If they would have played on and haaland would have turned towards goal, chances are he would have picked the ball up, kissed it and threw it to Marmoush.Martin Samuel…
Henderson had come too far, to the edge of his area, but the ball hadn’t kicked on as expected. Now he was stranded, unable to handle, out of position, Haaland about to nick the ball around him. Panicking he swung an arm and wafted the ball away to his left, Haaland now without opportunity, danger momentarily averted. Attwell, of course, did nothing. His VAR, Michael Salisbury, sprung into action at the next break in play. Maybe the VAR’s VAR, Jarred Gillett, had a shufti too. They might as well have asked Curly, Larry and Moe. All came to the conclusion that Attwell’s initial mistake was spot-on.
And then, as is the fashion for Howard Webb’s PGMOL, it was time to light the gas.
The evidence before you is wrong. Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, not around my eyes, 1-2-3, you’re back in the room. You didn’t see a deliberate handball to prevent a goalscoring opportunity. The player with 275 goals in 339 club matches – plus 40 in 41 internationals – was never going to score from there. He was running away from goal, not towards it. He would have had to hit a shot marginally across his body. He never does that. No player does. It’s impossible. How could anyone consider such a thing?
“The direction in which Erling Haaland was going made it a possible, but not an obvious goal scoring opportunity,” said Professional Gaslighting Match Officials Ltd. Obvious? What’s obvious got to do with it? Who decides obviousness? Could Haaland have scored? Sounds like a yes. Was it handball? Definitely. Then it’s a red card.
Not that there would have been anyone beyond the sky blue corner who wanted Palace’s goalkeeper sent off, but we do like to see the rules applied competently, even if it doesn’t suit our desires. And neutrals can feel dispassionate about this outcome because we all wanted Palace to lift their first trophy; but for those who were part of City’s contingent, to see the player that shouldn’t even have been on the field then save your team’s penalty – and make some other outstanding saves – must have sucked.
Struggling to listen to him any more.Cheesy goes full on Partridge at one point in this week’s pod.
He’s got Earl Barrett on and at one points he says now Earl I know a lot of our listeners will be interested to learn what you’re doing with yourself these days. So Earl proceeds to tell us about his time in Houston managing various teams and his career progression until Cheesy abruptly interrupts him to say he’s got a good joke about Houston and then trots out a stale old “Houston we have a problem” joke.
Comedy gold
Once a rag twat always a rag twat.Henderson on itv now, they're all going on about what a hero he was. Not one mention of the handball the cheating twat.

Suarez one wasn’t too bad against Ghana. I noticed that Uruguay were playing Ghana a couple of years ago and the main story was the handball from 2010. I’d imagine that Henderson will be front and centre when we next play Palace. Or maybe not…There are 2 handballs that stand out to me which was the obvious hand of god and that abomination by Henry that prevented the Irish going to the world cup.

to be a good loser, you have to have practice, we are a little short of fitness in that dept...Just made the mistake of putting TalkSPORT on to gauge their reaction ( I know, I know) and according to Troy Deeney, we’re just bad losers.

Was I sat next to you in 506 or are there more of the moaning bastards? The one behind me didn’t pause for fucking breath for the entire game!The man behind us at Wembley was just a pain in the backside. Moaned all match. Has no idea how to support the team. Everything was “what’s the f****** point”.
There was absolutely no “point” in him being a supporter. Hope he never goes to one of our matches again.
