The team instruction when we're two up is to sit back and see the game out. It has/nearly has cost us on numerous occasions this year. Fulham h/everton h/wolves h&a are all examples.
Can ref's give a penalty for a foul in the box, and at the same time book the player who was fouled for simulation (i.e. dramatising the foul).
See the issue in the Man City game just now for an example.
Will take a win of any sort. Think it'll be a nervous game. 2-0 up, Holt to score a header and 30 mins of us shitting ourselves before the inevitable goal/world class save from Krul.
Massive game with Everton and smb's hot on our heels. Need 4 points from next two games.
Krul, Santon, Williamson, Colo, Raylor, Jonas, Cabaye, Tiote, HBA, Cisse, Ba.
If Liverpool win then it doesn't matter who the losing finalists are. Better to have everton or Sunderland play spurs in the semi as they're less likely to fuck it up than Liverpool.
Looks that way. Looking like we've got a decent chance now of 7th being good enough for Europe. Still worried that one of Everton/Stoke will go on a good run and challenge us for it. Need to be 4 points clear of Everton going in to the final day.
It's absolutely ridiculous that the lad hasn't been given the chance that obercrap had to showcase his talents. Hopefully Pardew's finally seen the light.
