Well that was disappointing. Yet again we had the bulk of the play but were really poor in the final third. The ref gave 8 minutes of stoppage time and they scored in the 11th minute. WTF is that all about?

Feel sorry for Disley and Bolton fan, Bolton just didn't show up by what I've read. I really hate Stoke and would hate to see them and their brand of 'football' win anything. It was bad enough Birmingham winning the Carling Cup without the other legbreakers winning the FA Cup

They still have to go up against us, we won't be a pushover... but we are certainly capable cockin up.

Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the extra time

Blame it on Eboue!

You're not wrong Croc! he hadn't had a bad game up to that point. He still does the odd bit of playacting but nothing like as bad as it was I love Eboue, he was at the reserves game a couple of weeks back and spent ages posing for photos and signing autographs etc - I just wish he was a better player because his attitude is great.

 

He should have just left it completely and the whistle would have gone before anything else happened....

Just so glad that van Persie scored. I backed him, Carroll, and Suarez. Thus I only lost two poonds. I imagined that it would be a goal fest but once again I was completely wrong.

I love Dirk Kuyt. 10th PL goal this season.

Lol

He certainly made this a good weekend

Got to feel for disley and bolton fan. 5 bloody nil? I didn't see the game (I was watching Arsenal v Liverpool) what the hell happened?

Couple of dodgy penalties, one of benefit, but they might have let Suarez take the other one! I would have made a profit. ION Liverpool do their fellow Lancastrians a huge favour as one might expect. Thus Arsenal won't win the title. Everyone's against me! Etc.

Both penalties very dodgy Joe. Both players were going down anyway. I feel unclean. I cheered when the Liverpool penalty went in. We might just make second now but I still don't feel right. I'm going to say a few holy mary's and how's your father's in the hope God will forgive me.

Just didnt turn up... Coyle looked deflated second half when they hit 4, he's usually off his seat shouting. Looked to have given up, rarely got up after that.

 

Found a clip of the Balo/Ferdinand incident, 38 secs in is the best

I still find it unusual that the media are taken in by the tarts and handbags material from yesterday's Manchester borefest, when we at the Riverside enjoyed a perfect and meaningful full on brawl involving both teams and coaching staff throwing uppercuts and stuff, breaking the hoarding and spilling over into the crowd. How we cheered! Marvellous and nostalgic!

That probably wasn't the best day for the worst performance since utd stuffed us 6-0 at home in 96. Excusing all megson era games of course... Anyway, I've been up for over 18 hours and I'm off to bed wondering what the hell just happened.

"......... Ferdinand was further angered when Balotelli winked at him; the United defender then confronted Platt, asking him to "control his players." Blimey! They really are an evil, violent bunch of MoFo types in the Premiership.

Oh! Apparently he also hinted his shirt badge in a threatening manner at innocent United fans.

That was the worst day of my footballing life!

Hi BF....what a shocker, I didn't see that coming, Bolton have been playing so well this season, I've nnot seen the game, did they just freeze, I saw Stoke at Spurs last week, they were just an ordinary side, I'm amamazed.

Freezing would be an understatement. The defence played like they'd just met each other, the midfield might as well have not been there for all they did, Petrov especially with one of the worst individual performances I've ever seen. As for the strikers, if I hadn't seen the teamsheet I wouldn't have known Klasnic was playing he was that anonymous. I've read that Pulis thinks he's pulled off some kind of tactical masterstroke which is complete bollocks. He could have told his players to jump up and down and spin around on the spot and they still would have won.



The organisation of getting the fans in and out was pathetic as well, and that was no doubt down to the police.  They had all the coaches be they Bolton or Stoke parking in the same bit of car park, which was fun... ludicrous.

Just read Davis has issued an appology for yesterday's (non) performance. Small comfort to the fans who made the journey down.

I said this earlier... both sets of fans coaches and cars were all on one car park. We were given the same side of the ground you had, the United fans had the other end, their end is right next to the car park. It was hell trying to get to it when you got out, all the coaches were parked up together and fans are all drunk at that time.

 

They would of been better off locking one set of fans in until they got rid of the others.

Doubt I will be going to the final

 

1) Im now skint...

 

2) Theres only a 25,000 seating allocation 40,000 or so going to corps probs...

 

 

Will be watching our reserves from the official site tonight, they streaming the City v Liverpool game from there so at least theres somethig to watch.

I don't see how both pens were dodgy, both were nailed on, Spearing tripped Fabregas and Eboue mounted Lucas.

Hi BF....what a shocker, I didn't see that coming, Bolton have been playing so well this season, I've nnot seen the game, did they just freeze, I saw Stoke at Spurs last week, they were just an ordinary side, I'm amamazed.

 

 

 

Hi RZB.  When I woke up this morning it took a few minutes to come round and remember the nightmare I'd had was actually real.  Literally any team could have beaten us yesterday and comfortably.

 

The "walk of shame" on the coach on the way through the car park after the game just rubbed more salt in the wound - hundreds of Stoke fans lining the route taunting us.

 

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

IMO Fabregas spun to the left and deliberately fell over someone's legs rather than attack the goal or pass the ball. Lucas I think suddenly stopped so that Eboue had no choice. Couple of old chestnuts but effective.

 

Blimey.  Good friends are they?

I know that in the Iberian theatre they think that cheating to get a penalty is dead dead cool, but I don't.

Cracking stream going on the official site for the reserves game

Some bloody deluded callers on 606, just listening to it on iplayer again.

 

 

 

 

F*ck knows how anyone can fault Mike Dean on Saturday...

One wonders whether any other clubs will ever be in the news again. We now learn that damage was caused to a wall in the Wembley Dressing room costing as much as sixty pounds.

hair gel squirted all round the wall for that price.

Indeed! They are just plain evil what with their winking at each other, threatening badge behaviour, and now careless use of hair gel.

Only 34 arrests... and thats only because the police ignored most of the problems.

 

 

Heres a clip, all the coaches on the same car park.... utter stupidity.

Not a bad start

We are 2-0 down already. Hope we do better at Hull- I'm going!

The diving little sh*t

 

 

Face like a slapped arse

Been to St James' Park tonight. If that's the top club side in english football then it really is a piss poor state of affairs. The Premier League is utter dogwank this season from top to bottom.

Great result for the Toon Army! Now Arsenal can pick themselves up again, this title is still in their sights.

Au contraire! A poor result for the toon army.
