I agree! I wonder if the now unavoidable fake crowd noise on EPL games is in part to drown some of that out

1-1 Gracious
Did I mention how much I loathe Davies....how is he not goal side

2-1 Son off rebound from Moura shot

Son cross to Kane's head

3-1 and through to face Maccabi Haifa at home

Yid vs Yid

COYS!

UGH.

I thought the back of an arm inadvertent (off a deflection too) was not a penalty????


EDIT - oh I was aware of the 2019 rule change, but apparently in 2020 they have revised again. Grrrrrr.



Very frustrating we dominated the game and should have had 3-4 goals at that point. Gut punch.

Man this handball rule is bs. Can they change it mid-season?

A complete joke.

A dominant performance wasted

So did Crystal Palace

I mean it isn't even sporting.
Here is the penalty to even give them the free kick

Handball aside, I was disappointed to see Dele left out of the side today. I guess I have a soft spot for him and want him to do well, but he's clearly out of favor. Given the number of games coming up, I'm sure he'll get some looks in rotation, but it's been sad to see him not take the next step (and maybe take a few backwards).

Also have to figure that one of Lamela or Bergwijn are on course for a similar role once Bale is fit.

Seems like Hart is now our backup keeper. I thought Gazzaniga showed some flashes last year, but wouldn't be surprised to see him on the move.

Glad Son was able to get some rest, although you have to wonder if he'd have put some of those chances away in the second half

Sounds like Son pulled a hammy and gonna be out

I don't understand the bale signing. Too much money for someone who doesn't want to work. Hopefully I'm wrong. The handball needs to be fixed or it will effect the champion no question. If son is out that's a huge loss. He has been for me the best player on our team for awhile.

Steve Bruce the Newcastle manager calls the call nonsense and travesty.

"If you are gonna tell me that's a handball then we all may as well pack in. It's nonsense.... It's ludicrous it ought to be deliberate."

He's happy to take the point but says they got away with one.

Jose said he would say exactly that in his press conference. Pretty cool how much respect they all have for each other

I think they all agree that the integrity of the game is at stake. 2 Robies were saying you could start to see guys just get in the box and flick up at defenders' hands. At this point why would you not?

I think we need to reach out to man city and see if we can get Jami tart.

As a Newcastle fan I loved getting a result from a game we had no business being in. However I think that VAR needs a massive revision. It's getting ridiculous how much it has changed the game.

So literally everyone hates the rule.... And yet here we are

I don't know what the complaint is. This is a foul all day long.

He just pointed the wrong way. That's all.

Wow

We are in PKs with Chelski right now

Damn didn't know there was a game. I need some better sports app for alerts. Mine only does EPL and Champions or Europa League games apparently.

That was a great comeback to advance! Glad Mourinho finally got a win against Lampard. Played much better in the second half than the first. Seeing Dier run off the pitch for a visit to the restroom was a sight to see.

How in the name of Zeus' bung hole do we not have a backup striker yet?!?!? Craziness
Lamela was really bad (he is playing out of position)...head down trying to dribble through 4 people turnover
Sergio is exactly what we think/hope he is .....fast, small, terrific passer, opens up that left side...
The first 30 minutes were UGLY...Chelsea had all possession a Werner scored from Sergio going to ground and then us not able to clear
AFter that we looked pretty good.

Lampard and Jose had a fun interaction yelling at each other halfway through first period
Jose said Frank doesnt stand on line when he's down 0-3 to West Brom

We beat Chelsea with our B team

I don't care if it's the Carabao Cup. I want some silverware this season. I feel like it's about to happen!
