Good morning.
Well all eyes on our Europa strategy now paying dividends then. Stoke, if one casts a steely eye upon the Barclay’s Premier League table sit 11 points behind us in 10th. A win should not be a foregone conclusion, but we have to be favourites.
We’re playing some football that’s very easy on the eye. And for adrenalin junkies and TV producers looking for highlight clips even our failed attempts on goal are good viewing.
There was I am told, some some last minute medicals yesterday. What this means I can’t tell you because I don’t know. But I suspect that King isn’t playing or we would have been told that he was. I’ll also have a guess that van der Vaart will at least be on the bench. His injury scares aren’t scaring me any more. I get the feeling he winces more often than I make typos.
Prediction? Azza will be sporting gloves is worse than even money.
If the team takes it’s lead from Pathe News Boy & Manu we’ll brave a bit of drizzle and a chill in the air and win by one, maybe even two. I’ll have a tickle at 0-2.
BIOYSC!
handball and not offside,thats why you need a proper refs team in the ground with replays telling the ref,it should have been a goal twice
guesswork and chance are not enough these days,correct decisions are
Well done Tony Pullis and Stoke, you wanted it more than us.
Sadly we never lived up to the hype, Ade didn`t arrive,Baler was half pace, Lennon no input and we missed the king so much, VDV where was the cutting edge. We looked like a tired team but it`s not a disaster just a setback and possibly a reality check.
Hey we`re still 3rd and capable of much better, let`s learn from this.
Harry out.
And what do they propose to do to help these incompetents who ruin games week in week out? Goalf*ckinglinef*ckingtechnology!
As I’ve said before: goal line incidents per season- between nil and one; utterly wrong penalty area decisions- at least one per gaame.
The game is managed by clowns and officiated by idiots.
Great effort from the boys today. Forget it and move on.
the refs need a total revamp in football,people might not want it like what it will mean but it is now necessary
people like blatter that say it should be the same in the park on a sunday afternoon as it is at old trafford or the lane are completely bonkers
i agree, i would normally be the first to criticize if we had been under par we were done by a bent ref simple as absolute disgrace
i don’t think he is a bent ref,i think refs can’t physically do the job on their own and linesman guess on decisions,they are never sure
it is a ridiculous position to be in for the biggest game on the planet
No fun in that.
Bones need to be picked.
After seeing the replays, the ref needs a good fucking hiding.
Great second half, but really frustrated about losing.
too many mistakes all game by lots of players
couldn’t come back from 2-0 down
maybe harry should have started with sandro and parker with modric further but i am not going to blame him for starting with that team,
our passing and awareness seemeed off and the strikers were not where they should be when it mattered
in short were we in control of the game,were we fuck :dizzy:
That was a real kick in the nuts, Stoke were every bit as vile as expected and we just didn’t play anywhere near as well as we can, simple as that really. On another day, with a referee who isn’t an absolute disgrace, it would have been at least a draw. Try and take heart from the fact that the one team that tried to play football was ours. COYS.
