Supermac predicted a 1-0 win for Newcastle United before hurrying off to the match…Well, as far as weekends / Sundays in general go, the one just passed was a mixed bag.

So not the best of starts to the football side of things but hey ho, you can’t win them all. Moving on to the 3pm games and both halves of Merseyside were dispatched with Liverpool’s defeat aiding our cause somewhat. The more top teams that are crowded out of the race for Europe the better. I watched the Brentford / Bournemouth clash reasonably, pleased with the days events, provided we did the business against Fulham the following day.

The rest of the half played out in much the same way as it began and it became clear he wasn’t coming back out for the second half. I have to admit, I feared it was a metatarsal injury, although a still image doing the rounds suggested a nasty strain or even ligament damage. The footage of our star man in a protective boot at the end didn’t ease my fears.

Now, I like many others have a love / hate relationship with VAR. The technology is fine but the people looking at it most certainly are not. The big screen flashed up and to the shock of everyone the Trippier “foul” was being reviewed. Now I’m not going to call the referee incompetent, nor am I going to call the muppets at Stocksley Park a joke, but if you can look at that incident and award a penalty then you really must question why we have VAR at all when.

And that was that. Added time came and went and passed without incident and another three points were harvested. You can’t say we didn’t deserve it, the stats more than back it up. Not a single Fulham shot on target all game against the best defence in the league.
