Crystal Palace 1, Totteringham 0.

Arsenal 2, Liverpool 2. Arsenal robbed of a third goal at the end by the referee when he deemed jumping to head the ball goalwards a foul.

VVD won challenges like that all game in the defensive half. No consistency in his decision making, nor the VAR. Goal should have counted

:lol: excellent decision, much better than Van de Ven's decision to try and control the ball with the forward in his face, just lump the bloody thing up in the air and reset.

Well it finally led to ETH departing, most United fans will be happy I think.

Damn. How many shots just on the wrong side of the post or point-blank shots blocked?

Lucky lucky Newcastle!

Caught the amazing end to the Fulham versus Brentford game at Craven Cottage when Fulham scored 2 amazing goals in stoppage time to win 2-1.

(As an aside, it looked like nothing has changed grandstands-wise in that stadium since Australia famously beat England 3-1 with goals by Popovich, Kewell & Emerton playing against famous EPL names like Beckham, Scholes, Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell and Owen.
My daughter and son-in-law were working in London at the time and were in the large contingent of Aussies in the capacity crowd who drowned out the English supporters’ chants).

:lol: What are you talking about? Where the camera sits is the brand new two tier Riverside grandstand overlooking the river.

As for Wilson's goals, the first one he waved a foot at and had no idea where it was going and the second, despite the commentator saying it was a great header, actually hit his shoulder.

Nah Cyril, I’m talking about the original low Stevenage Road Stand (renamed the Johnny Haines Stand). It was built in 1905. When the camera pans up you can see the central gable bearing the name Fulham Football Club. I concede about the new whole Riverside Stand that opened this year.

Watching it live, the stoppage time was very exciting for their fans. Yes, he flicked at it with his foot to loop up and they all count when they go in. Re the second one, watch again - he was aiming for the near post, and header or off the shoulder, it also went in.

ps The Bourne Identity, Friendly or not, do you really think Beckham and all those other EPL stars weren’t competitive? They pleaded to not be substituted so they could show Kewell and those upstarts from Down Under what’s what.

Assuming you mean Johnny Haynes, what is known to the fans as the 'Family Stand'. I think it might be protected, certainly the facade where the turnstiles and shop are located is and the actual Cottage obviously is.
