100% this

Does that make it 100,000% a penalty then?

[Viking Saint]

We are looking a bloody good side here. Knocking it around at will and almost toying with Newcastle. One more goal...

[BotleySaint]

Good football but its not quite happening for us this half. All a bit just out of reach. 

[Saint_clark]

Don't like the way this is shaping up. Last minute equaliser flashbacks. 

[trousers]

So many chances to increase our lead

[Saint_clark]

The refs getting more northern by the minute...

[trousers]

So, sweepstake on the Andy Carroll goal? I'll go for 76th minute

[Sheaf Saint]

We're so much better than Newcastle, it will be a travesty if we don't win this.

Cheeky insurance bet time I think.

[Mr X]

We are going drop points or worse here you simply can't miss this many chances 

[bpsaint]

Villa at home last season style squeaky bum finish?

[egg]

Djenepo looks to be struggling a bit. 

[Dorchester Saint]

This is shaping up for an Andy Carroll classic equaliser.....ffs Saints, score the second and were home and dry!!!

I think he's causing issues for them. Not helped that their right side can double up on him without fear of Stephens overlapping.

[BotleySaint]

The players have started to lose faith. So much possession but no end product must br frustrating. Going to allow Newcastle into the game..

[Saint_clark]

Fucking hell Armstrong...

 

[nta786]

Scary free kick

I’d put Redmond on for Djenepo

and then Long or any other striker for Walcott

[stknowle]

We're starting to tire. You can see where this is headed.

[Mr X]

We are starting to switch off again

Playing wise he's done well. He was holding his groin and for a while not moving too well. Looks fine now. 

[Saint_clark]

McCarthy way too far over to the right there. Lucky it hit the wall.

[Lighthouse]

Oh crap, I’d forgotten about Carroll.

Ditto. 

[Mr X]

Armstrong has been pretty dire overall

This on the subs, wall did its job on the fk. Murphy good on fks but not JWP 

[Saint_clark]

Exactly the same foul that he didn't give in the box.

[Lighthouse]

We’re getting sloppy here, playing ourselves into trouble needlessly.

[Viking Saint]

Bollocks, Carroll warning up

Carroll comes on, one cross, one elbow, one goal, one-all. 

 

How have we not scored???

[Lighthouse]

F**k me Armstrong!

[bpsaint]

Whyyyyy Armstrong why! For fuck sake take it on

[nta786]

Why didn’t Armstrong shoot?!?! It was on his right should have tried far post surely?

[stknowle]

Armstrong should have gone on his own

[bpsaint]

And how the hell is that not a pen?

[stknowle]

VAR doing a great job again. Clearly no foul there.

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh, Stu!

Just joining now. Was teaching 2-4 here.

 

[trousers]

Penalty all day long FFS? Took him out

[BotleySaint]

My word. VAR obviously asleep today..  utterly ridiculous 

[Sheaf Saint]

That's got to be a penalty, surely?

[Viking Saint]

That's a penalty all day long 

[adrian lord]

I hope we don’t end up rueing these missed chances

 

 

 

oh no Carrol is often our nemesis

[Plastic]

no pen? wtf?

[trousers]

Ref gives that as a foul to Saints all day long if that takes place outside the box

[Mr X]

That was a penalty

[Edmonton Saint]

Armstrong’s decision making and final ball is frustrating 

[HKsaint]

Can Armstrong give a better pass?

[Mr X]

Get Armstrong off 

[Wsaint]

Armstrong needs to come off, seems knackered and zero threat the last 10 mins

 

I take it all back, yes stuey!

Nonsense

[Sheaf Saint]

Even if you accept that he played the ball before taking Walcott out, he handled it when he went to ground. It's a fucking penalty!

[OttawaSaint]

So close with another through ball. Need to get that 2nd.
