Straight red? Harsh. Yellow yes, but not a straight red.

Minglet should have had that to be honest. Good finish from a tight angle but if keeper stays stood it looks s***.

After Harpers display yesterday, I do't think we can quite comment on other teams' bad keepers.

Club Statement in a seasons time: "We made a mistake, we are only human, we learn from our mistakes. Our finances are in good order and that will ensure the club goes on, whichever league we are in" etc.

Stokes biggest ever Premiership win according to Jeff...

Agreed.

Jesus, Harper man.

I have just signed up for 10 years of this shit too

Fucking hell.

Streams died, silly copyright people. SSN it is.

Because he has literally offered nothing when we have went forward. At least Shola looks to be trying (yes, I know that sounds weird)

Booooooooo. Good goal like.

H Ben Arfa Broken Leg 26th Feb 11 http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php Would be nice to see him on the bench against Bolton, even if he doesn't come on it will be a step closer

Would much prefer Best playing to Shola - Best isn't the best but at least he runs about when he hasn't got the ball. Scarily, our best striker at the club at the minute.

Jose likes it, meaning everyone should apologise to Nile now. Seriously lads, get yasel doon the pub have a pint and get yourself away from silly stories that send you into a little hissy fit - all seems immature and pathetic. He is 19 and got a tattoo, not the worst thing in the world.

Quick silly question - what happens to my footy coupon with all these postponed matches? Does the bet get settled when each game is replayed or rather just refunded?

What I really don't get is Gateshead being off today?

I don't get it, undersoil heating so it can't have been the pitch, they knew it was going to snow so why not whack loads of grit down on the area around the ground. It will work as I doubt it is below -6 or whatever temperature it stops working at.

Why is Andy carroll wearing number 29 training suit?

What did Shola do so wrong to get a 4? Same with Nolan tbh, I hate Toon fans that single a player out as a scapegoat. Nolan adds quite a bit to the team in my opinion and if you like 'leads' others. Barton too, played ok, good few passes in the centre, not great on corners admittedly. Agree with Tiote as best on the pitch for us though.

I thought Perch's performance today was massively improved, even if it was just when going forwards. Ameobi did little wrong. Overall a good performance from all, except the ref. I hate blaming refs, but there isn't anyone else that can really be blamed for us not getting a point.

Jose didn't get forward as much as normal meaning Jonas kept running into the centre and getting lost at the few times we went forwards - hopefully that was just a tactical thing with playing Man U and not something that carrys on throughout the season. Williamson I thought was canny, though could easily have had a mare if he didn't rectify his mistakes as he did. Perch, like everyone has said wasn't fantastic but he is young playing against one of the best teams in the world. He won't struggle as much against a team like Stoke. Routledge didn't cross as well as he has done pre season - though I think this is mainly due to Evra having him in his pocket most of the game. Carroll for me was our MoM, held everything well and got back. Though dropped quite deep, fair enough he probably had to as he had no service, but when we had a chance to break he was never forward. Another striker or creative/attacking midfielder needed.

Joe Hart is proving a point here it is fair to say.

Aha, so you're maybe looking for someone to do a Birmingham? Yep - I think so... maybe it could be us?

Isn't it whatever you see listed, gets added to the points total at the end of the season? Then the one with the most wins. Therefore Liverpool + 10 or whatever is likely to be more of a favourite than Chelsea + 0?
