you fucking what? He's a French journo. I'm guessing he's saying that the English media are focusing too much on the wrong things and that Haidara (who's name they can't pronounce) is an after thought in all of it. There have been a few cunts who focused on how distraught McManaman was when he was subbed. Conveniently forgetting he and McCarthy gestured to Halsey that Haidara was faking at the time it happened.

Whelan can't resist trying to get under Ashley's skin. Proper WUM.

Not that sort though....

Has any one replied with Larsson's karate kick yet?

Yes you're right. It's all Tiote's fault that McManaman is a thug. Well done.

Justin Lockwood ‏@Lockers75 That tweet from McManaman was from 6 weeks ago by the way.... not today. Not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. It's more in relation to Martinez statement that he's 'not that sort of boy'. That tweet clearly shows he is.

callum mcmanaman ‏@cm_macca Wow never been so cold on a pitch in me life that was a funny game haha are boys love a tackle.. #chaos #twofoot Not that sort though...

There's definite intent. You can see the rage in his face as he's making contact.

No injuries please

Martinez comments wind me up even more. How can you defend that shit.

No we didn't get a free kick. We got a free kick for a later handball (which also didn't get a card). Martinez was just acting like a prick.

Anita would do well under a manager with a different football philosophy. He's never going to fit into Pardew's vision of a football team. You have to question that signing a little bit given that. Did he think Anita was a different kind of player?

I wasn't angry after Sporting Lisbon just completely broken.

A few seasons ago we finished sixth man. SIXTH!!!! But yeah, I'm thinking of having children just to be able to tell them I saw this lot live. So jealous Does it get a bit boring though? Being so good and beating every one whilst playing amazing football. Can't imagine it's really THAT good....

Supporting Barca really must be the easy life. If you're a local Barca fan it must be like winning the lottery.

It's also not like this is an isolated performance either. He's consistently an awful referee. Also referees should not be as overweight as he is in the modern game.

Journos have been suggesting that he's said in his report that he didn't see it () - if that's the case then maybe the FA will look at it. Can't say I expect there to be any action like. And it wouldn't make me feel any better anyway. Why not? Sky made quite a fuss about it.

Yeah. Not sure whether we'd get an extra place or just take the 5th placed teams spot in the Europa if somehow we managed to win it.

He could do with a rest...if he wasn't so important.

For the best. He'd most certainly get injured on international duty the way things are going.

What's worse is that he didn't show any remorse until Carver let him have it.

Debuchy was playing well, not that we looked capable of taking any advantage from that. We played some dangerous balls into the box like we have quite a bit since we brought our new signings in without getting anything from them. We don't know how to attack as a team and that's unacceptable at this level and costly for us. I am not defending Pardew and I agree with your last sentence. I just don't subscribe to this 'it was all Pardew's fault today as it always is' thing.

West Ham did worse
