Re: Weekend football - 27/28 April 2024

I don't usually hold a grudge on refereeing decisions, but that handball remains one of the worst VAR interventions I've seen. Add to that the fact Dortmund fans were delightful rather than d******** and it's a no brainer.

We're all Dortmund right? Cracking game so far, Sancho looks world class again.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

Chelsea are already knackered though aren't they by being already well past the UEFA thresholds, so holding other clubs back might benefit them? To be honest I'm not reading anything into this until details start coming through and clubs actually act on it. For all we know the threshold could be 20x...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

If Targett stays fit he's probably the best actual left back at the club (leaving out Trippier out of position, and Livramento and Hall are still WIP), needs to be a decision for the medical staff. I still think any GK signing though needs to be an upgrade on Pope, not just a replacement for Dubravk...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

I'd be disapproved if we let Longstaff go for £15m, no way do we fill that position for the same price. As a backup to the extent you'd hope Murphy ends up next season he's perfectly decent, especially when he isn't playing every game injured.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blades

There are points in games where Bruno will play a pass straight out for a throw in and get a "Bruno!", while Longstaff will fail to control a misplaced pass and get booed. Bruno is obviously a brilliant player but the double standards on basic stuff is ridiculous, the last thing he needs is a pre ma...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blades

Possibly one of the least deserved 5-1 wins of all time, genuinely fortunate that Sheff Utd are as s*** as they are. Bruno milked the crowd as standard but had a poor game generally, giving the ball away repeatedly and trying to force things that just weren't there instead of having some patience ag...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace

On the plus side at least we didn't ship 5 like West Ham. The away form has been poor all season, how we finish will likely come down to the next 3 (two at home and Burnley away), because I don't fancy us going to Old Trafford needing something.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace

Longstaff's in, Hughes is beaten and pulls across him with his arm. You can talk about contact all you like with attempted tackles, but he's clearly impeded him in the area, it's a clear penalty.
