What a ****ing joke, denied by a bad ref decision and a late goal AGAIN. What a comeback by the boys though, and GET IN BONY! Still, first half **** can't be excused...at least we look fired up this time, Laudrup must've given them a bollocking. We need to beat Fulham.
chasing a game for 3 points at home to such a poor team as Stoke is really not good enough, and with the international break, I see some developments coming our way! ....................
<<<<<<<<Stoke fan in peace here>>>>>>>> Good game, provided a lot of entertainment... for both sides. We were both let down by sloppy defending and bad referee decisions against us both. Your playing style was good, passing well. However I did think that you were letting yourself down repeatedly by making silly fouls, having 5 players yellow carded... Furthermore there was a lot of time wasting at the end (particularly Routledge booking and Pozuelo subbing). Neither of us were innocent but still a good game to watch and a vital point in our race to stay up and your race to get into Europa again... Thanks for the good game Stoke fan in peace
The joke is not the ref, but our players that can put it together when they want, which proves they are just coasting most of the time this season, and Laudrup needs to sort it out, if he wants to manager at a bigger club!.................. Another win lost in the dying seconds!
I want to know what the difference was with that handball and the one we never got against West Ham. The law says hand to ball intentionally, so then no handball. The FA need to sort this out as the points lost not dropped can have a massive effect on our season. Well done lads for a gutsy second half display, now we need to be doing this over the whole 90mins.
I don;t have it DVR'd to look at again, but talk about ball hit upper arm. What a weak decision for a penalty, which should have be retaken because of Stoke encroachment on the box (but that **** is never called back these days). Bony came on strong in the second half. Great for him. He just gained so much steam from scoring that first goal. I though Poz played well. Dyer was full of energy when he came on - looks like sitting him at the proper motivation. Lamah put in another good shift. Shelvey did well for the third goal. JDG had a good second half as well.
Bony did play well, if he played like he did today from now on I am sure you will do well; makes us feel jealous that we didn't splash the cash on him like you did. Shelvey's assist with the 3rd goal was good, the cut back and then cross was perfect.
strange game ! played crap went 2-0 down looked like losing this one, then after an attitude and player adjustment came back from the dead to surley have a great win, then ref takes it away at the death with a poor/synical decision ! So was it a point gained or 2 dropped ? The sooner we get to safety this season the better though i doubt it will be as early as last season going by current standards .
