My rubbish iPhone finally gave up the ghost, and I’m back to the even older one. Of course setting it up was a pain, lost loads of passwords etc, so can any Toon fan who was following me before do so on this new account please? HTL

May ?? The FA cup final's in May, that'll be mentally exhausting to and even then there's the small matter of the trip to Budapest πŸ˜‰

We won't be able to afford the wages others can (will) offer is the problem, it's a non starter IMO.

Probably waiting for permission to give it against a red shirt.

Well understand the rules then, that'd be a good start. I've seen some incredibly shitty seasons and reaching a cup semi final, last 16 of the CL and the FA cup 5th round is a certainly not one of those, particularly for a team hobbled by protectionist rules.

Deliberate would indicate he looked and targeted the face which is not the case. There’s also a litany of erroneous decisions we’ve subject to, Burn last night wasn’t one of them (Ramsey’s second yellow was)

Mad thing is there actually was contact, keeper hand caught Ramsey's trailing (right) foot causing him to stumble/fall. Mental decision th as t would never be given against the "big six"

Same ref screwed us v Chelsea at home when he was the VAR official, VAR's primary opinion is check colour of shirt, if red = see what we can give/disallow. Surprised they got the Burn situation correct, as per the rules.

VAR didn't disagree, which is somewhat telling, especially when it was against the precious red shirts.

Well that one was sort of coached/planned, per after match interviews Osula asked to stay out after training for "10 more balls" practicing that exact same situation on Tuesday, he converted 8/10, now I guess he's 9/11 πŸ˜‰

He wasn't looking at him, he had no idea where Shaws head was, and was shrugging him off, was accidental hence no VAR action, which is a major surprise seeing their favourite red shirts were involved.

Pretty much spot on although I'd have given BDB an 8, he was literally and figuratively colossal. I'd also disagree that Gordon "missed a sitter" - was a very difficult chance if you consider it from the start :

Tbh the only dumb thing about Ramseys red was the refs decision to card him. Never would have happened to a red shirt in a million years, which is the real annoyance.

Until such time as we can match the wages paid by the "big six" we (and Villa for that matter) are destined to seesaw in and out of Europe.

They chose to leave, usually for significant financial benefit, we have absolutely no duty to protect IMO, unless that is they're prepared to cover any costs.
