Speaking of:

Bruce with 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 league games. What a legend.

Them wanting Southgate sounds like a media myth. Too good to be true.

That's just a part of the buying himself time to keep you in the dirt. If he didn't win cups, he would risk that you replace him with someone who is competent.

Ten Hag is very good at saving his ass only to buy himself more time to keep them in the dirt. That's his speciality.

It just doesn't matter. They will get top 24 regardless of the result today, unless they fail to beat teams like PAOK. I suppose them having to play 2 more games is something..

And then he plays the victim when people criticise him..

I suspected earlier that Parish might want the same in january still, but considering how things have gone since, he's probably kicking himself a bit for the hardball stuff. Will probably not want to run it all back another time.

"The Dons managing director wanted to thank the Magpies on the record for staging their Carabao Cup tie at St James' Park" We can do the same for anyone else aswell.

And to address this point, even though IFAB already stated in the rules that neglibigle force is not a red. A missed punch also has different levels of force. I'd expect the force of the action, and not necessarily just the force of contact, to be decisive. You can use excessive force while missing the punch for instance.

Here is the definition of violent conduct on IFABs pages: The rules written on FA.com (which are the same rules made by IFAB) also makes no specific exceptions to headbutts or the things mentioned (which they would), and as stated this is what they said: So it clearly states that if you strike someone in the face with the hand or arm, if it's neglibigle force it will not qualify for a red. I'm not the one saying this, it's IFAB who are saying this. And yet you object to that.

Why didn't Grealish get sent off for elbowing Tonali in the stomach, if force doesn't matter? That would be a clear and obvious error, then.

"Intense foul with a lot of force that occurs away from the ball"? Was pretty sure point nr 2 is an extension of nr 1.

From IFAB: It includes things like headbutt. He was sent off for Violent Conduct, and this section states that it has to be forceful in any case. Even if the IFAB rules didn't confirm this, the rules I sent first would include a note to exclude headbutts from having to be forceful if they didn't have to be.

They won't get the same amount of freak injuries as we did, so that also helps them..

Lilewise they have atleast 4 more games than us currently. If we count the inevitable knock out stages for them. Talking about their league performances that is, which can get impacted by more games.

Basically describing the Schär incident with those, who got sent of for violent conduct. It states that the force has to be there. It says "unless the force was negligible".

Yeah, people were saying similar things about us after the 4-1 game vs PSG at this time of the season.

Durán scores nearly every game, but he never gets a start..

Also more games for them is a good thing if we're gonna compete with them in the league.

It would be the most Newcastle thing ever if Pope and Dubs were out for long, and we had to rely on our FFP scam, the least wanted player from the Forest squad.

Maybe we need to prepare a song for him after all..

He was never that good against low blocks, just like the rest of our players. Possibly bar Barnes that is.

I'm basically just waiting for the quarter finals at this point. I still don't even feel like watching.

1 point now. Still more than Justin.
