First off, im mega dissapointed by todays result! 2 if not all of Stokes goals were off side today and all were an infringement on our keeper. Gordan had a good game but could not compete with the dirty tactics of a dirty Stoke team end off! We played some good stuff today but the ref was totally against us and it seems the god of football was too coz Stoke are a terrible anti-football team! All they did was hoof the ball and to be fair we played right into their hands and gave away far to many free kicks, throw-ins and corners! I would of thought that if your up against Stoke then the least you would do is not give too many free-kicks, corners and the inevetable throw-ins with that boring twat Delap! Summary: Fair play Stoke, you did us but your going no where! Im not worried, all the lads played well and Gyan, Muntari, Rico looked good and Sessegnon looked mint! Not worried! FTM
No sour grapes from me, Stoke have their game plan and stick to it but would give up watching football if that's all there would be, might as well do away with midfielders and have 5 centre halves and 5 centre forwards. Thought the ref was a definite homer
trolling mackem gives an entirely predictable response, suggest he reads the reviews of both games and then re-considers his words. Although the what passes for a skunks brain is incapable of balanced thought in most cases if this piece of detritus is anything to go by. Apparently the RSPCB is trying to get the Pica Pica(Magpies latin name) renamed as it is getting such bad press at being associated with the cartoon army that cars swerve to hit them on the road.
What annoyed me with the ref was Sess got nailed by Shawcross after about 5 mins was a clear yellow, not given, Huth went through him 10mins later, no yellow, eventually Delap does get a yellow with a few minutes left. If Huth and Shawcross had been on yellows, maybe Sess wouldn't have taken such a kicking, what a player he looks though, he's going to be phenomenal. Stoke are a truly awful side, but their delivery into the box is such high standard and so consistent, they will cause problems. Personally, i though Gordon had a stinker, but he's entitled to the odd one, the first goal, offside or not, he didn't get off the ground, and the 3rd goals gone straight through him.
