The Footie Thread

Considering the concussion chances of a ball in the face can you blame them?

This isn't Sunday league..these players can hit the ball

Yes I do blame them. He was less than a yard away from a ball on the floor. The chances of getting hit in the face was close to zero unless Salah had chipped it, in which case it wouldn't have hit him hard enough to cause concussion. He's turned his back and cost his team a goal.

Don’t get the overturning of the Leicester penalty decision. Yes Gomes got a touch, but Perez still had control of the ball and then Gomes trod on Perez’s foot and brings him down preventing him getting a pass or shot away.

It looked a penalty to me to be fair. Gormless by Gomes, he shouldn't have put a foot there. I'd have been miffed had it happened to us.

Any reason why Perez isn't starting? He improved Leicester no end when he came on.

Haller what a goal!!!!!!

Only one result here and not going to be a good one. Being outplayed, we're flat and only a matter of time. A shadow of the performance at the weekend

I assume Liverpool fans that said it was a foul on Salah for a push in the back will agree that Kane should have had a penalty for the challenge by Mane when he missed the header from the corner? Both hands in his back and pushed him.

Beneteke red.
Well two yellows

Both harsh

But both for the same thing so he didn't learn

Who was the person that objected to me calling Arsenal bang average, because I support little West Ham?

11 goals just before Christmas. Yikes.

Surprised "Big Sam" is going to WBA, I thought he'd be hanging on for a crack at the big job he deserves..... Yernited ?

He's been fantastic every club he's been at and had them all punching above their weight.....

Are Newcastle looking for a new manager?

....................... and if United win their two games in hand over everyone above them we're 2nd.
Who'd have thought?

Conceding late from a corner is very annoying. Thought we played well second half and were worth a point. Had two very good chances to go 2-1 up, shame Bergwijn can't finish, and I don't know what happened with Kane's header, obviously saw it at the last second. Oh well. Might as well give Liverpool the title now, nobody has been anywhere near consistent enough to chase them.

When do they ever win two games these days?

If you had a decent manager you would be first

We've won four of our last five league games and drew the other one.

I watch decisions like this and I honestly question the integrity of the Premier league sometimes. Absolutely crazy and where the hell is VAR when refs are making clear and obvious errors?

Anyway, happy for a point against a decent West Ham team imo.

Bold bit... please feel free!

Given Mourinho's bus parking and the way we played at the weekend I was worried today was gonna be a god awful game of football, the likes of which hasn't been seen since premier league football was being played in Stoke...

Thank God I was wrong! Great game. If both teams were clinical we'd have been 3+ up at HT and Spurs would have had 2/3 second half. Absolutely chuffed with the result, obviously. But the performance was exceptional.

Southampton - City on Saturday. Is there an upset on the cards for an away win? ?

Who are they against? And when are they scheduled?

The latter is possibly more important, given there aren't any midweek breaks in the league until march now.

I don't believe var can do anything about yellows or two yellow card offences only straight reds

I'm sure someone will correct me if I've misspoken

Good game though. Thought we weren't going to get any chances then bamn
