There hasn't been an extended loan window for years.

William Osula from Newcastle has offer of £28.5million from Frankfurt!!!! 22 year old striker with 4 professional goals!!!!!

That's only 4 more goals than me!!!!

He's scored 11 goals but I suppose the point still stands.

I suspect there are more penalties. In the old rules, refs were only supposed to give penalties when they were sure. Now, they give them willy-nilly, and VAR adds a few more You could have easily checked whether there have been more penalties you know. There has been a small increase but nowhere ne...

Tall Paul

Some very balanced and fair minded comments on here. I accept the offside was the correct decision in that the goal was disallowed in real time and that was ‘probably’ the right decision. The penalty was not the right decision. VAR should only get involved when there is a clear and obvious error. I...

Tall Paul

The difference between the 2 is that for the first one he thought it was a penalty from his angle because he could not see that Mount was actually fouling Walker whereas on the second one he had a perfectly good view and decided that it did not warrant a foul. I do not believe for one second that h...

Tall Paul

I agree with Parker in that we’re no longer looking to favour goals being scored. We’ve got a system now designed to find reasons (however small and fractional) to deny goals. If the rules that denied Foster and Fulham yesterday were correctly applied, then in my opinion the rules need reviewing. Y...

Tall Paul

A newspaper, maybe The Times, had said that Anthony released the shirt before his hand got into the box, but due to the stretched shirt the player was being fouled while HE was in the box (obviously that cannot happen with a tackle). I assume that is why the review took so long. Whether that should...

Tall Paul

It would but he was clearly guessing (as it was so marginal he should be keeping his flag down) as was the ref when he gave the first half penalty and when he gave the free kick for the first goal. The lino gave another dodgy offside when we were on top to curtail a second half attack and impact mo...

Tall Paul

Yeah, Chelsea v Fulham was bad.

Tall Paul

If there was no VAR the two penalty decisions would cancel each other out and the offside would still have been given.

Then Match of the Day would analyse it in minute detail and everyone would be calling for VAR.

The rules are to be interpreted in a way that incorporates common sense though no?

Rules or not, can anybody seriously tell me that the same decision would have been given down the opposite end of the field?

Yes.

We literally have an example of a VAR decision in our favour in the first half

Tall Paul

It's Fosters right foot that is offside

Tall Paul

VAR got all the decisions right unfortunately.

Hard to argue it's biased against us when they could have easily not overturned the penalty in the first half

Tall Paul

It was a penalty unfortunately. Crazy thing to do Anthony.

Funnily enough, I’m in a restaurant in Lisbon right now and I’ve just asked the waiter for his opinion. I quote word for word and he said “he’s absolutely dog egg”

Is that good or bad?

I wonder how an increase of 2% will affect corporations and businesses and what effect that will have on inflation. Perhaps they will not pass that increase onto consumers.

The guy reporting is followed by Romano, Ornstein, McGrath, Kay, Plettenberg etc so he's clearly legit. That would be peak Marinakis.

But Marinakis has no control at Forest, it can't be anything to do with him.

Tall Paul

Won't play for us again. Parker couldn't make use of him in the Championship and has essentially told him he doesn't want him in the Premier League. All this is is trying to boost the fee we'll get for him since we've managed to turn him from a £20m player to one we wouldn't get half that for in th...

A 20yr old on the verge of a full Italian cap should be developed by us.I thought this was supposed to be SPs area of expertise .

What if sending him out on loan is part of his development?

Tall Paul

Save that it makes isak look like a petulant child kicking his feet because he can't get sweets without saying please. He was happy enough taking money from a pretty good contract when he was injured. Liverpool have played the usual real madrid card of having the press in their back pocket. The guy...

I stand to be corrected but I think we have beaten Everton more times than any other Premier League team.

I doubt that. Liverpool, for example, have beaten them loads of times.

How is that rubbish? Ekdal, Sonne, Laurent and Foster were backup last season in the Championship, now they’re starting.

A ridiculously woeful lineup.

They're still backup though aren't they? But the players they're backup to aren't fit/ready yet.

No agenda. Just questioning how it can be claimed that we are better placed this season because we have a manager who "understands how to set up in the Premier League" when that is his record. Is that an unreasonable question?

It's not unreasonable at all.

I don't think Pope will want to leave Newcastle before tasting Champions League football. I'd still pick him before Ramsdale, who to my mind has suffered a loss of confidence.

He has already played Champions League football for them.
