kingdawson. We deserved 3 points from our game. Seriously, for except 15 minutes of the 1st half we were the better team throughout, just like Fulham were today. However, big teams graft out wins and draws even on bad days just like you had today and that's why I think you'll probably finish in the top 4 (right behind us )

QPR stands out as a fixture we didn't deserve anything from (though I didn't catch the whole game, I should add). Which was more than evened out by Villa, which we deserved three points from. A draw wasn't an unfair result from the Spurs game, but I was disappointed to leave the game with only 1 after Tiote bossed your midfield so convincingly. Villa and Spurs were game we deserved to come out on top. But we only deserved draws against Wolves and Wigan and also didn't deserve anything from the QPR match. Anyways, who gives a shit, we're 3rd and we're staying there till the season ends.

Ah right

I can't, personally. Eh? Wolves and QPR we were lucky to get away with 4 points, should've been 1. Then I'd argue that we only deserved a draw from the Wigan match too. We really shouldn't be in the position to say to other team fans they have gotten lucky with getting points.

Downing I'd have. Better than Obertan.

Agreed, it was a penalty no doubt about it. But still think that the ref somehow justified it by not giving Sammy a penalty, as I was of the opinion that Hibbert pushed him in the air just like Ba did Crouch monday night.

I'm more worried about Tiote being missing, Guthrie has been better in his last 3 games than Cabaye has since he got injured for France. Jesus Christ. Guthrie was worse than Cabaye today, until Cabaye went off he then raised the level of his game. Against Stoke I think they were both equally good, but Cabaye was distributing the ball better. Cabaye is more than twice the player Guthrie is, and if he doesn't play against City we'll have more problems than we already should have. Guthrie was one of our best players today, in fact for me he was the best player on the pitch. He was also better than Cabaye against Stoke and Blackburn according to the people who watched the cup game, in fact I think Cabaye has been below par since he got injured against France so I'm not sure what the problem is with me saying that Tiote will be a bigger miss? Or are you one of these posters with the "If Guthrie starts we will lose" attitudes? If you look on the Guthrie thread, I said he was my MoTM, but I thought Cabaye was the better player until his injury. Guthrie got better as the more open the game got. Anyways, I agree that Tiote will be the bigger miss, but I was just reacting as I read your post as it really doesn't matter if Cabaye misses the match since Guthrie's been better. Might have interpreted it all wrong, apologies Baggio.

As I can't see us winning, we should definitely have that if we beat the mackems at SJP later on this season. megusta face is class.

Don't really agree. Guthrie had more energy in the 2nd half, but Cabaye ran his socks off in the 1st half and was although, the game passing the midfield by with the ball hoofing to the forwards, trying to get involved. He pressed smartly and even had two or three good balls to our strikers. Ran out of energy in the 2nd half, but considering he's been playing the whole season and 120minutes at Blackburn 4-5 days earlier its not to weird. He's a clever player who works his socks off everytime he's on field.

City is the next match, might be therefore.

We were 2-0 up with Cabaye on the pitch and were considerably worse after he went off. WTF are you on? Some people are out of their minds, that's just the way it goes. Cabaye is like an invisible wall to some, they can't see him, yet he's there winning tons of possesion in midfield and spreading the ball around wisely.

Worked his socks off in the 1st half. But once again he has a bit of a mixed performance. Good at times, and frustrating at other. Was still by far not our worst player this evening, had a decent game, but the amount of offsides were ridiculous.

He made up for it as he gave us a goal earlier. Great game from Heitinga for us. Should make him captain.

Everton played better than us whole of 2nd half tbh They had more ball than they did in first half, but no one played better than anyone as it was a very bad 2nd half for both sides. Doubt anyone would be happy to play a half like that.

Ace, really don't want to see those cunts winning it. Most detestable team in the league along with Stoke and Bruceland.

He was told to do his job, not to be excellent How do you know what he was told? Why do you have to be a douche most of the time? Seriously, why can't you just limit your posting to the good stuff you actually post when you try?

Unlucky on the lad, had an ok game. Nothing spectacular but tried when he could. If he and Obertan are out I hope to see Tiote Cabaye Guthrie HBA/BA Best Jonas/Ba Need to pack that midfield. Jonas would help defensively, but there's no point in going to Manchester and play negative as you'll only lose. With BenArfa-Best-Ba i can see us maybe getting a goal or so and surprising them.

Lee Cattermole is a joke off a footballer, nothing he does can be considered good.

If Norwich draws this then full creds to them to come back from 3-1 to 3-3 in two straight games.

1878 wants to know how our lot is 2nd after playing shit and yet being better than them over 90 minutes? How bad are Everton then?
