A thought on this season (Premiership/Championship/All other UK Leagues/Champions’ League/FA Cup/Any leagues world wide)

Wonderful

I'm sure they'll get another Manchester based referee to fuck us up, but at least the most blatant one is now gone...

And before the ink is dry on my last post, the FA charge Arsenal yet again.

But still haven't charged Richarlison for this.

Let alone various other incidents that have been blatantly ignored...

He would have been red carded for that if he was still playing for us

Everton and Liverpool got charged as well this week. Guess the FA is a bit short on money at the moment.

Absolutely! And that's what sticks in the craw. You don't want to go down the rabbit hole, but when there seems to be such a blatant agenda, it's hard to ignore...

Sad news about Christian Atsu, thoughts with everyone affected by the devestating earthquakes

You sort of knew when conflicting reports came out saying he hadn't actually been found as had previously been said..so sad the while tragedy is awful

Fwoof! That was a nervous game!

Some dreadful defending from us, but the fight to come back at the end was superb.

♫"Top of the league, we're havin' a laugh"♫ - for a few minutes anyway...

Yep a very nervous watch. I was convinced they'd score from that last corner!

Yes, very stressful. We really needed this win. Disappointed that Trossard didn't see much of the ball.

We won with a lovely goal from 60 grand Seamus Coleman

Good day for you Gunners, also a very good win for Southampton.

@DuncinToffee Yes and Iwobi with the assist.

the Arsenal connection

Just back from the stadium and Gladbach who couldn't beat bottom of the league Schalke, lost 4-1 against 2nd bottom of the league Hertha, have beaten Bayern bloody München

Thoughts with Christian Atsu family and friends. Glad to see Bournemouth wearing a black armband

Re the VAR, refusal to see, does anyone else think that match fixing maybe behind it.

Newcastle are having a bit of a 'mare. Especially thinking towards next weekend.

Nice on Brefugee

Isn't Barcelona being investigated for payments to referees?

It's horrific

And yes the refusal to see is very dodgy and open to abuse

Loads of interesting results today. Southampton Ward-Prowse beating Chelsea. Pope off in, Newcastle v Liverpool does Spurs a favour.

Not going well for the Barcodes against Liverpool.

And I had Pope in my Dream Team as well...

Oblomov not interesting but excellent.

Saints and Cherries! have had to have a beer.

Saints fan talk has been all week about Southampton beating Chelsea, Chelsea sacking Potter, and then Potter taking over at St Mary's. So 1/3

Yes. Well. I was at the match. I’ve come home and watched the recording of the match on TV and then stayed up to watch the highlights of the match on MOTD.

And I still can’t work out what the feck Nick Pope was thinking.

im gutted for him. Absolutely lost his mind and now misses the cup final. Our back up keeper has played for the feckin opposition on an absolutely insane 4 month loan deal so is cup tied and our third choice keeper is on loan to Hull.

Enter Loris Karius for his redemption story.

You couldn’t write it but man this is typical Newcastle stuff.

Having said all that, we didn’t play badly despite being a man down and we gave Liverpool a run for their money. The match was lost within 15 minutes of fuckery but outside of that I’d say we matched them.

Nice to see ASM get man of the match, he’s hitting form in time for the cup final🤞🏻🤞🏻
