  1. The red card , in real time , looked like the Newcastle player got to the ball a fraction of a second earlier so to me that was a yellow . The on field ref , who saw it in real time , gave a yellow which reflected the intent angle as well as the timing . Of course in slo mo it looks worse because the timing is ignored ie there was no time to avoid contact in what was an attempt to block the ball. The penalty was also border line to me even in slo mo , how far up does the arm go ? he did move toward the ball but was another decision that was debateable in my view , great save though. Interesting to see WH waltz through Arsenal's defence as well !!
  2. Ings was said to be only fit enough to be on the bench and they also said on Motd that Djenepo's mother had died . Moyes was quoted on BBC sports on line as saying their plan was to let us have the ball , which worked ! Ralph should have seen what was going on and changed things but WHU were playing so much better than when Moyes took over. McCarthy left it too late to jump for the ball, got both hands on it but Antonio had got his head to it after an impressive jump . It would be good if we had a plan when we take corners , JWP got back from one to block a shot but WH had several chances from our corners.
  3. Leicester unlucky with VAR again goal ruled out for "handball" !
  4. Is it OK to use or do we have to use it via a super secure VPN via Saudi Arabia ??
  5. What has happened to Barkley and Stones ? future England players that went to big clubs and have stalled . Were they not that good to start with or have they just been squeezed out by expensive big name players ?
  6. Linaker said ,in response ,that we had to put up with 8 losses at home inc a 0-9 so it wasn’t surprising we were hard to please !
  7. VAR now is more controversial than the match ref ! It was supposed to right wrongs that were clear and obvious but has descended into farce . If I was a Bompy supporter I would be well angry after today . Have to concentrate watching MOTD to see if it was as bad as described. As said before , big team bias is showing it’s face again.
  8. Looking forward to MOTD this week !
  9. Bournemouth score to make it 1-1 , goal disallowed by VAR and Burnley given penalty for handball ! You couldn’t make it up . So 2-0 to Burnley .......
  10. F Forster saves penalty . 1-1 final score .
  11. Mane gets yellow for whacking a man round the head tonight , VAR allowed it last week when he ‘scored’ .
  12. Perhaps he will reflect on his diving which I didn't notice before Jose took over .
  13. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51547937 Oops !
  14. Cut to Man U and Arsenal fans booing their teams off , chanting attack attack attack etc all fanbases are the same . Tourists , just people looking for Prem experience , clubs always looking to expand fanbase . Saints fanbase is similar to all fanbases , diehard will always back team , moaners who attend all home matches , fans who are just having a day out etc. Solution : team wins games and plays in positive style , all fans happy except some on here !
  15. Moaning fans are universal at all levels of team games , partly fueled by ever increasing commersialisation and winning at all costs to keep the money rolling in. See NFL deflategate , athletics and cycling drugs etc etc.
  16. The problem , even when I was playing , is the corner flag getting in the way ! As I see it they are making room to swing their leg at the ball . This season I have seen the lino make the taker move the ball an inch or two so part of the ball was over the outside edge of the line. The main problem with the corner was Ings moving out the way of the ball , Mc Carthy had gone over his line having tried to push an attacker out of his way but failed !
  17. PSG to offer Mbappe £41 Million a year to keep him , surely they are next for Euro Cup ban !!!
  18. ManU is all about USA business school management. You buy company with massive borrowing, you put numerous members of your family on the board with massive salaries. The “club” pay massive interest on debt , then you do global commercial bit then you try to buy a few players to keep it all in play, worst case scenario is you sell it for billions and retire very rich .
  19. Apparently the huge sponsership deals with the owners airline were to make the books look good and they also inflated other commercial deals. This I assume gives them plenty of leeway under FFP rules about not running at a loss and ability to spend .
  20. Also suffering from brain damage from repeated heading , didn’t realise he played for Saints . http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51507662
  21. Perhaps they are giving the impression the club is financially sound and therefore a bargain Prem buy !
  22. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51375410 VAR out !
  23. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-51348812 This is what Bertie was referring to I think !
  24. Yellow cards for removing shirt update , queried today with someone in Fifa who made the decision : It is to protect sponsors to make sure they get max exposure at key moments ie when a goal is scored ! So all about money ...... On BBC sport football section after today’s events .
  25. Wolves just a flash in the pan then !
