Good news indeed.

Here's to see him back out on the pitch sooner rather than later/

I bet he's gnashed his teeth down level to his gums.

He's be nicking I am Maximus's set for the final run in of the season!

Don't know where to start with that display, but here goes............. Overall, a lazy, insipid, generally couldn't be a**ed performance. Outmuscled most of the game, crosses and passes not even getting past the first man. Paqueta? The sort of performance that makes me feel there's a deal already d...

In my mind, dealing with the cheats is a bit of a conundrum. If it became mandatory to take a player off for a head injury assessment and replace them with a temporary sub, we all know what's going to happen; It'll just become another tool to gain an advantage. Players who may need a bit of a breath...

I was going to post before the game that I'd have a feeling VAR would have a say AGAIN........... but in our favour. The reason being, if there was anything controversial, it wouldn't matter in this game because it doesn't involve the big/new money clubs and it's one of those games that can "ev...

And, by today's standards, the ref had a decent game. The bar is low mind you, but he didn't screw up the big calls, not that there were too many. Exactly my thoughts WCp. Mind you, after two games, I'm still at a loss what the difference is between a full on shove (foul) and a shoulder-to-shoulder...

Kurt being interviewed on TNT.

Looks like he's growing horns.

So Paqueta's nudge then is deemed a foul, yet Kudus being wiped out at the weekend wasn't.

Anyhow off to pub now.

All seemed to start when Roy Keane and Co. abused the referee and all Ferguson said was the ref should have stood his ground.

I agree with all you say here but I don't blame shearer for laughing it off. If it had gone the other way and one of the Cole brothers had been there I think they'd have done similar One of The Cole brothers was there and didn't call Newcastle or the officials out on any of the decisions. Still, th...

3-1 up v Brighton. Ended 3-3 3-0 v Arsenal. Ended 3-3 3-0 up to Palace, Wolves, Leicester. Ended up clinging on to 3-2. Yesterday. 2-1 up v Brentford, end up losing 3-2 Just a few examples that spring to mind.. One of Eggs Jnr 1's friends is best friends with one of our recently departed players. A...

Well said , Macca - I don't mind losing to the two cracking goals scored by Harvey Barnes but those 2 penalties ' won ' by Gordon were a cynical disgrace to football yet the Ref and the VAR team allowed it - why ? I'd be embarrassed to win like that if I were Eddie Howe . The thing is TOMoS, Eddie ...

Been thinking this for a while now. Bielsa transformed Leeds overnight (if we're being really simplistic) and won the Championship at a canter, and got them ninth in their first Prem season, with the likes of Stuart Dallas, Liam Cooper and Tyler Roberts being regulars. Looks like Phillips, amongst ...

Gordon is a cheating little **** I reckon he's going to do his "penalty trick" one too many times and he's going to get in the way of a defender in full swing of a thunder**t clearance and he'll cause himself some serious damage. I'm certainly not the type to wish serious injury on any pl...

I'll say one thing......

Had both penalty decisions been waived away, Shearer would have been hosting a Motd special analysing every camera angle with Keown agreeing with every word.

Pretty much said the same in today's match thread Puff (not the naked bit, I hasten to add) and no doubt he'll find is mojo again.

Beacsue a shoulder barge is allowed Irrespective of the Phillips one, the Dan Burn one is not a foul IMHO I get a shoulder to shoulder challenge Crouchy, but if you look at pheonix232's post on page 64, it couldn't be further from shoulder to shoulder. I know I could be accused of having a large pa...

Anyway. All the controversy of this game will be forgotten by 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

THAT'S what The Premier League is all about.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

The argument to whether it was offside is another matter.

The thing is eggy, if it was that nailed on, why does it take VAR nearly five minutes to come to the decision?
