This result shouldn't really matter too much in the wider context of our season, but given the performance and total inability to even slightly compete today against a patchy City side I can see why there's a lot of us pissed off. If we miss out on Europe via the league it's not today that'll have done it but some of the home defeats to the likes of Brighton, West Ham, Fulham etc that have done it.

Cup final coming up so we need to go into it in absolutely rubbish form as per the rules of the footballing gods.

Not a clue what he's even tried to do today, even if you were to put it down to the players just being off it.

Nice one lads, brilliant this.

Fucking pathetic this, absolutely stood off and rolled over.

Why did we expect anything else? It's at the Etihad, doesn't matter what we do right or wrong

Couldn't be happier to see those wall pushing cunts denied by a late controversial goal at the end of long injury time. Fuck them.

Too funny.

Brilliant header from the shortest bloke on the pitch that.

First time I've been pleased to see an Everton goal at Woodison in an age, that. Get in.

Just because the Etihad is such a graveyard for us I can't help but feel we'll be the better team but will somehow come out on the end of a narrow defeat.

Just read on .com that we've appointed Robbie Stockdale to assist O'Carroll with the U23 side. I thought he came across really well when he was on the Sunderland documentary a few years ago, seemed a good guy. Hopefully another decent appointment.

The first goal not crossing the line, which I agree was lucky but it's not "cheating" if the linesman makes a mistake unless you're an unhinged sad mackem who thinks the Saudi overlords paid him off.

Best comment in the surprisingly yet to be Parsnipped, extensive match thread of our game that they don't care about over on the Groomers: "Imagine having to play a full strength side away to Birmingham and still resort to cheating" 9 changes made from the last game How about imagine getting through a cup tie in the first place rather than being potted at home by Stoke who can't buy a win?

He knew it was in hence why he blootered it over the bar.

Son starting for Spurs every week feels a bit like very late career Shearer for us - not good enough but in there every week cos he was captain and because of his club history.

That would be a red card for any non top 6 side. Clear deliberate elbow.

Even when he scores he can't help but hit the post!

He's really, really good like.

Great to see him back amongst it, slotted into that back line absolutely seamlessly late on.

Schar carded for that and nowt for Rice, fucking bent bald cunt.

He's absolutely got Arteta's number all ends up. This mob shit their duds every time they set foot in St James.

These cunts are proper shite aren't they

Finally, the opposite side wins a set piece on the stroke of half time and isn't allowed time to take it instead of us
