Thread to discuss all the PL games today. Manchester United a goal down to Newcaslte at home.
 
Watching Norwich v Chelsea,

Norwich pressing <ok>
 
Actually, Norwich v Chelsea is a bit ****. Might turn over and watch Utd v Newcastle
 
<laugh> Utd on the wrong end of a dodgy ref decision

Must be Christmas <cracker>
 
Hoping Toon win this game and run themselves ragged in the process <ok>
 
A win at Old Trafford will give them a massive confidence boost going into our game, though.
 
Watching the Newcastle game. As soon as I saw the United line up I thought Castle had a chance, that is a pretty weak United team. having said that, Newcastle look very physically strong, so we're going to have to cope with that.

I think Toon have been unfairly labeled as **** this season, but they've had a ton of injuries. They are starting to come back into it. I'm just hoping that they tire themselves out chasing the win at OT before we play them.

What did you make of the Evans OG ? Personally I thought it was offside as he was interfering with play. But I'm sure Utd fans will agree that these sorts of decisions even themselves out in the end <whistle>
 
Man Utd's bench is utter ****. This is Newcastle's big chance to claim a famous win at the swamp.

Well per the rules, the goal is legit. He wasn't really affecting Evans at all, and the Newcastle player was shooting the ball, it was never aimed for Cisse etc, it was a shot, and the shot came off Evans. United's initial reaction said it all, they weren't complaining at all. So I don't think it was unfair on them, he was in an offside position, but, not interfering in the play.
 
West Brom are beating QPR, if QPR lose this, then they are utterly useless. It will also put some more pressure on us, with Chelsea and West Brom winning, and possibly Everton, we will need to do our part on Saturday.
 
United can piss off if they want to complain about offside. They had one of the most blatant offside goals against Chelsea, and what was Hernandez' response when he was told? He didn't care and acted like it was nothing, so f--k them.
