Weekend other games

Leicester three up. Useful manager they've got. Shame he's not available.

Is it just that Puel has better players at his disposal this season or that he learned a lot about the Premiership last season? His Leicester team seem to have a very different attitude to attack than we saw at Saints.

How long do you lot want to keep talking about him? Just long enough for him to start failing there so that the haters can tell the fan boys it is actually they who were right all along?

Wow against League 1 opposition too..the bloke must be a ****ing genius.

I imagine we would have looked a lot better with Vardy upfront instead of Long last season..

Wigan go 1 up against W. Ham.

Or he's just a half decent manager?

Skatesmuff losing!

Red card for WHU, who are also still behhind.

W. Ham two down now thanks to a penalty for handball.

Glad to see Adkins in the next round.

Targett came on as a halftime sub for Fulham today.

Can Newport hang on?

Tottenham found our Premier League standard bowling green of a pitch tricky last weekend, they must be hating the Newport Pitch.

Can Newport hang on?

Doing a much better job than we did in hanging on so far!

Perhaps Pochettino has had his head turned by Real Madrid?

Good manager, better than our incumbent, but not the fecking mesiah many think he is. He is likely to add another trophy-less season to his CV. And I think given their team, and Europe's best goal-scorer, maybe he should be doing better

Another season without a trophy for Spurs?

Their best chance of winning the title came in 2016 and they bottled it.

poch is clearly a class manager.

The9 must have topped himself.

Jrod cracker. VVD possibly fouled

Jrod scoring for fun agains Liverpool. That's 2.

A highly amusing 5 minutes of football

VVD - 75 million? What a joke footy has become. VVD looks terrible - hopefully the curse of LIverpool strikes again

2 for Jay Rod - first one a cracker

1-3 now

very quick and direct

They will batter us

edit. var rules it out

hhahahhahahahaha

****-poor, floaty corner yet free header in the 6 yard box.

2-1 chalked off by Andre Mariner "in a non descript business park near Heathrow".

VAR controversies galore.

1-3 now

Go on predict away as it never happens when you do.........

Jesus - this VAR thing is an utter load of s***e. Don't know why WBAs goal was disallowed...just play the f***** game, what a joke.

Hal Robson-Kanu and Keiran Gibbs both going off with injuries for WBA, hopefully could be out for next weeks match!?

Barry was offside but wasn't in way of cross at all- think goal being chalked off was fair but Barry certainly didn't impede on the keeper the way you have seen in other corner situations- so could be tad harsh- so even if he was offside it isn't like he flicked it on or anything.

as for Salah's pen- he was getting nowhere near that cross, and you see far worse shoves and tackles week in that aren't given. Ultimately, if we are to be consistent and give that a pen, then really we should be seeing 2/3 penalties every fixture.

Look, I think the VAR is a needed concept in football- certainly would have helped us 2 weeks ago against Watford away, but wish there was a better way of integrating it- waiting 3 minutes for a decision doesn't have the same spark it does in tennis and cricket for me.

1-3 now (even with VAR!)

West brom fans chanting "VAR, VAR, VAR".

VAR is a farce, totally killing every moment.

VvD worth every penny...

Liverpool look so much better now with the worlds most expensive defender :D:D

How long are games going to last once VAR gets introduced more widely?

There is no place for it in football, get rid. If it becomes the norm I will find another sport to watch

var never killed the moment in the last min away to Watford though

I don't understand the criticism either. Isn't it good that right decisions are being made for a change? It needs some work, but I'd rather have this than cheating bastards winning games.

Only oddballs who think VAR -the disallowed goal and pen- has conspired against the smaller side. Which is completely coincidental.

The one thing I would change is to have the refs miked up to the PA system, and they can explain to everyone in the stadium what is going on, what they are reviewing, etc.

I think it is working fine. In theory it should help clubs like us get decisions at the big clubs.

Would be better if the ref had showed some urgency and jogged across to the review screen rather than slowly stroll to it.

it isn't though isn't. it is giving the right decisions

We didn't need VAR for that, just a competent official who can see.

All it will do it makes referees worse then they already are and give them more and more limelight, making it all about them. If they did their job properly we wouldn't need it.

Well referees say nowt as it is and are almost basically unaccountable for their actions- they never get interviewed after games, and for sure they won't be telling their thoughts at the time to millions on tv!

I think to speed up the process, we shouldn't have had Pawson go up to the TV to take a look, just let Marriner (the ref watching the game somewhere in London) decide it there and then.
