I said a bit, I think if we missed the quality of chance that they did such as Rashford and Fernandes I’d be feeling like we should have won so by the same token on the other side I feel we we slightly fortunate to get away with a few. Doesn’t mean I don’t think we played quite well for the most part which we did but they should have won that and to not see that seems a bit biased to me. I call it how I see it. And possession doesn’t win games, creating great chances and of course taking them does.
Fernandes should have been off though for sure.

Off for what? He didn’t make a single dirty challenge. Blocked a free kick which is a yellow but nothing else. Are players supposed to be booked for every foul these days?

Their first goal had a degree of good fortune and you could argue that Fernandez should have been shown a second yellow before he scored... Kasper did what he is paid for ... Rashford didn't with that first chance ... Paul Scholes just saying that a draw was a fair result ...

A build up of snide kick outs and fouls on a booking already

Afternoon all and merry xmas.

What's the consensus on Boxing Day boozing ?

Now 20 plus years ago this wouldn't be up for debate as I'd already be down the pub and the beers would be well and truly flowing. These days I have to pace myself so I'm thinking about 5-30ish and then steady away from there.

Gonna watch Fulham and hope for a Saints but the beers are chilling <cheers>

I'm sure we'll disappoint. Missing our spine and ex manager curse too.

Just opened a can.

Calling it snide doesn’t make it a dirty foul, that’s your opinion. It was just fouls. That’s what free kicks are given for. If he’d went studs up and got away with it I’d buy this but it’s just drivel mate, sorry.

Ok balance of play wise I do agree, I just would be majorly pissed if we had missed those 3 chances particularly that they did and that to me seems a tad fortunate. It’s not like I have said we played **** and should have got battered...

I've said this a fair few times in the past. I never get why fans are so intent on having players being sent off. Like somehow that's important to your game?

I think it’s a case of we know what would have happened had that been one of ours..

Do you think so? Mike Dean is a bit of a card happy **** (moreso against us in the past decade) so you may be right.

Btw if it was one of yours I'd feel exactly the same.
 
If Maddison got sent off for blocking a free kick and giving 2/3 nothing fouls away, you lot would be crying big club bias. Draw was a fair result, we didn’t turn up, created in fits and starts, got two goals but didn’t deserve 3 points. Move on.

Maddison doesn't leave his foot in like Fernandez does ... and if he got himself sent off for doing so I 'd be the first to call him a twat ...

About it being part of the game?

No, when fans feel they needed that to get a result. Almost as if they can't do it against 11 men.

Unless a player's gone in to cause someone real harm, I've never given a fck if the oppo player isn't sent off.
