Fair point - I don't agree with the whole evening the decisions out thing either. Tho you may be the only visiting fan to ever complain about us getting too few penalties at OT! I do wonder if the ref was wary of potentially giving us a 4-0 win with every single goal a penalty! I reckon we might have gotten the other two if either the first two hadn't happened, or if we'd banged in another couple of goals from open play. After all, you can train and train and train a ref, but they are still only human and worried what people will say if they give so many important decisions one way, even if that was the right way to call them.
Swarbs All fair and well written points you made there. That's what pieces swearing of course me OFF to be honest. We ALL saw the bloody obvious one's, the peno's. Even Tony good for him said as much. I know you, I and zillions on t.v. will have. IF they are honest of course. WHY the ref choose to IMO ignore I use that word advisidly and would not say it to his face without a solicitor present. MAKES more a mockery of WHAT the actuall socreline was ONLY 2-0 as IF had he done the RIGHT thing you would be even closer on goal/diff to Citeh.. wink, wink. WE lost and seen we're 8th BEFORE tonights games of course. I still think we're in a false position. Just my own oppinion though. NO WAY are we playing as well, at the minutes as Swansea, Sunderland, Norwich etc. Time will tell but we Stoke are now needing to pick up pts ASAP. Our goal diff given our position looks ridiclulous. Could not believe that 8 from our last 11 game have been away. Given that stat. I suppose it's not so bad. So tight down from us to the bottom, as with the top of course. Funny season and I had to laught when Lee Dixon said. Utd we're not the best team when you won the title. HOW do you WIN without being the best? IMHO YOU don't... Was going to write a piece on Sir Alex because unlike many teams would. I think he approached the game last night perfectly. Although I was surprised by Tony Ps attack looking formation. Alex was clever, your'e players stopped putting in crosses and used the pitch with the quick passing which led to both pens. Hardly did I see nor hear during commentary that. You played it long or went out wide. Which is WHY love or loathe as some do. I actually think the guy is a genius. He ALWAYS almost always wins so many games... you can mix it, tactically week in, week out. He knows how to find out teams and NO ONE Manager does it better imo. And NO I'm not EVER going to turn into a Utd fan.. Once a Stoke fan always will be. See you next season guys as Champions. PS if we DO Meet in the Europa, can you let us WIN one of the legs PLEASE. Just so I can tell my Grandson. Just remembered, we've only got to beat Valencia over 2 legs first. I honesty fancy us to do it. But I would anyway. Half full kinda guy with a sense of humour. It helps being a STOKE fan anyway it's a must have.
