That's a fair point. Add on 30 seconds for the March goal, where did 1min 30s come from?!?

Potter just said the same thing. He thought they had scored with the last kick of the game and has no idea where the added time came from. "You will have to ask the ref"

 

[paxtonwolf]

In any other circumstance you'd be happy your next opponent apparently have spent their good luck, but as it's United I fully expect us to be in Brighton's shoes in a week.

Well we need to score at least 2 to win because they will a get a penalty nailed on. So we are as good as 1-0 down before we start

So Fergie time extends beyond the final whistle now.

3 mins extra it seems

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Crazy. Totally crazy.

that is never a pen at Palace.

 

[Denmark Spur]

These handball rules are killing football.

Try and look at the one given against Ward in the Palace - Everton game right now.

And the one given against Doherty in our game last week.

 

[DubSpur]

Can't even use your arms for balance anymore, need to have them glued to your sides. Every week so far there has been a ridiculous handball given for a pen

what is the defender supposed to do there? It’s headed at him from 2 yards away, arm on a normal position. Madness.

Two words. Manchester United

There is a new rule that refs cannot blow the final whistle before United are awarded a penalty.

Ah that explains the VAR decision. The ref had clearly blown the whistle, so there must have been a penalty beforehand.

The fact that Fergie time is still a thing, total disgrace.

 

[nayenezgani]

Andros Townsend's hair regrowth has to be the biggest cinderella football story of modern times..... Looks utterly fudging stupid. Just shave it off mate.

 

[nayenezgani]

Kouyate is a central defender now? Has Woy weinvented him? Doesn't look out of place at all.

 

[nayenezgani]

Alan and Doucoure have brought so much guile and solidity to the Everton midfield. Both look really good. James still looking like a bloody steal too.

 

[nayenezgani]

Eze looks fudging good too.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

So how is that one not a pen then??

Apparently hitting body first, onto hand means no pen.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Anyone know who the guy is with the red trousers on BT sport sat next to Sutton?

 

[Robbo]

Chelski one down. They will of course turn it around by some satanic luck, but one can always hope.

In all fairness that Chelsea side should not need any luck to get a result here, packed with quality and by rights should not lose tonight, but, I suppose this is why we love the game, you just never know on the day
