    I know, we where sh***. And this isn't just about today, but time wasting in games is getting beyond a joke! Today was the most I've seen in a while (it started in the 2nd minute) and yet only 5 minutes are added on. Basically proving it works, i hate it when we do it aswell but until referees stamp it out we aren't getting the 90 minutes of football we pay for. This season has been the most I've ever noticed really in other games I've watched on tv it just really irritates me.

    Always been there and always will be, if you can use it to your advantage then so be it. Every club does it and it isn't going to change.

    It ruins the game quite a lot though at one point i started counting how long each throw in and corner took, and it was around 8 seconds for a throw and 25 for a corner! I don't enjoy it when we time waste, its not a good end to a game... fair time wasting like taking it into the corner is ok as your actually having to work for that

    I have to admit it was bad today, I know Krul has been unpopular with the opposition many a time, but West Ham were taking to the ground for the slightest thing today, it was beyond disruptive, not making any excuse for our performance today, it was woeful, but even Nolan told one of his own players to get up!
