That's a dive Tom Daley would have been proud of. How he got that is just ridiculous.
It is beginning to look like the game is bent.

Absolutely acceptable result.

These wankers are our kryptonite, I'd have snapped your hand off for a draw before kick off. Other results have gone our way, as well.

Apart from the 20 minutes or so of the second half,  I think we generally controlled the game without really pushing on. I think we were maybe too concerned because of what had happened the last few times against them. 

I didn't see us facing any great tactical conundrum,  but a point is ok. We've just been used to winning a lot.

Christ, that'a terrible.  They should add that to the list of charges.

That wasn't the ref though initially, VAR sent him to the screen. He should have stuck with his original decision if he had any bottle.

Wanted a win. Expected nothing.

An away point is always useful.

I think thats it. Some are used to us getting a goal then getting a second, then wayho, another three points. It's not always going to be like that sadly.

First half, I thought we controlled it. Second half, we let them back into it but we still could have won it. We've done that a few times, not been quite at it but getting the win. Tonight, it didnt happen but that's ok.

First hand ball shout. Bloke comes towards the ball with both hands out and around his neck. VAR = "Natural position". Second one from Cash was closer to natural for me.

No Tielemans penalty shown. MOTD just used it as an excuse to have ago at how we are "dropping off".

Ollie butchered those first two chances really. Awful touch for the first. Fine header yet again though, unfortunate it didn't get the winner. They had a few clearcut chances too though going on the highlights. Super save by Martinez. Bizot looks very small to be a PL keeper.

Keanes sending off is utterly ridiculous as well.  This game has gone to the dogs

I learned at the women’s Euros in the summer that is a straight red. Seems Keane and Moyes didn’t know that.

No sympathy for him at all, he should know that's a straight red these days.

Yanking someone's ponytail is just stupid. First time I've ever seen it happen. Keane will be suspended for our game against them, I assume, will Grealish too?

I doubt Grealish will be. Won't it be a one game suspension for 2 yellows?

It will, just thought it might count in the league and not the FA Cup game before but I guess not.
