in all my years playing competitive sport i never went after a ref the way man utd players did and its strange how the accept the refs decision in other sports. Maybe we are watching different sports, but I don't see anything worse in football than any of the other sports I watch and/or play. I don't football much any more as its not my best game, but when I play my other sports there are often fights and arguments. Referees are often question. It is not reprehensible. It is a result of the high pressure environment.

People who act like it is some horrible disgrace that footballers sometimes become angry with one another. You'd think it was some horrible crime when footballers argue, push each other, have small fights, or question the referees. These people must have never played sport at any point in their lives. It's competitve and emotional. The things that happen on the pitch are no worse than what happens at the gym or the training pitch every day in your local area.

I don't see why not. Tottenham are just a better club than Newcastle at this point in time. Better financial position, better on pitch results, better players, better manager, European exposure, and more prestigious. It's an uprward move for a football. I don't think the boys up top will be interested in letting things proceed that far, though.

Six million for a young English talent who shined with the youth national teams? Triple that and we'll open negotiations. Otherwise, Tottenham can lose our number. I'm not even one of Andy's biggest supporters, but he's clearly a very valuable part of the team.

Versatlie player who looks comfortable in central midfield or defence. Le Guen played him at right back for Cameroon, but I got the distinct impression the Frenchman had no clue what he doing. He's a great destroyer, but his passing is nowhere near the other top players in his position. M'bia the player is better is better than anything we have/had in defensive midfield or defence, imo, but M'bia the person is a cancer. He threw a fit to get Rennes to sell him to us last summer, and was "injured" until the end of the current transfer window angling for a move and/or payrise.

Brandao is an idiot! The ball was flying over their heads to Gignac and he throw Hannson to the ground for no particular reason. Why would you even give the referee something to blow for?! Inch perfect cross from Taiwo, Gignac's first goal for the club, a massive win, and olliemort's bets all ruined.

Wow. Mbia mistake let Park make it 2-1 Monaco, and then OM respond within a minute. 2-2. We have to go and win this now. One thing I'll say for Azpilicuetanis that he's the Spanish Rory Delap.

Gignac is awful. I cannot believe management spent 16 million euros for this. Between him and Azpilicueta, they've spent 25 million on players who have awful thus far.

Deschamps disliked Ben Arfa (feelings were mutual tbf). Kone isn't anything special, and Niang wanted out for his big money Turkey move. The rightback situation baffled me as well. I think Azpilicueta will be a good player for us, but as you said, a 21 year with little experience is the only natural right back for the champions.

Is Bonnart still without a club? Yeah, he's still available. It seemed weird to me that OM released him and weird that he is still available as he's been linked with a number of clubs in England and France. The latest news was that he should be signing with Monaco within the week, but he's still officially a free agent.

We should have brought in Laurent Bonnart for free or tried to get Onuoha on loan. Perch should be nothing more than a utility back up at this level.

Routledge and/or Jonas will look much better with a competent central midfielder other than Barton (Tiote/Guthrie/Gosling) and HBA on the other side.

It was their first match with the club. That's customary. It's leaving there for 70 minutes which is criminal.

What a miss :lol:

Well, then.

Parker is easily one of the dirtiest players in the Premiership. Runs around fouling players all day, yet rarely gets punished.

Ramires looks poor, tbh. He runs around all day, but he's lightweight and doesn't look like he really has ability to pick a pass or shoot. Nowhere near as intimidating as Essien or classy as Obi. He'll see a lot of bench.

Ameobi to mark ten glorious years with a brace.

Chris is playing some kind of joke leaving HBA on the bench. The boy was in fantastic form before he decided to stop playing for OM. He can change everything. edit: stream delay. Here it comes.

Has it ever even happened before? Derby. Wake the f*** up, it was 2-2. The didn't get relegated that season, but Hull were insanely awful and wore ghastly orange.

yeah. good as ben arfa and tiote might be, we don't have the strikers to switch to a proper 4-4-2 in our squad. dembele, odemwingie and bellamy would've been fine for our needs, each having the pace to play off carroll or even fill in the wide positions. lovenkrands is the closest we have atm. You see that West Ham have acquired a very good striker/winger in Obinna on loan for nothing. I don't know why we didn't search out loans to fill out our squad.

It's situations like this where it hits you that our only Premiership quality striker is a 21 year old with little top level experience.

Glenn Roeder-like today. No doubt he will wait to the 65th minute for no particular reason whatsoever.

Feel bad for Zamora. A player who's really improved himself. I'm sure Fulham are delighted that the player they just signed to a lucrative contract extension has broken his leg. Four years of him.

West Ham are a poor side, but Cole and Obinna will trouble most teams in the Premiership. All the more reason we need to be beating rubbish like Blackpool.
