Interesting to see that high studs into someone’s chest is just a yellow again now

And how they can say it’s an “accidental” deflection of the ball when the player has put his leg up high to go for the ball ?!!

The officials astound each week



Sad to see him leave - will be considered one of the best to have been at the club - criminally underrated outside the club based on the amount of goals he scored

It’s all about intent, screenshots don’t show the challenge in full.

The offside call was even more baffling - the defender clearly going for the ball



A draw was prob a fair result - Villa in the middle of a park were superb , Ramsey should be playing for England

Tbh I don’t get offside rules these days. It was something to do with VVD being in play but Christ knows 😂

Ollie’s penalty was abysmal 😂

You’re right about Ramsey, that kid has shown he’s got something special. All clubs like to see one of their own giving it their all and it’s great we have one again after losing JG. He’s got the potential to be a superstar and we have a manager that can keep pushing him to the highest levels.

With spurs losing a draw was all we needed, it’s now in our hands to qualify for Europe next weekend, a glimmer of hope for Europa League but highly unlikely unless Southampton pull off something special today!

Bobby was always scoring wasn’t he 😂 we called that as soon as he came on
 
He is still prone to a Lloris style howler that he shouldn't let in though. It's a lies and statistics job. I'm happy for utd to stick with him, as I suspect you secretly are too 😉.

Well done to Forest, genuinely pleased for them. As to next Sunday, 2 from 3. With Leeds playing the rock that are Spurs 🙄, and Leicester playing West Ham U18's then Everton will have to beat Bournemouth at home to stand a chance. Whether it is in our control largely depends on Leeds v West Ham U18's tomorrow 🤔 (I don't see Leicester winning at the Toon, their last home game of the season on Monday)
I think we are down. Leeds to get something today. Can't see Leicester gettting anything v Newcastle but thyen it is out of our hands. West Ham and SPurs both on the beach league wise. Oh well it had to happen eventually after the last few years of tripe.

It's all about the game today and sadly I think you are right. If it does happen next Sunday we can't complain. We haven't been unlucky, we haven't been hard done to.

I think it’s one that stays “referees call” whatever he does. He gives a red, most people go “yea I can see why”. He doesn’t and people agree. It wasn’t very nice, but I can see why the ref only gives a yellow.

Villa were fantastic in slowing us down. Ignore the time wasting etc as all teams do it, but slowing us down while we had the ball and making us lose what has made us potent in recent weeks was the key.

Why we spent half of the 10 mins added time floating balls into the box, I have no idea. Plays straight into what your CBs and keeper want.
 
Looks like Moyes wants to A give rice a good send off in his last home game and b to respect the league

That teams pretty strong

Not happy that areola isn't starting tho. He is out European keeper (should be number one imo) but needs to get some match form rather than stop start
 
It does help when playing against a team that has the defensive ability of a group of school children.

Who are you talking about? Because I feel it could be either of us 🤣

Has your keeper been dropped?

I was talking about Leeds. We are easily the worst team defensively in the league.

Meslier was dropped by Allerdyce for the Man City game and has been out since.

Only thing that surprised me is it took that long

Must be one of the worst keepers around and I include lloris and degea on bad days!
