like when the everton player slapped his team mate, no reaction
if it was on a man u player, theyd have been on the floor rolling about
its all cheating thats been allowed to creep in
too many people creaming themselves about Greaves - he most certainly isn't brilliant in the air - in fact he's proved he isn't Premier League standard after many faltering performances last season - he's not even been first choice for Ipswich in the Championship with many fans on his back - last night he didn't stand out except for acting like a fanny on a couple of occasions, reverting to his trade mark shirt pulling in the area again which last night's useless ref deemed it acceptable and penalised Joseph instead, a couple of sliced clearances and a pass straight into touch - £16 million - we pulled their pants down, second only to the sale of Clucas to Swansea for a similar amount
Please don't tell me you're saying Coyle had a good game last night?
I know you're on the wind up if so.
You’re forgetting the completely unnecessary yellow card from jumping in when he didn’t need to.
I thought it had 0-0 written all over it. A really poor mistake for the first goal, one extra step is all it needed and it’s an easy header away, it was such a poor cross.
We were good in the first half although could’ve done better with a couple of opportunities on the counter but otherwise we matched them. They had a miles better team compared to ours which included two of our best players from last year so I thought we did well considering. They should be top 6 at least end of the season with the team they have.

Er, we don't. We have a consultant who basically phones in with advice/research on upcoming opponents.
He’s a cross between a donkey and an octopus.
Never rated him and his shirt pulling antics.
Hi.
Take a listen to jakirovic's comments. Anyone thinking this set piece consultant, in a week, will have had any material impact on something like throw ins is daft.
He basically just highlights weaknesses in upcoming opponents for us to prepare for and hopefully exploit. He's a consultant, not a coach.
Giles had the assist for Destan and then laid one on a plate for Joseph vs QPR which he managed to hit the goalie with. I also thought he had massively overhit a cross well past the far post, which found Belloumi who then miscontrolled. Burnsey pointed out that no City player had got in the box. That ‘over hit cross’ was actually his only option and considering he had a split second to pick out, was incredible vision and skill.
He also put in a few tricky crosses last night too, so have no concerns about him being worked out.
Agreed. We just need to make sure we're using him as an outlet more frequently as the number of crosses he's able to put in per game has definitely dropped off recently. It's the build up that's started to fall down a bit.
I made this point last season but it was in reference to a game between Liverpool and Chelsea. It was that funny viral moment when Núñez went shoulder-to-shoulder with Veiga for a loose ball and came out on top. Ref called a foul against Núñez and both he and Slot went mad.
It seems if a player wins a duel (fairly) against a bigger opponent and the bigger player ends up on his arse, the ref will consider it a foul regardless. That was evident when Gelhardt and Joseph both battled with Greaves.
Lundstram coming back should help, he loves a raking diag to the full back.
I didn't think they looked that good on Tuesday. Unfortunately we weren't any better. It was a scrappy game all round.
"It was a tough game and I thought we showed the things you need to show in the Championship on tough midweek nights when you're not playing on a perfect pitch.
Not being at games but watching from overseas, is there a problem with the pitch again. After replacing it before last season, it was awful during the winter last term, is there a serious underlining problem with it?
