Newcastle 3-0 Fulham - 16 Dec

[Coast94]

Meh. Bad day at the office with 10 men against 12 at a tough ground. Regroup and beat Burnley, and things will look rosey again.

[Brawn]

Match abandoned at Bournemouth.

Wonder how much the ref got in his brown envelope from the Saudi royal family for this game

[MisfitKid]

someone needs to remind this ref that football is a physical game...

WTF was this goal.

The commentators are delighted

P.S.We got yellow cards for almost every foul we made. Newcastle on the other hand probably need to break a leg of one of our players to get carded.

I looked before the game at the refs stats. Interestingly he made his PL debut at Fulham-Sheffield and everyone was thrilled for him. In his stats though he shows a pretty major home bias. Almost universally, he gives out more yellows and penalties against the away team.

I sure didn't see a yellow on BDR with that little bump.....terrible call, IMHO....

[SerbianLad]

I don't know who annoys me more, the referee or commentators...

Match abandoned at Bournemouth.

just searched and its the second time he's collapsed on the field

[Drewry66]

The annoying thing is that we've defended very well. Leno apart from the goals has only had to make a couple of good saves. Both the first two goals incredibly luck breaks for them through challenges. Just gutting to get a red so early when we were on such good form.

[WindyCity]

I don't know who annoys me more, the referee or commentators...

Agreed.  The commentators on the Peacock feed have been brutal....Newcastle homers for sure....

Seems I made the correct decision not to watch. Red cards completely destroy games, so always feel like a waste of time. The blame falls on Jimenez for that, but I wish there was another way.

[Sgt Fulham]

Wow, Palace equalise from 2 down at the Etihad!

[WindyCity]

Palace just tied City late.   Not much time left

[SP]

Glad the league isn't a one horse race this season

[ron]

Bring Jimenez out to thank the FFC fans for making the trip to the North East...

Great. Our day gets even better

[SP]

Kicking off at Leeds.

There is - a sin bin aka Rugby. As in this case, 15 mins off the pitch or even 20 would have been a more appropriate penalty. Of course, the Premier League grandees will never accept that anyone knows better than they do.

[SP]

What could've been......

[LittleErn]

Use it to come back strong next game.
