He was as much as sloppy as he was magnificent yesterday. We were warned about his lapses in concentration when he first signed. At times he was excellent, but needs to cut out the silly half-arsedness in possession.

Always thought referees in the premier league, as incompetent as they may be, were always sound as f*** when it comes to swinging matches for cash. How can anyone look at the match yesterday and not begin to have doubts?

what a bunch of halfwit morons

The only reason the scouse cunt touched the ball is because Haidara swiveled just in time to evade an incoming tackle, trying to shift the ball onto his right foot. And what an incoming "tackle" it was. Can;t even begin to describe the outrage I still feel at everything associated with that godforsaken match. From the result, to the injuries, to the blatant ref incompetence, to the standing ovation, to their wankstain of a manager's comments and now Whelan. Justice is a dish best served cold, and I hope they go down never to return.

No composure. We rush everything. This is the problem and not the passing itself, if that makes sense. It's a mental thing. Watch the way Tiote plays as it epitomizes this notion. Everything is rushed to no positive end. For 90 minutes we play like we're in the last minute chasing an equalizer. All stems from Pardew's "shitting it" mentality.

Martinez can fuck off with his shite team. How the fuck he and Wigan are rated by most on this forum is beyond me! Look at the fucking league table!!

Gutting defeat. Absolutely gutting. I'm sat here writhing in pain over the injuries, the incompetent (and probably corrupt) refereeing, the last minute goal, and most of all the abysmal standard of football we play. It really is a lot to take, and I haven't got a clue why it affects a fan so much. It's just football at the end of the day, is it not? Hard to say if we're definitely safe from relegation, but the fact that there are still some seriously shite teams around us (including Wigan who are extremely overrated on this board) might mean we are probably staying up. Surely we can't continue to play this amateurish style of rushed and incoherent football for much longer? Something has to give. Pardew either needs to bring in a serious coach or be replaced himself. No apologies for my ramblings. Emotions all over the place at the moment.

How in the fuck was that blatant handball not spotted?? for fuck's sake!!!!

Take off the only player who is trying. Nice.

Fans clapping him off. Hope they fuck off never to return

Career ending tackle that was.

Also pleasing to know we got through without Krul, Coloccini, Cabaye-ish and Ben Arfa. With those four to come back into contention soon enough hopefully, who knows?

Fucking boggles the mind. I've not seen him put in a single bad performance playing in the center. Superb.
