Jose won't comment on the penalty and says if he wants to give some money away, he will give to charity and not the FA. He says the Sp**s box is a special box
Jose gets horny whenever he sees his team defend well. He’s obsessed with defending.
Jose says that Sp**s are a big club but say their history in terms of trophies is not as big as other clubs. He now realises the difference between clubs with a big history and others. To summarise, Sp**s are a small club . It was an awful pen but I'm delighted Dier conceded it. Sit down fella.

If united didn't get that last minute penalty this would be the perfect weekend for us with Liverpool away being our game.
But they lost their first game so its fine. Should go into the international break at least 3-6 points ahead of our rivals for top 4 which you cant really be unhappy at.

Decision was scandalous but really they have no one to blame but themselves.
Newcastle should’ve been buried by half time. They’re in trouble as soon as Son or Kane aren’t on the pitch.

They defended well until they didn't
Handball is so interesting, cos it goes to the crux of what football's about. It's a game where you have to try to get the ball in the net and the main rule is that you can't use your arms or hands to achieve that.
The new rule is sort of logical in that if the ball touches the arm anywhere on the pitch, even accidentally, it's a foul. So the rule is just extended to the penalty box too.
But it conflicts massively with what a penalty is about. Scoring a goal is very difficult, it's why football is such a low-scoring sport. A lot of work and energy and money goes into the art of scoring goals. So to give a penalty - to give a near certain opportunity for a goal - should be for a proportionate offence, it should be for something the attacking team has earned. An accidental handball isn't proportionate, nor is it earned.

Yes nobody will take you seriously if you win nothing even in our struggling rebuilding era still managed to 4 trophies in 6 years.

30 pages of crying on the Sp**s forum..
The new penalty rules are weird tbh. I happen to think that the Michael Oliver/Gabriel handball was the only correct decision.

Sp**s forum must be lovely stuff right now. Thing is its not just them, the new rule is a bit ridiculous for everyone.
The thing is you can look at it in different ways. Dier's arm was in a completely unnatural position. But on the other hand (pardon the pun) he doesnt have a clue whats going on.
If you go the other way with the rule you have to give only hand balls that are done on purpose, and I'd say 90% of them aren't done on purpose.
It needs tweaking, they need to take into consideration other things. For example Everton vs Palace, Richarlison would've been offside if the ball went through? Therefore shouldn't be a pen.

Good that they dropped two points but the rule is just idiotic, methinks. We're gonna see lots of matches ruined by absurd pens.

...but what I will laugh at is the sp*rs manager calling out his own club in a post-match interview for having no history. That's great stuff

Who do we want to win here? Leicester or City?
I think a City win suits us more if Leicester are to be top 4 challengers again.
City scores, what a goal by Mahrez!
