player: deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised scores in the opponents' goal: directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental Correct decision by the rules https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct

I'll take that disallowed VAR goal on balance today tbh

Aye last season should have been the making of Anderson, but he was injured and Miley took his chance. Sliding doors moment

Yup !

Could see it becoming something derivative of the 'castle' aspect, like Lewes FC's :

The weakness he gets exposed for against better sides is he's not very good at receiving a pass and controlling a ball safely away from pressing players. He's very bad at it. But, when he has space to get his head up and receive the ball on the turn, or into space, or attack the goal, he's very good. I think this is why he shines so much against the poorer sides and is sometimes shocking against the better teams who give him no time if he drifts inside to receive a pass. I think he'd absolutely devastate the Championship right now.

Toney as a stop-gap if god forbid we do lose Isak. Great link-up play from what I saw of him at Brentford

If Gordon can keep producing vs the bigger teams and Murphy can be our flat track bully, I think we'll be Ok for now

Massive gulf in class this, haven't been able to say that about us for a really, really long time.

Sandro chasing down the breaking player like he stole his wallet In the 81st minute. What a player

Aye - agreed, it's just the length of time on the pitch I think

Howe values protecting developing talents, he knows what he's doing.

Barnes coming on

Rest of the squad have been blown away by this new concept from Italy called the 'first time pass' that they've seen Sandro do a lot

Assists Newcastle United,A. Gordon (32'), Bruno Guimarães (45'+2), J. Murphy (54') Loving that - one from the left, one from the right, and one from Bruno in the middle.

Osula + Miley for me

The juice man, come on !

Outrageous backheel to absolutely no-one

Lots of people sleep on Cole. Isak is as close to Cole as a player I've seen.

What the ?!

Good Lord Tonali is so good
