Just been reading a piece on the Chronicle about Luuk De Jong explaining why in his view it didn't work out for him here (spoiler: he thinks he was played too deep, if you can possibly believe that). Decided to see what Pardew made of the move when we confirmed it.

My main memory of him during that period is a picture of him (with Pardew and some others) in an airport in France.

Wasn't that for a meeting on Ashley's luxury boat in the med?  Ridiculous.

Finding it strange that the Will Grigg song is getting so much attention for being original and funny, yet our fans were singing it about Mitrovic way before Wigan fans, without any media attention at all. I realise that Mitro is rarely on fire but it sounds fits better than "Will Griggs's" anyway

I know within the rules of the game it's not a red card. But I think the rules should be changed to make these red card offences when done so blatantly as this. It's a great yellow card to get because.... it's s situation likely to develop into a goal scoring opportunity.

 

Arent the rules changing pretty much the opposite way for next season? :lol:  Even if Ramos was the "last man" it's only a yellow card?

Think that rule is just for pens.

That is just intelligent defending and a good understanding of the rules. You are only allowed to perform the act once, anyway, so if referees apply the rules properly, it really should not be an issue.

You've misunderstood the point.  I'm clear on the fact that according to the rules it's only a yellow card.

 

But in the spirit of the game - those should be reds imo and the rules should be updated for it. 

 

Btw if red was the punishment or he was already on a yellow, I'm certain Ramos commits the foul anyway.  Partly because he's Ramos but it's STILL a worthwhile red to take.    Last minute of extra time.  The fact he stays on the pitch is simply a double win.
