Aphrodite Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I want to punch Sepp Blatter in the face. There is no argument, whatsoever, against goal line technology. Surely the fact that you can't tell after all those camera angles is an argument? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I can;t disagree with the Simpson penalty claim, but if Holloway genuinely thinks that the Krul penalty shout was a penalty he needs his eyes testing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Simpson and Krul ones clearly weren't penalties, I'm yet to be convinced there was any contact between Campbell and Williamson (all camera shots inconclusive), goal looked like it was over the line. We looked shit. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Stoke, Bolton and Everton at home spring to mind. Average teams admittedly. In fact, his best 5 or 6 performances this season have come against top 4 clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think he played really well against all three. Then why on earth did you mention them? Love him as a player. But I don't think Nolan and Tiote will work for much longer as a partnership, simply because Nolan often goes missing, and that leaves an attacking void which Tiote is quite frankly terrible at filling. As we saw today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the bit about Tiote having to fill an attacking void like, we've seen that too many times this season. Hopefully the problem will go away with Ben Arfa back.

Conjo Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Woke up 4 am to watch this heap of shit performance. Good point by the way Ronaldo. Nolan offered nothing against them, and that might affect Tiotes performance. Not even his excellent "captain skills" were there today to push the team on. One example of how bad we played (or our tactics were) were after a counter attack by Blackpool. We regained possession with 10 men well inside our own half, and instead of keeping possession and moving the whole team forward, the ball is lumped up to Ameobi who were 1 against 5-6 Blackpool players. Needless to say Ameobi lost the ball, and a new wave of attack from Blackpool came, with us defending with 10 men behind the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It was a terrible game (well for us anyway), we were very lucky to get a draw! Shola was atrocious today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I am sure I could pick at least halfa dozen of ourplayers that were just as bad, even worse than Shola, including Enrique who just seems to lose or givbe away possession in dangerous places. This was woeful and to be honest, Blackpool deserved to thump us. They can count themselves exceptionally unlucky not to get at least one penalty. Having said that though, at least we appear to be safe now and hopefully, Ashley will have viewed the inept performances awayto Villa, Stoke and Blackpool as clear evidence that major investment in the team is rewquired next season and the appointment of a manager with decent credentials or we will be in for a long drawn out fight against relegation next season.
