Chelsea v Palace itll be more pressure on Potter if the Blues don't prevail in this one.

Toon v Fulham should be a good un this.

Then the big North London Derby, i fancy the Gunners.

[ElectroClaret]

Joelinton starts for Newcastle, wonder who he cadged a lift off to the ground?

[Conroysleftfoot]

Fulham looking alot stronger defensively than in previous PL seasons. Also not afraid to take the game to Newcastle.

[Carwin261]

Rob Jones must be the most arrogant ref going,marches up,and down like he’s a member of the gestapo.

[ElectroClaret]

Peno given for Fulham after VAR check on a foul by Trips. Pope booked .

Scored.

[Rileybobs]

Great pen by Mitrovic.

[RVclaret]

Great pen by Mitrovic.

Funny one that

[ElectroClaret]

What a f**k up.

[NottsClaret]

Not seen that for a while. Bizarre.

[RVclaret]

Mitro, as good as he’s been, has now missed 3 pens this season already!

[ElectroClaret]

Chelsea 1 Palace 0

Showing a few people on here up is Marco Silva

[Spindles]

never a pen, treads on Trippiers foot first - justice is done

Agree, though I thought it was a nailed pen (and possible red) a few seconds earlier with the shirt pull, bizarre

[Elizabeth]

Does anyone know if the ref hadn’t spotted the 2 touches on the penalty and given the goal, whether VAR could have reviewed it?

[chekhov]

On at least two occasions Newcastle guilty of clear dives. Is there no such thing as retrospective punishment these days?

Yes would have been reviewed by the var.

[Rileybobs]

Well that was inevitable…

[ElectroClaret]

Toon win it.

[Rileybobs]

Did that not come off Wilson’s arm?

[RVclaret]

Deserved win. Complete energy around the stadium now almost dragging goals into the net. Like us.

[taio]

Think this would mean 11 clean sheets from Newcastle and Pope and more than any other PL team. Newcastle fans must be delighted with Pope and what they paid for him. Howe has done a brilliant job there so far there.

Pope and Trippier been doing a brilliant job in my FPL too

And that's what I like about Pope. No messing. Ball comes anywhere near him and it's cleared without fuss.

Think they showed that he has the best save stats in the PL this season too.

[Elizabeth]

Thankfully not, otherwise it would have been another good goal ruled out contentiously by VAR

[bfcjg]

Be weird seeing Pope in a Newcastle strip at the Turf next season. ( fingers crossed )

[Vegas Claret]

also a reminder that later tonight is Real Madrid v Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final

[RVclaret]

Another Lloris error. What a poor goalkeeper he is.

[ElectroClaret]

Lloris strikes again...

[Spindles]

takes a little nick of the defender to deflect it, bit unlucky but he's definitely on the wain

[Vegas Claret]

he's absolute turd and has been for years, makes some quality saves occasionally but makes so many errors - another club that should have gone for Pope

[Colburn_Claret]

And people call Muric......

[chekhov]

Another Lloris error. What a poor goalkeeper he is.

Bit harsh. Clear deflection, and in super slo-mo looks bad but the ball came very fast. G. Neville not always right!

Sorry but an elite keeper has to be doing better. He makes so many errors. Spurs should have bought Pope, would be fine in Conte ball.

[ElectroClaret]

Deflection or not, it was poor keeping and yes, they should probably have gone for Pope.

[chekhov]

Great save btw!

[taio]

It was poor keeping. He's capable of some excellent things but he's far too inconsistent for the highest level.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Arsenal playing really well.

[ElectroClaret]

Cracking shot against the post.

[chekhov]

As an aside I’d say Martin Tyler is a worse commentator than Hugo Lloris is a goalkeeper.

[HiThere]

Arsenal 2-0.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Arsenal looking very classy

[ElectroClaret]

Arsenal strolling here.

[HiThere]

Arsenal strolling here.

Reckon they can win the title?

[Carwin261]

Spurs being Spursy ,reckon we would wipe the floor with them,Benson,& Zaroury would frighten them to death.

[Colburn_Claret]

Arsenal look light years ahead of Spuds.

[jedi_master]

The for Kane to ship out of this joke of a club. He’s too good for this lot and 30 this year, needs one last hurrah at a club he might win something with.

[ElectroClaret]

Reckon they can win the title?

Absolutely why not?
Particularly with City misfiring.

[chekhov]

Another aside: a player preventing a quick free kick by standing in front of the ball should get an automatic booking. Never happens.
