No surprise they're bemoaning the win last night. A slip being rewarded with a free kick. Numerous stone wall pens for Brighton turned down, despite VAR seeing them and determining they were soft. The one on Pedro from Gvardiol was a lightweight version of the Longstaff claim against Palace this week, which also wasn't given.

Alan Smith was doing his absolute utmost to get VAR to give them as well, going on and on about them and getting replay after replay! If it was the dippers with spitty or rags with GNIAC they'd say "nah" and you'd never see it again.

The one with Rodri was a bit soft and it looked like he just decided to fall over when he felt it, tbh. Stupid from Rodri to risk it, though. The Gvardiol one, they were both running for the ball and Pedro had to run behind it, and therefore in front of Gvardiol, to get a shot away. Not sure what else either player could have done in that situation, tbh. Seen them given, now seen them not given. Couldn't really complain either way, I suppose. Depends how the referee sees it, I guess.

The Foden one was strange. Didn't think it was a free-kick at the time and haven't really seen anything to change my mind unless there was something that hasn't been shown anywhere on video. The referee had a good think about it before he gave the free-kick. I bet he was hoping it wouldn't go in. Shame :)

I like Gillett, btw, he seems sound.

Did he accuse Chelsea of rolling over on Tuesday?

It's funny you should ask that question but no he didn't. Funny that . I also remember that when Brighton were beaten 3 nil the other week by Arsenal they didnt roll over then but Arsenal were ruthless. Also funny.

Martin who?

On the Foden one, a Brighton player (15 - Moder) goes for his heel a couple of yards back, he then slips on the edge of the area, maybe the ref was trying to play the advantage and gave the free kick when he realised there wasn't one.

I hope Tottenham rip them a new one and then lie down when they play us. The piss boiling will be off the scale with Neanderthal Man Keown :-) I might not stop laughing until August.

But we all know it'll be the other way round.

Planet of the apes wasn't too happy about last night's result

Just watched that on YouTube. He came across as very, very bitter. I know Talkshite will love the clocks but he was really disrespectful towards Brighton. Massive twat.

You have posted a link that will further generate income for them, so Keown has done exactly what his bosses ask him to do, create noise, controversy and clicks.

Who cares?

This has been going on for as long as I can remember - too long. Any Blue is doing his or herself a huge disservice by listening to it because its sole purpose is to anger you.
They have no intention of discussing football in a mature and adult way, I believe they actively avoid on-line discussions because they know the average fan on the street is more knowledgable about the sport and would almost certainly tie the blinkered gutter press members up in knots.

It's tabloid fodder, nothing more. Rise above it. Elvis isn't really alive and well and living on the moon.

Learnt my lesson...took me two goes - first was a shock with that d*ck Jordan spouting nonsense. he tries to shoe-horn in 'big words' and that led him to even making a couple up words even....''priceability?''

i think he did try and play advantage as Foden genuinely tried to stay on his feet. i think pep thinks he should go down there, example of slowing down, I read it that way, as well as he should slowly get used to conserving more energy. When you want to be in a game a lot you can suffer from chasing around a bit to always try and be available, but top, players just pull back a bit. Messi did this load of times...walk, walk look disinterested, opportune moment bang, he's gone and it's a goal.
