They played a fuller clip on Pod on the Tyne and he actually is pressed a number of times on what he thought the goal should have been disallowed for and avoided answering it.

That feels a lot like what happened on Saturday. Everyone in the stadium wanted blood after that tackle and the players fed off it.

That is fucking wild. Conspiracisim is fucking rampant these days, it’s a real societal problem

I think you are misunderstanding what I’m trying to say here. Narratives play a large part in football, real or imagined. I’m not saying that people in the game will listen to that specific podcast Arsenal believed the Atletico stuff, evidenced in how they approached the game. Ten Haag played into last season too before getting played off the pitch at SJP.

When is the next squad announced?

The hype around him seems to have died away a little but he’s doing as well as ever at Reims (they are fourth I think?) and they don’t have Balogun this year either. Probably end up at Brighton when someone punches De Zerbi.

I suppose it plays into our hands if teams fundamentally misunderstand what we are about.

He did to be fair and all the coaching team too. Plenty to hate him for but that’s not one.

Totally football show calling us Atletico Tyneside. Bore off you tedious football hipsters.

We’ve been in their head since that 0-0 last year, they thought they’d slayed that particular dragon in the SJP game last year but it’s just come back tenfold for them. Reading people compare us to Stoke or Atleti when we’ve hardly been shithouse FC at all this year. If that’s what’s in their heads every time they play us they’ll always be at an disadvantage.

Seems bully refs is just the culture of the club https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67328199

Luton have 7 players out. Could get nasty for them if Liverpool turn up.

Havertz went in to hurt the player and only failed to get sent off because he wasn’t successful in his attempt.

Happened twice didn’t it? One was clearly part of a pre planned routine from a corner iirc

Neville absolutely nailing it

Willock hattrick with him wildly celebrating each one for me like

Scumbags

Imagine having a game cancelled because you drove the team to entirely the wrong city and it not be most embarrassing thing your club did that day.

Hey if folks want to believe the pound shop Atleti stuff more fool them.

Nail on head.

Why was Longstaff held off the field for 30 seconds when Havertz was booked?

I think the opposite. Howe not ever allowing the ref to be a talking point it means the team take accountability for their performance. Control the controllable. Don’t self pity.
