Shocking decision by VAR. Maddison throws himself into the outstretched leg. Blatant dive.

VAR never touch those as there is techni ally contact even though Maddison initiated it. Another flaw in the system really. But it is consistent :lol:

Sky come back from the half time commercials and the presenter asks Souness is it a penalty (Leicester one ) he says yes it is . Pardew then gets asked after him and says no way. Souness then says it’s not a penalty :lol: :lol: Why do Sky employ him ?

Commentators, pundits, journalists have banged the drum of "well there is contact, so he is entitled to go down"

and here we are

It's maybe my worst phrase in football. So silly to say "there's contact" as some sort of justification. It's a contact sport. What's the nature of the contact? Is it a foul, is the correct question. Maddison makes the contact and gets the penalty. Just shocking to see.

Cannot wait to sing 'going down going down going down' at Newcastle on the 27th as juvenile as it is. Bellends.

From the BBC

West Ham have attempted 23 crosses in this match, higher than their season average of 22 (over a whole game).

You won't be seeing any 4-2-2-2 under Moyesey.

Surely they’ll spend massively in January to avoid relegation, that would be a massive blow.

Excellent. The price for Martial and Lingard just went up a few million.

Newcastle play the dippers, citeh and us in their next three games. Oh please let them be relegated. :lol:

Burnley, Watford and Southampton need to stop being so equally shite though, it's giving them hope.

If West Ham don’t win this then it’s 2 wins in 6 and those were against Chelsea and Liverpool.
They aren’t in that great of form but people pretend they are for some reason

Relegation is a serious threat for Newcastle this season. I hope they panic buy Martial or/and Lingard in january. We can really profit here if we play smart.

If we fail to break these down next week, then feck me.. I kind of thought with Leicester coming back from a miserable exit in europe and Evans going off through injury earlier on they might pull something off. Newcastle are garbage, hopefully their impending relegation delays this "project" of theirs for many years to come that their head butcher owners grow impatient and pull the plug.

Howe was a terrible appointment for a team as bad defensively as Newcastle.

They will need some January transfer window now because their coach isn’t going to make them any better at the back, and that’s what send you down.

Who will join a club in January with a high probability of being relegated? Even if you could convince them of the long-term project, who of any quality will even want the single season in the Championship?

Journeyman players if paid well enough. The type of those a few years back that spent their peak years opting for a year in the China or Russian wilderness when it was all the rage.
