    The handball probably aided Foster getting on the end of it, which he did and probably should have scored. I don’t know how you could send Carlos off for denial of a goalscoring opportunity when the play became exactly that, a goalscoring opportunity, which Foster missed. Should have been brought back by the on field official for a free kick and a yellow card, no reason for VAR to intervene any further. Our penalty was soft and whilst I agree with Lineker that it’s a dive - it’s what I consider a dive - the fact that the likes of Kane have been doing this for years now and not being called out for it by the same people is somewhat galling to hear. Its the swings and roundabouts theory proved true in my opinion, the soft penalty against Burnley was our cosmic reward for being shafted multiple times against Sheff United.

    I’m sure I read last week how this new regime would be putting an end to the needless and expensive contract extensions, that’s going well then.

    Luiz has been pretty poor / quiet thus far. I’m trying to stave off memories of Macheda here, fingers crossed we get the next goal.

    Inoue needs to start fighting outside of Japan now to build his profile, he’s immense, the speed and power is phenomenal, like a young Pacquiao. His poise and balance is solid, seems to be able to take a punch, he took a few this morning, great watch every time though, and handy that his profile isn’t yet so big that it’s not PPV.

    Only so far he can go before his power becomes nullified, I’d say maybe one more step up, max two but he may be levelling out at SuperBantam. Can see this guys taking his power already fairly well.

    Inoue fighting now on sky for second set of undisputed titles, perhaps the best P4P on the planet currently

    I’m feeling optimistic, I think that late Zaniolo goal will have played a major part in our mindset going into tomorrow. May depend a little on who is or isn’t available but it should suit us more to play a team that will go for it themselves, I’m hoping that their poor result combined with Christmas Day might have them somewhat distracted for tomorrow, hoping.

    Yep, case in point Diego Forlan

    Guessing he could be out for a while anyway now as he seemed to do his shoulder / collarbone toward the end of the match

    It was just bound to happen wasn’t it? I should have put money on, was literally thinking earlier in the day yesterday about him scoring in the 86th min to either equalise or worse, the latter proving true of course.

    I’m sure we’ll be getting an apology from PGMOL in the coming days, at least one of the four key decisions (3 x penalties and 1 x disallowed goal) should have gone our way. The Watkins one for me was the most blatant but the handball not given comes close and I’m amazed that our disallowed goal was deemed a clear and obvious mistake.

    I think he slotted in fine, it’s barely a criticism to say he doesn’t have the passing range of a player who’s fast becoming known as one of the best passing centre backs in the country.

    Well, sequences come to an end. Typical that it was against probably the easiest on-paper opposition we’ve faced during the run, perhaps on a par with Luton. We dominated the game up until the 70th minute or so when we seemed to get nervous and slack, Sheff United grew into the game and my pre-match nightmare of Archer scoring the winning goal in the 86th minute almost came all too true. Thankfully Zaniolo had other ideas and somewhat spared our blushes. We didn’t shoot enough, overplayed it at times and lacked the kind of incisive passing we now have with Torres and Tielemans in the side. All that being said we should have had at least one penalty, the Watkins one early on baffles me, he was clearly shoved in the back with the ball coming toward him, that we then get a goal disallowed for a little bit of arm holding on their keeper is a joke. Frustrating, I think like others I went into tonight feeling nervous, wondering if we’d choke in the big moment. I don’t think we choked as such but it’s a sobering reminder that we’re not a top team, despite currently competing at the top. But that Zaniolo goal makes it just about bearable at least and softens the blow heading into Christmas, fingers crossed we bounce back at Old Trafford and if so, tonight’s result will be quickly forgotten.

    The only person who looks even more unhappy when he’s scored a goal

    Has there even been a ‘monopoly break up’ that’s actually benefited the general public? Its always dressed up as being a good thing but then hits us all in the pocket. I’m no fan of UEFA but I’m struggling to see any good coming out of this.

    West Ham were dreadful

    Pretty deflating news to not be replacing the north stand, wonder how much the bankruptcy of Birmingham council has played a part in this (probably answered in the previous 20 pages but can’t be arsed to trawl through).

    So we have what, four different badges now and this one’s a total joke. Emery out.

    So much more enjoyable to watch football without VAR
  21. bannedfromHandV
    Yep, and also why it almost certainly will not be overturned or even appealed against I suspect.

    I actually think the ref was initially going to book the palace player for a dive before Foden gave the game away by limping

    What chance - with the run we’re on currently in the league, after beating two of the best teams in the country, on a 15 game winning run at home - we lose to bottom of the bloody table? Wilder’s had our number a bit in past meetings, though none of those involved Emery. Fingers crossed we don’t just turn up and think we’ve won before a ball’s kicked because it won’t be that easy.

    Where to start in dissecting that one. Lots of possession but not enough cut and thrust for most of the game, should have scored first half but they had decent chances on the break too, couldn’t grumble too much with them leading at half time. Fairly lacklustre second half then Ben Mee finally gets his comeuppance, thankfully this time without ending one of our players’ career (effectively). Then all hell broke loose. Two good headers and at that point it’s just a case of keep your heads and stay out of the emotion of the game but we did the opposite. I blame Martinez for Bouba’s red card, just no need to go and get involved with that little shit Maupay on the ground, leave him there floundering like the petulant little child he is. We’re really going to miss Bouba against United in particular I fancy. Good subs again from Emery, helped to spur us along, 2nd place in the table if only for a couple of hours, wtf is going on?!?

    Lots of chances for Cash and Moreno, should have done better with some of them, Cash just not effective enough in an advanced role. Wank goal to give away, fingers crossed we can get out of here with a point at least, bloody hate Brentford away.
