John Richards at Orient...

Careful now....

What was bad about it?

Robbie Fowler had plenty of tap ins. Lineker made a career out of it.

Three goals against nine men. Of which the keeper should have saved the second (practically dives backwards instead of at the ball) then he nearly fell over on the third. Missed several other easy chances. But yes some facetious hyperbole on my part otherwise.

Why? The perfect hat trick, one off his right knee, one off his left thigh and the other off the back of his head.

It was surreal... like waiting for a disaster to happen. His finish for the first was fine although he'd missed three or four other chances prior to that including an incredibly weak header. As you say, the second was close to the keeper while the third was incredible as he didn't seem to know what to do. The ball bounces away from him, he's unsure whether to pass and then fortunately for him and his confusion, the keeper is sold by the misstep and makes it easy for him.

We then have another chance at the end which he balloons way over the bar.

The thing that struck me was how much time he wants on the ball and how indecisive he is in front of goal. And that's Chelsea's main attacker in a game like this. Shocking.

King John... that's why.

Strange.

Memories of us *just* winning 1-0 vs 9 man Sunderland under Turner this

I watched that in the John Ireland with my Sad sat next to me. He was absolutely raging and has to use every ounce of willpower not to lose his shit as he was in the home end

I think that was Don Goldman’s Sunderland debut too.

Totally missed the game but wtf…?

Totally missed the game but wtf…?

That was basically how Spurs played the whole second half

 

[Johnny75]

Totally missed the game but wtf…?

It was amazing to watch.

They missed really good chances to bring it level to 2-2.

5 goals, 2 red cards, 5 disallowed goals and some breathtaking football. It was bonkers.

 

[Wolftone]

Totally missed the game but wtf…?

It kind of worked - for a bit anyway
Weird stuff.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Worst hat trick ever?

His first touch feels like it exists in a different reality.

Newcastle fan on BBC Twitter feed, yep the world against them

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They now can't finish above Dortmund unless they get something away at PSG, even if Dortmund lose the next two. Very poor tonight.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't care about Newcastle either way. But with UEFA restructuring how coefficients work it isn't in the interests of clubs like us who conceivably could try to finish in a European spot if two English clubs go out in the CL group stages, as currently seems more likely than not.

Aren't there even more places from next season anyway? CL up to 5 for English clubs

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

While I appreciate the coefficient issue, I am more than happy to live with it to see that club lose every game they play
