Sam Ricketts blazes a good chance to equalise into the stand.

Arshavin is such an enigma - has had so many terrible anonymous games lately yet tonight he's just given us a 5 minute masterclass.

Doesn't seem like 2 minutes since that dick Chris Kamara was predicting this bellend would take Peterborough into the Premiership

I tell you what, although our game was generally pretty shite, there were some entertaining moments.

 

a) Hibbert's impressive finish for their goal

b) Howard trying to shepherd a ball out for a goal kick in the most incompetent fashion ever

c) Howard storming out of his area and taking out their striker in the 94th minute

d) Yakubu. Just, Yakubu. Actually, in particular: lining up in the wall for the free kick coming from c), telling someone to turn around, and then running away himself.

I loved that one, especially when Webb didn't give anything for it if he did get the ball, he blatantly didn't mean to!

That game yesterday reminded me of us versus Fulham in 2004-5 season when we battered them 1-4.

It reminded me of when we lost to Blackpool 2-0 as well!

I refuse to get too excited.  Yet.

So we're one game away from the relegation zone. Cool.

 

Two really with the goal difference? Unless Wigan put 6 past us next week.

Wigan play tomorrow yet.

Bastards.

Birmingham's attempts to win free kicks/pens getting even more desperate.

Very good finish.

We're blatantly going to give Spurs their first clean sheet since day 1 aren't we?

Didn't think he'd be able to hack it in the big league but he's exceeded my expectations. 

Well that's one of the misses of the season from Etherington.

Hartlepool's Armann Bjornsson surpassed it with one of the worst misses ever

Well that's one of the misses of the season from Etherington.

Blackburn are going down.

Agree with this, unless they realise their mistake in appointing Kean and bring in a proper manager PDQ.

Wolves away to West Ham on New Years Day...if they lose that as well, they may as well wave goodbye.

Did Motson just describe Cole's finishing as "rampant"?

Pension him off, he's fucking hopeless bless him.

To be fair he wanted the ball changing, so booted the ball to the dugouts. Jonas the spanner kicked it back, and sliced it into the penalty area.

That absolutely infuriated me too.

What does an orange card signify? Sin bin?

A poor decision maybe.  He was going to give yellow as well until advised otherwise.

Berbatov was unmarked for about half an hour there

Still can't believe how jammy their third goal was.  Cunts.

I'm sick of him like, usually effort and commitment is one thing you can't question with him but I thought even that was lacking at times today, along with the usual failings.  Looked like he didn't want to be out there. 

Then out of nowhere he goes on a brilliant run down the left and you remember why he's there.

Then his ball across the box finds a blue shirt and it's back to square one.

With this game being so soon after the last, I assume if Spurs appeal Defoe's red he'll be allowed to play this?

Thought this as soon as it happened.  FA won't be open to sort out the appeal so I'd say almost certainly.  They surely will appeal cos it wasn't a red.

Hope he sought out De Jong and stuck the nut on him.

Terrible mistakes for the first two goals left us with a mountain to climb but we made a great fist of it and deserved at least a point.  Sadly not to be.
