Classic Roma, beat Juventus and then win easy in the Europa.

Losing against Serie A nobodies.

I still remember dirty leeds of the 70's, different tune then, we've all turned into a bunch of crying pussies todays.

Yep. Agree. The physical side of the game has been removed.

It's probably a **** idea but the way yellows are thrown around nowadays I think 2 yellows should be some kind of sin bin.

They put that game on the same time as Toon, otherwise I would have watched it. Jose had chance of going 3rd today after yesterdays results.

I don't think it was obvious either way from what I've seen (only just seen it in pictures so possibly looked different in video). Think there's been more inconsistency this season than the norm as they've been trying to tweak the rules (when VAR gets involves etc) as the season progresses. It's probably correct to try and evolve the process but it is frustrating as it adds to the issues of consistency and still seems a touch vague when it gets used and when it doesn't. As fans we're always likely to notice the ones that go for us and not the ones against, early in the season it felt like we were getting shafted on a weekly basis but I can't think of anything since Christmas, which probably means we've been getting the rub of the green (like the Pope incident earlier in this match).

The problem is, they call the referee over who then watches it in slow motion. Which always looks worse.

It didn't happen in slow motion, it happened in real time during a game of football and wasn't deliberate or malicious.

I wouldn't mind if they got them right, or they were even slightly consistent. They don't though, ever.

This doesn't happen in anywhere other than the premier league, in Europe they have a quick look in real time (which football is actually played in) and get the **** on with it.

He'll be livid.

They're not the best side in truth, them sitting 3rd would be a fantastic result for him

Not convinced Mourinho has it in him any more. Once you've gone Spursy I'm not sure there's any way back, it's like a public admission that you've given up trying to win things.
 
Looks like Roma just got one back. I think it was Sassuolo that threw away a two goal lead the other day.

Oof. Sounds a good game

Wish they were on at different times.

If it's 2-2 HT, Roma gonna be out for blood

The idiots have put Juventus as the late game, which is a nothing game against Sampdoria (in comparison).
 
No Gordon today for Newcastle. Hits out at Everton in the week, so big Everton fan Howe keeps him out.

true story.
