Something wrong with football when that abomination can be considered a 'good side'.

No. We should have adapted our gameplan to exploit their massive, fundamental weaknesses. The fact they're slow, cumbersome and have limited footballing ability. Why we didn't just keep the ball on the floor I'll never know. Adapting the gameplan to suit their play is what we did today (long ball to Carroll) and is why we played into their hands.

We should sign Bentley in January. We desperately need somebody who can cross a ball.

Main strength? So you're basically saying they're one dimensional? That's spot on then. They were fucking awful first half, barely resembled a football team at all. They smashed their way to a goal in the second half and then we gifted them the winner. We only have ourselves to blame for letting that shower come here and take all 3 points.

That was Kenwyne Jones, mate. Hes blaming one of our lot Anar. KJones did the same thing in the first half though.

Broken record, but we should have signed Onuoha.

That was Kenwyne Jones, mate.

Yep. Stoke were woeful, worst team we've played in that first half. We were just cowardly second half.

Williamson has been sound.

That's a good point actually. Their midfield is gonna murder us.

Everton was an exception to the rule. It was back to the norm for him today, anonymous for lengthy periods of the game.

2-0. We wont get a sniff and they'll create a couple of chances and take them.

Going to this.

Vile team, which makes it all the worse. Why the referee lets them take 30 seconds per throw is beyond me. YES. I was saying that all the way through the game. It's a fucking joke.

Twas 1-1 when Tiote went off.

Yep. Should be in the centre.

He set up two chances, ran at them and caused them problems. He certainly wasn't tripe.

I know he can't speak English. Who cares. We have nobody else who resembles captain material.

Drop Nolan for Jonas. Ben Arfa in the centre. Coloccini captain. Sorted.

Feel sorry for him today. I think he's along way off being Premiership class, and it's not his fault that Hughton spent £1.5 million on him.

Been our best player this season, imo.

Back to standard. Poor today.

Me either Probably a REALLY stupid question but where is Kadar? I assume if a centre back gets injured we will bring on Mr Chuckles and Perch will move to centre back.
