@carld87 @FA_PGMOL @premierleague @SkySportsPL Memo not seen today for arsenal game. Seen 6 foul throws in the first 20 mins. Blatant too not subtle

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@OsmanZtheGooner Man City have had one chance and scored. We have controlled the game and just not quite had that final pass but have had some half chances. I bet you would be moaning if the score was 3-2 to us at half time for being too open and end to end.

@dylanwiliam @tombennett71 One thing I love about being in an international school is that we use national curriculum as guidelines but we have the flexibility to cover the needs of our students.

I admire the fact that ITV have made their on screen graphics in Powerpoint #FRAvWAL #SixNations2025

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@MartinSLewis Is he on strike today for the rugby? Graphics look like t was made last minute on PowerPoint

[Michael Andrews @mytentoryours]

Are the ITV graphics team on strike 🤣😬

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@mytentoryours I literally just saw it and came straight here thinking someone else must have noticed this!

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@OsmanZtheGooner Rb at CB, CM at RB. Partey will always offer up a couple of defensive mistakes which a DM should not let alone a RB.

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@dank381 @jamesbenge What the missed Ugarte headbutt? 😳

[Charles Watts @charles_watts]

That was a terrible, terrible performance. Never looked like getting back into the game. Outfought by Newcastle, who looked so comfortable. That's a really worrying performance, with two really tough away games to come. No creativity, no spark. Just totally flat and insipid.

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@FabrizioRomano That shit should get overturned on appeal. No way is that a clear obvious goal scoring opportunity still had 10 yards to catch up with the ball then had white exerting pressure and still 20 yards to get to the keeper!

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

Haha commentator for Newcastle vs Man City, You can see how hard the players have worked for Newcastle with the amount of cramp. Last week Arsenal were dirty fecking cheaters for cramp!!

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@DeputyGrocott We OK, best team in the league taking 50 odd mins to score 1 goal against 10 men. We have had worse days.

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@radical_referee @Arsenal @ManCity I have no complaint of the actual second yellow as that is a directive that they are clamping down on. It is just the consistency in approach. Just since the rice incident, I have noticed about 10 delaying restarts worse than rice completely unpunished.

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@DamoFather @talkSPORT No, they only seem to be enforced consistently against us

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@radical_referee @Arsenal @ManCity Don't you start! Same game Man City player kicked ball away Oliver did nothing saying that's where the fk was meant to be even though it was about 15 yards away from the actual infringement. Also from trossards reaction I'm not so sure he fully heard the whistle. CONSISTENCY!?

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@FootyAccums Calofori fault in first place left them exposed

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@FootyAccums Just to come back to this seen several incidents now since this happened where players have done far more to delay restart and not been punished at all. Lfc player on a card just now fouls a player then in frustration as losing punts the ball 30 yards and nothing! No consistency

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@FootyAccums I'm OK with it as long as that's the standard set and they will be consistent with it all year.... oh wait just 30mins earlier a Brighton player kicked it 20 yards away and nothing...

[Steven Wiggins @SteveWiggins87]

@refsupportuk Was it really spot on by the ref? I've heard prem refs talk about managing situations with common sense. Personally, if this is the standard set. Then I want to see it followed, but even in this game, it wasn't. Based on today it will be 5 yellows a game 4 moving the ball a yard
