      What’s that got to do with it? The player was past “him” so he “took one for the team”… for both.. exactly the same for me!

      EDIT: you went looking for me… told ya! 🙂

      Anyway, HT, and Pool should be leading for sure… Bone Saw Boyz inching back into it the more the half went on… sloppy conditions and a feisty (ish) match might not get me 7 reds but I think 1 or maybe 2 might be coming… (don’t think I’m getting 8 goals either!)

        Hey Mak, that yellow Joelinton didn’t get was exactly the same as the yellow the pool player didn’t get against Everton… 🙂

          That was a harsh yellow for Diaz

                Should that be a red as well?

                  Could see that as “off” in real time… no need for VAR…

                    They’ve been “parking” away from home every since Eddie took over… never understood this “exicting” Newcastle nonsense…

                        Let me tell you about my little monkeys school for another example…

                        I’ve never seen her in classroom with more than 20 kids in it, and up until grade 6, there was always two teachers in every class (1 teacher and 1 “trainee” teacher to be fair). Every year she gets a whole new set of scool books (which she keeps) and when she started grade 6, the school issued her a laptop… and this is for every kid!!!

                        The school building itself is less than 10 years old, and has all the “things” you would expect a modern school to have, I think the only thing it is missing is a swimming pool, and that’s very probably because it’s about 200 yards from the towns swimming pool anyway…

                        And I’ll tell you this about the “attitude” the Finnish education system has, and this is a true story. I was talking to techers asssitant called Ian (from Wales but was a West Ham fan for unknown reasons), basically half-complaining/half-wondering why my monkey literaly has 5 differnet start times and 5 different finishing times each week (start times can be anywhere between 8:15 and 9:45 & finishing times 1:15 & 2:45). This is not quite word for word, but the simple version was the start times are staggered, as are lunch times, so it’s easier and safer to get the kids in and out the school, and lunch times were staggered because it’s easier to serve the kids in batchs of 30/40/50 rather than the whole school at once (which does make sense if you think about it), and they have to stagger the start times so everybody gets early/lates otherwise parents complain if they got all lates etc… so everybody gets good/bads ones…

                        When I mentioned this was all a bit of a pain in the Arsenal for parents and work etc… he laughed, looked me straight in the eye and said “we’re not here to make your life easer, we’re here to give your kids the best education possible!”

                          Things got a bit political while I wasn’t watching… here’s my comments for what they’re worth. I’ve had the privilage to live in 5 different countries over the years (anything more than 2 years!) and 3 of those countries were what you would call “2 party” systems (and that would include the UK) and 2 countries have what I would call Scandi-models (or what you pommies would call “hung-parliments”)… and the evidence I lived in would suggest that countries that have the Scandi-models are considerably better countries to live in.

                          The weather sucks during winter (it’s minus 21 at the moment) but Finland is without a doubt got its head screwed on politically with the Scandi-model and other things here that don’t happen in the UK. Just to give you some of the highlights… the tax system is structured in such a way it is very, very hard for both companies and people to cheat, they all pay their fair share and everybody (both corporate and personal) have their taxes “free” to the public (name ’em and shame ’em policy). That’s the first thing that the UK doesn’t have.

                          Now you have a country where everybody is paying their fare share, and a permamnent “hung-parliment”… this means no singular party ever has enough control to promote their very own “mandate”, so in order to keep a seat at the main table, all parties have to agree on things that the vast majority of Finnish residents agree on… this would include one of the best “NHS” systems in the world, a free education upto and including university system which is regulary ranked in the Top3 in the world, an infrastucture that is modern and works, a well-funded police force (which takes no shit from anybody) and very, very low crime rates… basically things which benifit everybody regardless of race/color/religious et….

                          Not saying it’s perfect, but comparing the 5 countries I’ve lived in (UK, US, Australia, Denmark & Finland) it’s easily top of that list (and Denmark, another “Scandi-model”, is 2nd)…

                            Happy New Year to you numpties…

                            Mak, with regards to that yellow, I’ve seen a hell of a lot “less” be given a yellow for tugging back a player on a breakaway… absolute yellow card offence… maybe the 2nd yellow element had an effect on the ref’s thought process (afterall, we all do piller the refs to “ruining” games on occassions)… but I think if the boot was on the other foot, you’d be signing a different tune, especially if Pool dropped 3 points.

                              I dunno… the 115 don’t look quite as T1000 as somebody likes to say, but they’re missing a few players at the moment… just a crazy part of the season and with a ton of players missing all over the place till the end of Jan, I’m not betting any Monster Munch on anybody until then…

                                  Considering that was probably the first time this season we’ve genuinely got what we deserved (still don’t think that first peno was a peno, will it was, but it wasn’t the first offence in that passage of play), and looking at the full-time stats we still created a lot of chances over the course of the 90 (but missed them), and our current injury list… I’m not getting on Angie case just yet. All today proved is our squad players just ain’t good enough, still fancy our current 1st 11 when fit to turn over the vast majority of sides!

                                  Still only 4 points behind Arsenal and they were favourites to win the league last week! 🙂

                                      Can’t make excuses Sweedy, that 45 mins was even worse than the last 45 against Everton, and tht was the worst I’ve seen us play all season… do fancy us to score at least one, maybe two, but I also fancy Brighton to score too…

                                          3? 5 or 6 wouldn’t have flattering them… we’re not at the races at all (still not happy with the double standards on the peno call!), if we get anything out this game, they’ll be kicking themselves.

                                            Hmmm… 100% a shirt pull by the ginger ninja and a peno… but why wasn’t the same shirt pull on Son to stop him from clearing the ball about 0.01 seconds before that not count? You literally had two shirt pulls within 0.01 seconds within 2m of each other?

                                            I blame “115” FC… 🙂
