Tbf, they acknowledge it’s in play and not offside - it’s the push that’s contentious

There’s no secret VAR cameras. The feed can be seen by the broadcasters. BeIN has confirmed it was in using their own 3D modelling software, though.

It’s pathetic when you see people reach for corruption when it’s incompetence at worst. Funniest thing is that the only part of the goal which was genuinely contentious was the shove, and I’ve seen loads of those go either way. They’ve hardly been robbed.

Looks like he’s playing an interesting game of charades with his knackered left arm. Air oboe playing

I reckon if the ref blows for a foul by Joelinton the decision isn’t overturned. Ball was likely in play, and it definitely isn’t offside - but I wouldn’t have argued too much re Joelinton fouling the defender. But I’m sure the entitled Arsenal brigade on Twitter are also furious re the lack of a red for Havertz

I do look for their result, but I’m fucked if I’d watch one of their games. I’m amazed at how many of them watch us these days - they’re gluttons for self-punishment. It must be like having a chilli enema

No, you’re definitely right - I was confirming that (my wording wasn’t great)

They do, mind. Some teams that finish runners up become better known than the winners.

Still fun to do post match analysis I used to do it in the Three Bulls post match, these days it’s sat on the internet at breakfast

No, you can pass to a teammate irrespective of the number of opposition players between you and the goal line provided that your team mate is behind or level with you

Agreed, though one of my favourite zig-zag chant banter was with Arsenal many moons ago, when Shearer was out injured and they were chanting ‘England’s no. 9’ at Ian Wright: Us: ‘Shearer! Shearer!’ them: ‘One leg, he’s only got one leg, he’s only got one leg’ us: ‘one leg, he only needs one leg, he only needs one leg’ etc etc

No, the number of defenders doesn’t come into it if the ball is played sideways or backwards. Two players can be ahead of the whole opposition side and can pass the ball.

Neither player was close to offside for Willock’s pass - the check was for the ball being played back to Gordon. If it was played by the Arsenal player he can’t be off, and if it is played by Joelinton then he’s level or behind. You can absolutely determine this.

I do wonder if Howe will have a word with him - we obviously want him pumped and desperate to win, but it’ll be Sod’s law that he’ll get the red card in a massive match - a final etc

Yep. Not the fault of the dogs, but they’ve been bred for that by complete shithouses

If he’s here for many years to come, it’s because he’s won trophies - so I hope he is

If it keeps killing people, then it does. Yep, the owners are clowns, but all breeds have bad owners - but I’m not seeing Cocker Spaniels with bad owners mauling kids to death

Completely radge and exceptionally talented. Just like me, expect for the whole talent bit

I mean, pot to fucking kettle even if it was shit. I don’t remember Highbury or the new ground ever being cauldrons of noise.

Damn right

Haha yep. Our record against good sides has never been great. Even when we’ve been good it’s still been patchy. But the number of knackas who churn that line out …

I can remember them doing it quite a few times tbf

No, it’s both with those fucking things. They’re dangerous animals which need good ownership to control them, not dopey charvas who think it makes them look hard. But the breed needs banning

It’s not even close to being offside - it’s not a ‘who knows’ situation. Gordon is level/behind Joelinton when the ball is played

Tuned into talkSHITE for the first time in years for no good reason, immediately turned off after first NUFC fan saying ‘we do it against the big teams, it is the little ones we drop points to, always been the way’ Fuck me - what’s Howe’s record vs bottom half clubs again?
