Son scoring at both ends in 2 minutes?

Staying onside twice in a game? Whatever next? 😂

Absolute definition of a no win for Newcastle. Whoever they put out, if they win of course they were supposed to. But after a crammed winter fixture list, and with the injury list they have, I can see being forced to a weakened team and thrown into a bearpit.

Unless Eddie can persuade the owners and some players to an early January transfer and introduce them to the beautiful game English style by being kicked repeatedly into the air at 150mph.

Anyway, more sublime goals being scored for fun at Portman Road…..

Great time to be a Town fan. Witnessing some truly excellent football under Kieran McKenna.

Oh cripes, he really is sticking with the high line.   I predict more goals in the second half.

I’ve had a punt on 5-1.

Could be more if he’s going to stick with this suicidal high line

The Etihad when they scored their first equaliser. It sounded like the away fans cheering, it was that quiet. 😂

As a Wolves fan, I have recently become very cynical towards refs and VAR.
It goes to show that even the Champions are subject to some bewildering refereeing!

Agreed, I'll take a few more of these this season

Watching the City players surrounding the ref when a decision doesn’t go their way…it’s a bit like watching Keane, Neville etc back when Utd. used to win things, if anyone can remember. The petulance comes from the top down of course.

Ten goals conceded in four games, three without a win in the league, away to Villa next with Rodri suspended…..bit of a wobble.

Villa season ticket holder here. We've got Citeh on Wednesday and Arsenal on Saturday.
Won every home game this season but I think it's time to watch these two as a lover of the beautiful game rather than as a Villa fan.

@BigJohn - I honestly think you’re being a bit harsh there. As a neutral I think that sounds like two fantastic games. Villa are playing some great football (I never thought I’d say that!) and I don’t think either of those are foregone conclusions by any stretch

Just watched it on MotD

It was a poor decision. But if the keeper hadn't dived over one, and if Haaland could hit an open goal from 10 metres then it wouldn't have mattered.

But yes, it's the ref's fault they didn't win.

Just watching the MOTD November Goal of the Month contenders and there are 7 absolute screamers.

The standard of football we’re watching at the moment in this league is insane. We’ve got a potential goal of the season with Garnacho and we’re shite!

and even now the Liverpool v Fulham game shows that there are more special goals to be scored. Absurd.

Garnacho’s was off the chart, but I posted up YouTube clips on this thread of Sarabia and Olise, both absolutely WTF?! goals

and even now the Liverpool v Fulham game shows that there are more special goals to be scored. Absurd

You’ve already got a few contenders for Decembers. Like I said; the quality we’re presently seeing from the top players in this league is absolutely bonkers!

Aside from the goals what marks it out is the intensity and the clinical execution. Can you imagine the likes of Gazza or Steve Bruce coping with today’s game with their hangovers and beer bellies? It’s a very different game to 20-30 years ago.

Saw the wonder kids Garnacho and Mainoo were rated 4/10 by Sky after the Newcastle game - lol.

As a Leeds fan I'm looking forward to when the Prem teams start sacking their managers and come sniffing for yours!

Not really as it wasn't going in before it hit the keeper.

True enough.

Brings us back to Nick Pope for Sterling's FK a week or so ago, and assertions that he should have dived / made a better effort

On this case it went straight in, but look at TAA yesterday (OG off the keeper) vs Trippier's very similar one against Man Utd where Onana doesn't try to save it and it bounces back out. Evidence seems to suggest diving for lost causes is a mug's game, and likely to backfire more than it'll ever pay off 😉

Well it looks like the Pope v Dubravka argument is going to be settled in the next couple of months.

The citeh spurs game was a great watch. I'm impressed with Spurs. Pains me to say it as an Arsenal fan. I think they will finish above us this season. They have a lot of players to come back. It's going to be so close this season.

Just seen the highlights of the Spurs game. That decision in the last minute and the reaction of the City players... wonderful. Seeing that massive norse man-baby throwing a strop warms the cockles of my heart.

The referee's de3cision was woeful but Haaland's reaction and subsequent tweet, were unacceptable. He should be charged by the FA.

I think that he missed 2 absolute sitters was the real reason they drew that game.

Probably accounts for his reaction, as he knew it.

Going to be a nervous few weeks when Premier League managers start getting sacked in the New Year. Especially if we have our usual New Year wobble and jumping ship looks a better option for him to manage in tne Premier League.

It should be like this all the time, where all the matches are available and you choose which you want to watch

It’s bonkers that you can’t!

Yep, new deal signed this week, and still only select matches available with the pointless Saturday 3pm blackout, despite all the evidence from other countries that matches on TV has no impact on match attendance.

Anyway, I applied for some tickets in the euro 2024 lottery today as it is coming to Germany, hope I don't get them all otherwise I am on the hook for nearly 2 grands worth of tickets (worth may be a relative term). I only want to watch a couple of matches really, never watched any in an international tournament. I expect eufa will keep most of the tickets for the final reserved for dignitaries so they can be sold on the black market.

Mental in the women's games.

If it stays as it is (5-0 vs Scotland and 2-0 NL win) the GB can go to the Olympics still.

England and NL have both just scored...... so now 6-0 and 3-0 but still that ENG +3 GD on the night.

NL still playing, and Scotland have been bashing the door down to potentially put themselves out as team GB
