Whitey Grandad

Half your age plus 9 I thought it was. That would make my ideal woman something over 40. Apparently.

There are too many variables, part of the body, angle of view across the pitch, timing of the pass. Don't be fooled by the white lines they put on the freeze-frame, they too are open to interpretation. If the linesman is the same side as the players then it's even more difficult for them. The only safe thing is to make sure you're a yard onside and play the pass at the right time.

I don't think that either of Gastón's were enough for a penalty and you could say they were just stumbles so not bookings either.

For the second of the two blatant throw-in mistakes I saw Adam ask the linesman why he gave the throw to Newcastle. The linesman pointed to Atkinson saying that he gave it.

If you need a video replay to make a decision then by definition it's a close call and you can't really say the lino was wrong to give it. Offside is never an exact science.

Not allowed to show anything controversial, such as a penalty claim.

And he gave us a wave when asked. How many fingers was it?

It never even occurred to me that he was offside. As a referee myself I usually support the officials but some of the simple decisions today were quite plainly wrong. Never a penalty, either of them. Clean sheet at last - lovely!

What are the women like?

Please, this is not good for my heart.

Southeast England is one of the most overcrowded 'countries' in the world. Too many people everywhere. 432/sq km which is not as bad as Bangladesh, I grant you, but places us above the Netherlands in about fourth place, ignoring the city states and other tiddly islands.

It's the penicillin that keeps me going.

It was discovered, not invented.

Overcrowed.

Not everything is positive. When miniskirts appeared tights followed soon after. Before then they all wore stockings and suspenders.

A great result, very important, but it just starts to get us back on track from here and we need to win the next few games. I'd like a clean sheet now and again please.

My agenda is to try to see the other fella's point of view, to present an alternative perspective, to speak up for those unable or unwilling to speak up for themselves. To try to see that there are no unalienable truths, just alternative versions of reality. To try to see the good in everybody and everything.

No, well I don't of course but I was giving general advice for anyone on here who looks vaguely like a normal human being. Wasting my time, really.

The same applied to Gascón in the second half. He could have played the ball out to the right but hung on and Dyer caught up and nicked it off him.

Probably more than a new tv.

So, 27 games left, 3 new managers, sorted!

Quite right. We don't make the same mistake twice.

Well if Nigel can't even get that right...

I agree. He obviously didn't know that Dyer was on top of him. All he had to do was turn right instead of left when receiving the ball and it would have bounced outfield. Anyway, any Premier League player should have been able to control that ball without it flying away off his chest.

Just seen MOTD. Unusual, but I agree with the pundits, the Williams incident probably not a penalty but certainly not a dive. The Monk one was a definite body charge and Monk was inside the area. Very poor decision.
