Ings hamstring..!!..

If hes out for a while,will be interesting if Soton can still be an effective pressing side..

Ings has had a Great 8-10months..

Luvvilly jubbilly.

I thought you were joking! Wow! Arsenal getting double teamed when they're already up the creek. It's like it's Christmas or something.

He's been out for a period earlier in the season already and I believe they coped okay. I didn't notice a downturn in form anyway

 He started the season & was Scoring goals, und created alot of Space/assists for teammates..

I thought he only missed a couple of games...could be wrong..??

VAR has only been created because the media jump onto the refs when they make a bad decision in order to make a story.

if we swapped nacho  for calvin wed give Livarpool a run for the title

Imagine Vardy and him knocking on for each other

He only missed 3 games. They won 1, drew 1 and lost 1.

 

I think it will hurt them but not as much as a side like us or Everton. Che Adams is also having a great season.

Yeah, but I'm talking about Everton, not us! 

Well if it’s not what you want to watch as a neutral, what’s the point in saying it in the first place when you have to watch it as a none neutral! 

[Aus Fox]

Was there much difference in the Wilson penalty given with a red card and the overturned Perez penalty against Everton?

You really can see why their fans are fed up. Bruce is getting away with so much.

Said it the other week - Sky or BT spend every Newcastle game pulling up performance metrics that always put Newcastle 19th or 20th in just about everything, yet then proceed to spend the post match talking about how Bruce gets unfair stick.

 

Newcastle fans get a shitty deal from the media in my eyes. Worse than us.

The game is done. Pull the curtain down. 2 premier league refs looked at that and decided it was a penalty and a red card. 

 

Call it.

Just imagine a world where we had no VAR and fans back in grounds. Can't believe we're at a point where we'd be delighted just for that.

Ings out long term again?

It'd be great but I can't imagine we'd play 2 up front.

Too quick for his own body, like Darren Eadie.

Some people seem to have the ability to play professional football but not the required muscle or bone structure. Ings is a prime example of this as are people like Wilshere, James and as you rightly say Eadie. It must be so frustrating for them. People always go on about how they would love 100k a week to sit and do nothing but knowing you have so much ability and potential but not being able to use it must be soul destroying. I genuinely feel sorry for them.

VAR was supposed to highlight errors and fix them. Instead all it's highlighted is how staggeringly poor, inconsistent and even biased our officials are.

it works in the favour of some teams but is being exploited against other teams, it's allowing refs even more corruption than before.. all we need is goal line and offside technology.

Keep it simple, if you can’t see it’s a mistake at first look then it’s not a clear and obvious error and stick with the on field decisions.

Newcastle fans have had a lot of grief over the years about delusion and inflated expectation which might be fair or not. You can't blame them for feeling fed up watching a decent Premier League squad perform abjectly a lot of the time and somehow garner enough points to remain comfortable.

That's how it should be but you know the media with all their camera angles will try to prove right is wrong and wrong is right and we'll be back where we started with managers and fans bemoaning their bad luck without any thought to the good luck they've had.

Anyone that thinks it's a pen or tries to justify it is part of the problem.

So that’s a pen and a red card and Perez wasn’t. How some of these guys are employed by a ref. Every footballer at every level knows it’s a dive but because they get those decisions they’ll keep doing it.

[OntarioFox]

Hard to see Sheff Utd getting out of their nosedive, so let's have a Brighton win here to really put the cat amongst the North London pigeons. 

[The People's Hero]

Why do they keep talking about Lundstram as a 'good honest pro' and 'not that sort of player'. That's a horrific challenge and he's got away with a few previously also.
