I still think we might nick this , we've become quite good at winning when we don't really deserve to. I want to see Benny come on, give us more of a threat. Nearly from Caulker
We haven't had a "nightmare" match in a long time. - since arsenal probably. We've already conceded a penalty,we're getting nothing from Webb and we're close to being down to 10. we're also due to be beaten, and it's been a while since a real underdog has beaten us in the league.... COYS!!
Did you know that Howard is actually Webb's middle name - his first name is ****ing, judging by how often people use his full name...
Hopefully AVB will bring Adebayor on at half-time, it was always gonna be difficult playing the first half with ten men.
I'm just at a loss as to why we have to keep putting up with Webb as an official. That we have him and Clattenburg for these two games is simply a joke. The amount of off the ball fouls that he's indicated our way and then done nothing about is ludicrous, for a start.
We look dangerous every time we attack them so maybe we should be more positive. That being said, Jarvis is causing Walker loads of probs. Lennon has been very quiet for the 2nd game in a row. Holtby has been all over the park - not sure if he is roaming too much as Ade is getting isolated.
We need to sign Oscar, not the Chelsea player the Pistorious one. He could shoot Webb and claim he thought it was an intruder. Edit, he could claim he thought he was an unbiased official, he'd probably get away with that.
It was such an annoying penalty. Maybe it was a penalty but it wasn't like he was going to score that's what is so annoying. So avoidable.
is it worth playing Ade at all, when Bale is central? he just looks completely lost, like he doesn't know where to stand. we'd be better of just admitting that Bale is our new found temporary striker, and give Sig or dempsey a run on the left. Ade is just completely out of the game. Even when Bale goes on the left, Ade does nothing as the central main man. he is offering nothing to the team, regardless of how we set ourselves up. It'd be nice for sigurdsson to get some time. Reading and Swansea fans have nothing but praise for the guy. We've not really seen anything of him to be honest. 10 mins or so at the end of a game here and there, is not enough.
Neville was just saying what the rest of us can see- it was a penalty all day long. West Ham are tough at home. Only 3 defeats, only one by more than one goal (Arsenal 1-3). Held City, beat Chelsea.
