    The scream did it imo. When you go in like that these days, if you don’t get the ball you’re risking a red, not right imo, but it is what it is.

    I get what you're saying, but the ref shouldn't be influenced by that and a yellow would have been perfectly fine imo.

    A more experienced ref takes a breath and acknowledges Azpillicueta is being a big tart and settles for a yellow.

    If he gives a yellow, does VAR ask him to take another look at that? I reckon it’s a coin toss. A red should be for a truly reckless challenge that’s intended to hurt the opponent imo, but those days are gone.

    They’re always influenced by the yells btw mate, especially in the now empty stadiums.

    He's very good, absolute steal at £2m.

    He was going to AC Milan but failed the medical when they found out he spelled his name “Antonee”

    Unfortunately we need to stay up before the takeover will go through... Arbitration underway, but even if that's won they'll just wait it out to see if nufc is even a Premier league club before going ahead.

    Another scream from Azpilicueta after his missed header, surprised the ref never sent anyone off <yikes>

    The right decision would be change the red to yellow and give Azpo cheating **** a yellow himself in the same process.

    It looked bad but that's a yellow card tackle, surely.

    Definitely one that looked worse than it was.

    Matter of time before Chelsea score now.

    be okay, in the championship they will be better value.

    then Bruce will show how how genuine a top man he is by leading The Newcastle galacticos to the playoff final and getting one up in the 93rd minute.

    then mid table is the limit

    What price did you get on a 39th minute red?
