[Percy McCarthy]

You've done it now rgarrad (checks spelling), it's one thing to take on the 'in crowd' but the Ace Face is on the case now.

Will I be onside if they are in the corner?

just follow lacking in class 80's- you should be about right together

That's some axe you seem to want to grind.

Why not just start a new thread calling out those you feel wronged by in the past 24 hours (based on your posting timeline) rather than derailing this one.

And by the way no, the Newcastle goal wasn't offside for what it's worth.

It most definitely was offside - Guzan was interfered with - if a player standing right in front of the goalkeeper is not interfering with play we might as well turn the lights off and go home

but Guzan was nowhere near enough to be interfering with play,check his position.

yes indeed they were interfering however played on by Hutton.

Anyway, back to the Barcodes. I didn't see the game so I couldn't comment on offsides or whether Rémi should have gone with six strikers at 1-1. Instead I have some H&V posts from the 24th May 2009 to remind us of our exemplary sporting attitude on that fine day of Association Football.

"Got any plans for the weekend?" "I want to see fat shirtless Geordie idiots with tears running down their man boobs"

"Oh my lads you should have seen them coming Big fat c***s in stripey shirts The barmy Geordie Nation All the lads and lasses They all had crying faces Gannin along to Villa Paaark To see the relegation"

It's moved on from your sister, somebody was interfering with Brad Guzan yesterday.

What, you mean they were having a Yank? Disgraceful.

Just a thought I had during yesterdays match. Was Carlos Sanchez having difficulties with seeing the play clearly through those goggles he is wearing to protect an injury. The rain was coming down in stainrods (ho ho) and it must have affected his vision to a certain extent.

Anyway their goal was Lescotts fault and Lescotts alone!

I thought exactly the same regards those stupid fkn goggles
they defo affected his play
get rid carlos they are not a fashion item you tosspot

those stupid fkn goggles helped him to participate in the game. I don't think he had them on because really he wanted to or as a fashion statement. He could have just told the manager he wasn't up to it with the injury but instead he opted for the stupid fkn goggles.

I think when the ball is kicked Hutton I level with the Newcastle players. 

On a separate note; the offside rule in general is fundamentally flawed now since an attacking player is required to be 'active' to be deemed offside (which I assume is your point about the Newcastle players who were around the box but didn't touch the ball) whereas a defender is always deemed active (in this case Hutton could do nothing about the goal but was adjudged to play the 3 Newcastle players onside who where in the way)

Nothing was really made of it at the time or after, but from where I was sat during the Arsenal game I saw that Giroud caught him with a nasty looking elbow in the face.  Hard to tell if it was deliberate, but it obviously caused some damage.

Funny that our last home game of the season is against them.  I accept it looks unlikely at the moment, but after all their whining, wouldn't it be lovely to send them down again that afternoon.

He was wearing something during the Arsenal game, before the Giroud incident. Isn't it protecting a smashed cheekbone picked up in training, I believe?

And, having managed to freeze the footage with the ball about six inches off Coloccini's foot, I'm gonna say "offside". And Lescott's bollock-dropping. A player of his experience shouldn't be distracted from his job so easily.
