"Today four people were not able to decide because the line was, I don't know, but the second goal that Newcastle scored the line was perfect. I'm not suspicious of that in 10 years. I didn't say anything when we lost 2-1 here."
"I didn't say anything in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace when it was a red card after 30 minutes for Henderson," he said. "Did I say anything? No. It's OK. It's fine.
