This doesn't make any sense...

This ref just went from bad to worse.

A little kick out there by Ba, good thing the ref didn't see it.

I hate that tired old line "The player's reaction often tells the story" because honestly, quite often it's just a big fucking acting job.

We're just hoofing it now, after such a great first half this is embarrassing.

Nice to finally have a situation where we have selection problems due to having enough good players that are in form.

Long cross out to the edge of the box by Coloccini, chested and then headed down by Best, takes a shot and mishits it across the goal and Ba there to tap it in.

I need to get this dude in my fantasy team.

Looks like we've been given directions to not give away needless free kicks. Lots of 50/50 balls that we aren't really going for, letting them grab them and try and create something rather than giving them the chance from set-play.

Death stare!

Ba looks well up for this tonight.

Really classy from the Stokes fans.

Love seeing teams making the pitches smaller against us this season.

Glad to see a positive article about our club.

If that happens outside of the box it gets called a free kick. Why is there a different standard for inside the box?

Glad to see him get a bit of praise tonight to be honest. I'm not his biggest fan but I feel he comes under a lot of unfounded negativity. Likeable guy who will never set the world alight.

Had the balls to step up and take the penalty, fair play to him.

Hughton's working his magic again. Still think Pardew is slightly the better manager. Would be intersting how CH would do with the current squad. Doubt he would've gotten this squad though, which is the real reason I'm okay with Pardew being here at this time.

Heartbreaking.

Totally had to shit before the penalty and was thinking about trying to sneak one during the break but now the feeling has gone away completely.

Make up call?

penalty!

close.
