Good evening.
This just in from one Edith Scrunge, a part time domestic who does a number of public toilets in Stoke City centre and occasionally agency work which tonight happens to include the city’s flagship branch, the Britannia stadium.
Exclusively Edith told HH this evening, ‘ I don’t normally like to interfere, but my Ray – our eldest – said if I was to tell you about what I found, I could possibly get £30,000 tax free cash off you.’
What started off as an innocent item of lost property has now spiraled into being a key exhibit in what football fans are calling, ‘a full on investigation into a proper diabolical liberty.’
the adebayor offside was the tough one,there player was lying by the goal post and got up onto the pitch,how did the linesman not see that,it is real amateur stuff
the major leagues in football really need to have a look at how we ref football,it is so outdated now a bit like the BBC,we love it but know it has to come to an end
we were on the rack for the first half and never got started but for an away team 2-0 down we absolutely battered them in the 2nd half.2 great saves from the keeper and 4 decisions regarding pens and disallowing a good goal.+sending off a player for a touch not a tackle when the geezer was offside and playing for Kaboul to get sent off.
foy is an absolute disgrace and should be banned from the lane or any more of our games.
Can you imagine whinger or bacon face if that happened to them, but then it never would would it.
hope our dreams havent gone down the toilet
Oh come on. It’s one game.
For those who normally slate ‘Arry’s supposed tactical naïveté – switching to 5-3-2 for the second half seemed to work pretty damned well. Was a bold move and he deserves credit for seeing what would work.
You could say he set up wrong at the outset (TMWNN will no doubt say Sandro should have started), but I don’t think anyone was loudly calling for changes to the eleven who have won us so many points recently before the game. And you can’t blame Aitch for us conceding two (softish) set pieces in the first half.
Foy and the linesmen aside what annoyed me was a few times Adebeyor being outmuscled and then looking disinterested in winning it back. Also the fact that Foy was pretty consistent in that he was allowing all the physical Stoke stuff to go unpunished. Our players needed to realise that earlier and start doing the same, putting themselves about a bit more, especially in midfield. With 3 subs made I am suprised one of them wasn’t Sandro. Still, life isn’t always fair and you have to put it behind you. We’re playing well enough for top four so bring on the next game….
:daumen:
We knew what to expect and completely failed to counter it. Poor preparation, regardless of the idiot ref.
Going 3 at the back was a good idea, but both Defoe and Gio up against those bruisers, really?
i,d hardly blame gio, for his poor 5mins, he should have come on a lot earlier, vdv was blatantly not fit
Sandro should have started. :finn:
Yep, i thought he would. we needed someone to give 3MP a bruiser so he would disappear but no one was around to do it. And to tread on Delaps hand!
