No mention of the footy being on. Lively start for The Hammers vs The Chavs.

Wth is 'accidental contact', VAR are just making things up on the spot.

I think the Chelsea player has fucked my screen up as well!

That is what I want to see Charly Alcaraz doing for us... but who would be in the middle to convert?

They've shipped 6 in a game and a half!

WHU have some decent players. Shouldn't be getting completely exposed like this

Might struggle to make wk3.

West Ham beat us the other week

We'll stay up on goal difference! 😂

I don't know how it's possible for ref and VAR to miss this. But the stooges in the studio always manage to concoct a convenient narrative depending on which team has benefitted/lost out.

Weren't some ToffeeWebbers advocating for Potter back in the day?

It's this inconsistency, subjectivity, and bias that drives fans mad.

West Ham have imploded

It's a new hurdle to ensure decisions favour the top sides, dressed up in a digital age.

Tarks was obvious TBF.

It matters.

Not sure of the exact words but if you're too close to get your arms out of the way in time... it's not a foul.

It was the only time I can ever remember West Ham, bringing a few thousand supporters to Goodison, and the funny bastards got it right when they continuously sang that we would be running around Wembley with fuck-all.

Interesting to see the much-talked-about Bowen, who is a good player, on the right side of midfield, but always looking to come in on his left foot. Another inverted winger, which has now become common practice.

I was at that game in May '86. Outside, there were a few West Ham supporters on Goodison Road and Gwladys Street making their way to the Park End. Banter was healthy and they wished us well against Liverpool. Inside the ground, it got a bit spicy, especially in the corner of the Enclosure and the old Park End, which used to be given to the away supporters.

As for Potter, I spoke out against him when he was linked with us. It's too early in the season to call, but there will be pressure on him now.

He didn't look much better last night, going by the highlights and some of the game I saw.

Two things to take away so far: the stupidity of taking goal kicks to somebody stood next to you in the goal area, which was also shown in last week's game… and anybody saying they wouldn't have Richarlison back.

Man City keeper with an equally dubious handball and it's, of course, waved away.

Ake is on in his place so that could well scupper any hope we had of signing Ake. City will be way too short at the back with Akanji leaving.

I get that he has footballing principles but if the opponent pushes 4 and 5 players forward to press goal kicks, it isn't that hard to figure out what you have to do.

It would be interesting to see how he gets on because Thelwell was supposed to be seriously keen on signing him for us. He was reportedly the fastest player in Serie A last year.

Look at Leeds today – absolutely crap relegation fodder. I hope Moyes doesn't take that ultra-cautious approach all season.

He's been called the next Kaka.

Fuck OFF Premier League! Corrupt as fuck.

I'll watch Everton as I'm obsessed but the Premier League is corrupt and meaningless as fuck.

How ridiculous that Tarkowski's was given. This sport becomes more grotesque each year.

As to that 'Penalty' today – we all knew that would happen

Jake @ 56; was it the same fella we made look like a world class keeper last week? If so, says more about us really.

Palace reckon the Forest owner was pushing for them to be relegated from the Europa League with Uefa

Where'd he come from?

United's goal would have been disallowed by VAR if it had been Everton. 1-1 at moment.

Before you start with the misogyny crap, I think Cates and Logan are excellent.

I hate watching this shite on Sky. Are they still doing half-time interviews? Killing the game with their American-style bullshit.

I missed the game but enjoyed the live forum. I'll watch the customary 3 minutes on MotD2 tonight. UTFT!!

I have no idea what RS defensive strategy is. Don't think they do. They can definitely be got at.

No doubt these twats will.score with first shot

I'm listening on Radio Merseyside. Every challenge on a red is a foul. Every 50/50 decision should have been for Liverpool. Newcastle always try the strong arm tactics against Liverpool. Using the dark arts against Liverpool. So biased it's untrue. No one knows the dark arts at the RS.

Why doesn't Howe use Joe Linton up front?

Player of the match. Half time interviews. American birds (clueless) doing the “interviews” etc… what next, dancing elephants?

Yes. Just stupid by Gordon.

Newcastle have a mountain to climb now

Craig Hignett worst pundit I've ever heard.

Van Dyke gets away murder.

Gordon is a dick.

The devil is red.

Newcastle giving them a pounding without finding the net then Gordon, who was having a very good game did one of those cowardly tackles we saw him do while playing for us and couldn't argue with the red card.

A hard job for Newcastle has now become a near impossible one.

And Van Diyk won't get sent off for any awful challenges.

Is he a former rs player? Sounds like.

Regards tonight's match, I really dislike both sets of fans so don't give a fuck - ideal outcome to the Gordon tackle would have been for him to have really injured Van Dick and so get's a ten-match ban — win-win for everybody.

Can't say what he is like as a pundit as I don't have the sound on, never do for any of these bleedin' pundits.

They are jammy twats, I know we rode our luck yesterday but it seems like every game with them.

Never have a team scored so often against the run of play

Barcodes have got one back. Come on.

Just waiting for someone to breathe on Salad, go down and a penalty will be awarded.

The FA/PL has already reassured them of that.

Evil incarnate

He’s a special talent unfortunately

Arsenal will play the better football all season but will bottle it when it matters as per

City need a new manager that can refresh things, that may sound mental about Pep but I think his style of play now is becoming mundane and found out somewhat, once you press City high they crumble.

We could learn a thing or two from them.

Going at them with 10 men in the second half and playing against the ref for most of the match.

You need quality on the bench to come on and make an impact, as well as covering for injuries and suspensions. The games a lot quicker and more intense and as such mid game fatigue can be punished more as well as keeping energy levels high all season by some rotation. fresh legs can also be the difference between a player choosing to drop deep to avoid having to chase back if the ball is lost and being confident enough to push forward and support or press late on

I hope we don’t start selling players or loaning to many out, it’s a long season old season

It’s just like politics Nick, it doesn’t matter what you do, because if you say it often enough then people begin to believe that everything you say is true

There, sorted

The RS defending is poor so if Dour Dave goes back to KITAP1 we will be ok
