The Footie Thread

[HomerJSimpson]

Well, the dust has settled a bit after last night and I'm still immensely proud of my club.

Champions league record at Villa Park was absolutely incredible, 1 draw and we won every other game.

Desperate to be back in Europe next season at any level, we have to maintain this for as long as possible to keep growing.

A league campaign to now focus on and hopes of an FA cup too. Still so much to play for!

Up the Villa!

What a night and even as a neutral (OK wanted an English club to win) I thought it was on. I feared for you at 2-0 on the night but had the last goal gone in you'd have won it in extra time as you had so much momentum. I hope your season doesn't implode on the back of last night but I am sure Unai will make sure they stay focussed

Eze one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen.

Add Saka to that.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Saka has just matched it

Big call from the ref though.

Big call from the ref though.

It was a VAR call that came out of the blue. No one was expecting it.

Defender did pull Arsenal player, although I thought the Arsenal player dragged the Madrid player's arm just before. Interesting call, maybe Saka felt sorry for them. Very bad penalty

Got to take advantage of a decision like that. Very rare to get that in such a big game

Those types of penalties drive me nuts. Give it a belt. Absolutely embarrassing.

Incidentally, the ineptitude of the penalty has glossed over the ridiculous amount of time it took to give it. Really poor.

Anyway, the wide men of Newcastle continue their impressive form.

Devastating first half against Palace tonight.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

This is very soft and it’s nearly 3 mins to make a decision

This is a complete farce

 

[Swango1980]

This is very soft and it’s nearly 3 mins to make a decision

And counting

 

[Arthur Wedge]

It was never a penalty but how did it take over 5 mins

 

[HomerJSimpson]

The Real game is about to combust. They feel they should have had a penalty and I am sure they will get another penalty shout

 

[clubchamp98]

Yes and his foot looked offside.

5 mins is very poor it’s normally good in Europe.

The way Newcastle are playing I wonder if they can sneak into 2nd

Need Isak to up his game for that to happen....he should have had three tonight already.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Palace are crap. More annoying that they beat us in FA Q/F when we were also poor on the day

As if by magic
