the difference seems to be that all three of the offences by our players were out of the ordinary. a punch, an elbow in the face and a body check/head butt. the message from the F.A. is clearly that if you want to hurt someone, make it look like you're trying to tackle them.

yeah i know mate, i'm with you. i'm more pissed off with our players than i am with the F.A. though.

I don't think anyone is really going to dispute that, but fair enough. noted. this thread just has a distinct air of deflection going on. our players have been idiots, they get punished. talking about huddlestone and de jong's not gonna change it.

yup. collocini's fucking ridiculous, he's got footballing small man syndrome, he knows he's not physically cut out to be a central defender in this league but feels like he can make up for it just by being violent, it's not the first time he's lashed out.

my point is that if our players could behave themselves we wouldnt have a problem.

i agree with you all about consistency, but i think a few of you aren't seeing the wood for the trees here. of the three incidents that have seen our players get banned, not one could be interpreted either way, they were all blatant.

expectations rise, he spends 10 million on david wheater and plays him up front. imagine how funny it was for everyone else when it was us

i'd hope it's bollocks like. we all saw how he did with money to spend here are you mad? i cant imagine many things i'd rather watch than fat head spending a fortune on shite and gettin sacked again

probably not a better time to play em really

Balotelli's a fucking roar man, he's genuinely mental. And i'll always, always hate Man U more then city, cant help it.

Did I say we should have won them all? No I didn't. I said I expected better, at least 1/2 wins out of those five. Wigan in particular are terrible, Blackburn were there for the taking. And I'm not saying result = effort at all. I'm saying that I don't think the effort they put into Blackburn and Fulham was good enough. We played well at Arsenal and Everton, and against Sunderland and Villa at SJP. I don't think we played very well in the last half an hour yesterday - we were just hoofing the ball up to Carroll and hoping for the best - we couldn't get past them so we gave up. You know what, fuck it. It seems I'm insane and 'deluded' for expecting us to play well and win AT LEAST ONCE against a few shit teams. I obviously expect us to win every game and win the league like. There's your problem right there, you and the entire east stand. Football isnt played on paper and you dont always beat the teams below you and lose to the teams above, you lot booing when things dont turn out as you expected and hoped are like children. Booing a team that is clearly putting the effort in is inexcusable if you want to call yourself a supporter.

mate, it's fucking pathetic. the one's booing are the ones 'going on'. we're a newly promoted club sitting in 7th position in the premier league, anyone booing that is a cunt, and anyone who's stupid enough to ignore the bigger picture and boo a draw at home to a good team is a stupid cunt.

another point gained as far as i'm concerned, we're having a good season imo

fair play to him for the name change tbh

you must've checked the odds for 1-2 ? mattypnufc must have made a fortune on Wednesday. Or whatever he's called.

nailed on then, thats our specialty

as far as i'm concerned, 5th in the league after 12 games, better goal difference than everyone bar the top 3 is more than satisfactory. yeah, we're losing games at home, but we're performing well away and picking up points. i think home form's probably the easier of the two to turn around, not sure what i'm basing that on like but i just have a feeling. we're doing more than ok lads, where we win or dont win has no bearing on whether we stay up or not, and thats paramount. p.s. TWO of the joint four top scorers in the league, who'd have predicted that one?

the one victory i always remember from allardyce's spell was the 1-0 away at fulham, i've never seen us win and deserve it less, awful, awful, awful game.

much like the last two games, go ahead and i just cant see this lot giving up a lead without something spectacular happening. and i think thats what pleases me most about us at the minute, we've always been the best in the land at shooting ourselves in the foot in a match situation but we look a lot more composed recently, maybe the lost home games have helped us.

to be honest i'm expecting it to go quiet for a bit and then the club will confirm he's signed a 3 and a half year deal on a wednesday night at 10pm a few days after we've lost at home. would be typical of this lot.

so proud of them all today
