Newcastle Fan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 At first i was hoping for a draw but seeing that Chelsea's next two games are easy wins and Villa have a few tough games coming up means it's actually a good result for us, must win tomorrow though.

Menace Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If they end up getting top 4 because of it, it's very smart business personally. Let's see what happens next season - I've been impressed with him at Villa though, looks hungry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 i'd rather have years of abject Rashford performances backing my point up than a couple half decent performances at a new club. Be flash in the pan territory for a good while yet. (as someone who didn't comment/care one way or the other) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Watching the Arsenal game. How on Earth did Lewis-Skelly (or whatever his name is) not immediately get a red? I just don’t know what thought process could possibly have gone through the ref’s head for him to give a yellow card. This is the problem we have with VAR: it sucks but as long as refs suck even more it makes it hard to bin it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to upgrade from a yellow to a red than vice versa but I totally get your point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 38 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I didn't think it was a penalty either, but it definitely treads into re-refing the game territory. Without it that stands as a penalty though, and that’s the last it’s spoken about. Just another cheat being rewarded (again) for manipulating real-time perception.

Ones that can play midfield and forward roles. Asensio was a real coup. They have Barkely, too. Really annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are costing them half a mil per week. For us to do it we would need guaranteed champions league which obviously can't be guaranteed.
