Definitely a foul out of frustration, but I don't know that it was yellow card worthy. Bruno backed his butt into it

another ball on the pitch is reason to stop the play? really? huh my experience is otherwise

I think the yellow was for the foul and the confrontational attitude after the foul as opposed to just the foul.

If he just gets up and jogs off, he likely doesn't get carded.

If it wasn't already over (it was), bringing Sterling on is waving the white flag

Great assist by Raya tbh. Put the scorer one on one with the keeper.

And here come the mocking posts





I’m sure the reactions will be completely normal

I expect PGMOL to arrest Gordon and relegate Newcastle to the conference league for this - there's no mocking allowed in this sport.

Hasn’t this always been an auto whistle?

no point getting into details as i dont in fact recall them, but suffice to say there's a perturbing amount of inconsistency in it

Technically referees have discretion if they feel the second ball is not going to interfere with play. Realistically it's only ever used if there's a clear scoring chance for one team and the second ball is way away from everything.

I don't recall the circumstances from the game yesterday to comment on how it fits in with that.

Arsenal bring it on themselves.

If you want to talk big you have to back it up. Not get utterly trounced on.
Havertz best opportunities were crumbling to the ground hoping for a call.
Really awful stuff...

FYI - my post was sarcasm, because the FA has decided to start cracking down on mocking celebrations after MLS did the Haaland celebration over the weekend, even though they were completely fine with it before Arsenal did it.

I am fine with Newcastle mocking us. They deservingly beat us in both legs.

How can they crack down on celebrations?
Foden mimicks firing a gun which is bizarre to me (sniper inference ?)
I can see that or those types of celebrations with violence... (throat slicing, etc) getting phased out...
But copying haaland? who can claim those as theirs anyway?
Granit Xaha (spelling) was always good at mocking celebrations.... some are funny....

Danso gets to start, Tel on the bench. Porro also notably on the bench.

Lineup is good, bench is great. Nothing less than a win will do.
