I know Barton isnt up to speed, but ive been shocked this season by just how slow he is. And hes a good player all round to boot, bar the slowness. Very, very dissappointing from him this season. Didn't look that slow to me today.

How were Boro lucky? They had just as many good chances as we did. It shouldn't have been a goal, but they earned a point, easily.

Yes they did.

The ref's been shit. He can fuck right off.

Boro have always been in the match, we really needed one more goal.

Piss piss piss.

Some of Duff's running with the ball has been excellent. Keegan's definitely worked on him.

Emre? Really?

Think Duff has been very good, but Barton's also done well, for me.

The thing about Cacapa is that his timing of tackles is among the best I've ever seen. It's just the rest of his game that sometimes lets him down.

Milner could do with a shot of confidence as much as anyone.

Dont kid yourself. I think that was sarcasm.

I can't see anything good about Smith at all. He's been just as crap today as he normally is.

Knew Owen'd get one today.

Get in!

Think the fans have done very well themselves considering the pretty poor fare on show.

I thought we'd come out a bit more lively in the second half, but it ain't happening.

If we had good delivery from corners and someone to stick them in, we'd be about 5 up.

Nigel Pearson is a genius. Because Stoke were fucking awful.

Where's our next goal coming from? Probably the same source as the perfectly legal disallowed goal.

In summary: not as bad as people have might out so far in this thread.

Again To be fair to the lad, he's stuck the ball in the net twice.

It's an improvement, I think. We've had about 300 corners at least.

Hold on. Smith's playing?

I'm bored.
