Froggy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 8 minutes ago, Nucasol said: Possibly - PL sides at the earlier stages often rest players, don’t take it as seriously. I’d have taken Fulham at home (rather than away) in the draw yesterday, particularly with their fixture congestion via the Carabao over an away trip to say a bang up for it Sheffield Wednesday. Take your point on Rochdale and Tranmere who should rightly be cannon fodder though. I'd take the likes of Wigan away every single time over the likes of Villa or West Ham at home.

Given our record at the JJB I wouldn’t. Especially Wist Am under a poor Moyes run at the time and Villa under CarpetHeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duran had a good old dive and roll (x4) around on the floor to win a penalty against 10 man Burnley at home 9 days ago. The contact was the same if not less than what Fernandes got, and the Burnley player didn't even go to the ground. Do you want to go back and listen to the commentary to see if it was called out as a dive or not? Spoiler: It wasn't. Duran was just too damn quick apparently. I'm sure if we go back to the Wolves/Newcastle game as well there's nothing from the commentator about Schar buying a penalty against Hwang with an OTT dive after barely being touched. If you look through the match thread there's 3-4 pages of many posters saying it wasn't a penalty, but not one condemnation of the dive. Both the Schar and Duran penalties were upheld with VAR as well. This happens with every team, with the majority of players, in every game. Lets not pretend otherwise, as it's fairly embarassing to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda think you’re being completely insane here You’d have pissed it against Sunderland even with a couple rested, then had a perfect chance to be official “NE Top Dogs” against a similarly limited Championship side with the opportunity for revenge against Liverpool. And the chance to win a trophy for the first time in anyone’s life on here except Cronky. And the first proper trophy since before even he was born. Genuinely cannot understand.
